while I'm on the subject...

I'm sorry, I don't mean to flood the Latest queue with postings, but I just want to get this out while I'm thinking about it.

My favorite hockey teams

1. Toronto Maple Leafs
2. Tampa Bay Lightning
3. Philadelphia Flyers, Nashville Predators, Ottawa Senators, Carolina Hurricanes (tie)
7. Buffalo Sabres
8. Detroit Red Wings

Honorable mentions for the Penguins, the Caps, the Sharks, the Ducks, and the Oilers... if they get Ryan Smyth back.

Hockey teams I love to hate (in no particular order)

Vancouver Canucks, Calgary Flames, New Jersey Devils, Colorado Avalanche (I hate the team, but love some of their players), Florida Panthers (my new hometown team - feh). Oh, oh, and the Atlanta Thrashers. Man, they bug me.

There is no rhyme or reason to my dislike of most of these teams.

Ok, that's all I have to say for now (aren't you glad?).

hockey in the B'lo

Ok, I'm posting, 'cause I'm sick of having that <10 blogs thing on my userpic.

What'd y'all think about the Sabres this year? My husband is convinced they're going to the Cup finals. I am not so sure, but even if they are, if they're playing Nashville, I'm going to have to root against them again. Sorry.

I want to like the Sabres, but I just keep running up against little things that kind of annoy me about them. I will say this, tho' - Ryan Miller has been great for my fantasy hockey team this year. Hasek posts better numbers, when he plays, but he is old and creaky and therefore does not see nearly as much ice time as Miller (and Hasek's hurt right now, anyway, which is why I am trying to get rid of him).

Of course, now that it is almost fantasy-playoffs-time, and I'm counting on him more than ever, I get something like this from Miller:
Argh. I know it's not all his fault, but man. They're going to have to do better if they really want to be in that Cup final this year.

I'm also mad that I didn't grab Paul Stastny while he was still free in our league, but that is a post for another time.

Everyone else is doing it, so why not?

I mean the iTunes shuffle soundtrack to your life thing. I got it from (e:carolinian,42) who got it from some other (e:peep), I think. But it's going around everywhere, no?

Anyway. Mine came out way fucked up. Witness:

[list]
Opening Credits: "What Is Love?" - Deee-Lite

Waking Up: "Like Humans Do" - David Byrne

First Day At School: "The Crying Game" - Boy George (I didn't even remember I had this song in my iTunes)

Falling In Love: "No Fgcnuik" - Nomeansno

Breaking Up: "The Upper Peninsula" - Sufjan Stevens

Prom: "Girls on Film" - Wesley Willis

Life's Ok: "R U Together" - They Might Be Giants (This is from the CD which accompanied McSweeney's Issue #6, if you're wondering)

Mental Breakdown: "Fat Albert Theme" - Dig

Driving: "The Man in the Iron Mask" - Billy Bragg (Oddly enough, I do often listen to this song while I'm driving)

Flashback: "There Is Life Outside Your Apartment" - Avenue Q Original Broadway Cast

Getting Back Together: "Maybe Tonight" - The Shirelles

Birth of Child: "Waiting for Heaven" - The Blake Babies

Wedding Scene: "Goodbye Song" - The Moldy Peaches

Final Battle: "Listen to My Heart" - The Ramones

Death Scene: "Surferdyke Pal" - Phranc

Funeral Song: "Sweet Little Hi-Fi" - Pussy Galore (I didn't remember I had this song, either)

End Credits: "The Courtroom-Scene III: 'Police Constable Pan Am'" - Monty Python
[/list]

So, yeah. Way fucked up.

howdy, y'all

So, hi there. My name is Liz and I joined this site not because I live in Buffalo, but because my friend Carolinian is on here, and I wanted to be able to leave comments on his journal entries. That's about it, really.

I was gonna go with Virginian for my username, to copy his Carolinian thing (since I am from Virginia), but he convinced me to go with Lizabeth instead, so when anyone links to me it'll show up as (e:lizabeth), which is just funny.

What else? Well, I'm going to be moving out of NY soon (December), but I'm sure I'll make it to Buffalo at least once before I do. I will at least be in town for Carolinian's birthday, which is November 17th, so we should totally do a big party then. I wanna see him get drunk and act silly. ;)

And now, a picture of an alpaca for you:

Because alpacas rule.
