Oh, feet.

I was gonna go to the bar and have dinner but none of my bats fit so staying home
Kinda want a burger though, you guys.
"It happened in the moment, and it happened." - Carlos Gomez
Not from the bar
But I can order from Green Mill
"It happened in the moment, and it happened." - Carlos Gomez
the real question is,
how do you decide what to have for meals during the offseason?

Oh, we order from there all the time
And by we I mean my parents and I when I’m home. I usually get the tortellini. I should look for the burger next time.

It does suck
There’s a lot of good things I have to avoid.
Once every couple of months I eat a big thing of lasagna and let myself swell up because it’s so good. Also because I’m using my single data point to test the theory that if you occasionally expose yourself to your allergen, it won’t get worse.

I heard
Allergies develop to things you’re around too much, as in pet hair. People with pets eventually become allergic…
"It happened in the moment, and it happened." - Carlos Gomez
Well then I'm screwed...
I’ve bee around a dog since I was a month old and a cat since I was 3 years old…

Yeah I've had cats for my entire life
Still have one, and I am mildly alergic. Didn’t used to be.

At one point I think
We had like 9 cats.

I have heard the opposite... from doctors who research this stuff
In third world countries where they feed all the babies peanut butter as a nutritional supplement, no one is allergic to peanuts. In first world countries where parents are told to keep peanuts away from babies for the reason you just gave, peanut allergies are on the rise.
Also, on an anecdotal level, I’m allergic to dogs, but I get inured to my parents dog once I’ve been home for a few days.

Yeah, I'm not a doctor
That’s why I went to law school.
"It happened in the moment, and it happened." - Carlos Gomez
I'm not a doctor either
I just used to work with a lot of them on medical research.
I now take all medical research with a grain of salt. Clinical trials have a lot of flaws. That’s why with the allergy stuff I just go with what seems to make sense for me and my allergies.

Anyone else super pumped for Karl's birthday tomorrow?
"It happened in the moment, and it happened." - Carlos Gomez
What? No
Karl Welzein. I hope Karen sees his missed connections ad on CraigsList

You don’t follow DadBoner? You’re missing out on the bold flavors.

I don't have a twitter account... assuming that's twitter
I use twitter’s search function to confirm earthquakes and that’s about it.
by ColossusOfRhode on Oct 22, 2011 8:28 PM EDT up reply actions
That sucks
DadBoner is this twitter account that tweets about the on-going saga of Karl Welzin. He’s a middle aged guy estranged from his wife, he drinks a lot, he eats a lot of fast food, and sleeps on the toilet at work.
I think everyone on Twitter follows him.
"It happened in the moment, and it happened." - Carlos Gomez
Last week
Karl hooked up with some woman he thinks is named Karen, who apparently had amazing “chest beefers”. Now he is trying to find her. His birthday is tomorrow, I bet that’s when we find out what happened to Karen. I also think Dave is going to throw him a surprise party.

It is really epic
Some blogger on the Huffington Post has labeled it a “profound literary construction”.
He always says “you guys” and “bold flavors.” Chili’s even started a new ad campaign based on “bold flavors”

i’ll look at the account, but probably not following it…

Twitter is pretty awesome
I resisted until earlier this year, and I love it. So much better than Facebook. Facebook is annoying.
"It happened in the moment, and it happened." - Carlos Gomez
Haha yeah, i joined twitter sometime in March I think and I'm addicted to it.
I can’t even go on facebook for more than like a half hour at a time maybe once a month or so now that I’m on twitter

I can't go on facbook for more than a couple minutes
Unless I start talking to someone..
I’m concerned for my creative writing professor, we chat about our depression on there often but he hasn’t been on for a while now. I think he’s in the looney bin again.
"It happened in the moment, and it happened." - Carlos Gomez
Yeah, that's how can spend a half hour on there.
Otherwise I just go on, see if anyone wrote on my wall, see if I have friend requests, see who’s online, and then log out and run back to twitter

Yeah, Twitter is sort of like microblogging
Sort of like a giant chat-room too. Can learn about things real fast on there—I remember hearing Osama bin Laden was dead hours before it was announced. Someone leaked it on twitter.

When the earthquake hit Thursday afternoon, we weren't sure what had just happened
So I went to twitter and searched “earthquake” and there were people tweeting about it within seconds, confirming that someone hadn’t just dropped something heavy upstairs.

Also got a salad and a low-calorie chicken pizza. Yum, those things are good.
Today is my cheat day, I decided.

Major stress, followed by depression, now trying to get more active and out of it. Especially so my clothes fit again.
"It happened in the moment, and it happened." - Carlos Gomez
I know how that goes
Life sucks sometimes. The only way to get out of depression is to decide to stop being depressed. And unfortunately, no one else can help you with that. At least, that was my experience.

