I'm up above 250 blu-rays now. Netflix is for TV, much prefer to use discs for movies still.

Marc - what model is yours?

Looks like the DOTU has a spare Panasonic player I'm going to use for now. This is another gear decision I'd have ended up lingering on for months anyway...

The second period was probably the best back-and-forth hockey I've seen in the playoffs this year. NY just too gritty... Caps needed to close them out before it ever reached a game 7.

Fucking Panasonic blu-ray player bit the dust after only 2.5 years of service.... the urge to splurge for Oppo is strong right now. 103 Darbee?

At this rate it'll come down to whichever team commits the lesser of in-game disasters and can roster a few healthy guys the rest of the way. Lol.

I hated everything about CLE/CHI yesterday. Both teams sucked. Chicago REALLY sucked in the 4th. The ref's sucked. Thibs sucked on setting up their defense for that last shot. It was a shit ending to a shit game and I wished I hadn't watched at all.

Happy birthday Ari!

Happy birthday Shelly!

Collective sighs. I wasn't in front of a TV... was listening to radio stream for the final 5-6 minutes.

Wait. What the fuck.

That Hossa wrister seals it. Fuck you Minnesota motherfuckers!!! C'mon Flames. Put the pressure on those damn ducks.

Very happy to wake up and see that the Flames took one from the Ducks. Keep it up!

We finally broke through the game 3 road curse! Crawford rolled all night and Kaner is still at 1 ppg for playoff career with 120+ games.

Crawford looking much better this round. Wicked shot by Sharp to bridge the gap. Nice work Hawks... Now let's go steal one in MN.

Post-workout: frozen blueberries and cherries, chocolate almond milk, just a touch of vanilla almond milk, almond butter, medjool dates, whole fat organic yogurt, and water. Need to cut the dates into much smaller pieces. The blender was not happy.

Ah the ever-lasting battle between man and booze. Even when I lose, I still win.

This thread died. Bringing it back by reporting on my concoction of frozen strawberries and pitted cherries, chocolate almond milk, almond butter, chia seeds, whole fat organic yogurt, and water. It's not nearly as sweet as the usual smoothies I make, which is good. But I should have used a few ounces less water because it's pretty thin. I seriously love almond butter and chia seeds in smoothies though. Good stuff.

Sometimes these guys just really hit the spot. I wish I hadn't been so distracted by drunken (and no, not my own ) behavior when we saw them live last year. The Avett Brothers - Mignonette

This was a discovery at AXPONA... we inadvertently followed some editorial writer to multiple rooms and he got them to play the same cd. Provided a little perspective which was nice, and the album sounded damn good. Sinne Eeg - Face the Music

What this guy said. Great times man, let me know when your next Kuma's visit will be. Happy birthday bro!

Crazy stuff Stretch and Al. Looks amazing.

Thanks to all the fellas for making it out! I would say that yesterday was a rousing success. I've got the headache to prove it.

A very strong Vesper for Jim.
