What's with all the plaid?

Is today National Plaid Day or something?

I'm guilty of the plaid... but it was a spur of the moment decision this morning. Sir Cuteness also wore plaid (a darker shade of blue than my shirt) and the cute math guy wore plaid... as well as about 30 other people that I saw today. Totally random... or was it?! Dun, dun, dunnnn... it's all a conspiracy; we're all plotting to take over the world. 

World Lit was a bore, but what else is new? At least there were more than 9 people in class today... and/or it wasn't cancelled. My mind wasn't on World Lit, though. I was running a tad late this morning... but apparently, I had perfect timing! Brief interaction with Sir Cuteness FOR THE WIN!!! Have I mentioned that he was totally adorable? Well, he is. I can't help it... and apparently he can't help it, either. I love totally random moments. I really do. I know it's not going to go anywhere, but I'm liking the verbal interaction. That's all that matters, as far as I'm concerned. Constant smiling and eye contact just wasn't going to cut it. 

But yeah, back to boring World Lit. I think our instructors illness has gotten worse. He talks a lot lower/softer than he did before... and classes keep getting shorter. He handed out the prompt for our 2nd and last essay... all I can say is "Yikes!" A big, fat, yikes! He's letting us pick our own topic/junk to write about. Um, no? I'd rather him just tell us what to write. In English this time. He also handed out readings for the final couple of weeks... the readings end on May 7th. That's 11 days before the semester is supposed to end? Though he did mention something about printing out poetry... so maybe that'll last us until the final day? If not, my semester ends on May 7th, baby!

So yeah, the plaid thing was spur of the moment. I was going to wear one of my Def Leppard shirts... today is April 23rd... Steve Clark's 53rd birthday would have been today. Steve is (and will forever be) one of my favorites. I wear Leppard shirts on this day every year... but I couldn't today. I was already half way to becoming a wreck. I posted a pic on Facebook and changed my profile picture to a picture of Steve... that's all my heart could take. Normally, I would also jam to old school Leppard all day... I did that today, but not really by choice (at first). I did NOT want bawl like a baby in the library. I decided to put my iPod on shuffle (there's like 8100 songs on there?)... and the first song? "Gods of War" by Def Leppard. Geezus. Goosebumps central. And yeah, I bawled like a b*tch. Zero shame. Oh, and the next song after that? "Wasted" by Def Leppard... Steve wrote that song. From that moment on, I decided to just make it a full Leppard jam session. I had constant goosebumps for well over an hour... with tears in my eyes... people probably thought I was on something. Again, no shame. Steve Clark Forever!! ♥

Math class. I'm really going to miss these people. Well, not all of them... but I will miss about 7 of them. Just like last semester (in that case it was like 4? haha!). I don't know what it is, but I like the people in my math class more than I do the people in my English class... just like last semester (with the exception of 2 or 3 people). Probably because of a lot of the English majors in our classes have been stuck-up ass clowns. 

Math class ends (for the majority) on May 2nd... May 7th is the day where you can come in and check your final grade, as well as your grade for the last test (Ch. 6). If you've passed you can leave... if you're not at a passing grade, the final day is May 14th. Either way, we all get an early vacation. Yeeee!

OH! We took a hellacious test last Thursday and I totally thought I bombed it... 100%, yo!! Miraculous. Absolutely miraculous. Two 100% scores in a row. It's a miracle. 

The San Jose Sharks are an absolute buzzkill. Mhm. Not all the time... but a good majority of the time. I don't even think they've clinched a playoff spot yet? Tonight's their last home game of the regular season... and I believe they have another game or two on the road? Yeah, they better clinch a damn playoff spot.  

Songpop awaits.

*EDIT* (10PM) The San Jose Sharks are headed to the playoffs!!!!!! ♥ 

A peanut butter sandwich.

So.. um... 

I HAD LUNCH WITH THE CUTE GUY!

 The end.

Mhm. I'm serious, the Universe has been on my side this week. He got out of class a tad earlier than usual and had a bit more time to spare. I was sitting in the library about to eat my sandwich, when all of a sudden I hear: 

"A peanut butter sandwich tastes better when it's eaten outside..."

He gave me a look and motioned for me to come outside with him. "Lunch" only lasted about 10 minutes or so, but yeah... BOOM! Does a peanut butter sandwich really taste better when it's eaten outside? Heck yes.

He had to go and do his thing and I went back into the library and watched "Mr. Belvedere." I have an exciting life. Ha!

