My heart bleeded, girl

This meme doesn't work so well when the songs show up in alphabetical order by artists and there so much Backstreet and Beatles in your library that nothing else has a chance. I had to cheat a little. Anyway, enter these words in your iTunes library search bar and see what comes up first.

love: Naked Love - Adam Lambert
hate: Whatever Gets You Through the Night - John Lennon
light: Mr. Moonlight - The Beatles

So, two days of federal mediation in the NHL CBA mess, and the mediators ran for the hills. Can't say as I blame them, nor am I shocked. Next step, meeting with owners and players without Gary, Bill, Steve, and Don. Contrary to what some people are saying, not all the players are uneducated/dumb as a post - there are plenty of Ivy Leaguers among them, and other smart guys, and I think they can be a match for the owners. It depends on what owners Gary actually allows to participate. If it could be someone other than Jacobs, Leipold, Leonsis or Edwards, that would be excellent. I think Mario and Snider should definitely be there. And when that doesn't work, it's time for disclaimer/decertifying, and then all the NHL action we're going to see will be in the courtroom, not on the ice.

Fun times.

At this point, it's almost entertaining, in a brand suicide, bus off the cliff, train wreck kind of way.

I did enjoy this Twitter exchange:

Chris Botta ‏@ChrisBottaNHL
The NHL proposed owner-player meeting: undeveloped plan, obvious PR ploy, insult to intelligence, waste of time.

Down Goes Brown ‏@DownGoesBrown
@ChrisBottaNHL Sooo... pretty much the most positive thing the league has done in months?

In other stupidity, on spn_storyfinders, someone was looking for fics where Jensen is "slow" (quotes not mine), like maybe he's autistic or has Asperger's or a head injury. Anything where he's "slow." There were ten comments cheerfully reccing stories, which is fine. But then I couldn't help myself, I left a comment saying, "I'm sure you didn't mean to be offensive, but you might want to reconsider the use of the word "slow" wrt autism and Asperger's." And now the post is gone.

But, I mean, really.

( Okay, SPN talk )
