I was just talking about this movie to my students. It's such a horribly bad movie with amazingly iconic 80s music. I prefer Footloose overall, but great soundtracks from both. We were discussing stunt doubles and how they don't necessarily do dangerous stunts for the actor. Sometimes it's just...

McDavid hits 100 assists. Don't know if it's a generational thing, but I am not as excited for McDavid as I am for Crosby. Even though, if there is someone to give Crosby a run for his money it's him. Saw a post earlier today of all the players this season that would've won the Art Ross back in...

How's this going? I've stagnated a bit on mine. I should be up to 72, but still stuck at 60. While consistency is the key it's also the hardest aspect. I took some days off, like 3, and was surprised to see I struggled to reach said 60. So I didn't push it (pun intended). Overall I feel great...

I'll post about the stuff I watched recently later, but I rewatched Top Gun Maverick with my mom, cuz she hadn't seen it yet. I bring it up because I noticed a little detail which I am now wondering whether it was on purpose. When Cruise goes back to the bar and reconnects with Jennifer Connolly...

When I used to bike everywhere I had a bunch of power metal on my mp3 player. It was the right mix of heavy, epic and inspirational to keep me going. Now, I just put random vids on Youtube while doing my push-ups. I've been watching an over 3 hour video on Greek Mythology in chunks. Just got...

I've been curious about this one. I liked her own n Enola Holmes and this one looks fun to. Critics seem to hate it but it looks like an average time waster which isn't necessarily a bad thing

Welp, he did it. Crosby has 1000 career assists and with his 3 points moved up to 10th all time. He is 9 goals away from 600 and he is 9 points away from 1600. If, and it is a big if, he plays until he is 40 and IF he scores at least 30 goals per season he could pass Lemieux as the Pens all...

Finally watched Cocaine Bear and it was everything I wanted lol. It was nice to have a good, fun action comedy. I wouldn't call it "horror comedy," even though the characters are afraid and running/hiding from a killer bear a la Jason, Michael Myers, etc, because it's much faster paced with...

1. When I was younger the little guy did most of the thinking and yeah, I'd think org chart change request. Now, I'm like, nah, my benefits, peace of mind and job are more important than to worry about work drama. 2. Dude... phrasing!

99.9% No reply IS a reply. If you're lucky and see her in person again, try and strike up a conversation and see how it goes. I know people, myself included, that SUCK at digital contact, like send a message, reply 4 months later. But normal people are pretty good about it so I'd say if you get...

This. Always.

Most companies frown upon fraternizing IF it's a supervisor with an employee. Coworkers of equal status is usually OK. At one job, if a supervisor did date an underling, I mean, minion, i mean, henchman, sorry, henchperson, they would be switched to another team or even another project.

I'm very well aware that enforcers have been dying as a direct result of CTE. I agree that that the league should admit the connection between fighting and CTE. It is laughable how they allow it, but then condemn episodes like that between NJ and NYR as "a circus." So you either allow it or you...

New plan. Fire her. Like just stone cold, "you're work sucks, you're FIRED." She'll leave stunned, and better yet, sobbing. Then go to the local bar where she's going to be drowning her sorrows. She'll confront you like, "Hey, HEY, yeah youuuuu mister BIIIIIG Shot." She's like 4 shots of...

Oh, I understand that. But again, there are no actual enforcers anymore. It's not possible to "fight for a living" anymore. You HAVE TO bring something, anything, else to the table. Also I'd be interested to see how many fights Bob Probert had in his career vs, say, Ryan Reaves. Cuz I guarantee...

Had a highly unproductive weekend. I binged Barbie, Barry and True Detective: Night Country Barbie, exactly what I expected, an entertaining, funny movie. I laughed out loud more than I expected at the intentional and unintentional humor. The movie is fine until it's final act where it's own...

I fell in love with hockey in the mid 90s and a big reason was the fighting. I thought all other major sports were hypocrital about it, especially baseball where dugout emptying brawls seem like a tradition. Being more familiar with soccer the low scoring never bothered me. The U.S has a warped...

Honestly? apathetic. The international media (I've seen Reuters, BBC and TIME) have covered it more than local news. The government is obviously upset, but your average citizen doesn't care. Even though we're in election races for everything, not a single candidate has come out to say anything...

Unfortunately I gave my copy of Dryden's, "The Game," to my brother and can't quote directly, but that is how old, I'm sure it's older, this argument is. It's also at the core of Slapshot. If I remember correctly Dryden says something around the lines of the league admonishes it in public and...

I'm still kicking myself for not going to their show in 2019, because it was on a weekday. Hope they swing by these parts again soon.