The math take-home test scores were posted today... 100% babyyy! My head wasn't on straight when I took that test. I took it the day before we returned from Spring Break... I still wasn't 100% better from that 2-week illness. I think it's safe to say that I have an 'A' in that class... miraculous.

The Sharks. Still on a winning streak. But most importantly....

WE HAVE SCOTT HANNAN BACK!!!!

YESSSSSS!!!!!!

I know people are saying he's no better than Douglas Murray... but he's Scott frickin' Hannan, and I've been wanting him back in a teal jersey for years. The Sharks also acquired Raffi Torres... that should be interesting...

I love this day.

I repeat: I love this day!!!

World Literature. I did not want to go this morning but I did anyway. (I'm feeling a lot better, btw. Having spent 99% of my Spring Break sick.)

He handed back the atrocious midterm. I was totally convinced that I had bombed it. I guess it was worth 50 points... I got a 39. 78%. However, he decided to grade on a curve, because "some people did really good and some people did really bad. Really bad." Yeah, we didn't want to see ours. My friend and I didn't do too bad... and with the curve, it's all good. The curve made it out of 46 points. 40-46 is an A... and so forth. So I got 39/46. Not too shabby. He was very kind to me on the brief essays. I should have scored a lot worse. 7/10 on the first and  8/10 on the other one. Ha!

The library. Oh, the library. Funny things happen in there. Mhm...

HE SPEAKS!!! 

Yep, cute boy speaks. He spoke to me. I didn't even recognize him. Honestly. He has short, spikey hair now.  Yeah. He went from looking like an 18 year old to looking like a 25 year old. How long were we on break for?? It's not that I forgot what he looked like... he just looks different all of a sudden. And he spoke to me. Ha! It took me a minute to figure out who he was. "What are you doing?" Random people who make small talk ask me that all of the time... but he never does. So I figured it was just some random guy killing some time. Then he looked at me and I couldn't help but silently squee. Like, whoa. I said I was watching Led Zeppelin, which I was... I have "The Song Remains the Same" on my iPod. He was like, "Oh, The Song Remains the Same?!?!" Marry me. He speaks Zeppelin. Marry.Me.Now. Ha! "Yep!" He nodded his head and said, "cool!" He looked at down at my iPod's screen for a few minutes, smiled, and then walked away. Um... what? The Universe is on my side today. For sure.

The Sharks. Last time I blogged, they had traded Murray. They've been on a winning streak since that trade. Go figure. They have since traded Handzus... and today, they traded...

CLOWE! They've traded Clowe! 

Bye-bye, Clown. 

This day has been amazing. Mhm!

SongPop awaits.  

 

"Tune in, groove on, bust out!"

Long time, no blogging. College will do that to ya... so will being sick. Ugh.

I've been lagging on my other blog too, but Blogspot hates me again, apparently. Whenever I go to blog about something in the music world, I always get an error message. I haven't tried in about a week, so I just might try again...

Anyway, I hate being sick. I've had an allergy-related sickness for just over a week now. I was over it on Wednesday, but died again on Thursday. Fun stuff. Spring Break started today, but mine actually started on Thursday around 4-ish! Who wants to be sick during Spring Break?! I sure as hell don't. Especially when you have a take-home math test and a bazillion pages to read for World Lit. Again, fun stuff.

SongPop has kept me company. I am totally addicted. I've been playing it for months and I'm still absolutely addicted. I've also found a way to challenge more than 20 users (I refuse to become a VIP member, still going the free route). Ha! Browse through your opponents list and challenge their opponents... I think I'm challenging around 35 people, now? Take that, SongPop! Username: LizzyLepp (anyone surprised?) if anyone wants to challenge me :)

The midterm I mentioned in my last post? Yeah, I pretty much failed that. That was the worst midterm I have ever seen. To top it off, we had a sub that day... so any questions we might've had, couldn't get answered. Lovely. Oh well... you win some, you lose some.

But yeah, the whole being sick thing has had me down. It's also been costing me sleep... but when do I ever get any sleep? I've been getting less sleep now. SongPop, Solitaire, and my iPod are seriously my best friends right now. However, today, I've experienced a turnaround. For the first time in a week, I found myself overcome with giddiness. Why? Well...

