Oilers Fans

Did you catch Game 3 of the Oilers vs. Ducks series on Tuesday night. What a fantastic game! Or, more accuately, what a third period! Eight goals, and a monstrous near-comeback by Anaheim. Crazy.

But actually this caught my attention... Before the game, the crowd was sing the national anthem so loudly, the singer actually stopped and held up the microphone and let the crowd finish the job. It was just amazing. I always thought that would be a great idea... a perfect way to really get the home crowd into it even more. There's a video of it posted on the web here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=meLpuF9UMvk. Those are quite the fans over there in Edmonton. Being a Leafs fan, I think we're pretty good, but I could never imagine the suits in the Air Canada Centre ever doing something like this. Good for Edmonton... I hope they win the cup.

>: PRINT LOG? Y/N

"Hey! All I have to type is Y.
Hey, Miss Doesn't-find-me-attractive-sexually-anymore: I just tripled my productivity!"

Not that I'm rating every episode and ranking them, but last night's episode of Lost was one of the best. A new Dharma station... Pneumatic tubes... More intrigue!

There has been something bugging me lately though. It seems that the characters are way too complacent with their situation. I know some people don't want off the island (ala Rose and Bernard), but it seems everyone just doesn't seem interested in discovering what the crap is going on around them. Like when Kate found the medical station and didn't mention it, Locke seeing the map that he didn't tell anyone about... and now there are these pneumatic tubes which, according to the video, "goes directly to us". Shouldn't they be all over this stuff? Either they don't care anymore, or they don't trust each other for some reason... maybe they think they're in a treasure hunt, and sharing information will cost them the prize.

And another thing... the video mentioned a ferry... A FREAKIN' FERRY! And most likely Locke and Eko will keep the info to themselves or block it from their memory and they'll go back to sitting on the beach or livin' it up in the hatch. Seriously, if I was there, I'd be searching for all kinds of tunnels and sources of power. It'd be sweeter than exploring the tunnels at UW.

Anyway, at least the show looks really sweet on my new TV.
