Got my brand new paintball mask today in the mail. I look like some kind of shiny, angry wasp with a ponytail in it and it's awesome. Now I just gotta find the time/money/people and go play.
Oh, and I get my car back today. Blew my mass air flow sensor somehow and was given a Subaru Outback to drive until it was fixed. Thing's like driving a spaceship. So many knobs and buttons and slushbox transmission. Give me my barebones manual Impreza any day. Not a bad Thursday so far.

Teemu has the shiniest hair. And sparkliest eyes. And funniest voice. Well, crap. I'm in love with him. How can you not love that goofy Finn grin.

It's many places around here. Wegmans regularly stocks a couple types, and I've found the Watermelon on tap a few places. Had a couple on Saturday.
Good to know! That wasn't the case last year. Maybe I just didn't look hard enough (holidays, no time, stuff out of stock). Sounds good. I think I'll always be partial to anything Breckenridge myself, but d4rk loved that Fireside Chat brew.

First off pumpkin beer is delicious!
Second as summer ends I happened to be out with the girl and she wanted me to order this http://21st-amendmen...igh-watermelon/
I did and I have to say for a light summer beer it was refreshing and the watermelon was not overpowering. May try some more of their beers if I can locate them on the east coast.
21st Amendment makes great stuff. I couldn't find any in Rochester, but for Christmas last year I had a friend farther west send me a couple packs of their FDR themed beer because d4rk is obsessed with the wheeled wonder. Really good stuff. Something in it would give me migraines though. No idea.
Have to admit, the idea of a fruity beer, especially watermelon, turns me off cold.

Bitch. Please. You're a hipster snob and you know it.
Oh he is. You should see his vinyl collection.

I've seen them at least three times over the years and they are consistently one of the best bands to see live.
Best band to see live though? Gogol Bordello. You don't listen to the music, you experience it.
Yes. The Gogol Bounce. Been through it twice- nearly broke my ankle the first time. Be prepared to get bathed in sweat not your own and crowdsurf against your will. The people watching alone is worth admission price. Easily my favorite band to see live.
Glad I dragged you to one, eh D4rk?

My regular doc is "Dr. Brian Boucher". :)
haha that's awesome. Maybe we've uncovered the secret lives of goaltenders aka don't quit your day job

Went to a new eye doctor today. His last name is Lehtonen. He's not sure if he's related to Kari or not (his dad came to US from Finland at age 4 and grandfather was in foster care in Finland, so family lines get unclear around there). He's a hockey player and to distract me while he put in eye drops, he told me Newfie jokes. My kinda doc.

:lol:
This story reminds me of an incident when I was dating my wife. She was going out one night with her girlfriends so I was volunteered to babysit her week old kitten (edit: obviously not a week old, he's a himalayan and she had just got it from the breeder a week earlier). Yeah, yeah I know, don't pretend like the rest of you wouldn't do the same when young and in love. Anyway, the damn thing got it's back leg tangled up in a plastic grocery bag, causing him to race around her apartment trying to "get away" from the bag, s$%*ting and pissing everywhere. It took me about a half hour to finally corner him, remove the bag and lock him in the bathroom. Then it was another couple hours cleaning up the mess that was in every corner of her place. That was thirteen years ago and we still have that old SOB.... I've heard reports of foxes near our neighborhood and I've been tempted to leave the porch door open... :devil:
bahaha and kitten ###### is the worst. Suffering for love, I guess.
Good lord. To think I tell people how great a school it is all the time. I love their open online courses but geez... My uterus is telling me to boycott.

Last night our cat decided to gorge himself. To which he promptly, for 15 minutes straight, puked absolutely everywhere, making no less than (and possibly more than) 11 large piles of half digested stomach contents around the apartment as he ran in fear from his own spewtastic performance. Not counting the barfy cat footprints he tracked everywhere in his mad dash to escape the demons within. D4rk was at work. I'm emetophobic. And I was eating dinner. An hour of cleaning later, life resumed. Pets! Gotta love 'em.

2nd interview for a career changing job possibility in 2 hrs.
Good luck!!!

