And put your load right on me

[cyrano]

Last night at about eleven, ToastRoot@StatelyWayneManor announced that he was bringing down the house network to install some new hardware. He'd be ready to bring us back online as soon as we spent half an hour rooting around under the bed trying to find disconnected wires.
So that's why this is late.
Anyway. For those who care video night this week will probably be Once Upon a Time in China or Black Mask, both of which NetFlix was kind enough to send me this week.
And I've been asked to run a pick up session of Alchema tomorrow night. Mmmmmm, improv.
Got sick, probably whatever Cari gave Leigh Ann to give to me, but I think I'm on the down side of that. Coughing and drowning in sputum, but the expectorant is clear now. At least I'm not going in for knee surgery, which I just found out (about three minutes ago) my sister is tonight. Apparently she has a mysterious infection that refuses to respond to antibiotics.
The house is in full Hockey Playoffs Fever and I expect Sharky to take up residence in the spare bedroom any time.
See what important things you missed out on by this message's 20 hour delay?
Oh yeah, I'm supposed to mention Emily's going away party on 22 June, and to post URLs for a couple of articles that the 'mate sent to me a while back. Now that Hockey Playoffs Fever has incubated, they are again especially relevant.

Forwards tend to play for about a minute of game clock time each shift; I don't know how long defensemen shifts are, but it's about the same. Average playing time is probably around 15-20 minutes of actual game time in a 60 minute game, with some players only playing about 8-10, and some pushing 30 minutes.

Which doesn't sound like a lot, until you think about the fact that they're often skating full tilt for that time, and trying not to be turned into mash paste. :)