DAMON PAMPOLINA AND I ARE FACEBOOK FRIENDS. It's funny how the world works. As a child of the late 80s-mid 90s, these people are your celebrity crushes or "pretend boyfriends" (haha!)... and in the year 2010's, you're able to call them your Facebook friends. Yeah, yeah, "Facebook friends"... but he actually talks to people and "likes" peoples' posts/links/photos, etc. Chasen Hampton does the same thing... as does Albert (who goes by Jeune Pierre). The Skid Row guys are cool as hell too, when it comes to interacting with fans on social media sites. Same with Hanson. Kudos.

95% of you are probably thinking (or saying to yourself), who is Damon Pampolina? Who is Chasen Hampton? Albert? Only three of my all-time favorite mouseketeers from the late 80s-early 90s version of the Mickey Mouse Club! "The All-New Mickey Mouse Club"... later shortened to just "MMC" for the cool factor. They were also 3/5 of the pop band, "The Party" (5 of the oldest members from the 1st season of the Mickey Mouse Club were chosen to be in a pop band). I'll blog about The Party over at my music blog, at some point... I've been wanting to, but Blogspot won't let me.

 (Damon's on the far left, Chasen is next to him, Tiffini's in the middle, Deedee is next and Albert's on the far right)

But yeah, this is HUGE. The Party rocked my little world... and I still love them to this day. Chasen and Damon were my favorites. Chasen was my fashion idol... and he's a fellow ginger. GINGER POWER!!

From age 3 to about 6 (?) Jordan Knight (NKOTB), Chasen, and Damon were my main men. Mhm. My Mother let me help name my little brother (born in 1992, I was almost 6)... and I totally wanted to name him either Jordan, Damon, or Chase. She wouldn't let me give him the first name, so I got to choose the middle name. She shot down both Chase and Damon... but damn did I try!! Ha! I've had Chasen as a Facebook friend for about 4 years now? I was all giddy when he accepted my request as well... he's even left "happy birthday" posts on my wall; the same year Rick Allen from Def Leppard gave me a "happy birthday" tweet. I almost pissed my pants. Albert "Jeune Pierre" sent me a friend request last year... yeah, sent me a request. 

Now I have Damon on my list... Damon Pampolina's the bee's knees. Hahaha! Hey, The Party played an important role in my childhood. They are still important... I still jam to them all the time. And they've reunited (without Tiffini Hale *sad face*)... I am one giddy girl! I never got to see them in concert, I almost did, but the show was sold-out in minutes *massive sad face*. Maybe I'll get the chance now... and if not, I will still get NEW music from The Party. Yeeeee!!!!

*Fan girl mode has now been turned off* The San Jose Sharks have just been pitiful as of late. I mean, seriously. However, they kicked some ass tonight. (They got screwed out of a goal, but they still got the 2 points!) It's about friggin' time!!! 5-3 over Anaheim!! Yeeee!!! However (pt 2), they traded Douglas Murray earlier this afternoon. I know. They NEED to trade Clowe and Boyle... I'm sorry, but they're 'deadweight' as well. Clowe is nothing but a goon... and Boyle is only good when he wants to be... and apparently, he hardly ever wants to be good.

This is probably the most random blog post ever... but my head is only semi-right at the moment. haha! Hopefully it will be fully right soon! Send over some good vibes, please... I need to be healed.

SongPop awaits.

Things that make you go hmmm...

We got our papers back today... I didn't want mine back. I was so ashamed of that paper. I had no clue what my instructor wanted. The prompt for the paper made absolutely zero sense and it was tough to figure out. When we asked him what exactly it was that he wanted, he was brief and not very helpful... especially when he ended it with, "just do whatever." Just do whatever?!?! What if the "whatever" is wrong??? Ahhhh. We had about one week to do it. Yeah, a week. I'm used to instructors giving us anywhere from 2 1/2weeks to a month to do a paper. A week? For a paper like that? Yikes. Anyway, I was fully expecting an F. Or an F---. Yeah, a 40 or 50% would've done that paper justice... or at least in my eyes. I seriously had no clue.

He handed the papers back (which was pretty much all our class consisted of today, what a waste!)... 100/100. A.

WHAT?!?!?! HOW?!?!?! WHAT?!?!?!

That was seriously the worst paper I've ever written. I say that at least once a semester... but I seriously meant it this time. Seriously. I should also mention that I wrote the majority of it the day/night before it was due. Which isn't anything new... but I totally felt the pressure for this one. The sources were mediocre (but for this particular subject, there aren't many available online sources) and one source I used was a dictionary. I used the dictionary for a word/definition I already knew. Ha! I should probably mention that I haven't received 100% on a paper in a few semesters. The closest thing was a 97% last semester? 

