CHI/BUF, CAR/CLE, TB/NO, TEN/IND, WAS/NYG, KC/AZ, JAX/NYJ, PHI/DAL *sigh* Just my luck. Barely lost.

Well, customer service from Yahoo actually amazingly got back to me. More impressive considering I don't recall how I got ahold of the right place (I think I lucked out). As far as the CSR tells me, I probably hit the back button to fix something which would've reseted some of the fields to the originals, and CSR says that sometimes can happen depending on your browser specifications. ...which is total bullshit, but basically we're stuck with it. Sorry gang. And the next Oilers game is on the 12th. Yeesh... A long wait for the next hockey game. I'm kinda pissed we lost to Calgary when we should've kicked their asses a second time, but what can you do?

I think Youtube was probably invented with the idea that some big company like Google would buy them out for millions. Or in this case, billions. Only reason why I could see them do this. ...how they managed to survive, is what I'm wondering.

Um... Your guess is as good as mine? I thought I wasn't setting my lineups quickly enough, but now that I look at it, says weekly. Weird, I set it up as daily during the initialization. Shit, I'll look into seeing if I can get this fixed, but likely we're stuck with it as weekly.

Shipping date infers that there could be a new release date. Dammit, stick to the damn date. I'm not going to have enough money to buy a Wii just yet. I will in November.

Yup, it is a sweet way to wrap up the series. Actually, I find it more interesting they actually ended it with . And Negima!? was just fansubbed by Mahora. While they are new, and the quality of the sub isn't the greatest, I enjoyed it. Much better than the original. But wow, a lot of things are different. These are spoilers about the first episode. Please read at your own risk: Overall I was highly impressed. Best looking anime I've seen, from screencaps to actual stuff. Might need to bring my Setsuna banner out from retirement again.

- Good on Death Note. Negima should be an interesting watch, is the Martial Arts Tournament going to happen in this show? As for Buso Renkin, it's by Nobuhiro Watsuki(who wrote Ruruoni Kenshin), and is set in a Japanese middle school(?). The main character has a dream about fighting and getting killed by a monster only to find out it actually happened and that the girl he "saved" was an alchemist who brought him back to life by replacing his destroyed heart with some pendant thing(I forgot what it was called) that acts like his heart to keep him alive. She tells him about the war between alchemists and homonuclei(same name as the 7 Sins from FMA) and that if his weapon is broken(the pendant, which turns into a spear) that he'll die. Hope that was somewhat informative as I wrote it completely from memory of reading the first chapter in Shounen Jump. Death Note I'm kinda looking at that I should watch. More I'm reading about it, seems more like something I should be picking up. As for Negima!?, I'm not sure. As far I as I know, Negima!? is akin to what the anime Mai-Hime is to its anime. Same characters, yet altered storyline. As Evangeline is brought out right away in the very first episode, making her a main character when she didn't get made a main character till like Volume 3 (which if this show was done manga style, episode 10ish). So I don't know if we'll see the Martial Arts tourney. I'm also a little bit interested in what apparently is a braclet that Negi has on that supposedly the Thousand Master, Nagi, had. Its not in the manga, so its anime only (I think, never know...) and so we'll likely see it play on that. BTW, the animation group is done by the same people that did Poni Poni Dash!, I think its called. So Buso Renkin might have ties to FMA? Hm... I might hafta watch that then, because I'm liking FMA a lot. Right now in Volume 10 (I think), during the Mahora Festival, Chao Linseng buys up all the small fighting tournaments and creates a super martial arts tourney that allows anyone to use any and all of their powers. She also mentions that this super tourney was last held in Mahora 25 years ago and the last winner was Nagi Springfield, the Thousand Master. Although, right now in the current storyline (as in up to date in Japan), Chao is trying to expose magic to the world using the World Tree(Yggdrasil, basically)'s magic which will cause anarchy and chaos for 10 years before peace. There's also some time travel, some dating, some magic pactios, cosplay, more fights, and some magical girl stuff going on right now, but that's just the fun of it. Wee... I converted another one. And yes, everything was amazingly done. If you want to take a gander at how well things were done. During Episode 11 (which I believe is the one where Haruhi does her "consert"), you'll notice the group of ENOZ running around trying to make sure their concert still takes off, and gathering people to play. You'll also notice little hints about things to come and go during each episode (like the 4 computers during I believe episode 9). Too bad we'll never see a second season. Reason I say this, is it will never live up to the hype and overwhelming boom of worship it has. Although, I wish I knew someone like Haruhi. I mean, I can understand why Kyon hangs around with her. Life is never boring.

