I didn't want to be the one to create yet another Fanpost, since I reportedly clogged up the system with my multiple World Cup threads/just kidding/sorta', but my request for someone/anyone to create a July OT Thread #2 went unanswered. Since you can't see July OT Thread #1 on the main page anymore, I thought this might be necessary. If the powers-that-be disagree, please let me know.
I don't have a whole lot more to say, except that the summer is dragging without hockey! And I get to play hostess to my dude's family next week. The house needs a ridiculous amount of cleaning, organization, and preparation. My cat is 18-years old now and drooling incessantly, which should make for a fun topic of conversation for our houseguests.

Does anyone here watch Rob Dyrdek’s Fantasy Factory?? It’s just about the dumbest but hilarious show on the planet. I can’t seem to get enough of it. I actually even bought season 1…:)

Rob Dyrdek’s Fantasy Factory? Nope. I need more hilarity in my life. Will check it out :)
My cat’s also mostly blind and deaf, and requires heavy medications to stay not-crazy.
Still feisty, though.

its definitely one of those shows for a certain type of humor. Its production company is the same as Jackass but its not all the same funniness.
Poor kitty….:( I don’t really mind cats but that is one thing about them that kinda turns me off is the fact that they can turn on you at any time….you can be petting them one minute and then the next they’ll be clawing your face off while hissing at you. I’m much more of a dog person though I do like cats.

Holy cats you watch it too??
Did you see last nights ep?!!??!? Where everyone got a Drama mask??? Chanel looked the best!!! I’m sure my neighbor hated me last night I could not stop laughing at how funny it was.
When Drama slammed the go-cart at like 60 degrees into the ramp and stopped stone cold….just the look on his face set me off for like 10 minutes.
The problem is now it conflicts with The Best Thing I Ever Ate so i have to flip back and forth or stay up extra late to watch.

That was last weeks season opener
I wonder if they just repeated it.
I do watch it. I cant skate, I dont understand skate culture, But I love the way Rob just projects positivity, and spends a ton of money on junk just to have fun! He’s like a microcosm of the dot-com boom, but with more fun stuff.

yea the skateboard car was last week
this week was Reckless Drama. I don’t get skate culture either but you’re right they’re the epitomy of making the $$$ and spending it wrecklessly. Plus their reactions and Rob’s ideas are just so out of this world insane you can’t help but get suckered in. Like poor Big Cat is now sitting in a cage LOL! Or even just the names of his dog beefy and meaty is just so hilarious.

I have a strange confession to make – I started “boycotting” TV in 2001 (long story), but made an exception for Hockey only a few years ago since I missed it terribly. So I know nothing about TV shows, I think I have a sense of what Survivor is from word-of-mouth. That’s a show, right? And American Idol – is that still a show? I only know about “Peep Show”(I fugging love Peep Show!) because my British friends forced me to watch and become addicted. I never know what’s going on in pop culture, but I’m liking that I’m becoming less of a hippie these days, and more willing to be advertised to by the corporate media conglomerates. I appreciate the advice on what to watch, because it’s like I’ve been living in a log cabin for all these years…!$%!

I totally didn’t read that as master distractor…..ANYWAYS, Jen, you should find shows that you like. I’m more of a horror mystery blood and guts nut so i tend to follow Bones. OOH OOH there’s this show called How i Met your Mother that’s really awesome. It’s not all blood and guts just funny. Community is pretty funny only because i heard someone say bagels.
I suggest staying away from American Idol and big brother and survivor. It’s all bull. Most of them are staged, but have followers anyways.