I've been depressed a lot of my life
I kinda know what you mean.
I feel a lot better exercising again, especially strength training. I have EA Active 2 for the Wii and it’s freaking awesome.
"It happened in the moment, and it happened." - Carlos Gomez
Exercise is good
Having something countable to focus on that you can control (i.e. minutes spent exercising, points earned on Wii Fit or whatever) is a good distraction from the Black Dog.

I went for a run, shot around for an hour, and then another run this morning.
Granted they were short runs but I wanted a big dinner too, but I was too lazy to make anything else. I’m just gonna have some cold pizza after this inning

haha sorry, shot some hoops for an hour...
better? and my shooting hoops is pretty strategic.. Bunnies for 15 minutes slowly going around the rim, layups (full sprints from the end of my drive way which is the same length as a basketball court) for a half hour, 10 minutes of free throws, and then a few minutes of three pointers, and then free shooting then a fast run around the block, then jog, then walk around the driveway for 5 minutes to cool down. I do the fast run before shooting around too

My college definitely did not allow any animals. My roommate and I were going to get a chinchilla once but then we went to the pet store and she got freaked out.

MIT
My dorm was old and falling apart. We could do pretty much whatever we wanted… like build a robotic beertap in the wall behind the fire extinguisher. The only reason cats weren’t allowed on all floors was that the dorm government voted to keep the dorm at least half cat-free for students with allergies.

I went to NYU. Had some friends who snuck a kitten in for a little bit.

I’m saving up for an iPod touch (which my parents won’t get me) and have been putting some away for college savings lately otherwise I was going to buy it today. I used self restraint at the store. It was a first.

Saving for college is good
College loans now a days are a disaster and ruin a lot of lives. It is very sad. That bubble will probably burst soon though, just like the mortgage bubble, and then we will all be fucked.

I really want Nishi to get it together this year though. He seemed to be really nervous a lot, but I’m sure some of those nerves will cool down this season. I’m pulling for him to do a lot better this season. I even have a Nishi shirt I wear all the time

I don't really think he does.
The only reason anyone thinks Plouffe had a good bat was because it was compared to Nishi’s.
Nishi had an excuse for struggling. Plouffe has been around for a long time, and he STILL sucks.
Nishi was also a lot better on defense. I know he had as many errors as Plouffe, but Nishi also made a lot of plays Plouffe would never be able to make. Plouffe often just looked lazy out there.

Yeah
They are annoying.
Saw they on the news pleading in front of a city counsel to allow them to put up tents because “It’s cold and we need shelter from the elements.”
Uhhh… Then go home, Einstein.

There was something last week about them having tents up
Don’t really know if it is big or not.

They've banned camping in SF and Oakland
But people are doing it anyway. Based on what I just saw, something went down in Oakland today.

The tent issue was about police not being able to see inside.
So they started putting up clear tents. Haven’t heard about any issue with it since then.
They won't allow those either
I think it’s kinda dumb. It’s going to be so cold no one can stay outside all night anyway.
I ALSO think it’s dumb, because they are obvious Minneapolis-ites. They could easily come to St. Paul and protest in front of the actual capitol, but instead they protest outside of the Hennepin County Headquaters like a bunch of dumbasses.

I was born and raised in Minneapolis
I know live in St. Paul. I think it’s ridiculous how most Minneapolisites know next to nothing about St. Paul, and hate it for no good reason.

Yeah
Minneapolis people have a total irrational hate of St. Paul, even though most know very little about St. Paul.
I have noticed the long-term residents of both cities tend to stick to their side of the Mississippi.

True
It’s just odd, because St. Paul and Minneapolis are practically one city. But the amount the citizens refuse to interact is surprising to me.
One time, St. Paul and Minneapolis were in different time zones, LOL.
"It happened in the moment, and it happened." - Carlos Gomez
You find similar attitudes in, say, NYC
Especially with Brooklyners.
by spanspanspan on Oct 22, 2011 11:28 PM EDT up reply actions
Didn't seem the same to me
A lot of Brooklyners came to Manhattan daily, it seemed. Brooklyn was just more convenient to live in. Brooklynites still knew how to manage in Manhattan.
I mean, St. Paul people hardly know shit about Minneapolis, and vice versa. I can tell my neighbors about where Filio’s was in Uptown and hey have no clue what the hell I am talking about.

Nah, I kind of agree with you
At first, I thought the whole thing was totally idiotic.

Java and C++ are really similar syntax-wise
Java just has no pointers. Once you learn C++ you can pick up everything else pretty quickly.