My mind is still boggled. 

Next up? Midterm. On Thursday. Bring it. Briiiiiinggggg iiiiiiittttt.

Brown shirt. Khaki pants. Adorable. I've seen blue jeans and corduroys, but never khaki pants. Homeboy can rock them all. He could probably even rock a kilt. I'm not gonna lie, that could be hot. But yeah, Mr. Cuteness walked passed me as I was cracking up over "Mr. Belvedere." I bet that was real attractive. I'm pretty sure my face was bright red, fully equipped with tears streaming down my face. I couldn't help it. (The episode I was watching was an absolute mess. "Wesley" totally made that show. Well, the banter between "Wesley" and "Mr. Belvedere". Also, I love that "Heather" was obsessed with Duran Duran!) 

 Speaking of "Mr. Belvedere", I forgot how much I loved that show. I mean, I used to watch that show all the time when I was a kid... but it's been forever since I've watched it. Yet, I can still remember the plots for most of the episodes and I know what's going to happen next. Finding that show on "FamilyNet" last month was a real blessing... haha! And to think I found it by stalking Jason Bateman's TV schedule... haha! "Mr. Belvedere" popped up and I was like "WHAT?!?!?! WHAT CHANNEL?!?!?! TELL ME WE HAVE THAT CHANNEL?!?!?!" But that's not all... they have like every episode on Youtube... which are now on my iPod. So I can watch this lovely show whenever and wherever. Mwahahahaha!!!! Some things never change, I guess! 

Again, math sucks. Or at least the level I'm taking does. This chapter sucks. The previous started out a little rough, but I kicked its ass. Mhm. I finished the test in 13 minutes (a personal record, I think?) and scored a 97. Ha! The test was word-for-word/number-for-number of what the study guide was, but still. This next test is a take-home test, because it's so hard... lovely. Aaaaaand she's giving it to us over Spring Break... again, lovely. 

One thing that isn't lovely? The San Jose Sharks. They pretty much suck. I'm not one to sugarcoat. They're my team, and have been for about 13 years, now? But dude, they suck. I know they can't win them all... but they could if they tried. They're straight-up pitiful. It's becoming pathetic. They think they can just skate by and hopefully tie the game at the last minute and force OT... at least they'll get a point. WRONG. WRONG. WRONG. That's the wrong mentality. Getting a point is nice, but that's NOT the mentality you want. You don't want to be the team that has to constantly play catch-up. They need to get their act together...

AND NO, IT ISN'T MARLEAU'S FAULT. If anything, Marleau's been the only player keeping things afloat this "season"... if it weren't for him, they probably would've lost the first 7 games, as well. If the "fans" or the "media" are going to call out anyone, it should be Thornton, Couture, Clowe, and Boyle. Yeah, I said it.

Now, excuse me while I go play Songpop.

My kind of crazy...

Today was a bit crazy... but it was my kind of crazy!

World Lit... yeah, I am so over that class. I wish it would end tomorrow. There was almost a full class today, and it almost lasted the entire hour and fifteen minutes. That's a first. I was overjoyed... ha. Actually, I quit about midway through the 'lecture'... if you want to call it that? Yeah, Mr. Instructor compared something to Charlie Sheen... and of course idiot boy had to chime in and say something. Idiot boy wishes he could have Charlie Sheen's life. Why? "All of the partying! He's like the master of partying! And the sex... omg! The women. And allll of that cocaine!" I don't have time for that sh*t. I don't. And since today is my Friday (I get two Fridays, ha!) I said "frick it!" and quit. I grabbed my iPod and put on some Zeppelin. Mhm. I jammed to Led Zeppelin for the last half of class. The perks of sitting in the back corner!

It was hot today. Like, 70+ degrees hot. Without a breeze. It was wonderful. We'd probably have nice weather more often, if it weren't for the random breezes that come with it... hopefully this will stay around for a while. 

I spent most of my day in the campus library, as I do for most of my Tuesdays/Thursdays. Lately, I've been sitting on the staircase... I don't like crowded rooms. I guess I'm just weird like that. I decided to take a little walk and get some bottled water... in the process, I ran into someone I hadn't seen in a while. Hey, in my defense, he wasn't watching where he was walking, either. I had a good reason, I looked down at my iPod for a brief couple of seconds (I was mesmerized by Bono). But I am not complaining. Ha! I haven't fully seen this person in almost two months. We were both stunned as f*ck. A good stunned on both parts, I'm thinkin'. Omg... it was a mess. A cute mess. No words were spoken. Nope. Just eye contact and a lot of smiling. Yeah, apparently, I can't speak... but that's okay, because apparently, he can't speak either. Well, we can, just not to each other; it's only ever been small talk (once or twice). And noooo, I do not "have it bad", I just have it... I'm not entirely sure what "it" is, though? I guess I'm 'in like'... or something. 