Hehe, thanks :) I can’t seem to watch anything but sports, but I know there’s a lot more out there :) I miss the Antiques Roadshow, is that still on? :|
by JenLovesHockey on Jul 20, 2010 4:51 PM PDT up reply actions
Of course it’s still on! And in stunning high definition!
I’ve never gotten much into the reality show craze, though one show I’ve loved for several years is Top Chef, and a new favorite is Work of Art. Both on Bravo (current seasons on right now). Work of Art’s particularly interesting conceptually—put a dozen or so artists in a house together and give them challenge after challenge, in different media (such as designing a book cover to creating a team-made outdoor installation piece). There’s a lot of art school/art world b.s. to wade through, but I’ve found it really entertaining.
I’m kind of annoyed by Work of Art – the contestants are just weird, and I don’t see how a lot of what they create can be considered art. And the judges’ interpretations are just odd sometimes – like one didn’t know what one piece was saying because it was too literal. I mean, seriously? I just think art is too subjective to be judged. That, and I just don’t get most art.

Art is too subjective to be judged for the most part, yes, but some art really IS bad art. {{Shudders}}
by JenLovesHockey on Jul 20, 2010 5:48 PM PDT up reply actions
Oh yeah, it certainly can be annoying, but compared to some of the more loathsome contestants on Top Chef, I find these artists to be kind of fascinating to watch. Maybe it’s just the way their personalities are showcased on the show.
And I do think their work would be much better if they had more time for each challenge and more time in between the challenges. The episode where they had to create something “shocking,” for instance; those pieces were pretty awful across the board, but if they had more time to conceive of the work, maybe they’d be better.
Oh and about the judging? That one little guy has the biggest hard-on for Miles. It’s a bit much.
That looks like something my toddler would make….can i sell his scribbles as masterpieces now?!

Antiques Roadshow can now be watched in HD??? Okay, I’m so there.
I’ll check out Work of Art, it does sound interesting. But yes, I know what you mean about art-school people (I’m related to them) and I’ve spent my life making art while trying to avoid the elitist, pretentious art school weirdos, but they’re there. It is what it is. Artists don’t often tend to play well together from what I’ve seen, so I’d expect some interesting personality dynamics on a show like that.
by JenLovesHockey on Jul 20, 2010 5:40 PM PDT up reply actions
I think part of the reason I like Work of Art so much is because I love watching the b.s. of the art world in that show…as a sort of diversion from the b.s. of the writing world, which is (sort of) where I reside. I say sort-of because I now know too much about the “literary world” and know one person who has become part of the “special” crowd even though he was my classmate in grad school (and I don’t think his writing is generally far above the proficient level). So there are all the questions about hard work and talent, if they can get you someplace if you don’t have the connections.
And watching these folks in the art world, it’s kind of a pleasure to see another world (other than mine) in which a similar (yet different) form of b.s. is so prevalent.
My sister’s a writer; her graduate degree is in creative writing, so I do know a little bit about the douchebaggy world of writers. The art world is probably more douchebaggy, though, from what I’ve seen …but most self-proclaimed artists are actually more ditzy than anything else. Not much talent is needed to make do well in the industry, and talent sure doesn’t come walking out of an MFA program. I’m definitely going to check out this show you mentioned. It never gets tiring to laugh at the kinds of people I deal with…!
by JenLovesHockey on Jul 20, 2010 9:47 PM PDT up reply actions
It’s amazing how many people now have graduate degrees in creative writing. Too many, I should say, in terms of the competition it creates for publishing and teaching jobs, but I’m just one of the masses, so I can’t really talk.
And I can believe what you say about art students coming out of MFA programs. I actually lived with one a few years ago, before he went for his MFA, and I can’t say a whole lot for his talent (especially in his main field of filmmaking).
I also have a beef with modern art. I just don’t get much of it, I suppose, and prefer realist paintings and such, but after observing stuff just last week at a museum it really, really seems like having a compelling story—a way for people to conceive of your piece—is much more important than the quality/talent itself.
Anyway, I’m looking forward to hearing what you think of Work of Art, considering your perspective. The most recent episode’s on Hulu.com—not officially television, I suppose.
by Timorous Me on Jul 20, 2010 11:51 PM PDT up reply actions
I watched one episode of that work of art show
And I found some of the art ok, some of it was bad.
Having said that, I am a huge fan of Grass Roots art, so what do I know? My favourite TV show is Rare Visions and Roadside Revelations. It’s a pbs show on KCSM. They air it every night at midnight.
It’s basically three dudes in a minivan who drive around and visit ‘Outsider’ artists.
Butch Anthony is probably one of my favourites that they have visited. Although the Boyer Gallery is pretty special too

