the ice hockey game was so much fun! what a difference music and fights can make to raise the thrill of these games. there were a lot of "ooooo, eeeehhhh, ouch!" sounds from the crowd. one player spilt blood onto the ice..and the referee waited til it solidified so he could scrape it off! ick! these players are just brutal towards each other...i can only imagine what watching a game like toronto vs montreal must be like.



been shopping around for a digital keyboard. i've been aching to play piano again...but figure if i'm not going to get a full out grand piano (which i'm not), i should just get a nice digital keyboard. i'm leaning towards the yamaha p120s---thoughts anyone? this seems to have the basic sound that i want..plus a few bells and whistles for some fun.



with one week left to go before the oscars, i'm in movie-watching crunch time. yesterday, i caught master and commander with sri---it was good but i didn't totally love the story. i felt like i was dropped in between stories and didn't feel a really good sense of closure at the end. the costumes, makeup, action shots, everything about the film itself was beautifully done; however, the lack of a really strong storyline just didn't do it for me. on the other hand, this film's intention seemed more to be to convey a sense of experience and adventure rather than to tell a specific story...and for that, it did a fine job. i can understand all of the nominations it received..but i don't think it has a chance for best picture. others to watch this week in order: mystic river, something's gotta give, monster, big fish, in america. i'll need to remember to send out an evite to people to watch the oscars with me....



saw the last episode of sex & the city tonight. [sigh] an end of an era. i love what that show brought. i love how it depicted the brutally honest lives of single, successful, independent women.
