happy easter from nervoustime. we are watching colorado and only now remembered to blog. earlier caught the end of the pittsburgh game and columbus won, that series is now 1-1. this game is 2-1 one goal from mackinnon, one from landeskog. those two are my faves! becca is rooting for pomminville in this game, surprisingly most of all to her. gatorade commercial comes on and auguste comments 'isn't that bad for you?"
discussion of tomorrow's easter plans, there is a flyers game at 11, we are thinking of watching redwings / boston at two. rebecca feels compassion for eastern european catholic players 'isn't easter more religious than easter.' while typing this i missed her gatorade / love analogy, which is 'just because something is unhealthy for you doesn't mean it doesn't feel good at the time.' true story.
we're planning to go to hamam. auguste is going to the fort garry brunch in the morning!
mackinnon! 'putting on a show for the ages'. so mackinnon has three points in this game and landeskog scored again. happy to have these two on my fantasy hockey team.
we'd like to give a shoutout to the nelson leafs of nelson bc.
bryz looks sad.
rebecca 'you play your star goalie right away just like they did with luongo - it gives them confidence'.
the snacks tonight are delicious. that matza brittle i missed last game when i went to sleep (awesome sleep, btw) and a sort of breaded marshmellow. becca doesn't get the fade out music on tsn tonight 'WHO WAS THAT, WHAT WAS THAT?'
malone in a fight and becca wonders if the other guy razzed him about his bro's recent mishaps to which auguste responds 'you guys know so much how do you keep it straight.'
one min left in the second. rebecca asked if hainsey has had his twins, so far i think not, i do a twitter search for the word 'hainsey' on a daily basis and because of that i know that @hainsey_17 's parents are going on a date tonight!
did patrick roy get a haircut? his hair looks fantastic tho. ness has varlomov. as to patrick roy, becca 'i bet he doesn't smoke any weed. he would be the least chilled out stoner if he did'
2nd period over. i am heading to bed but becca may continue. happy easter, love nervoustime

Let the Playoffs Begin
It's playoff nervoustime. Rebecca, Nesse and Kendra on Arlington. Still recovering from our family Passover seder last night: we had an accordion and ukulele and percussion accompaniment and there was smiting (even though I really believe you should kill people with kindness) and drinking and it was wonderful.
First up is Montreal @ Tampa Bay. "Treat people as if you want them to treat you", or something like that, says Bob Cole at the beginning of the 2nd. Hockey/Passover analogy? Tied game at 1 point each. It's a messy game, lots of hard embraces against the glass.
We are all participating in Fantasy Hockey League now as individual teams (no longer a collective!) I have the weirdest team ever as a result of our draft night coinciding with Passover, the drunkest holiday of the year.
Vanessa knows somebody going to Greenland and we can't help but celebrate their huge spike in population. Stamkos (unassisted) and whoa I actually have him on my Fantasy team and the night has taken a surprising upswing. Skirmishes abound. Then Gionta ties it back up.
NEWSFLASH: Vanessa got a smartphone. She's on it ALL THE TIME now and understands why Kendra and I are always on ours.
---------------------
rebecca is making a salad. 2-2 montreal tampa, end of the second. Pittsburgh / Columbus 3-3 in the third. Nervoustime everywhere!
Eating cool ranch dorritos.
--------------------
The Pittsburgh crowd is a sea of yellow "freebie" t-shirts. "Didn't Pittsburgh used to do whiteouts?" A quick internet search tells us that Pittsburgh is trying to set a new trend called a "Gold-Out". "That is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard of" - Kendra. Agreed. Don't mess with a good thing (hockey/love analogy).
I made my famous tahini dressing which makes anything taste good and calms upset stomachs.
Speaking of upset stomachs, I'm devastated that Teppo Numminen was let go from Buffalo. Huge mistake. Teppo is one of the best mentors any team could ask for. But this means TEPPO CAN NOW COME COACH FOR WINNIPEG. And with Teemu retiring at the end of this year, well...you know where this is going.
Paul Maurice has signed on for 4 more years (which I already knew because I got an alert on Sunday that he had enrolled his kids at a high school in Winnipeg). So now's your chance to claim one of hockey's greatest guys ever as our new Assistant Defense Coach. WELCOME BACK TEPPO.
Jen Funk saw a Sandhill crane today and that is one huge point for springtime.
Back to the Tampa/Montreal game.
Huge accolades for the salad. You're welcome, ladies.
Eller scores, 3-2 Montreal.
And the Tampa player from Montreal scores against his homeland's team! Killorn ties the game back up. "Juicy turnover" and it's getting outrageous.
Back from a quick trip outside visiting with Lisa who lives down the street and both she and Hank have quit smoking for multiple weeks! We're all inspired.
Vanek scored for Montreal and we wonder if it was in honour of Teppo Numminen (because he used to play for Buffalo).
Kendra and Vanessa are both cheering for Montreal, it looks like that anyway. The real reason Kendra loves Montreal is because of PK Subban and his Subby cam: http://97rockonline.com/see-what-pk-subban-saw-when-celebrating-hockey-gold-medal-subby-cam/
5:30 minutes left in the 3rd and Stamkos scores again. Whoa whoa whoa tie game.
"Turnover factory".
This game is going to overtime.
Announcement: Kendra has paid off her student loan!
We're trying to remember the rules for OT playoff hockey (it's a tradition, this memory loss). There's no shoot out. Sudden death til you drop.
Kendra and Vanessa just ran into Evan outside and he showed them his Maritime Radio License. It's legit.
So K lets us know Tampa Bay player Ryan Malone was caught with cocaine and is out until further notice (charges pending?) We all hope Ryan gets his shit together and adopts a healthier lifestyle.
We're back to the Pittsburgh game. It's 3:3 tie game. But breakaway for the Pens and Sutter scores! 11:30 left in the 3rd period and Pittsburgh's got the lead at 4:3. Text from J Funk "Smoko keeps thinking the banging at the Pittsburgh game is someone at the door". Oooh, Smoko. Nervoustime's official mascot. Pittsburgh WINS!
Kendra leaves, it's all too much excitement and she has to sleep.
Ok folks this Montreal/Tampa OT is OUTTA THIS WORLD.
Steven Stamkos is solid, ladies and gentlemen. #OTMagic
"There are so many apps", Vanessa is enamoured. Everybody is looking forward to the long weekend!
It feels like it's getting warmer out this evening. -4 degrees, NE wind 19 km/hr. Remember when it wasn't winter?
J Funk wants to talk about the moon. Ok. Did anyone stay up late to see the lunar eclipse on Monday night? I fell asleep, missing multiple phone calls, texts and alarms. But that's okay because lots of people stayed up and took video including local filmmaker Mike Maryniuk: http://vimeo.com/92019679
Max Pacioretti sends the puck PINGING off the post and we're making loud sounds in the living room right now. Gutteral animal sounds.
But oh no, Weise scores and beats Anders Lindback making the final score 5-4 Montreal.
We're having some matzah brittle (super easy to make and fucking addictive! http://www.thekitchn.com/recipe-chocolate-caramel-matzo-brittle-recipes-from-the-kitchn-47589 )
Goodnight, love Nervoustime. xo

