i've always loved jon stewart, but lately the daily show has been funnier than ever! i know we have sarah palin's genius to thank for a lot of it because you just can't make up a character like her. everything she says is wonderfully hilarious. but whatever. thank you, jon stewart, for making me laugh hard every night. tonight's episode was especially good.

drew doughty!!! kings' first draft pick in june (second overall), and many were disappointed that the kings missed out on getting first overall and thus missed out on stamkos. to that i say: whatever. i love love LOVE this kid! it's funny that i'm five years his senior and can totally call him a kid. but anyhow, i fucking love him. we're only 5 (!!!!!) games into the season and he already looks good out there. most draft picks don't go straight into playing in the nhl, much less playing 25 minutes in a game! and how about his goal tonight?! beeeeeeautiful! he looked really good handling the puck and i'm excited about what is clearly a bright future as an offensive defenseman. i mean, he's way more exciting to watch offensively than like, kopitar tonight! he's got me more excited than jack johnson and he comes with a lot less hype. if i love him this much after only 5 games, i can only imagine what i'll be feeling oh, i dunno, 40 games from now. keep it up drew!
(right now, i don't love: kopitar. what happened to you? now that you're signed up to make like, 7 million a year you decide it's time to be invisible on the ice? i expect more from you, young man!
also, labarbera. i won't jump on the lgk bandwagon and call you 'lolbarbera,' mostly because it sounds stupid, but 3 goals on 6 shots? is that a joke? yes, two of the goals were made possible by some really ugly turnovers, but that's what the goalie is for. to bail out the team when they make a mistake. this team has been heavily made-over since last season. the penalty kill is astounding (perfect on the season! whodathunkit?!) and the shots against is waaaaaay down and you guys are looking out for one another. it looks like a real team. but the one thing that hasn't changed from last season is the spurts of goals allowed by the one and only labarbera. it makes me cringe because i know once one goes in, in the next few minutes there will be a few more. i can't WAIT for bernier or quick to mature and get the hell out of minors and give this team the goaltending they need to have a fighting chance. then they'd win games like tonight's. the kings RULED tonight and still lost thanks in large part to the goaltending.)

just remembered the nin remix site. rediscovered that he has downward spiral and year zero (and perfect drug and deep) up without vocals. BEST KARAOKE CD EVER!!! it's so cool to hear everything without the singing, especially downward spiral stuff. i can't wait until i take care of my computer situation so i can put all the tracks on my ipod and listen to it all very closely. but for now, i have nin karaoke for the car.
ok, and this concludes this segment. thank you.

oh yeah! they started this weird new segment during intermission that shows you what the players do during their workouts. i dunno how much any of us really care, but anything with frolov running around in short shorts is ok with me. he gets to be on this post because i love him... even if i don't really have a particular reason to love him today...
