It’s St. Patrick’s Day today. I’ve got my green sweater on. I don’t plan kissing the Blarney Stone or drinking any green beer. I guess I’ll go looking for leprechauns and watch Spongebob (who looks as though he needs a pee) dance a jig instead. Thanks to Jackson for the Spongebob link.

Here’s a wallpaper I did that you can download and use too:

Now you can use a webcam and this piece of software to solve your Rubick’s cube in 20 minutes or less. I guess if you want to you can cheat at everything. *sigh*

We had to be somewhere last night and could only listen to the first period of the game on the radio.

Jovo didn’t play. He may not play until the game in Chicago on Friday. Shite!

The predators scored first early in the period. Soon afterward Trevor Linden got an assist on a Ryan Kessler goal and then, 38 seconds later with the same line on the ice, Linden himself scored.

Things stayeed pretty much exactly that way for the entire time we were away from the game. We got back into the truck and listening to the game again with 10 minutes left in the thrid period. At 19:38 of the third frame Nashville’s Adam Hall jammed one past Dan Cloutier to tie the game at 2. What shitty luck.

In overtime the Canucks didn’t fare much better as the game ended 2 all. Rucinsky came close with 9 seconds left in OT, but was stonewalled by Tomas Vokoun.

One point for the Canucks and one for the Predators. Don Taylor, the Sportsnet anchor, said it best, “A tie is like kissing your sister”. The Canucks are still a few points behind Colorado and have other teams like Dallas and Calgary nipping at their heels.

Oh boy! Here come the play-offs.

Thanks to CKNW’s awesome audio vault I can listen to the game and follow up shows in their entirety after the fact. I never have to miss a game.

Check out the official Canucks.com – game recap

Oh yeah, and the Leafs lost to the Bruins (my favourite US team). What’s up with that Pauly?

Check out the Tipito Chili Beans site. Make sure you have the sound turned on. Refresh to hear it again and again. Be sure to click around the site. You’ll be pleasantly surprised, especially with what appears to be a recipes page. There’s even games to play. The site’s in Finnish so don’t expect to be able to read it, but you’ll understand pretty much right away. That is unless you’re deaf or don’t think flatulence is funny.

Speaking of flatulence. Maltitol is is bad. We had maltitol (a sugar substitue) chocolate bars for dessert tonight. It makes us fart uncontrollably. The house smells like a sulphur mine and sounds like a whoopee cushion factory.

We’re growing so fast here that we had to move offices for the second time in four months. Above is my space. Finally, a window!

This guy has the longest ear hair in the world according to Guinness.

You can thank Elliot, the newly returned, for this grim link.

Star Canucks defenceman Jovanovski could return Tuesday night

The Canucks sure could use a lift like Jovo returning. Injuries (and one far too mentioned suspension) have made for difficult going of late. Here’s hoping…

GO CANUCKS GO!

And in news from Florida (of course) a self professed ‘vampire slayer’ shot his Dominoes Pizza co-worker in the face as he thought the man was a vampire. The suspect is reportedly fascinated With zombies and vampires. The victim is in critical condition at a Jacksonville hospital.

Zombies I can understand, but vampires are so latently homosexual. *sigh*

Motive sought for slayings of 9

The spooky gentleman in the story above definielty has a screw or two loose. So much so he murdered 9 of his family members, most of whom were children, and stacked them neatly in the lving room. Apparently it was no secret what a nut he had been as is suspected that two of the children murdered were offspring of incestuous relations Marcus Wesson, 57, had with two of his daughters.
