are you serious?

taking a quick break from my cs 10 reading. yes, communication studies 10. intro to communications. which i'm taking in my final quarter... as a comm major. we have to read this really long handout (like, 30 something pages) about social science. what is a hypothesis? what is a dependent variable? both the ta and professor made it very clear that we're expected to know the exact definition on the handout. which is bull because i can easily define these terms... but my definition sounds a bit different than the handout. so i'm stuck reading it. k bye. this class is going to be so annoying because i already know everything they're teaching us.

so, the first day of the playoffs went exactly the way i wanted.


joe sakic was the hero, scoring the winner in overtime, resulting in the avalanche upsetting the wild. it's not that i particularly love the avalanche (although their fight to stay in the playoff picture with like, every single important player injured was amazing), it's that i really dislike the wild. they are SO BORING. i would hate to see them advance. at least the avalanche are entertaining.

oh, and so long as he keeps playing as well as tonight, if the avalanche keep going, we get to keep looking at the too-beautiful-for-hockey jose theodore:



and this is a good thing.

next, the rangers and the devils. again, the devils are a huge snoozefest. so boring. can you imagine a devils/wild final!?!?! would i even watch? so i'm glad the rangers won. 4-1. in new jersey. besides, sean avery is the most fun little pest to watch. i miss having him in the kings lineup.

but let's move on to the most interesting result (that i called, by the way): flames totally shocking the hell out of the sharks, the fans and the commentators. everybody said they don't have a shot in hell at winning against the sharks. and maybe they don't in the long run, but they really won tonight. right from the start. the sharks are one of those teams that everyone says is really good, and yeah, they have lots of talent. but they've never wowed me. i've never really felt passion from them. i dunno. though nabokov is wonderful to watch. anyhow, let's discuss jarome iginla for a minute.

oh HAI!!!


i knew i loved him before this but i kind of forgot why. here is a guy that is just magical. he can just up and decide to make. shit. happen. he's exciting and soooo passionate. no matter what happens, i look forward to watching more iginla playing with playoff intensity. why doesn't he get more press? crosby this, crosby that... i think iginla is probably one of the most exciting players to watch.

speaking of crosby... he didn't really matter in today's game against ottawa. it was all malkin. and the senators didn't matter in general because it was all pittsburgh. as i said before, i don't really care who wins this one. i just really hope that whatever happens, there is nothing dramatic that involves "sid the kid" as the hero (a la winter classic vs buffalo). i can't explain why he bugs me so much.

which is funny because ovechkin gets just as much hype, but i like ovechkin so much more. and can't wait for their series vs the flyers... too bad i have to wait until friday.

OK ENOUGH!!! anaheim and dallas tomorrow, setting the stage for the one i'm going to on friday.





....and can i just say how glad i am that i happened to fall in love with hockey and not football? i can't imagine if all these match-ups were for one game only. what a crock. how are you supposed to really be convinced that one team deserves to win when it's only a one-shot thing. plus this way the playoffs last two months and there's tons of games.

k bye.



...and back to the social science hand out.
