Ahhh...the music teacher in me dies, but the nail-grower in me understands completely. Violin + nails that grow quickly = always keeping a file and clippers in my case when I realize how long they’ve gotten - which now serves the dual purpose of also busting it out for students who “forgot” to fix their nails before…

Same! Lifelong violinist here. No long nails ever, at least on the left hand...which looks really awkward, so that really just means no long nails ever. I’ve found that slapping some Jamberry fake nail decals on before a formal event mitigates how short they are, and I go about my life otherwise with short, ugly nails…

How much do you love America?

Yeah, but then how would anyone else KNOW we’re righteously supporting the troops? Jeeze, it’s like you missed the memo on what “support” actually means!

Yup, agreed. I suppose I’m fortunate enough to have met Mr. Floyd in a more “traditional” format (we met at work) and have never had to mess with Tinder or anything of the sort - but one of the things he likes about me is the fact that I have varied interests. I cannot fathom a guy telling you that you’re just too…

I remember that! It’s either that meteorologists are indeed huge prudes, or it was a conspiracy from the weather weenie cabal attempting to shut you down - what with your facts and data and book learning and such, you were clearly a threat to them.

Mr. Floyd’s favorite random fact is that kangaroos have three vaginas...this delights me greatly.

This is both extremely topical as well as highly appropriate to the situation at hand. Well done!

Yup, same! And planks help build the whole core, which also helps improve the back muscles...which in turn takes stress off my sad, ruptured disc. Winning!

He does also play the drums, so at least the guy has some inherent rhythm...that would hurt my brain so badly. He did what all musicians would love to do, which is to turn and yell at the audience to stfu (which is distressingly frowned upon in classical music...sigh).

Offseason additions Patrick Sharp, Johnny Oduya, and especially goalie Antti Niemi...

Which is particularly mind-boggling, considering its proximity to Skokie and the Holocaust museum...

That’s demanding a whole lot from the average audience member...

You know...far be it from me to sympathize with Bieber (normally), but holy crap is it annoying when the audience claps off-beat. Had that happen a number of times while performing, and it is the. worst. Throws the whole ensemble off because in their enthusiasm to be part of the show, they clap so loudly that we can…

Mr. Floyd has a Kane jersey as well - he feels super conflicted about wearing it in light of all of this, but his dad bough it for him at a game. We’re going to the Oilers game and will both be wearing our jerseys (his thought being he would stop wearing it if Kane is indicted)...being a sports fan of any sort sucks,…

I know! I miss him on the ice - you could really feel his absence on D during that Wild game on Friday. Even with last night’s Kings ass whupping, I still feel the sting from that one...

Toews is still not awful, right? And Keith? (Please tell me he isn’t awful, I just got a Keith jersey...)

Soup goes in, no soup goes out...you can’t explain that!

HA there is certainly a threshold of drunkenness over which it doesn’t go very well...and I haven’t tried hot yoga drunk as I don’t think that would end well (I do enjoy it sober, though). But up until that point, it’s super fun!

Your Jeff Goldblum gifs complete me...
