These are going to be quick. Due to my migraine state these past few days I have been unable to work on homework like I like to... so hence the no links yesterday and the weird title today (YAY Psychology of Creativity!) Plus I have the song "Friday" stuck in my head for god knows what reason. These Migraines and their strange ways I feel like I should start naming them like Hurricanes...

Fun Fun Looking Forward to the weeeeeekend... Lord Help me!

• Oshie, wherefore art thou Oshie? -- He's NOT with Patrick Kane thank GOD!

So Memorial day I slept in for the troops and I send them all of my rest, I also cleaned. Just my kitchen, it sparkles while I still have to climb over things like I am on a jungle gym to get any where. I also just found out that Bucky from the Captain America also is the Mad Hatter on Once Upon A Time... my mind was BLOWN! Now I have to prepare to start school again tomorrow. My last round of classes begin at 10 AM and last till 10 PM and I have a migraine shit son its gonna be a long day. I am so tired right now I am falling asleep at the keyboard. Damn Migraines just drain every ounce of energy out of my body, fucking migraines man.

So with that let's just get on with it shall we?

• This is still a vast pit of emptiness in my heart.

Hey Look the Links Department is still living!

I think all of our lives kinda took over these past few days... in my case my sleep schedule just kept fucking me over... so did you miss us? are you going to maime us? come at me bro...? I am not accustom to said punishment... I feel like there should be one... or at least for me... I kinda miss my punishments that forced me to do crazy things for YouTube... so its summer... I miss links then y'all can punish me... :D

On a more serious note, Happy Memorial Day to those of our readers who have served, have family that has served, or is in any other way connected to the military. I lost my biological great grandfather in the Battle of Anzio on D-Day in WWII and my Adoptive Great Grandpa served as well. The purple heart is one of the only things my Grandma has of her father and its something I have been the only grandchild to wear and it makes me proud. So my dear service Men and Women your sacrifice is appreciated and I hope one day we will be at peace so all of you can come home to your families!

God Bless the Troops!

Robot Watching Mulan Links:

Blues News:

• Nothing, Nada, Zilch. Sad...

Hello one and all! I am late... I am late... said the red headed "rabbit" that was inside my brain today. I was up all night last night working on this damn DVD for my swim lesson kids. (Whom I realized this morning at 6 AM when I was finally laying down for a nap that I do entirely to much for them...) I awoke to realize that it was 9:50 AM I had to be at work at 10 AM and live 20 mins away by L as well as the fact that I had forgotten to do the Links while editing last night as was my plan... Apparently Editing not only possess the power to make time jump but also prevents access to any memory not needed to piece a cut together.

So with that I come to you at this late hour, forgive me my friends... but honestly tear me a new one because I deserve it... :D

Late Robot Links:

Blues News:

• There is actually news out there in St. Louis Blues land! Blues Sign 2010 Pick Jani Hakanpaa... can I just call him HankyPanky because that's all his last name makes me think of... lol (Blues)
• Big Walt is hosting a fantasy camp... not sure if its for hockey or hot dog eating contests. (Blues)

OMG NO BLUES HOCKEY IT SUCKS!!!!

*RBRs Brain is in MAJOR Withdrawal*

Hartigan (& Other Females or Males who'd like to join) can we do a synchronized Gilmore Girls Marathon/weekly "GDT"? I am so lost and need to shoot the shit with someone during this very difficult time.

Quicky Robo Links:

Blues News:

• They are absent from the minds but not hearts... *Finishes off another pint of Ben and Jerry's*

My nights are so boring now a days... I have no puck to watch, unless you count the rest of the Stanley Cup playoffs. But honestly I could care less about who is left. No team is really exciting to me and I have no desire to continue watching Quick mind fuck us all... its a wound that is still to fresh.

So that leaves my nights free to wallow away and attempt to fill the empty spot left by the blues with ice cream and an intense Gilmore Girls marathon... its like an intense break up that I am in the early stages of getting over.

Come back to me my dear blues I seriously won't ever hurt you like that again!

Now for the depressed RBR links:

Blues News:

• Not much out there but this was a really cool read with our Boy Shatty. (Greenwich Post)
• Bleacher Report gives us an A-... I can take that. (Bleacher Report)
• Can Tommy Stillman get shit done in St. Louis? Hope so cause damn we deserve it Tom. (STLToday)

Flick is off stuck in an endless cycle tending to a boom pole and very little sleep...

That sounds a little wrong... eh.

SO while he is off recording sound on some set that I will never see I am here for you, the people... of Gametime... are we really people here? I ponder these things at very awkward times. I really need to stop doing that... or not.

I now shall move forward cause really this is just starting to sound very rambly and like I have been hit in the head or something of that nature... Seriously is it time for Blues hockey to be back yet???

Onward with the Links of the Robot!

Blues News:

• Interesting read on our future Russian Stallion... dog... what animal best associates with a russian??? (KMOV)

What's up people of the blues fandom? I have missed you all!

Hartigan is off trying to make it around the world in 80 days so y'all get me!

This afternoon the St. Louis Blues embark on a quest to redeem their honor... much like Prince Zuko in Avatar: The Last Airbender. Only instead of traipsing across the wild plaines of the 4 Nations in the hopes of capturing some bald kid with an arrow tattooed on his forehead, The boys in blue are after the Avatar of all hockey, Lord Stanley's cup. How this will end today is anyone's guess. One thing is for certain I want to see each and every blues player prove to me that they still have the hearts of firebenders and play with the intensity and heart that we fans have come to expect from them all year.

Now onward to some Linkage brought to you by a future Graduate of Columbia College Chicago!

Blues News:

• If you haven't heard yet, Colaiacovo/Crombeen Out. Cole/Reaves In. (Blues)

• It's game day so harass some Kings fans and drink a beer or two... I gots to graduate before I am allowed to watch... so do this for me. kthx! (Jewels From the Crown)

SO I watched the game last night... I joined you all in the GDT... I was early... But No win... I was very sad panda. So I proceded to drown my sorrows in a big bag of Munchos, Gummy Worms, and Dr. Pepper (Editing Nights have to be done sober...) I put the CD the Blackhawks Fan made me on repeat and Belted out Some Fun. We are Young... I felt better after that... though it was probably the intense Suger High...

Also, All the Fucks go to Corey Perry. That's all I am gonna say.

iRobot, uLinks:

As I sit here installing Final Cut 7 on to my new computer I was just utterly flabbergasted by what to title today's Links and then I looked up and saw my poster of 101 Greatest Movie Quotes. There are so many good ones that would fit the blues but some are just far to long for a header... so I think I will just have to add a few into the links today...

So let's bring on the Quotety Quote Robotic Links!

The tweet sent out to an Albany, New York blogger as to "get a hobby" when he protested the radio stations decision to not broadcast or even discuss the local AHL team The Devils. I was appauled and saddened and very happy the Puck father in all his infonaut wisdom posted a link to WTMM's feedback page. (found Here) I have risked being late to work to respond to this tweet on their feedback page. Follow the jump and read my response... comment away! 

Off to go vent my anger on some small children!