Today I learned thanks to a TED talk that orgasms can cure hiccups. Well then.

I had a massage yesterday (boo-hoo, I know), and although my back feels better, my neck and shoulders are super sore where she couldn't get all the knots out. Ouch. And for some reason I've lost the ability to sleep through the night this past week, so I'm beat. Gotta find some Tylenol PM or something.
That's no fun. If you haven't already, I recommend getting a foam roller. Things hurt like hell but I've had significantly less back/shoulder trouble since using one. They help with calves and quads and such too. Neck's a little tough to get to with one, though. Good luck with it all!

Half day today because of a work retreat.... PAINTBALL!
F'n Fantastic!
Very nice! Got to play last weekend. Always a good time! Have fun!
-
I forget that Dethklok is a real thing now.
I had no clue what to expect. It was Brendon Small and the rest of the guys who make the music in front of a big screen that was playing Metalocalypse videos/synced up animations. I was up against the rail and got the bass player's pick/covered in Small's sweat and beer. Was better than I thought it would be.

That is the concert I am attending on Sunday. Mastadon is one of the opening acts.
Oh man have fun! Mastodon is awesome live. Saw them a couple years ago with High on Fire and Dethklok.

Kind of upset I'm missing Rob Zombie at Darien Lake this weekend. But I'll be playing paintball instead so it's ok. Hoping he comes round again later in the year. Last concert was Gogol Bordello last year and I'm getting the itch again...

i keep it simple, i walk 10 miles a day 6 days a week, eat healthy and it works. In the last 18 months i have dropped 120 pounds
Dude... congrats! Probably a good way to zen out or listen to a lot of books on tape, too.

More or less enjoyable than watching the average Sabres game?
Well, it takes grueling persistence, ability to put up with the bad smell, some heart warming loyalty, and a few tear jerking moments.... and then I go to the barn to recover.

Living with d4rksabre since he decided to become an active cyclist has made me get back into the workout game... I do a kickboxing dvd (used to be a blackbelt/teach, so it's good to go through the motions again) and on Saturdays volunteer at a barn where I throw bales of hay around and push wheelbarrows loaded with manure through mud in 90 degree heat. Sweats it all out.
Did crossfit bootcamp for awhile but it was just wayyy too expensive. A couple freeweights and a loop around the complex and I can do pretty much everything I learned there.
Cut the beers to weekends only and i try to make sure to keep tasty treats at a minimum around the house. Grazing man, packs it on. Dress size 6 (weight has never been a good measure for me), just toning it up/staying healthy. Can't run well, much to d4rk's dismay haha

Went to Wegmans to find those popsicles in the plastic sleeves this morning as a mid afternoon treat when the temp in our office approaches the "gates of hell" level. Couldn't find them. Found a stock boy who looked alarmingly like a certain Vancouver goalie. After discussing the popsicles and their possible whereabouts, I said to him "Has anyone ever told you that you look like the Vancouver Canucks' Roberto Luongo?"
He laughed and leaned in close to me, then said "Keep it quiet... I don't want Schneider to find me here and take this job too!"
Made my morning. So, Luongo is at a Wegmans in Pittsford, NY. Now you know.

Two books I'm reading... I'm sure many of you have read Ken Dryden's The Game. If you haven't, do. Great stuff. And the other is Saving Face: The Art and History of the Goalie Mask. Just really cool stuff. Learning a lot.

It's been forever since I looked at a post on this board. Too bad for me.
But I'm engaged. And that's awesome. And she's awesome.
Haven't been on in a few days but d4rksabre told me about this- so here's a belated congratulations!!!! Best wishes to both of you!
So d4rksabre and I got our own apartment. No roommates, just us. And we have an alligator shaped toothbrush holder. If that's not awesome, I don't know what is.

Do you paint nudes? I kid. My calves would make the "rest of me" look tiny. Not that it needs any help.

My first freelance job with a major company came through today and has me studying traditions of ten major universities at their games and illustrating in a style I enjoy doing. Yeah, it's football, but it's a lot of fun to research and it's one step closer to hockey/sports illustration than I was before. I'm super excited.