Well, just watched the first episode of Kanon - KyoAni's Rendition. Even though I don't recall the original, I definitely find this first episode a hell of a lot more entertaining the original. Also, I forgot how much I liked Ayu's uguu sound. Now if only some group would sub Negima!? so I could get my Negima goodness.

I bet that match is a ***** classic in the making! ...and for some reason, I can say that with a smile and be serious. Must be because Kevin Nash could probably sell it to us that is was one and we'd believe it.

That's pretty much what I'd do. Win gets you points, losses don't. I don't understand this getting to OT or SO just to gain a point which some teams play for.

I've always been telling myself I should've bought Shadow of the Colossus and lamented that I never have. Howver, I just found a brand spanking new copy in my house. Everyone says I've had it for months, yet I never remember picking this up ever.

My favorite blogger, Omni, has said Death Note is just as dark and broody as its manga and apparently Negima is not only the best looking and action paced (which is different, considering Negima manga is more drama/character), but I've heard nothing so far about Buso Renkin. What's it about?

Yup, that was no joke. However they let in 6 goals, so that's not nessarily a good thing that they needed 8 goals to win the game.

SF - 17 Buffalo Cleveland Minnesota (6.5) New England (10.5) Green Bay New Orleans (6.5) Indianapolis (18.5) N.Y. Giants (4.5) Arizona N.Y. Jets San Francisco (3.5) Dallas San Diego (3.5) Baltimore

Probably because ... actually, you know what, why the hell do you? Chicago's run was unrememberable that year. Am I the only person who wishes to take back all the things they said about Sykora? 2 goals and 1 assist, and kept coming back for more with Hemsky just feeding him the puck. And what the hell was up with Hemsky? I've never seen him play like he did last seaosn where he was in full flight nearly all game longl. He's like a demon all the sudden, it was unreal. Oh, and damn Iginla for breaking the shutout for Rollie. Actually, I should be blaming Smid since he blew the defense, but couldn't Iggy have botched the shot like he did the penalty shot? I so can't wait for Round 2 of the Battle of Alberta on Saturday. The sparks were just flying with 5.4 seconds left as everyone started taking out frustrations (more Flames than Oilers), so Game 2 in Calgary shall be even better I think. Edit: For the record concerning Fleury, he got to see most of his shots, but still he saved 40 so I don't think he got lucky and might've actually gotten his Junior form to NHL form finally.

Dear God, Petr Sykora has 2 goals already. And we've had 5 scoring chances on just 7 shots. Someone look out for the goal hunters known as the Oilers.

Well, reviews I hear concerning Death Note make me wanna watch it. Guy who gets a book that can kill people, and thinks he'll make himself as a God is kind of an interesting plotline. And apparently Negima!? is very action orientated and taking some huge liberties on the plot, which I knew going in, but its kinda cool to hear how some of the things are different. Can't wait to see more.

I'm sorry, but I agree with bps about Carolina. I'm not bitter about the loss in the Finals, considering we weren't supposed to be there, but you hafta admit that Carolina didn't really play like a Championship team in those two series. A championship team would've crushed a "weakened" Sabres and a "goaltender screwed" Oilers. And really, they only won because they remained healthy when you got down to it. Not because they were superior, hence why they won't repeat. They'll be good, but no repeat in the making for them. Battle of Alberta begins anew tonight! Round 1 is gonna happen, and I'm so hoping I get to see all of it (work till like 6pm, so I don't know if I'll make it home on time).

Leena, they are doing this so the playoffs aren't gonna be overshadowed by anything supposedly.

v_v Sucky, my boys don't play till Thursday. On CBC... Aw fuck, not Neale and Cole, dear God no!!! And apparently we've got Lupul signed. Funny, never knew he got signed.

Dammit Slayer, in English so I can understand you. ...ahem... Continuing on! So you have a clubhouse brawl, you signed a .500 pitcher for billions, and your team only gets to brag that you didn't end up in third. But that all doesn't matter! Watching the playoffs will make all that pain go away.

Hmph. My division blows. But still, at least I can make a comeback.

I'd laugh if the Titans some how beat Indy. Sure, it isn't happening, but I'd find it humorous nevertheless.

MiB, we'll be subjected to that unless the Yankees win. And frankly, I'd rather enjoy watching the people of New York cry in tears that the Yankees fail again.

Eh? Are you playing the demo Misawa or the actual game? Because a few of the reviews I've read say the game doesn't really tell you much. BTW, Famitsu gave it 40, so this game must be really good.
