Home from the desert. Ready to go see a hockey game for a change. My team lost to Duke last night in the tourny. They played their asses off, though.
I am stuck in Tucson with no work to do and my mountain bike...hmmmm. The sun is out today and it's about 70. Just got in from a ride and a hot tub. Meanwhile back in Denver there's at least 3 feet of snow in town, 7 feet (!!!!!!) in places like Central City. We may never see those cheesey casino towns ever again!!! Y'know...

I think I'll probably have to dig it out tomorrow since I will most likely have to work so that I can afford to go through with my weekend plans. Grr. Work. That's ok though.

You asked about Mazzy Star, each of her albums are good. I'm actually sick in bed rignt now, so getting up to name some of them is not happening, sorry. =P
Hope Sandoval is good stuff, if you are looking for female vocalists, I love Dot Allison and also Lucinda Williams. For gorgeous female vocals, I'd go for Bebel Gilberto if you are into trying worldly music, she is Brazillian. and Nina Simone if you want to travel a bit back in time and more jazzy.
And of course, then there is Tori Amos, Sarah McLachlan and
Ani DiFranco .
Hope this helps some. =)

Hrm...anything from Mexico? Can't think of anything I need at the moment, aside from a vacation. 
I am so bored with being trapped in my house that I'm watching American Idol. I guess I couldn't be idol-less anymore.

never take out contacts before journal entry. My job requires me to go to the desert to watch meaningless baseball for 5 days. I wish you all could join me. I am still looking for the nearest Turbonegro/Queens of the Stoneage gig to the Mountain time zone.
I made it home, Sarah!

hope baseball is treating you well.

Rain in Phoenix and Avs losing in Washington. What is the world coming to?? Those might be the fifth and sixth signs, respectively...
Okay - it's not winter anymore. Since Friday it's been beautiful here. Where else can you go snowboarding one day and rock climbing the next? Okay, Tahoe would be one I suppose. 
I saw the Briefs twice this weekend - they are so much fun live! They gave me a copy of their new record which I took the photos for. AND they paid me....

things could have been worse today.. the pens can at least put one good line out next year.. straka/lemieux/morozov. after that, it's pretty much picking names out of a hat. this is assuming of course, craig patrick doesn't dump more salary over the summer, or at the entry draft.
i was kind of surprised to see hrdina go to phoenix. i thought for sure washington was going to deal for him, since jagr runs that team. i was also surprised that niemenen didn't get dealt. he has one of the worst +/- on the team, and he looks pretty slow at times.. not to mention he was a healthy scratch a few times last week.
kind of a weak showing for the avs... but they're already stacked anyway. battaglia was real solid last year.. looks like a pretty good deal.
i like the cannibal corpse sequence from ace ventura...

Bloody hell it's cold here. We finally got Winter and now it won't fucking go away. I like it actually, just the driving part. I drive about 200 miles a day for work. 
I go to Tucson next week so I hope it is really cold when I leave. I watched SLC Punk the other night and thought it wasn't brilliant but a good try...

i really do hate the leafs.. not to mention i get bludgeoned over the head with coverage of them.. i don't know if you've been up to the toronto area before, but it's totally insane. between their losing streak, the nolan trade, and the bench incident the other night they have lots to bitch and complain about. they just keep dropping more cash, and my team just keeps dropping more players. bring on collective bargaining..
i actually live about an equal distance to toronto, buffalo, and detroit.. so hockey coverage is pretty intense. i imagine the beginning of the year in colorado when the avs were tanking was pretty intense. they're not used to losing.
and, don't knock the eastern conference... that's where they play the real hockey.

grrr! I was in hell (read: at work) and caught bits of the first period. they looked great! then what happened?? I missed most of it...
anyway, did you read my comments about the Avalanche wives coming in to my restaurant? How amusing. Do you happen to know who's married to the really really scary looking blonde chick?

Man, the snow we've gotten in the mountains here in the last 7 days has been unreal. Fortunately I got to ride 3 days. 3 of the best days ever.

He was so cute with that gamewinner last night...awww.
So apparently I found the bar that Skoula and Hejduk hang out at last night....it's called SOBO 151 or something and it's down on Broadway, near Alameda. The bartender got me far too drunk, let me & my girlfriend do dishes for our bar tab, showed me pictures of the hockey boys getting sloppy, and took my number. now I just need a job...

Hope everyone read the Buzz interview. I like the part where he says that the Melvins are an uncommercial vehicle not to sell records. They are the most intense live band I've ever seen...and I've seen a few.

one of my girlfriends has another friend who she says is babysitting for one of the Avs. I hate kids, but still....

So I was at work tonight, and I was watching the game when it was tied 2-2. And I said to myself, "Come on Tanguay, it's time for you to score one for me." I went to the server station, filled my drink, and walked back by the TV as they scrolled "Goal: Alex Tanguay."
Is that a sign??

Aww, I just got your note now. Well I have to work all weekend, anyway, so it doesn't really help, but it's a nice offer! Thanks!
I'm going to the game on Sunday. They better win.

Ugh. Ok. My ticket says the game is at 1:00 PM but the website and the news yesterday say it's at 6:30. what the heck?
This site seems to be running in quicksand tonight.
Anyway - this member girltoy brought up an interesting point on Cherry's journal....Who's the best NHL team ever?
I'll vote first:
'84 Oilers
Please submit yours below. If your team didn't win the Cup that year you had better have a damn good reason why they're the 'all time greatest' and didn't close the deal.

Hi.
I met Alex Tanguay and Peter Forsberg last night.
I will have a journal entry on this later.
Suffice it to say, neither one proposed. Damnit.

no, never seen the whiskey videos... good stuff?
actually dollface was telling me about some suicide footage she saw, and i guess the guys were thoroughly coked up, and doing their rock'n'roll duty.
i'd love to see vega writhing on the floor though.. the idea of it kind of reminds me of throbbing gristle. their pre-TG art show "coum transmissions".

those videos sound pretty cool, i'll have to see if i can locate one. i'm always impressed by bottles being broken over anyone's head.
But, I have posted on and around your threads almost all night, and FUCK have you ever got your shit together where music is concerned!
Wowza!
I'll send you my info now... I just thought I would let you know how I feel.
