Is Hot Today

Though I guess it didn't help my heat venting systems by wearing a big thick hockey jersey - damn the Red theme (for being 'Reddy/Ready' on the phones) of the week. And all I got was a chocolate LOL - now if red was a more popular colour in the scheme of my wardrobe, but most of my red is sports tops :)



I was wearing Team Canada hockey and Sharon was wearing Red Wings (though the home shirt - home is white isn't it?), too bad they are on strike this year. Only a couple more weeks before the season is totally written off, and I don't know about you, but when the NHL website starts doing classic games as their top stories, I don't think much will go on this year at all. Dammit.



A couple of Fallujah articles, because the other, non Pentagon embedded, side needs to be reported as well. And just as I opened up the web this evening, saw that there are reports that a marine executed a wounded insurgent, umm dude, don't do it in front of the TV camera, even if they are embedded and supposed to be supportive of your side of the story. The whole thing of taking over the hospital as the first target still sticks in my throat, or craw or whatever the saying is - just because the wounded aren't going to hospital doesn't mean that they are there...



Anyways, I was trying to find positive stories last night, and couldn't really find any, but this morning went past Good Morning Silicon Valley (don't worry, the only blog I have on faves at the moment that is as link filled as mine, not all of them are blogging about blogs LOL) about all the hype of Halo 2, the new X-Box game.



'With all that, this game had BETTER be frickin' good. Better than sex with Jennifer Garner while eating garlic chicken pizza and watching the seventh game of the Stanley Cup final good. In fact, a cynic might say that no matter how good Halo 2 is, it's going to have trouble living up to the hoopla surrounding it. '



Apart from the Jennifer Garner mention (get some taste man) yes, with all the hype it better be that good - no Stanley Cup this year, sorry Steve of Edmonton writer person LOL.



Again on Fallujah, courtesy of the LA Times - 'Because rough terrain restricted use of military vehicles, the leading edge of the attack was five Marine infantry battalions — thousands of riflemen on foot, backed by tanks, in a spectacular offensive that evoked images of World War I. The infantry swept through the city quicker than expected, despite intense fighting.'



Watching the news, disregarding that execution footage, ick, Fallujah looks like every other city battlefield of the last twenty years - and they expect 300,000 civilians to just go back there instead of being internal (to Iraq) refugees?



Think that's about it for now - more later :)