I remember seeing that show occasionally during the year I spent down in Kansas/Southwest Missouri—haven’t seen it since, though, out here in Ohio. But it was always fascinating to see what kind of art they found—some of it quite peculiar!
Yeah!
KCPT is the station that funds the show so it makes sense you saw it in Kansas.
I’m not sure why it’s not on regular PBS. Other than that they have to make air time to show endless repeats of cooking shows and ‘real’ art shows.

I have a huge beef with most modern art as well. A lot of it requires no talent, no thought, no real work, but is simply “birthed by inspiration.”
A good friend bought me an SFMOMA membership and I have yet to use it, because most of the art displayed there is terrible! Mark Rothkos and such. In my field of metalwork & jewelry it gets even more silly – the “conceptual” pieces which are unwearable, impractical, and even ugly.
Yes, too many people have creative writing degrees, and my sister is overwhelmed by the competition. You need a real thick skin to keep at it in that industry; rejection letters, one after another, for months or years on end cna be heartbreaking.
by JenLovesHockey on Jul 21, 2010 11:21 AM PDT up reply actions
That example you linked to is so awesomely hilarious. And I’m glad you mentioned Rothko—his piece at the Akron museum was probably the one that infuriated me the most. To think of going to a museum with a whole exhibition of his work…
The competition is ridiculous now in creative writing—it’s so hard to get into these literary journals that basically no one reads that it sometimes feels futile. But persistence can, I suppose, pay off to some extent; my girlfriend (also a fiction writer) just got a story published by a pretty good journal after it had already been rejected by over 60 other journals (most of them worse than the one that eventually took it). She used to be a very good artist and is getting back into it (and sort of dreams of getting a book published and then going to art school), so it’s been a lot of fun lately to compare these two screwed-up creative worlds.
by Timorous Me on Jul 21, 2010 12:40 PM PDT up reply actions
I always use Rothko as my prime example of talentless sham-artists who “make it” in the industry…!
Congrats on your girlfriend getting published. It seems like it generally takes 60, or 600, rejections before finally getting published. Aaah, so she’s in both the art world and the writing world, good luck to her…!#$%! Screwed up on both sides, I know :)

Time just flew by last year, and every weekend, it was like, ‘maybe next week.’ Aside from Alexander Calder, it would’ve been the only SFMOMA exhibit that I could’ve/would’ve admired. Kahlo was an amazing painter and the imagery in her work is so powerful and somewhat disturbing at the same time. My kind o’ stuff!!!

I’m the same way. Can’t watch anything even remotely within the horror genre, even anything that’s just suspenseful. Had to sleep with the lights on, for 4 nights straight after watching Zodiac (about the Zodiac killer in San Francisco). It wasn’t even a “horror” film!!! “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo” was a really great film, but some of the imagery stayed in my mind for way too long. Us “visual people” just get more affected by those kinds of things than others do.

I went to see 28 days later at the movies
Loved it! Bought it on DVD, but have never watched it!
Same goes for District 9 even! Saw it at the movies, loved it. It’s on tv all the time, but I always change the channel because I know what’s coming.
I saw Zodiac, and it was very violent. The scene from Lake Berryessa really stuck in my head. My wife ducked out after that, even though the movie had Jake Gyllenhall in it!

I like “Extras” too actually, I don’t know how I forgot about that. And “Summer Heights High” from Australia. British and Australian comedy just tends to be funnier than what we’ve got here.

I never had PMS in my life ‘til I turned 30. I was such an insensitive a-hole, back when I was in operations management and employees wanted to go home early because of cramps, I’d be like “Nope. Cramps? Suck it up, honey – how are you gonna procreate if you can’t handle cramps!?” I was such an ass!!! But now I’m like “OH THE CRAMPS, THE CRAMPS, HELP ME AAAWWWWA AWWW MAKE IT STOP.”

