What's a noseeum?

I'm not sure what to make of all this superstition stuff (ie the Shawn Horcoff picture) - is it a way that fans can feel like they are contributing to the team effort? A way to validate the "we" in "We won!" when the fan had nothing to do with it? I can better understand the superstitious rituals of the players - whatever gives you that little extra boost of confidence, right? I have a pair of lucky socks I wear only to shows. When I got to move up a division at the latest show (yay!) I was very nervous so I wore them the first day, took them home and washed them, and wore them the second day too. Maybe I am just not a big enough fan.

And congratulations Mary!

well, i took the Shawn Horcoff picture off the wall here at home, maybe he'll start scoring again...

and, uh, maybe i need to watch the telly when they're playing. they don't seem to do all that well when i'm not watching. hmm... so much for getting back to edmonton in time for the game, baseline road was bumper to bumper.

Just in case anyone was wondering, hell is not a furnace-like burning place. hell is full of blood-sucking insects that leave you itching and on the verge of insanity but no closer to actual death. I now know how a person could be pushed over the edge. It may have something to do with what other people have done to them, but it most definitely has something to do with the number of mosquito bites that person has received in the past fifteen minutes. I was ready to commit mass murder last night, and/or burn the forest to the ground... if it would've slowed the mosquitoes, noseeums and other biters...




CONGRATULATIONS MARY!!! I guess that means we can commiserate/celebrate our grad school woes and wonders in the next year or so. sweet!

?

um... fuck fuck fuck

fuck

fuck

Congrats mary! and to ed for his wounded knee?

Everyone's welcome to watch the game at my place, it will give me an excuse to clean up the appartment for when dana gets back. Don't worry it's not that bad!

Anyways, I'll be home around 5:30 if you want to stop by then. Bring snacks if you want, I'll pick up a few oven pizza's.

See you then,

News Corpse Stalking Points Memo. They've taken the subconscious (?) textover from Stephen Colbert's "The Word" and applied it to Bill O'Reilly's talking points memo. Slightly more antagonistic, but just as entertaining.

I've happened upon some double guest passes to A Prairie Home Companion for tomorrow night at 7:00 at the theatre downtown. Let me know if you're interested.

Beer?! But I'm driving!

Congratulations Mary!
