last year after the ducks won the cup, there was a prompt release of a dvd set with all the games from the last two rounds and bonus features. i purchased this set and thus had something to keep me from going crazy with anticipation for the new season.
i figured since this time there was a finals match-up that had the official people creaming with excitement at all the attention it was going to receive, i could expect an even more prompt release. so i've been checking amazon almost obsessively. where is it?! i need my hockey!!!!!
so today i check and yay! it's there... but it won't be released until october 7. what the hell, guys? uh... the season opens the 9th. what the hell do i need the dvds for then you stupid-heads?! obviously, i'm still going to buy it but i just want to know what took so long. there isn't much to do. everything is already recorded so all you need to do is put it together and send it to me!
...i'm so disappointed... ...but they can make it up to me if there are at least a couple of shots of sidney crosby looking miserable.

then there's trent. who went ahead and released another wave of tour dates. i knew it was coming because he had some very conspicuous stops missing on his first set and, actually, i think he said more were on the way. whatever. so it looks like vegas and sacramento. and they're on a weekend, which is cool because i really don't have to miss any work or anything.
i just wish there were a few more dates out here. he has this love affair going with the mid-west, but what about arizona? isn't that a major stop? oh, and san diego? damnit trent. how about actually coming to my city? oh well. that would bring my tally up from 4 to 6. i like 6 a lot more.

i've been watching a lot of the olympics. they're cool and all, but every time the summer olympics are on i wish they were the winter ones instead. i enjoy watching swimming, gymnastics, diving and track. but isn't it sooooo much better when it's figure skating, speed skating, crazy skiing people, snowboarding, and oh, hockey?
the winter olympics are going to be in vancouver in 2010 and i'm completely serious when i say i want to go. how fucking RAD would it be to watch olympic hockey in canada?!!?!?!? it's the ultimate thing in the ultimate motherland. i can't even think of a parallel. except for maybe, like... well i guess a lot of places would go pretty nuts for olympic soccer. whatever. anyhow, does anybody want to go? it'll be so rad!
(god i can't even imagine how much hotels would be around that time... assuming you can even find one!)

i can't believe i have to work tomorrow. i have to go to bed soon, but i have all this energy and feel like i have hours to go before bed. :( i hate money.

upcoming goals:
1. go see eleanor antin exhibit at the san diego museum of art
2. go to the science center. i don't necessarily need to go to an imax movie, but i haven't been to the science center since elementary school. i'm sure it's still fascinating.
3. take a camera to the zoo with me this time so i can film the orangutans being hilarious.
4. oh, finish unpacking. i still have crap from my moving adventure in the garage (so my dad has to park outside and he is getting maaaaad) and in the living room. and you can barely navigate through my room. it's just so much woooork.
5. get kung ob woon sen (i should get an award if i spelled that correctly) from taste of thai...before new york trip.
6. obviously, clean up before new york trip because if not, when i get back, my shit is all going to be in a huge pile in my room and i will want to cry.
that's about it.
i'm feeling very scatterbrained, hyper and disappointed that it's so late because now i must try to calm myself and sleep.
au revoir!
