Good morning

There's always more to learn about Hockey.

by WordsOnIce on Jan 31, 2012 8:39 AM EST reply actions  

I beg to differ on the good part. I forgot to get coffee yesterday at the store so I have no coffee this morning. I was running late due to young’ens being difficult and couldn’t stop to get some on the way in either.

I have broken the new years promise and got a coke because I had to get some caffeine.

I know. I have a diet Pepsi with me today. Last night wasn’t pleasant.

I was feeling sort of ‘off’ all day…just kind of blue and angsty. I get home and find a message on my phone. Now, mind you, I was at MY house. Not my mom’s. I haven’t been in my house for a while because I’ve been house sitting at mom’s house, but there were a few things I wanted, so I went in and saw the message light blinking.

Turns out, a friend of mine died two weeks ago and I didn’t know it. :-/

She was an older lady with some health problems. We’ve been co-volunteers at the local paper together for years and years. I hear now that she fell off the radar for a couple days, so another friend of ours went over to her house with a key and the police, and they found her, unconscious, on the floor by her bed. They figure she’d been there a day, maybe two, in a diabetic coma.

She passed two days later.

I feel…weird about this, especially coming to it like out of a time warp. I’m two weeks behind the emotions of everyone else who knew.

Thanks. She was a really sweet lady, but damn, the last ten years or so for her have been really awful. Lots of death and illness. I hope what peace there may be in the next life, if there is one, is hers now.

Nightmare fuel for Indiana Jones: Pythons taking over the Everglades

People are such assholes

The snakes were released by pet owners into the Everglades, where they started to breed. A female python can lay 100 eggs, though 54 is considered the norm. The study was described as the first to show pythons are causing the decline of native mammals in the Everglades.

that is actually debatable. While some were released, it really started with Hurricane Andrew. So many homes were destroyed that had pet snakes and some breeding operations, as well as a few pet stores and a zoo.

Not this version, there’s one guy who says the study is flawed, but it’s referring to animals getting killed by mercury instead of where the snakes come from.

I’ve seen the Hurricane Andrew theory before too.

Here’s a story that references is

Wildlife experts say the giant snakes, native to Southeast Asia, were being housed in an exotic pet dealer’s warehouse in Homestead, Florida. When the town took a direct hit from Hurricane Andrew, the animal warehouse was destroyed… and many of the 900 Burmese Pythons living there were blown into the Everglades.

I was very sad to stop eating both Chilean Sea Bass and Orange Roughy, as they were exceptionally tasty, but I care more about preserving species than an occasional tasty dinner.

My aunt used to work for the New Zealand Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries, specifically on Orange Roughy. She helped show how seriously the population was being destroyed.

One of the first apps I got when I got a smart phone was that Monterey Aquarium’s safe fish tracker. Also, worth noting, the yummiest fish I ever ate was halibut in Monterey, caught mere feet from where I dined upon it.

Also, speaking of locally tasty fish, I recall reading somewhere recently that we might have another rockfish suspension, which, again, fine with me. If I have to forego rockfish for 5 years to enjoy it for the other 10, it’s worth it.

by Aliceanna on Jan 31, 2012 11:50 AM EST up reply actions  

The thing with Chilean Sea Bass (which isn’t actually a bass, but some other not-as-pretty name) is that it’s supposedly a rather flavorless fish, but what makes it tasty is that it absorbs flavors really well.

I will eat farm raised rainbow trout. By the nature of the kinds of waterways they must be raised in, they don’t have the same issues as farm raised salmon or tilapia with regard to dangerous chemical buildups in their meat.

I love the taste of trout, but I’m so bone-paranoid that I can’t enjoy it. I end up chewing it with my front teeth and getting hardly any flavor at all.

by Aliceanna on Jan 31, 2012 11:57 AM EST up reply actions  

The easy way to fix this is cook it yourself and then debone it after it’s pan fried in butter. Fishbone tweezers work great for the few left behind.

I’ve done it, and there is nothing easy about what you say. Trout can never be fully deboned. That’s just facts. And I have no interest in buying expensive food that requires meticulous preparation that I still will be paranoid about. Too much outlay for not enough payoff.

