Vancouver

I am currently listening to the Vancouver Canucks/Detroit Red Wings game. Todd Bertuzzi has scored a hat trick... this is good news for any Vancouver fan. Dan Cloutier is back in net (after suffering a concussion a few weeks back).
It is 4-1 Vancouver with 10 minutes left in the third period... make that 8.5 minutes left. The crowd is cheering due to a hard hit (the game is in Vancouver)

Enough about hockey, lets talk about modern art.
I think that one of the great art pieces in this post-modern era must be some hunk of crap out there. The reason is that the piece speaks to all the eras before it by including some reference to all other period pieces.
I know when I'm standing in a gallery ready to fall asleep with one of those pamphlets in my hand I like to know that the creative process of the particular piece has been draconically decided upon with the painstaking dullness that only art can provide.

The goaltender really looks good when he can go post to post like that.... 3.5 minutes to go in the third... Detroit is pressing... the shots are 11-0 this period for Detroit... 3 minutes left. Yzerman is attacking. 2 minutes left. Detroit penalty coming. many fans are leaving now with 1:20 left up by 3 and on the power play... make that a 5 on 3. 52 seconds left the Canucks are 2 men up...
Well they won, and they stopped the red hot Red Wings, thank Christ I'm at home and not downtown right now

You might enjoy the pile of 1,000,000 pennies currently on display at the VAG. Or maybe you already have...