So since I don't really do much around here
I thought – Why not post something amusing (maybe once a week) that made me laugh or quietly “lawl” to myself?
Here’s a few so far:
I was asked by Rick Astley if he could borrow my Pixar film and I said, “OK. You can have WALL-E, Toy Story and Finding Nemo, but I’m never gonna give you Up.” (See what was done there? Hilarity)
I feel the same way at my work – even though I don’t work at a fortune 500 company.

For my stoner/gamer (and people who make fun of us) friends. It’s so true though.
There’s a bear in the way. – Again, I would have been smacked by my parents if I did this.
For the easily amused; a fat kid getting hit in the face with a ball. I had to watch this 3 times in a row because it is so amazing.
And finally for my nerdist people – 9 Geeky (and I mean really geeky) Wedding Invitations.
That should be enough to keep this post off topic for about…say…5 minutes?

In terms of sports games, the EA’s NHL series is pretty good, and seems to be more popular on the PS3 for some reason. And Sony’s MLB XX: The Show is easily the best baseball video game there is. (Some people don’t particularly like baseball video games, but that’s a different matter.)
As for regular stuff, I’d go with the Uncharted series, probably the best single player experience on any console. Ratchet & Clank is good if you’re a fan of platform/action stufff. A Crack in Time is probably one of the better ones.
LittleBigPlanet is a fun platformer, where you also get to design your own levels. I don’t own it but have played it and have found it quite entertaining. ModNation Racers is supposed to be the same thing for kart racing, but I haven’t played it.
Other stuff I’ve heard is good: God of War 3 (they also have 1 and two available together for the PS3 if you haven’t played them before). Valkyria Chronicles, Resistance 1 & 2.
Other non-exculsive stuff: Batman Arkham Asylum, Fallout 3, Mass Effect 2 and Dragon Age: Origins

It's not Microsoft's game at all.....
EA published and BioWare developed the game. They might have some exclusivity deal (doesn’t explain how PC got the game on the same day as 360 since it’s not a GFW title), but I’m not too sure why it’s not on PS3. I think BioWare has said they want to bring the game to PS3.

Bioware has never implied that they’ll bring it to PS3 from anything I’ve seen. The first ME was a GFW game I believe, if not it was at least an MS exclusivity deal.
I don’t see why they’d ever port ME2 over without bringing over 1. I wouldn’t hold my breath for 3 either.

Stayed down in the VIP sections and also in the box seats. It’s a beautiful park but I haven’t been for a few years. I hope they are cleaning up around the area still. It’s close to gaslighter but still a little sketchy in some placed.

CT, San Diego is just one of the awesomest cities.
Coyote Cafe n Old Town is the best. My wife and I always have breakfast there when we go down.
Also, if you want a littl Cul-Chah….check out Acqua Al 2 in Gaslamp. Pricy, but the BEST italian food you can get outside of Florence….and that’s because their sister Restauraunt is IN florence. When we were there on our honeymoon (Florence, that is), we were blown away when we walked in to Acqua, and saw PADRES gear everywhere. Our last trip to SD we wnt to Acqua SD, and the food was to die for, just like in florence. even the wines were the same.
That said, San Diego would be even more awesome if the NHL moved the Coyotes over there.
I’d move in a heartbeat.
But no live games = unhappy me during Hockey season. =(

Oh wow, I just went to Coyote Cafe for dinner last night! The California burritos are awesome, although parking is a bitch.
I usually stay right on Mission Beach, so I love going down Ocean Front Walk to Belmont, which is a Boardwalk type of place. Some good places to eat, and a lot of cheap touristy shops. Oh, and Luigi’s at the Beach – that’s a staple for our family. That and a sticky bun place that’s just off of Mission Boulevard – it’s not a trip to San Diego without either. And then sitting out on the porch, people watching, and seeing the same characters that you see every year (like Slo Mo – I swear, I’ve been seeing that guy roller blade down the walkway for over a decade).
Oh, and Sea World. Gotta love Sea World. Overpriced, and I can probably recite the Wild Arctic spiel word-for-word by now, but it’s one of those places that you never grow out of.
I love San Diego too. But yeah, the lack of a hockey scene here sucks.

