I decided to play hookey tonight from work and go see the Montreal Canadiens/Penguins game with my little brother. Even though the Habs lost (DAMN YOU SIDNEY CROSBY!), that was possibly the most exciting game I've ever been to. It felt like a playoff game at times. A tight, close-scoring affair with tons of great chances on both sides. Both Theodore and Thibault were absolutely incredible in goal. And really, if Montreal had to lose, that's a hell of a way to lose. The shootout ending was beyond belief. So exciting - the addition of that to tied games this year is the best aspect of the "new" NHL. Not to mention how fun it was to tease billigerent Pens fans when the Habs came from behind to tie it up. One guy who literally screamed at me to sit down and shut up every time I cheered for the Habs said a few choice words as I was leaving - I only responded, "Who's winning their division again?"

It's so much more fun to be cheering for the visitors at hockey games. It feels like more of an exclusive club. Or maybe it's just proof positive that I'm a complete masochist. Anyhow, now I have to wait until March to see the Canadiens again! Blargh. It's fun being into hockey again.

Go Habs!


Today's lyrics:
Talking Heads - "Moon Rocks"
Flying saucers, levitation
Yo! I could do that
Get ready, for heavy duty
Go one, give it a chance
I saw your hair start to curl
So get up, write it down
You better wait for a while

So take your hands out of your pockets
And get your face adjusted
I heard it, somebody lied
And I'm staring out the window
Gonna let this thing continue
In it's natural time
Roundheads squareheads
Get settled in
You can hear my belly rumble
There's a voice that starts to mumble
Woo! It's starting to sing

Protons, neutrons
I ate a rock from the moon
Got shicked once; shocked twice
Let's see, what it can do
Man in the moon, moon in the man
I got a rock in my throat
Upside, up side down
My tummy start to talk . . . (what it say?)

Gonna rock it 'till I shock it
Gonna kick it 'till I drop it
Woo! Love at first sight
You can kick it, You can poke it
Ooh, I think you broke it
What about that!
Skin from a snake, blood from a stone
You know, that ain't no lie
I got hundreds of expressions
Try to make a good impression
Woo! Right between the eyes

I don't mind - let me go
Sounds inside - I don't know
Let me be - why not stay
I feel numb - let me play

I got wild imagination
Talkin' transubstantiation
Any version will do
I got mass communication
I'm the human corporation
I ate a rock from the moon
Moon in the rock, rock in the moon
There's a moon in my throat
You might think I'm wasting time
You might laugh but not for long
Hey! I'm working it out . . . (work it out)

I don't mind - let me go
Sounds inside - I don't know
Let me be - why not stay
I feel numb - let me play
