Hey, how's it going everyone?

Hopefully better than my poopacular week. How's this for poopty

The fiance, Blair, has Strep Throat.

Monday night the van was acting up. The battery light was coming on and I had almost NO power. I thought it was just from the cold, but then it did it again Tuesday night and Wednesday night. So we took a look at it and the general consensus between my dad, friend, and dad's friends is that the alternator is about to go...few hundred bucks I don't have.

Then last night Blair's macbook laptop fell off the counter and smashed and is unrecognizable.

Then for the last little bit her cell phone had been acting up and all of the sudden it went kaputz and of course isn't under warranty anymore and there's still 1 year left on her contract and we can't afford a new cell phone.

Then last night I drove home from work and saw that the snow plow guy didn't come and plow our apartment parking lot so I couldn't park in my spot because the snow was up to my bumper. So I parked on the road assuming he'd come soon since it had stopped snowing a few hours prior to it. Well, around midnight, he hadn't come yet. So we went to bed. Got woken up by the cat this morning, went into the kitchen, looked out the window, and my van is no longer sitting on the road. So I FREAK and walk to the police station which is just up the street. Turns out it was towed for being left on the street over night. Cost me $129.75 to get it back...money I DO NOT HAVE to spend on that. I just got paid today but it'll be barely enough to cover bills and groceries as it is since Blair hasn't been getting a lot of hours at work. So I'm going to try and get the landlord to reimburse me since it's their responsibility to have the place plowed and I got towed because I couldn't park there. But chances are he'll refuse since he's a bit of a slum lord.

Then I get into work today and everything's going alright. Pre-record a bit about American Idol using a phone call interview with my grandmother (our American Idol Expert). I start editing the call and the computer restarts. So I have to call her back and re-do. So this time I save it before I do any editing, and it's a good thing I did, because the computer restarted itself 3 more times. I finally get it finished and have to pre-record a show for another station. Start doing that and the program was causing me problems in BOTH studios I tried to use. It would start recording than after about 20 seconds it would just stop on it's own. Eventually it worked.

Oh, and I still haven't eaten lunch.

Well, I burnt my tongue and stubbed my toe yesterday, so I think we are in the same boat.

anderson is burning out.. i firmyly believe it.. if he plays vs the isles the leafs game will be game 50 for him

he's getting too much ice time.. murray needs to find himself a competent back up and soon

- Dozzer


isn't that essentially what happened last year as well? at some point - a little while after the trade his play went down hill, and I believe the same happened with him during his tenure in Colorado... which was essentially why he was shipped out.

its not like the Senators are a defensive juggernaut... I think they've given up the most goals in the NHL ... more than the Leafs... the question is whether the Leafs can continue to stay out of the penalty box, and get some timely goal tending themselves.

yup.. if the leafs goalies can continue playing stable hockey they dont need to be spectacular.. but i think the key is staying out of the box.. they are playing very disciplined hockey right now for a young team and that bodes well for the future.. good habits instilled in young players generally follow them throughout their career

Flip a coin between these two teams really ,we could go on a tear or fall completely .The sens while mired in a 4 game slump played well enough to beat the bruins ,and the other three loses happend against some pretty decent teams on our longest west coast swing ,6 games in 9 nights .

The leafs won two against the ilses and split a series with pittsburg ,Both teams can take out most marginal teams in the east ,its the bigger teams in the league that we both are no match against.

Decent effort by the team. If you told me they were going to get 3 out of 4 points against pitt before the two game series...i would be happy. I think we need to move past the blown lead in the first game. Young teams make those mistakes. Let's see if they can learn from that game down the stretch.

Hope BB lays off the gas a bit this deadline and just roles with what we have for the rest of the season.