Last night’s A’s and Giants games were fun.
"Dodger fans aren’t happy when foul balls get into their section, because it interferes with their playing with the beachball"- Mike Krukow
The Giants game was epic. Just a classic rivalry game. It’s amazing how the east coast media brigade ignores the glorious Giants-Dodgers rivalry. I ignore ESPN at all costs (except when I can’t, like with the Open Championship), but I’ve kept checking all year to see if they’d televise a single Giants-Dodgers game (or a Giants game at all), but no dice. Not even on the MLB Network, which is so much more tolerable than ESPN.
Thank goodness I’ve been getting MLB Extra Innings for free this season—I think there was some confusion over my payment for Center Ice and they never shut off the channels (which are shared for baseball and hockey) after the 2nd round of the playoffs.
was at the A’s game when they won in the 10th. Super sweet to see BoSox fans not enjoy the game.

If you’re by AT&T, Momos and Slanted Door are great. Also Tres Agaves is top shelf. Up near Ghiardelli (sp.?)

I’ve also come to believe that the cat’s a Washington Capitals fan.

Now these are words I like to hear! I appreciate the sentiment; it’s kind of amazing how sometimes you’ll literally be talking to people and they say shit about height…while you’re standing right in front of them (and not fulfilling their requirements).
That said, Marian, you’re in the clear since you actually are tall. I would find it odd as a guy (at first, at least) to be dating a significantly taller woman. I have to say, any old Seinfeld episode where George has fantasies about being with taller women cracks me up.
Oh and Jen, keep your misanthropic ways coming! Maybe I just need to chill out—but admittedly I am currently living in the Midwest, so help me god—but if I dare to even leave the house the odds are really high that I’m going to (in my head or out loud, if I’m in the car) shout about people being idiots for one reason or another. I’m glad this thread has reminded me of yet another reason to feel that way.
Oh you’re in the Midwest! I don’t feel short here in CA, since there’s so much ethnic diversity, and thus, a huge range of body types. I mean, I AM short, but the funny thing is I’m told that I don’t “act” like a short person (nor do I ever remember that I’m short), and that I have “way too much testosterone packed into such a small frame!”…, so I seem taller. (A burly, tattooed instructor at motorcycle school told me that) haha
Yes, I agree – since Marian’s tall, it totally makes sense to want to date taller guys. I just don’t get the 5’1" women who won’t give a 5’8" guy a chance. “Oh and he must look like Brad Pitt and be a millionaire.” I just think that’s so ’tarded!!!
Timorous, definitely don’t worry about your height. Especially – as long as you carry yourself with class and assertiveness (as long as it doesn’t go too far like the “dick issues” guys who overdo the assholish aggression in an attempt to compensate for… something! Probably my fave Shark (or at least in the top three) is Scott Nichol. He definitely doesn’t carry himself like a smaller guy on that team! And plus, lots of hot guys aren’t tall at all :)

Oh, and yes the people who’ll talk about height right to your face or in your presence are either assholes, or they’re socially retarded :) I can’t tell you how many women have said to me, “Oh you Asian women have such small eyes!” And I’m quick on the trigger, "I know! But you have such a huge schnozz! Are you gonna get that taken care of? " I’m such an asshole :) !!! (Well only when someone sorta’ kinda’ deserves it….!!!)