So yeah, I was mesmerized by Bono/U2. U2 is absolute perfection.

This is what had my full attention, and this was the soundtrack to that random encounter that I just mentioned. (I was watching a live performance, though.)

Then math happened. Can that end tomorrow, too? That class seriously needs to end. The current chapter that we're on is absolutely ridiculous. Word problems? No thank you. Chapter 4 is apparently going to be worse? Lovely. We had a semi-short class. We had a teacher evaluation thing, so we only had half a lecture. The lady doing the evaluation was the lady who wrote our math book (who's also a teacher at the college). While watching our instructor instruct, she looked confused as all hell. Join the club, lady... this chapter is whack, I'm tellin' ya. Whack. And our instructor isn't making it any easier.

*News flash* The Marq Torien/Nathan Parsons look-alike is getting hotter. The guy with the hair wore a Batman shirt today... ha! 1) I love Batman. 2) Another reminder of that U2 song... double ha!

Anyway, I came straight home and watched "WKRP In Cincinnati". Yep, I've found another station that shows that wonderful program. A station on Dish! It just needs to show "The Monkees" and "The Partridge Family". That'll take away the pain from no longer having 'MeTV'... probably the only thing I miss about Comcast. Oh, and this station ALSO shows "Mr. Belvedere". A childhood favorite of mine!! I made sure to DVR all of this... heck to the yes! After "WKRP" I changed it to "ALF"... my beloved ALF. "The Facts of Life" came on after that, "The Hub" had some kind of special event night. I accidentally changed the channel and found "The Mighty Morphin Power Rangers"... mhm, yep! It was morphin' time!!! (I stayed with "The Facts of Life" and DVRd MMPR.) All week NickToons has been playing the different variations of the Power Rangers franchise... tonight just happened to be the night to actually watch. 

Tonight was my childhood night... haha!

When I was a kid, I used to have it bad for "Jason", the red ranger. What in the f*ck was I thinking? 7 year-old Liz, what were you thinking? Seriously?! hahaha!! I'm questioning that previous love... I really, am. Btw, nice anklet, "Jason"... it matches your earring(s). Oh, Liz... haha! But it really is funny watching all of these shows now. You pick up on things you miss when you're a child. And it's funny watching from an adult's perspective.

Today would've been perfect... but the Sharks failed me, once again. They lost... in a shootout. They get a point, but still. They started off the season perfectly... 8 straight wins... and it's been downhill from there. I believe they're at 9-6-4 now? Meh.

Buuuut that's not gonna ruin my night. No, sir. I had a hot date with Keith Urban (the ONLY reason I'm watching "American Idol" this season). "Mr. Adorable Bow Tie" advanced to the next round!! I had lasagna for dinner (two days early!)... aaaaand now I'm watching "Queen Rock Montreal" !!! 

FREDDIE!!!! ♥

Level 27

Today is my 27th birthday. 

27 feels no different than 26... and no different than 21, really.

I honestly think that people should quit aging after 21... no, make that 25.

Yeah, 25 is a good place to stop.

Today was a good day. No World Lit today, our instructor was out of town for a conference. I still had to endure math, though. That was one, giant, wtf? This chapter is going to suck. Mhm! I'm pretty sure of it. I spent most of the day in the campus library, it wasn't massively crowded today. Actually, there weren't many people on campus today, period...

I spent most of the day listening to music. 90% Def Leppard, 5% Duran Duran, and the other 5% consisted of jamming to Emerson Drive. I had pizza for dinner, fully equipped with Dr. Pepper. Birthday cake and ice cream. Also, I watched 2 hours of "ALF" earlier! And received a ton of birthday love from my peeps! Yeah, today was a good day. ♥

$$$, Pez dispensers, and Bob Marley coffee... oh, my! 

Yep, my family knows me very well.

But yeah... I'm 27. One year closer to 30. Woo.

I love James Dean.

I will forever love James Dean.

