my eyes and my jaw hurt right now. after days of waiting, I think that we are finally going to get the thunderstorm that everyone else has been getting. the weird pressure is really messing with my head right now.

A couple of news items to distract myself from my headache:

1. Hockey Night in Canada - can you believe all of the hullabaloo about this. I love that Stompin' Tom has offered up "the Hockey Song" to them. I think that the CBC should scrap the contest and give Tom the $100K prize money. He deserves it!!

2. Hate Crimes - I was disgusted to learn that I live in the city with the second highest rate of hate crimes in the country.

3. How do you solve a problem like slumping ratings - if you like the Sound of Music (and who doesn't!?) and you like to watch tv singing contests, this just may be for you. I know I'll be watching!!

yet another reason why I hate hockey

CRAP!!!

I bought tickets to this show literally seconds after they went on sale.

We had tickets to two Roger shows in September which just happened to be the week that Joe died so we couldn't use our tickets (for Toronto and Montreal).

We have floor seats for this Ottawa show. Mark also has tickets for Toronto.

Seriously, I hate hockey on a good day, with a white hot passion. This is making me sick to my stomach (honestly - not exaggerating here).

crap on a stick!