Ha ha, yes, everyone out here is cornfed. It’s worse the closer you get to the heart of the heart of the country. A year in Kansas a couple years ago was, uh, interesting, especially when my half-Chinese g/f visited my town of 5,000 people. Let’s just say that as someone who spent his first 24 years in California, I don’t dig the homogeneity or conspiracy-minded conservatives or gun-toting rednecks. Enough stereotypes? They’re true enough, LOL.
Oh and yeah, I really like Scott Nichol too—but he does play with a little bit of a chip on his shoulder! Remember after that hit by Maxim Lapierre last year that took out Nichol? His reaction was priceless.
Timorous, I totally remember that hit on Scott Nichol and yes his reaction was priceless! He’s still one of my fave players though – I’ll never forget when he literally just took down Z. Chara when they were all crowding around the net during a stoppage in the game. Chara’s like a foot taller than Nichol, too!
I had to go to Terre Haute, Indiana a few years ago, and believe it or not, people were really cool to me! They didn’t even seem surprised that I spoke English! I know what you mean about the Midwest, though. My guy’s family just flew in from there last night. We’ll be having steak and other “American” food for the next few days, and there will be no talk of politics or religion, if we want to avoid an ugly argument! Not that there are conservatives here in CA, but it’s defintiely more balanced in terms of ideologies, political viewpoints, etc.

Terre Haute! Ha ha. I’ve only been there a few times, but I randomly set my first published short story in that town. Safe to say it’s not my best work, but it is online. Hm.
Anyway, Terre Haute isn’t that bad; I actually found some pretty good sushi there in one stop I made crossing the country. It’s like, how fresh can that fish be?? But it was some of the best sushi I’ve had in all the Midwest.
And maybe I’ve turned into something of a food snob, but it really is hard to get good food out here (particularly if it’s not fried). Ethnic food especially. You get your hopes up and almost always end up disappointed. That’s the good thing about Indian buffets, though—it’s hard not to enjoy.
But seriously, how hard is it to make a good pizza?! I’m planning a road trip that will take me through New York in a couple weeks, though, so that will briefly satisfy that craving. NY pizza is soooooo the best. Anyone willing to challenge me on that?!
Played hostess for the past few days, and missed out on all the fun FTF banter! :P
I’m a food snob, but will happily eat off a taco truck – as long as it’s a “good” taco truck.
NYC pizza probably is the best, but I do love me a good Chicago style deep-dish.

Oh, I totally miss good street food. You could even get that in Pittsburgh. And good Mexican food? People just do not get it in the Midwest!
I can get behind a good deep dish (that sounds unfortunately sexual, I see now, but refuse to change it), but it’s barely even pizza. Like a whole different thing altogether.
Two weeks till I’m eating real Thai food in Philly, hopefully good seafood in Cape May, folding my pizza in NY/NJ, and maybe eating a real pastrami sandwich at Katz’s. I could get on a whole rant about the way they do pastrami and corned beef in the Midwest (too thin! where’s the fat?!), but I’d better stop here.
Midwesterners and Mexican food
I SO know what you mean – we went to this great Mexican restaurant nearby (on “mariachi-karaoke night,” it was so much fun!) and of course everything was too spicy for them.
Gotta admit, though – I loved eating in Bangkok when I was there a few years ago – but, everything was way too spicy for me, and with the 98 degree heat and 99% humidity, I was a total wimp about the spiciness! It was pathetic, I was the only one walking around with sweat stains at 6 in the morning.

Bangkok—one of my ultimate foodie destinations. I’m jealous, even if stuff was that spicy.
Maybe it’s wrong that many of my top travel destinations are based on food. If I ever have the money to burn, yeah, I need to get to Europe and parts of Canada (Montreal and Vancouver), but I think Singapore might come next. The mixing of Indian, Chinese, and Malaysian peoples and food? I’m there.
Indian food is my absolute favorite, which is why I must visit India (and London!) sometime. My dream vacation is the western coast of India. Based on food? Yes-mostly… :)