James Byron Dean (February 8, 1931-September 30, 1955)

James Dean would have been 82 years old today... I'm tellin' ya, Aquarians rule! James Dean is one of my favorite actors, even though he had a short acting career. Rebel, legend, and a true badass. Saying that he was "talented" would be an understatement. That man is a legend... and he will always be a legend. Dean was special and unique. He wasn't just an actor; he was a photographer, musician (he played the bongos, and he loved music), he was a dancer... he was an all-around artist. He also loved to read. That's sexy. Mhm! 

  

Yeah, I'm a little obsessed. Ha! Well, people think I'm obsessed... but I just have a huge admiration for him. The dude was talented and he was sex on legs. The man was gorgeous!  
Hubba-mother friggin-hubbaaaa!!  

Those eyes... that smile... and that face ♥

 But in all seriousness, I think he was a brilliant actor. He was so brilliant, that it's hard to tell when he was actually acting. He was a method actor... he became the character he was portraying. The characters in both "Rebel Without a Cause" and "East of Eden" were eerily similar to Dean, so it probably wasn't that hard for him to act those parts. Even though he was "acting", you really felt that was Dean was "Jim Stark" and "Cal Trask"... it was all genuine. His emotions were real... he gave everything and put everything he had into those roles. Everything was authentic... and boy did he shine in those movies. Those are such classic films... and they always will be. 

People always mention "Rebel Without a Cause" when talking about James Dean...

... and they should, because he was absolutely brilliant in that movie, and that pretty much made Dean "The Rebel"... however, I think his greatest work was "East of Eden". That's my favorite Dean film. I like the brooding, loner, emotionally disturbed (yet sweet), "Cal Trask." I also like that "Cal" was misunderstood... just like Dean... and just like me.

One of the reasons why I am so drawn to James Dean, is because I feel like I can semi-relate to him. Not because we're both Aquarians... but because of similar personalities... and the fact that he marched to the beat of his own drum (much like myself). I think if I were alive back in his day, and was around his age, we would've been BFF's. Mhm! Kindred spirits, if you will. Except for his love of driving/racing... I'd prefer to be in the passenger seat. But yeah, I see a little bit of him in myself. James was brooding, a bit of a loner, shy/quiet, and mysterious, but he was also quite silly! And adorable. Again, misunderstood...

(A young, adorable, James!)

AND HE LIKED CATS!!!! ♥

So yeah, I just pretty much love James Dean. I don't care what anyone says... he will always be one of my favorites! ♥

 Happy 82nd Birthday, Jimmy! I'll see ya on the other side... ♥

*P.S.- Shirtless Jimmy? Yeah, I've got that, too! ;)

First regulation loss for my Sharkies...

Sharks 1    Ducks 2

I'm not liking this. Not at all...

I don't have much to say about tonight's game. The Sharks had about 1 good shift, well, 2... if you count the goal scoring shift. But other than that... meh. I feel sorry for Thomas Greiss. I repeat: they cannot win, when they play like THIS. I know you can't win 'em all... but you can at least try. Geez...

I find it funny how the announcers keep blaming their loss on "bad breaks"... yes, there were a few stupid deflections... along with some poor officiating (again)... but come on, it's okay to admit when your team plays like poo. 

Also, Dan Boyle, please get well soon... apparently, your team plays like crap without you. Oh, the irony...

The next Sharks game is tomorrow, at the Shark Tank... they play John Cusack's team (Chicago Blackhawks). I'm not gonna lie, I'm a little worried...

 7-1-1

The sharks still have this... but for how long?

The Sharks' winning streak is over...

... but that's what happens when you play like that. You play like that... and you lose.

Restless. The Sharks were a bit restless. The fans were restless. There was a lot of action during the first period... even though it was a scoreless first period. The second period was scoreless as well. The Predators were the first ones to score: a wrist shot by Sergei Kostitsyn (assisted by Wilson) at 00:59 in the third period. The Sharks tied the game at 13:39; a power play goal (backhand) by Martin Havlat (assisted: by Gomez). Yet again, the Sharks scored late in the game.

The game went into OT... then it went into a shootout (third-straight shootout, by the way). Handzus, Clowe, and Pavelski shot for the Sharks... all three of them were denied goals. Legwand and Smith shot for the Predators... Smith scored and won it for the Preds. 

So yeah, the Sharks' winning streak is over, however, they still got a point. 

7-0-1 (15 points)

The Sharks are getting better on the PK... so they get praise for that! Also, nods to the defensemen... they did great tonight, except for the one goal that got past Niemi.

Ya can't win 'em all.  

The new winning streak will start on Monday ;)

Go Sharks, Go!!
