The Devil Plays Hockey and other Unnatural acts


Weather seems to have gotten me down – maybe it’s the damn damp getting into my bones or something – maybe it’s just allergies maybe it’s just November getting to me. (Not one of my favorite times of year this late fall, to bare and too bleak without the promise of spring coming.

But life goes and a quick glance at the sports pages had this shoot out at me.

“For the third straight game, Satan scored the winning goal, and the New York Islanders denied Devils goalie Martin Brodeur his 500th NHL victory with a 2-1 win over New Jersey on Saturday night.

"It's the way it's going," Satan said. "It's pointless to analyze it. I'm just glad to help the team." “ – AP 11/11/07

Turns out the Islanders have a player from Russian with the unfortunate surname of Satan – his full name is Miroslav Satan to be exact. I think I need to keep track of the Islanders for this year – if for no other reason that on the chance once in a lifetime berserk headlines like “Red Hot Satan Scores Hat Trick” will cross the transom.

Makes life worth living one must say.

The other thing of course – this man should be playing on the Devils yes?

No real feedback on the new songs – come one people where’s the damn love? And fame seems somewhat reluctant to knock at our door just yet – still it’s only been a little while since we started this push so I need to be look long term.

Which may be a problem for me – I’m more impulsive that I care to admit so long term planning isn’t one of my strong points. But since I’m not alone in this – that’s not really going to be a problem for the band as a whole – we all have things we bring to the table.

Watching The She Creature at Home – started it last night and nodded off so I’m going to have to go back and start again.

Its one of those films made in the 50’s about creepy hypnotists – and in the 50’s since the Hayes code was still in force – (if you ever wondered why married couples in the movies had separate beds thank the dirty minds of the Hayes Code folks – that and switching away from the action just at the romantic leads were just about to get on with it) instead of using their unholy mind powers to seduce hot women (and really what sane man would work to get unholy mind powers if it wasn’t going to use it to seduce hot women – not that I’m endorsing the acquiring of unholy mind powers for any reason – even seducing women) but these guys aren’t too normal and well this one is somehow projecting his subject back in time through various re-incarnations. Including the title She-Creature which doesn’t really show up that much. It is rather confusing in that – we’re missing pages of script here manner of cheap 50’s shockers – which combined with being a bit beat lead to nodding off before the end. Which I assume means the bad guy gets his in a bad way probably at the hands of the She Creature.

Just noted via pandagon – and what’s in the water in Sioux Falls -

“ A Sioux Falls man caught in the Washington Pavilion having simulated sex with a mannequin didn't commit a crime of indecent exposure, the state Supreme Court says.”

Apparently the deal is that Mr. Happy wasn’t visible so no indecent exposure.

Still the phrase get a room comes to mind.

Other thoughts when the brain is more up to par.

Peace, Love, no, no luggage, just the mannequin