I’d never had Indian food until I moved to Pittsburgh…six years ago. It was seriously a revelation. Became sort of an obsession, which isn’t necessarily a good thing, what with all the ghee and heavy cream.
I suppose it’s taken root in other ways, too—my favorite contemporary writer (Jhumpa Lahiri) is Indian-American, and I’ve been accused, here in the heart of Ohio, of basically teaching my Intro to Lit. class as an Indian Lit. class. And then the students don’t understand when I go on about the food whenever it’s mentioned in the book!
So I think it’s safe to say we’re on the same page here. I mean, I just love the fact that they’re called “curry houses” in London. And that there are supposedly like 5,000 of them there.
Haha, well, I have an affinity for things that are Indian, and would even walk around in a sari with a bindi on my forehead, if I didn’t think I’d end up being culturally offensive. I even have a tattoo on my back of a Rajasthani henna design, that I got permanently tatted. It’s stuff from India and Germany that I have a tendency to like. I could do without German food, though, except for wurst and saurkraut.

Too funny, these images! I’ve been lucky, in a way, to randomly end up getting to know several Indian people in the past five years—someone in my grad program came over from India (her homemade samosas were the best I’ve ever had) and a few of us actually went with her to this huge Hindu temple just outside of Pittsburgh. That was great. And I had a bunch of Indian students in my SAT prep classes, and then over the past two years worked with an Indian woman—the person I got along with the best at my school—who just retired from teaching. So yeah, I’m right there with you.
As for Germany, well, since I’ve also become a beer snob in the past few years, I’ll give them credit there, though among European beers I probably prefer the Belgian ones made by monks. The cheeses, too, but that’s another story…
Samosas are my favorite middle-of-the-night craving. You’re very lucky to know someone who makes ’em homemade…!!!
I’m a beer snob, too – I’m quite picky, and tend to prefer hefeweizens. If you’re ever in the Bay area, there’s a locla brewery, in Berkeley, that makes the best hefes.

I’m short – and I totally don’t mind short guys in the least bit – but for whatever reason, for the last decade or so, I’ve only ended up dating guys who were at least 5’11" – but I’m not even trying to date tall guys!!! My girlfriends hate it. Maybe it’s my nonchalance about it all, I don’t know. It’s like Murphy’s law for my friends who “absolutely must” date super-tall guys – they just seem so rigid, in general, that it’s a turnoff for any guy, tall or not tall…!

You ladies of FTF are so awesomely empowered and hilarious. But being a Sharks fan can’t hurt—I mean, as a fan have you ever doubted for a second that you could find a guy by just stepping into the Tank with a Pavs jersey on?
It’s a bit harder for some of us. I don’t live near San Jose. Sharks fans here are slim pickings, and every guy I was with previously didn’t understand why I watched something as “boring” as hockey. My husband wasn’t into hockey when I was first with him, but once we got cable I told him that he wasn’t allowed to touch the remote when the game was on. It took 1 season to get him into the Sharks.

Back when I didn’t know my arse from my elbow, I had a “You must be this tall” requirement but looking back I realize that it wasn’t really about them but about me and my insecurities.
These days I’m not so picky when it comes to height. Example: One of my exes was an inch shorter than me, but we got along really well. And more even heights=great smooching opportunities.
Haha, well since you are a tall woman, it does make a lot of sense that you had dated only tall guys for a while. But yes, there are a variety of benefits to dating a guy who’s about the same height. Not to be too graphic, but the whole stair-sex thing becomes unnecessary when you’re of the same height, LOL! :P

I wore heels for 6 hours yesterday
and a few the day before.
The tendonious connections on the anterior sides of both shins hurt so bad it’s hard to walk. I also was awakened to the worst charlie horse I have had in years. Nothing I did made it stop. (pulling your toes back usually works wonders) I just had to wait for it to stop spasming. It is now a small rock disguising itself as a calf muscle.
But the thing is I look damn good in heels. Which is why I like them. (even if they are hard to walk in)
Curse you good looking yet totally unhealthy shoe choices!

