I have thoughts...about Indiana Jones

But not like that.  Well, okay, maybe every once in a while...Harrison Ford is an über-hottie, after all.  But what I want to address is...Shia.  Of the beef kind.  Because nothing in this world, except for spiders, scares me more than the wedding scene in Kingdom of the Crystal Skull where the hat blows across the floor to him and he picks it up.  I didn't actually mind him that much in the movie - I mean, this is the series that features Willie and Shorty, for Pete's sake - but I'm not doing it again.  If they DID do another Indy movie, which I honestly kind of hope they don't, here are my thoughts:

There is a huge white line at the bottom of my image. Don't use Paint, kids.

Yeah, that's Jensen Ackles.  Maybe I am blinded by the fangirl light, because right now I'm like, "Do ALL the movies!!!" but I dunno, it works for me.  I thought I would never watch an Indy movie without Harrison Ford, but...apparently there's one exception. Am I wrong?

I'd like to think I'm being picky about this, too - I mean, I've seen Romancing the Stone, like every person over 25 has.  Decent movie (from what I remember...it's been a while), crap casting.  Michael freaking Douglas?  Are you kidding? What exactly was it about Michael Douglas that made the casting director say, "Watch out, we got a badass over here!"?  It's not happening for me.  And it hasn't happened for me with anybody else.  But Jensen Ackles?  I can get on that train.  Now put down that hat, kid, so we can get on with the Nazi hunting.

Hockey thoughts

Let's start off with some hockey, shall we?  Now, I'm a diehard Red Wings fan (and you can tell because I'm not freaking out despite knowing that we're going to suck next season), but I live in Southern California and have seen the Ducks quite a bit, so don't burn me at the stake when I tell you I have a bit of a soft spot for a certain Teemu Selanne.

Selanne's 1400th point, at home against Detroit...yep, I was there.

I even made a special trip up to see the Ducks' last regular season home game this year (also their last home game period since they failed to make the playoffs),  just so I could give him the ol' "One more year!"  Well, I guess it worked because he just signed on for another year, yaaaayyyy!

Now if only Red Wings defenseman and hockey legend Nicklas Lidstrom hadn't retired this year.  I really don't know what we're going to do without him.  It would've been difficult enough to face his loss if we'd signed Suter, but now that he's off to Minny with best buddy Parise, we are completely screwed.  Like, it doesn't even matter at this point that the only two forwards we signed are Tootoo and Samuelsson because our defense is such a gaping abyss.  We could've signed Stamkos (well, not really, but y'know), and we'd still be S.O.L. on defense.

The worst part is, there's no one to blame.  You obviously can't blame Lidstrom for retiring - I shouldn't even have to say that.  You can't blame Ken Holland - he made an offer to Suter that was pretty much the same as the one the Wild made; Suter just happened to want to go to Minnesota instead (God only knows why). As for the "why didn't we see this coming" question, we did, but we didn't have the cash to throw at a prime d-man before Lidstrom retired. There's just nothing we could've done differently to avoid putting ourselves in this situation.  It sucks, and there's no one to point the finger at.  Poop.

I just can't even process the fact that Lidstrom retired yet.  Maybe in another couple months I can start getting mad at Suter, but right now I still can't handle that Lidstrom won't be playing in October or that I'll never see him on the ice again.  Wait, did I say I wasn't going to freak out at the beginning of this post?  God, I'm such a liar - COMMENCE FREAK OUT IMMEDIATELY!!!

It's MEEEEE!!!

Okayyy, five hours later and I finally thought of a URL that wasn't taken, stupid though it may be!  So, um, hi.  First posts are intimidating.  I have another blog that has exactly one glorious post - I set the bar so high with my hopes and expectations of cleverness and English major-y type stuff that I couldn't back it up.  Then there's the other blog I've had since I was about 15 (I'm 27), and it has so much whining about people in high school and ditherings about what I'm going to do with my life that it's pretty obvious I need to start over.  Not that this will be much better, but hopefully there'll be less whining.

What will you see on here?  Well, my current obsessions are hockey, nail polish, Supernatural (the TV show - I'm not a voodoo priestess...which is unfortunate because then this blog would be a lot more interesting), Formula 1 racing (ok, and NASCAR), Harry Potter, all kind of nerdities.  Oh yeah, I also wanted a place to use all the stupid GIFs I've found.  Basically, I should have gotten a Tumblr along with the rest of the fangirls, but I already have this account and am too lazy to go start another one somewhere else.  Sorry to bring the quality of the Internet down yet another notch.
