Bits

I'm REALLY feeling bitchy today--and I don't know why. I hope it isn't because I know I'm not going to get another hockey fix for three months--that would just be TOO sad! :) Anyway, I had to stop myself from starting a fight with K earlier. He asked what I was going to do today and I swallowed my answer: "NOTHING--just like YOU!!!" Yup, THAT would have started a good one--MANY days of silence. :D

Ending up on hockey notes:

--Lidstrom and Osgood will be on The Tonight Show on Tuesday! I wish more players would be there, but I'm sure most of them are going home--to Europe. They will, of course, be bringing the Cup for its appearance.

--It finally was revealed what was wrong with Franzen in the playoffs: he had a subdural hematoma. Scary stuff! And it makes it even THAT much more horrifying that the Penguin player gave him a shot in the head. It was bad enough to be hitting someone in the head who everyone thought had had a concussion, but THIS is much more frightening stuff. If Franzen would have walked away after that, I certainly wouldn't have blamed him--I probably would have.

I just finished reading 'Requiem For A Dream' by Hubert Selby, Jr. While it was an interesting read, all I could think was, "I did this in high school--and I am SO OVER heroin addict stories!" And if I read ONE MORE book by an author who thinks it is fun to write without punctuation, I. WILL. PUKE!!!

Verrrrryyyyyy slowwwwwwllllllyyyyyyy the summer TV series are beginning. Tonight is the second episode of 'In Plain Sight'--and I have high hopes for it. I enjoyed the premiere well enough--I think it just needs to get going a little more. What I'm REALLY waiting for are 'Burn Notice', 'The Closer', and 'Eureka. That will help the summer go faster.

Has anyone else noticed just how bad some of the things are on QVC? When QVC first started, I thought it was fantastic, but things are definitely changing. First, I wouldn't buy one of the computers they sell. For what I want and need, they are VASTLY underpowered--despite what they try telling people. I guess for someone who doesn't know any better, they are okay, but still. And just WHAT is going on with the Joan River's jewelry collection? Did someone think this was a good idea? I mean, really, a stretch-band on a watch!?!?!?!? Would someone REALLY buy THIS? Enough said.
