As Promised...

Slight amounts of hockey present in this post... But you'll have to translate. Muahaha.

我們在中文課，所以我寫中文。
We are in Chinese Class, so I am writing in Chinese.

Random Musings... Warning, little to no hockey in this post

1. This blog needs a new name. I'm sick and tired of having a blog with the same name as eleventy kadillion* other blogs. If other people actually read this, I would open up the table for discussion on a new name, but other people don't actually read this, so I'll just have to be creative all on my own.

The teal also bugs me for some reason. Red, white, and blue would look better, but I want the blog to maintain some Sharks pride.

2. Hey, the Winter X Games just concluded pretty recently, eh? Two main ideas to come from this; Louie Vito and the Moore brothers. I don't watch a ton of snowboarding or snowmobiling, but I do enjoy skiing and other snow sports, I love the ski culture, and I always enjoy watching the X Games each winter. It's an atmosphere you don't quite get anywhere else- local competitions aren't that exciting, and the Olympics are more uptight. Basically, the X Games are cool, and this year, I saw a couple of awesome things.

My Classmates' Views on Hockey... With Commentary by Sarah

The Sharks beat the Kings, the currently-fantastic Kings, and don't even get a mention on NHL.com. Besides the two goal oddity. But that doesn't count.

Also, what's up with Colin Campbell? Nothing, the NHL will make sure of that. The NHL Exec.s are disgusting.

I am in chinese class. Sarah is being awesome. (Sarah is dictating). Except she doesn't understand hockey.

Terrible. No one in this class understands hockey. No one in this school understands hockey. But people do know a fear things about hockey. Here's some of the stuff they know...

Sarah: "Hockey is played one ice! With ice skates! There's a puck. And sticks. And the sticks are phallic symbols. The point is to whack the puck in the other team's goal with your stick."

Suzie: "Hockey is violent. And they have a cool Shark as a mascot. It's really awesome. They crash into walls."

Sarah: "They crash into each other. Rawr."

Claire: "Hockey is a sport that has the Sharks in it and um it's there's a lot of fighting, but I hear it is fun to watch, most of the time."

Sarah: "It's fun to watch when they fall on each other."

Martha: "Um it's really fun to watch."

Sarah: "See above comment." (by which Sarah means above above from this one)

Shifrah: "A very violent sport."

Sarah: "Violence is in the eye of the beholder."

Amanda: "Hockey is a sport with bearded dudes."

Sarah: "Beards are sexy. Especially if you are Ke$ha. And you have a beard fetish. I do not have a beard fetish."

Yup. This is what I deal with on a day to day basis.
