In the style of PuckHuffers* ( and the other girls who love blingees)
I got up this morning and thought.... man, I wanna make a blingee!
I've been hearing things about this Blingee fascination, and I loved looking at the ones that have been posted. So I went through my photos from the April 1st game (there are like a million! LOL, ok, not that many...) and found one of my favorites* Than I signed up for an account and went at it! Oh Mr. Kennedy, you make my heart do little flips* :)
Make custom Glitter Graphics
I know I promised photos of flowers, but really... isn't this just a little more important?? :D
Pens play at 3 today on NBC... Today is the day!
In the words of Malcom S. Forbes, "Victory is sweetest when you've known defeat." Today shall be a great day! The sun is shining here in CF, I'm going shopping before the game, and I had the most amazing toaster waffles in the world! All things are pointing towards a win!!
And as a final note:
“Victory at all costs, victory in spite of all terror, victory however long and hard the road may be; for without victory there is no survival.”
-- Winston Churchill

Wake up and smell the flowers*
So Katie and I went to Home Depot today to get some flowers to put around our apartment, and I was so interested in them that I grabbed my phone and started snapping photos* This was the first shot that I took and I think it turned out awesome, especially since it was taken with a CELL PHONE! Yeah!
Well, that's all that's really important right now* (Oh, and the picis copyrighted with an embedded watermark, so don't mess with it without my permission ok?) I'll put up some images of our newly planted flora tomorrow, and I'm hoping to get the first chapter of my story up, maybe*
Night everyone*

Why do the NHL playoffs rule? Facial hair and ice, of course
Tom Gallick
Issue date: 4/22/09 Section: Sports
When it comes right down to it, hockey and basketball are pretty similar. Two teams play offense and defense to try to get either a ball or puck in a net for points. So what variable makes the NHL playoffs - and hockey in general- more fun than the NBA playoffs? Ice. Ice makes anything more fun. And if you don't believe me, go ask your little siblings if they would rather watch a DVD of "Aladdin" or "Disney on Ice." Just don't be surprised when you're sitting in an ice arena watching a guy dressed as Goofy doing a triple axel.Beyond the obvious point that ice equals excitement, the NHL playoffs trump postseason basketball thanks to the unpredictability factor. Going into the NBA playoffs, anyone who watched two games all year can probably predict who will play for the championship trophy. Nobody, and I mean nobody, picked against the Celtics and Lakers last season. They were the two best teams all season, plus their renewed rivalry would be good for the league (cough). On the other hand, in the screwy-but-entertaining NHL playoffs, any team with a streaky goalie can make it all the way to the finals. Nobody predicted that Cam Ward would lead the Carolina Hurricanes to the championship in the 2005-2006 season (and not just because the thought of a team in Carolina made every hockey fan shudder), but that's part of the fun.On the plus side for basketball, LeBron James was the big story this year, so expect him to drag the Cavs along to the NBA Finals against the Lakers and suck any drama or surprise out of the proceedings.The first rounds of the hockey playoffs are generally contentious, unlike basketball. The team with the most points in the regular season, San Jose, is in serious trouble, down 2-0 in a series against Anaheim.No one in the hockey world is really even shocked by this development, while every basketball analyst freaked out in 2007 when the No. 8-seeded Golden State Warriors bested the top-ranked Dallas Mavericks in the first round. My feeling is the No. 1-seeded Cavaliers and Lakers are probably pretty safe this season. Hockey is also unmatched in the area of playoff traditions. The superstitious practice of growing a playoff beard is one of the best in the history of the sport and has even spread to other leagues. The best playoff tradition in the NBA playoffs: one of the Van Gundy brothers repeatedly freaking out.And another thing - the basketball playoffs are on TNT while the NHL has a sweetheart deal with Versus, so they're like your little secret if you actually get Versus.If I had to boil it down to one solid reason though, I have to return to my original argument: ice. It's slippery, it looks cool and there's always the chance someone could fall.Put LeBron James on some ice skates and have him salchow into a slam dunk, and then the NBA playoffs will pass the NHL playoffs in excitement. Until that day, I'll look to the ice for my springtime sports entertainment.Contact assistant sports editor Thomas Gallick at tgallick@kent.edu.

Dear NHL... I'm angry at you!
So, I got really tickd off since the ONLY playoff series I wanted to see was the Pens and it was the ONLY one that was being blacked out on Versus. I called them, and they told me to talk to my cable provider. So I called Time Warner and was pretty much blown off, and told that because I wasn't in the Pittsburgh area I was SOL! WHAT?! Are you kidding me?? And they said that it was up to the NHL, so here is the letter that my roommate and I came up with in response... The best part is that 1. She's a high school English teacher and 2. She's not even a crazed hockey fan! But even she was pissed! Enjoy!!
To whom it may concern. I'm writing to inform you of my displeasure in finding that for some unknown reason, I am unable to watch my favorite hockey team, the Pittsburgh Penguins, play their playoff games. I have contacted both my local cable company as well as the channel that is hosting the playoff series (Versus), and have been disappointed to find that no one has been able to explain to me why this, and only this, playoff series is being blacked out. All I have been able to find out is that it is a decision coming from the National Hockey League itself. Because I do not live in the greater Pittsburgh area, I am unable to receive the ONLY channel (FSN-Pittsburgh) that seems to be showing this series. I know that I cannot be the only person that is OUTRAGED at this slight!!! I can only imagine the amount of potential advertising and the large viewer base that you are purposefully neglecting. I certainly hope that in the near future you will realize your egregious mistake and correct it with all haste.
Like it? I doubt I'll get a response or anything, and I'm glad that FSN-P gets to show it... but come on... I wanna be able to SEE THE EFFING GAMES!