But you and that tweezer have fun! ;)

Fortunately, I don’t like sushi, so I can feel quite superior about all these sushi eaters destroying fish populations. ;)

I just don’t like the texture of raw fish, and for the rolls, I can’t stand nori, so that lets most of those out. And I only really like jasmine or basmati rice, so I’m not keen on the rice, either.

When I first moved to SF, my coworkers wanted to go out for sushi at least 3 times a week for lunch. Drove me up the wall. I also have never had a satisfying meal of sushi. Maybe a few rolls as an appetizer for something else, but the few times I did rely on sushi for my main meal, I was starving shortly thereafter.

Personally, I’ve found that good sushi is not fishy-tasting – depending on the fish. I can’t stand that taste, which is why I rarely eat cooked fish.

My brother doesn’t like nori either. I don’t even taste it – it’s just something to hold it all together. I might have sushi once every couple weeks – it just doesn’t do a good job of filling me up.

I guess I’m not a fan of the iodine taste, I must be very sensitive to it (though I don’t so much mind in a Speyside single malt, but then, that’s got the fact that it’s scotch going for it ;) ). And I don’t like the texture of nori at all. I’ve either got to eat the whole thing at once and chew forever, or try (and fail) to bite it and have it all fall apart.

Nope, if you look left from third base you see the outfield, not the pitcher. And if his right foot were pointed toward home, there wouldn’t be any grass behind him. And if his right foot were pointed towards home, the line painted outside the foul line (for runner’s purposes) would be to his right, etc etc etc.

Now that my stepmother, the tournament Scrabble player, got herself a Nook with a Scrabble app, I’m regularly getting my ass handed to me at Scrabble, also. Although, of the two games we currently have running, I am ahead of her in one. I do not expect that to last long.

Is there a polite way I can bring up to some upstairs neighbors of mine that they are um…“too loud” in the bedroom? It wouldn’t be so bad if they would move the bed away from the wall, because he’s just pounding and pounding away, and it sounds like construction. Also, they’ve got a young kid, so they always pick the most inopportune times, like 2 am on a weeknight, or 5 am on a Saturday. The other night it was so loud that it woke me up at 2:30 and I couldn’t get back to sleep.

He’s also got a TV with a sound system that is obnoxiously loud. To the point where if he watches action movies, which he does frequently, it can almost make the apartment shake. I’m a pretty fastidious dude that enjoys being quiet very much (I even wear headphones while playing video games), so this drives me up the wall too.

I swear, between this guy, the former upstairs people that did nothing but smoke pot all the time and make our apartment reek of the stuff, and the Bumpuses across the way that let their two nasty little dogs out to run all over the place in the mornings without a leash, I have terrible luck with neighbors.

Glen Coco is trending right now. This might be my favorite TT of all time.

Greetings from cramped row 13 on my flight between St. Louis and Minneapolis. I found out my company will now reimburse for inflight Internet, so I thought, I’ll use that to visit Japers’ Rink. Seems logical to me.

Nice guys finish first, but sometimes the season is awfully long.

Can’t you read? It’s cramped.

Yeah, it’s always amusing when it shows up when people are trying the Beetle Bailey swear. SBN’s auto formatting is annoying/funny that way.

Type whatever you want in there with @ on either side. Like this is “@ this @” without the spaces.

Hi Spidey. How long is the flight?

There's always more to learn about Hockey.

by WordsOnIce on Jan 31, 2012 4:08 PM EST up reply actions  

Left at 2:30, and I think we land at 4:10 – or at least that’s the gate-to-gate schedule.

I think you and I have different definitions of cramped. But that is awesome that you get in flight internet.

I’m on a regional CRJ900. It’s cramped.

I flew on one of those from Lexington to Det. and from ATL to Lexington and I’m 6’4… now THAT’s cramped. you are simply uncomfortable =P lol enjoy the trip.

by Beakers Lab on Jan 31, 2012 4:21 PM EST up reply actions  

From a purely height-differential perspective, that would be fair.

And, with that, I have to shut down my electronics.

I wish everyone an uncramped night.
