This hockey game is going to kill me. Seven minutes left in the second overtime.

Both goaltenders are standing on their heads and making some phenomenal saves. Too bad the refs are in Pittsburgh's pocket.

My husband (who, in the interest of full disclosure, is like me an Obama supporter) imagines the current state of the Democratic primaries as Game 7 of the ALCS: [link]

Are they worth it to a total amateur who pretty much only sings in the shower or car.

I've taken voice lessons and would take again. The teacher I had knew my goals and really helped me out. Are they worth it? Depends on your goals and your money. A good voice teacher is at least $20 for a half hour lesson. I took hour long lessons twice per week, but it was while I was in undergrad. I had to pay an extra fee (o top of tuition), but it was nominal.

Unless there's a statue of me in front of city hall

That's not you?

Thanks ChiKat,

I think I might look into it.

Sometimes you can taste the corn in the popcorn more than others. Good times, good times.

I think leaving my laundry unwashed all that time gave it a chance to breed. I'm about to iron a pink button down shirt I'm not sure I've seen before. But the breeding seems to have gone true to size so I'm going to act like there's nothing amiss and do tomorrow's site walkthrough in this new progeny.

That was a helluva game. Triple overtime. Marc-Andre Fleury was the reason the Penguins won. Fifty-some shots and he stopped all but three. Otherwise Detroit dominated for the majority of the game.

Truly, I just want to see the Penguins lose. I'm tired of the "Sidney Crosby is the golden child of the NHL" mantra. There are other exciting--and more well-rounded players--out there. Like Alex Ovechkin and Mike Richards for example. Therefore I will continue to cheer loudly for the Red Wings.

The Federer/Belleteau match was pretty good too, considering. I understand there may have been basketball, but I dismember. It's probably best for Detroit that the Celtics beat the Pistons, since otherwise it'd be way distracting.

I think I may have scratched my cornea. This means I've got to go to an eye doctor, doesn't it? Or will the student health center doctor be able to deal with this?

(Not quite sure how it happened, but the past few days, every time I put my right contact in, it felt like there was an eyelash or something stuck under the side of it, even though I rinsed it a bunch of times and there wasn't anything there. And now, I took my contacts out hours ago, and it's still hurting and red and watery.)

Happy to say I've had beers 1, 5, 6, and 10 on that best beer names list. Yummy.
