i'm not sure i'm smart enough for danielewski
But that's not going to stop me from buying House of Leaves tomorrow. A new Dave Barry book might though.
I checked out Only Revolutions from the library and I'm not sure I can handle it. I feel I might have a better grip on House of Leaves because it's horror and therefore a) something I understand and enjoy and b) works better for being batshit insane and incomprehensible. C'mon, who the hell knew what Caligari was about? And it's scary!
Accounting, ugh. Job search, ugh. So that's all I'll say about that.
Yay Red Wings for beating the Penguins. I don't actually care about the Wings, but they're the right colour, and let's be honest: I'd be supporting the Avery-J. Ruutu-Osgood team if they were all about taking down the Penguins. The Obama team- well, no, I like Sidney Crosby significantly more than I like Obama. *Political humour!* Marc-Andre Fleury's ass scores another goal for the Wings in the finals, just like it did last year. I wonder what it would do to their salary cap?
Actually Flower isn't a bad guy. His ass scores a lot of goals, his nickname is Flower for God's sake, and he's willing to humour fans with silly signs. Plus he's just a cute French-Canadian, unlike Crosby who's just plain ol' Canadian, which you'd think would be better but in his case is actually worse.
But more importantly, the Hershey Bears won their first game against the Manitoba Moose. Andre Giroux scored a hat trick, with the third goal coming in overtime (and therefore being the game-winner). Oskar Osala also netted two -- I think I like him because of how many vowels he has in his name. Anyway, this bodes wonderfully and Dan got the tix for game 3 on Saturday so WOOOOOOOOO time to see the Bears drop chocolate all over the Moose on home ice. I'm tres excited.
Oh, Jon's birthday is today. He's 20. This means that next year he turns 21. That means that I won't spend a second of my junior year sober. Hell yeah. Maybe that will make the Caps more palatable.
On the other hand, if we do win Lord Stanley, I will be setting cars on fire. I'm not joking.
Edit: Toronto is only 9 hrs 15 mins away from my house! Ian, road trip?! But why is Smith 8 hrs 4 mins away despite being 20 miles farther? Did they factor in time for Trouble At Customs?
...And to get specific directions I picked a place in Toronto, that is the Air Canada Centre aka home of the Toronto Maple Leafs. But hey I'm sure it's in the middle of the city.
Edit: I am in the process of spending way too much time seeing exactly how far I am from hockey arenas. I'm almost 500 miles from the Joe and yet it still says only 8 hrs 22 mins. Although to get there I have to go down Steve Yzerman Dr. heeheehee. I'm 11 hrs away from Chicago and 40 away from Anaheim (it says "take I-80 (Passing through ARKANSAS, OKLAHOMA, TEXAS, NEW MEXICO, and ARIZONA, then crossing into CALIFORNIA)" hahaha). Man it's a good thing I know the names of all the arenas in the NHL huh? *embarrassed* Oh wow 3 hrs 16 mins to Philly? Flyers games here I come.
