FOUR minutes of ads at the front of the Tarzan DVD... which you CANNOT skip past! Ridiculous. Disney really doesn't get it.

I've narrowed the list of teams I really want to win the Stanley Cup to two.

The Edmonton Oilers (of course)
Whichever team Ray Bourque is a member of on March 15th.

And if the Oilers should happen to meet that team in the finals? Well... I'm still probably rooting for the Oilers, but I'd feel bad about doing it!

Robert points to ThinkFree Office today. I signed up... it definitely has potential. It couldn't read my .doc files like it ought to be able to, so I hope it improves!

I don't have a DVD component for my "home theater" (cough) yet. Why? I'm waiting for the PS2! (No, not the PS/2, silly...)

And I definitely have to wait. But mark my words, the wait will be worth it!

I have to take back the comments I made earlier today about cheering for whatever team Ray Bourque goes to. I just heard he's been traded to Colorado! (BTW, I've beaten SLAM! Hockey and CNN/SI to this news)

Since Colorado is in the same division Edmonton is, they'd have to get through Edmonton (theoretically) to win the Stanley Cup. I was certain he'd be traded to a team in the Eastern Conference, where the Oilers could (theoretically ) meet them in the finals. Well... sorry Raymond, but until the Oilers are out of the playoffs, I'm cheering for them. But if the Oilers lose, even by the hands of the Avalanche, I'll cheer for Colorado. But just this once!

Update: I beat CNN/SI by only about 2 minutes

Who does George W. Bush think Jean Poutine is?

Don't know what poutine is? Here's a description from a fellow who went to the same university I went to.

Note that not everyone agrees with that description. They're right too! I can get poutine at a number of places in Victoria... which is just about as far away from Quebec as you can get in Canada. A&W and New York Fries sell poutine, for example.

I can't believe A&W Canada doesn't have a website! And A&W America's (a different company altogether, apparently) site is completely targetted to franchisers rather than customers.
