Note to self:

Never, ever, ever, under any circumstance–not even under pain of death by a stampeding herd of yaks–should you ever leave a bar packed full of hockey fans when your Buffalo Sabres are down by “only” three goals.

Sabres 5, Bruins 4 (SO)…oh, how sweet it is.

Wrestling with Demons

NANOBOTS!

Confessing for one’s sins is the overriding thematic element in Lost’s latest episode, though exactly what sins one must confess for comes into question by the end of tonight’s show. An unrepentant Eko, when finally taking the chance to confess his sins to his “brother,” instead clings to the belief that he did what he had to do to survive and is proud of the choices he was forced to make in the life “he was given.”

The Lonely End of the Rink

I looked up and you were there
just sitting there all alone
holding your fist in the air
like, if you need me you’re on your own

You drove me home through a snowy tomb
I fell asleep in my seat
I had the dream of having no room
you were there just staring at me

At the lonely end of the rink, you and me
At the lonely end of the rink, you and me

Oh to join the rush
as the season builds

I hear your voice ‘cross a frozen lake
a voice from the end of a leaf
saying, ‘you won’t die of a thousand fakes
or be beaten by the sweetest of dekes’

At the lonely end of the rink, you and me
At the lonely end of the rink, you and me
At the lonely end of the rink, you and me
At the lonely end of the rink, the lonely end of the rink

Oh to join the rush
as the season builds
Jump into the rush
as the seasons build

You drove me home through a snowy gloom
and I fell asleep in my seat
then I had the dream of having no room
you were there just staring at me

At the lonely end of the rink, you and me
At the lonely end of the rink, you and me
At the lonely end of the rink, you and me
At the lonely end of the rink, the lonely end of the rink.
