Delinquent Past News:
The University of Maryland men's soccer team won the national championship, and one of their players won the Hermann award (the soccer equivilent to the Heisman Trophy.) Good work Garey. I didn't know you played soccer or still went to Maryland. I suppose you'll be playing in the MLS next year. That's gotta beat "real" work.
Current:
Sylvie was hospitialized this weekend for RSV. She had to live in a bubble for a little while, and it was very sad like the Jake Gyllenhaal movie "Bubble Boy." Well, at least I'm guessing that movie was sad; I've never seen it. Nobody has, but I digress. Sylvie's fine now, and I think I made it clear to her that I do not like spending my weekends in the hospital. I like spending my weekends drinking and watching TV. I guess there was no reason that I couldn't have done that at the hospital, but the cheap hospital doesn't have TiVo. Maybe next time we'll go to a good hospital.
The Future and Beyond:
Two hours of LOST tonight. If you don't watch LOST, tonight would be a good day to start, because the first hour is a recap episode promising remind you what has happened since the beginning of the series. How can they put a season and half's worth of info into an hour? I dunno. It's magic or something. I wizard wrote the episode. I dunno. Anyhow, I think the second hour revolves around Mr. Eko (played by Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje.) That dude is tough. He was in HBO's Oz and survived.

Fantasy Hockey:

Now that I am back in first place I thought that this would be a good time update everybody. That was a scary week or so when Matt was in first place.
Team: MVP so far:
1 Timrå IK - Danny Heatley (He's a lot more valuable this season since he isn't in jail. Huh, Heidi?)
2 TheDevils (Matt) - Ilya Kovalchuk (Stayed in Russia a couple of weeks into the season. I wish he had stayed there longer & so does Sidney Crosby.)
3 Yorkie Terrors - Marc Savard (61 points. Nuff said.)
4 Blue Meanies - Rookies Marek Svatos & Sidney Crosby (Neither will win the Rookie of the Year award though. Thank you Alexander Ovechkin)
5 Pandit Bandits - Peter Forsberg (is probably the best player in the world again. I wish he wasn't on Philly.)
6 Rosemary's Babies - Eric Staal (without him, the Hurricanes would be in last place in the Southeast, not the Capitols.)
7 NJDevils (Chris) - Manny Legace (15 wins, 5 losses, & a 0.920 save percentage. Good goalies are hard to find now that the league encourages lots of goals.)
8 Yes I Have No Banana - Daniel Alfredsson (59 points & a plus 26 including 2 goals & 2 assists last night)
9 Puck - Jaromir Jagr (I shouldn't have traded him back to you, not that it seems to have
mattered to either of us.)
Mvsic:
Dntel - (This Is) The Dream of Evan and Chan On this site you will find two remixes of that song to legally download.
http://www.epitonic.com/artists/dntel.html
Dntel is Jimmy Tamborello (AKA James Figurine, AKA part of the band Strictly Ballroom, and most importantly AKA half of The Postal Service). I haven't listened to these mixes yet, but I have heard the original version and a different remix. This particular Dntel track includes Ben Gibbard (AKA lead for Death Cab For Cutie AKA the other half of The Postal Service) on vocals, but I think the Safety Scissors remix mixed Ben right out of the song. The Postal Service performed this song regularly when they toured. As a matter of fact, I believe that this was the last song that the Postal Service played live before going back to their "primary" bands. So in many ways it is a Postal Service song. Will the Postal Service reform? My magic 8 ball says "Outlook Good," but then again, the 8 ball said that the Twerps basketball team will certainly beat Duke tonight, and we all know that ain't happening. 8 balls just aren't as reliable as they used to be.