Not just the height, they look RIDICULOUS.
last night’s pair was 2.5ish inches but the day before it was closer to 4. I prefer kitten heels but damn are they hard to find. I had one pair that was great but a size too small. Got rid of them and haven’t been able to find a new pair since. Also, pointy toes are the work of the devil. They look hot but they hurt. Rounded toes are soooooooooo much better.
Similarly hard to find cute flats. No one makes shoes for gals with narrow heels.

And height issues.
I’m pretty tall as women go (5’9") and so I always have to contemplate the height issues. With tall heels, I’m 5’13". More walkable heels, I’m still pushing 5’11".
Had a blind date tonight with a FOAF. I know he’s only 5’10". He knows I’m 5’9". Pre date, I wondered if I should play to his possible vanities or to my own (because heels do nice things for my legs & arse)?
5’ 13" meaning 6’ 1"? hehe
At 5’ 4" I don’t have to worry about being too tall. While I enjoy being taller, I prefer flats for daily wear over heels. It just feels so much better for my feet, legs, knees and back.

Heels are horrible for women to wear. All kinds of problems. But back when I had an office job, I did get a considerable amount of glee out of showing up to meetings in my biggity heels and towering over all of my shorter coworkers.
RESPECT MY AUTHORITY!
These days I’m bumming it in sneaks most of the time.
Haha, yes when I was in operations management, I sorta’ had to wear heels to establish my authority, especially when I had to deal with local law enforcement on some occasions. They’d get all up in my face as if they could intimidate me, but then they realized that I’m not easy to intimidate(!), and then with my aggressive gait in heels, they’d really back off :)

Since I started running regularly, I’ve dropped some weight and welcomed back my long MIA gastrocnemius. Therefore, I went on a bit of a flea market shopping extravaganza – buying dresses and mega-high heels. Though when I opt to wear them, I’m definitely cognizant I’ll be spending the majority of my time sitting/standing more so than walking.

It doesn’t surprise me that there are so many violations, if you ever notice at HP Pavilion, most of the food vendors wear badges that say they are volunteers. I can’t expect much from people who are giving their time freely.
What does surprise me are the kind of violations! Mice droppings and roaches. Gross.
Surprisingly the Islanders had a clean bill of health! Given the state of the arena, and the team, you’d expect much more.

Help me OT-wan-Kenobi!
So I need/want to take some classes to update mai skillz in design. I can do photoshop and illustrator just fine, but CSS and Flash, well, I need help! Here is my dilemma;
Community college is MUCH CHEAPER, but the session are long (10-16/18 weeks) and they offer varying levels of what I need. They also have prereqs, that, while useful, would slow me down tremendously. It’s not that I couldn’t learn anything new from a 2D art class, it’s just that it adds significant time to my attempt to gain new skills in a time frame I deem useful.
The UC Extension offer classes I need, with no song and dance to get around prereqs, and the sessions are the perfect length for people who work and are way over school (like me. I have my BFA. I really don’t want to be a full time student again.) BUT they’re extremely expensive.
So, do I explore all the JC’s design programs, and do the certificate song and dance (or AA/AS)/try and negotiate my way into taking just what I need and P/NP or do I just suck it up, pay through the nose, and get the knowledge I desire quickly?

the less time you spend in classes you don’t necessarily need the more time you have to find the job you need/want/are looking for. In the end the money/time thing might just end up equaling each other but I believe in quality of life. Just my 2 cents.

yeah I way prefer less time in class. I don’t need 16 weeks to learn skills like this. It’s not advance calculus or anything. (everyone tells me calc is easyb, but I don’t by it)

Calc 1 was easy...
LOL any further than that I couldn’t handle it. It killed my math love. :)
High sticking, tripping, slashing, spearing, charging, hooking, fighting, unsportsmanlike conduct, interference, roughing… everything else is just figure skating.

It might be the best route to just suck it up and pay more for less time. If you have an opportunity like that take it.

UC extension is extremely expensive; I only took a couple classes because my former company paid for it! I wouldn’t have paid for it myself at that time (I was br-roke!) but it was REALLY worth it. The instructors were amazing and there was hardly any time wasted. Got to the nitty-gritty right away.
