• “Hoppípolla” (Sigur Rós) is the new “Lux Aeterna” (Clint Mansell/Kronos Quartet) of movie commercials/trailers. #
• I’ve had a Wii for a year and it’s still weird to me. Prior to that, I hadn’t had a game system since the original Nintendo. #

06/04/04(1030am)-
“Toddler”

A thousand smiles
A thousand frowns
The faces seen
When feeling down
The homeless on
The street have turned
The pot and booze
“The Main” has spurned
Not high life, nor low life
Nor the masses in between
In the doubling of tongues
Drunken debauchery I have been
For imponderables plague
The pain and strife
Of the joie de vivre
The joys of life
From Sainte Catherine East
To Maisonneuve West
Succumb every day
To the ultimate tests
While the spotlight revolves
Pierce the blackness of night
In alerting the planes
That might be aflight
That I frequent this walk
On a daily basis
Take note of the people
In all of these places
As the day breaks teach
The intricacies to live
Like a speck in the sand
That is tossed in a sieve
For the world has a way
Of baring it all
And the place I grew up
Has become Montreal

• Now that the #Habs season is over, I may have enough time to be a proper #Arsenal fan again. (Cant multitask sports — hockey comes first) #
• I like getting @ replies. in TweetDeck. I don’t get them nearly enough though. #
• I’m 10 months away from failing the goal I set 6 years ago to be living/working as a Canadian citizen in Vancouver by the 2010 Olympics. #
• RT @TheDailyHab_it: Latest #habs post – Could that have been Price’s last game as a Hab?: I’m just wondering,bec.. http://tinyurl.com/c86wsd #
• As we learned from Seinfeld though (ref: the “Newmanniun” vs. “Kramennium”), the Centennial season is actually *next* year. #
• RT @tracyxlee: Don’t think this changes anything everyone- Montreal will always be my number 1 team.. I’m in it for the ups AND the downs #
• What’s a shame is that the weight of the season really rested on Andrei Markov. His absence in the playoffs has been duly felt. #habs #
• It’s easy to read why the Habs are Montreal; you can see it when you go to a game there. But *living* it is completely different. #habs #
• Also, if you haven’t *lived* in Montreal, it’s actually harder to grasp the interlocking of the team with the community. It’s no joke. #habs #
• As a friend from NHL Gamecenter said: Well, you’ve quit months after the team, so kudos, haha. #habs #
• RT @brirob9: And that’s about it. Over 80 games watched for this. #
• Puttin on my Canucks jersey now…. #habs #
• Even if they can overcome a two-goal deficit to win the game, they’re still not showing they can move to Rd. 2. Why bother? #habs #
• I’m turning the game off. No point watching the rest of this game, at this point. That’s for the Centennial season. #habs #
• I do *not* understand why Ryder was ever let go of the team #habs #
• Since December, this team gave up on a Cup. And it clearly shows against Boston. #habs #
• There’s the Habs will to lose #habs #
• No No No No No, stop taking stupid penalties #habs #
• You know roughing/holding calls are bullshit calls 9 times out of 10 #habs #
• Excellent assist by koivu #HABS #
• AK46 BOOYAKASHA! #
• Do or die now… #
• GO #HABS GO GO #HABS GO GO #HABS GO GO #HABS GO #
• If R-O-L-A-I-D-S spells relief, then S-P-E-N-C-E-R spells Dr. Awesome. #
• It’s 320pm and I’m just about to finally leave the apartment. I need school to start. #
• Same guys, new year. http://is.gd/tW7y @sabotek: My fav ‘Go Habs Go’ song from last year #habs #
• RT @sabotek: Hey Habs fans get in the mood for tonight’s game. My fav ‘Go Habs Go’ song from last year: http://tinyurl.com/cra25b #habs #
• If the #Habs win tonight, it’s because I didn’t wear mon chandail today. (What, you fellow Anglos think “jersey” sounds better?) #
• Surprise switch: Gainey starts Halak… threw everyone on the Bruins off. #
• Lest the twitterverse forget, Lucic’s one-game suspension is over… let the goonery resume. #nhl #habs #
