are you watching sharknado or what?
― lxy, Friday, 12 July 2013 03:21 (seven years ago) link
lol i need to pay attention sorry
i did not watch sharknado as i do not have cable. i could torrent it, but i am v. bad about watching things. nevertheless, i approve of its existence.
― mookieproof, Sunday, 14 July 2013 04:41 (seven years ago) link
atm i am v. disturbed by the recent judicial decision and nearly as much so by the fact that a close friend vehemently agrees with it
― mookieproof, Sunday, 14 July 2013 04:51 (seven years ago) link
ugh, that's rough. how can it be?
― lxy, Tuesday, 16 July 2013 02:02 (seven years ago) link

mookie, how is your knee, much better i hope.
― estela, Sunday, 11 August 2013 00:48 (seven years ago) link
i haven't done anything about it : /
i mean, it's fine, i can walk okay, just not run
― mookieproof, Sunday, 11 August 2013 03:49 (seven years ago) link
thank you for asking <3
― mookieproof, Sunday, 11 August 2013 08:51 (seven years ago) link
i think about it quite often, i'm glad you can walk on it but can you get it more fixed up than that? or will it slowly heal on its own?
― estela, Sunday, 11 August 2013 12:22 (seven years ago) link
there are stories of ppl whose leg muscles were powerful enough to hold the knee in place, but i doubt i'm one of them at this point. and my left calf is behaving a little oddly.
i should almost certainly have surgery, which will require unprecedented insurance-navigating action on my part.

cat is mad cuddly, maybe because i was away for a couple days this week

i dreamt i somehow became embroiled in a suicide bombing plot devised by my department's marketing team, targeting the oprah winfrey show, the point of which i was never quite clear on. all involved, including all of marketing, plus me, plus mookieproof, were paired into teams of two per car, mookie and me in the lead.
after the pairing no one really talked to the other group members, except mookie wasn't here yet so i had nobody to talk to. i kept trying to tell people i had strong reservations but no one would listen. finally, when everyone was piling on the bus to go to the event i told my friend tammy i wasn't going to do it because i wasn't ready to die.
so they went without me, and i went to lingbert's apartment, where i continued working on the elaborate art piece i was making for my dad for christmas. lingbert asked me a million questions about it which, coming from anyone else would have been facetious, but from lingbert they were perfectly genuine.

to be be clear, mookie, you never actually appeared in the dream, so for all i know you bailed too.

mookie, jergins and i are going to be in your town next week. it may be too much to hope for a meet-up because our time is short and the things are many. but maybe you are proximate to where we will be in bed-stuy and we could arrange a drink on wednesday or friday or saturday?
― lxy, Tuesday, 2 January 2018 21:07 (three years ago) link
that is crazy because i already have plans with another sandboxer on wednesday! could be a fap

i still don't understand the emergency backup goalie
― spite n ease (harbl), Sunday, 23 February 2020 15:03 (one year ago) link
The NHL requires each home team to maintain a list of local non-professional goaltenders, available to either team, who can be used in the exceptional case that one or both of a team's normal goaltenders are injured or unavailable; such a goaltender who fulfills that role is treated as an emergency back–up goaltender.Those on a team's emergency list are given free attendance to home games they are assigned and may also help out as a practice goalie. Emergency goalies are often called from nearby college teams, adult semi-pro/amateur leagues, or the home team's own coaching/facilities staff. If activated for a game, most emergency goaltenders only dress to sit on the bench, as a team's normal back-up takes over; only three emergency goalies have ever seen recorded playing time in an NHL game. Emergency goalies who are activated sign either an amateur or professional tryout contract.

this seems cumbersome. i prefer the baseball method of when you run out of pitchers in the 15th inning put in an outfielder who pitched when he was in high school.
― spite n ease (harbl), Monday, 24 February 2020 21:42 (one year ago) link
Do they get paid or does nhl pitch this as an opportunity for "exposure" and a free ticket?
― toadstool might (tehresa), Tuesday, 25 February 2020 03:48 (one year ago) link
i think they just get free tickets, and like once every five or ten years lightning strikes and someone gets a chance to play in the nhl
i *kind* of agree with harbl, but every baseball player can throw and you don't need special equipment to pitch. also, it's just fun -- i mean some random 42yo dude just got to play in the best league in the world and helped win a game. that's pretty cool
― mookieproof, Tuesday, 25 February 2020 22:23 (one year ago) link
it does give it more of a community feeling, it's true. i recall in the last article i read it said they give the guy $500.