Happy 5 year anniversary nervoustime!
Tomorrow nervoustime turns five years old. It started when GSP and I were watching a hockey game and someone said 'it's nervoustime'. Graham turned to me and said 'we should do a hockey blog called nervoustime".
It started off with us (me?) not knowing much about hockey. Well, if you look at earlier entries you may wonder who Scott "Oakes" was, and obviously how old he was. But we've discovered that along with other things ('who's JVR?' 'are the Sedin's Canadian citizens?' 'does anyone like Shea Weber?').
Thanks to everyone who was with us and grew with us along the way.
In the 'where are they now?' aspect I will say that even though Mark and I broke up four years ago we still regularly send text messages to each other saying simply "JAGR!" or "Olllllllllllli." Graham is writing his last exam on Wednesday. Becca, Ness and I are all joining a playoff fantasy league with our own team each!!!
On the topic of the playoffs I'd like to send a special shout out to my sister Karla for the heart wrenching upcoming struggle of watching her two faves the Blackhawks and the Blues. Always positive, the preseries quote was "it will be a win for me." We together make a limb.
My playoff hopes are San Jose (I have a shirt), Chicago (I have a shirt and a baby outfit for the next time a friend of mine becomes pregnant - bought a pack of three), Flyers (I have a shirt, long enough to be a dress on the most casual friday), Detroit (Alfie, deserves it), Colorado (I really like the young kids), Anaheim (Teemu deserves everything.), Montreal (well, PK Subban won us over and pretty much helped us almost win our fantasy league) and Pittsburgh (who doesn't miss Malkin's parents?). I will do an update in the second round but the first round is really the best. It's anyone's game and that's another great hockey / love analogy.
Always take the chance and expect the best. Here's to another five great years,
xok for nervoustime

april 9th! redwings/penguins
 |
| Happy birthday to all the Aries out there! |
we are watching detroit pittsburgh and it's 1-0 in the second. if detroit wins tonight they make the playoffs.
becca made me this incredible card which you can see below.....also thanks to my nephew isaish for the ring and bracelet.
it's windy tonight and congrats to trevor linden for the new canucks job. i used to be a big canucks fan and appreciate that coming full circle i guess you'd say.
as for coming full circle my plan for age 37 is to be more helpful and go to yugoslavia. i am travelling to belgrade and have three weeks with no plans before i have to fly from croatia so i am just going to try and figure things out as i go - hopefully there will be several adventures along the way and at least one or two places to watch a playoff game.
speaking of playoffs, it looks like columbus may make it who i find boring. it looks like there are about three games left and new jersey is out.
my nephew today predicted pavelec wouldn't be back next year, which he personally thinks is terrible.
we joined a playoff fantasy league - or really i signed the girls up in exchange for them signing me up for farmersonly.com because i continually get emails from them and have no ability to get myself to a farm, i have a hard time dating people that don't live in wolseley.
pittsburgh scored, currently 1-1. neal. no score in the montreal chicago game, end of the second.
kindl scored and fluery calling goaltender interferance and vanessa doesn't like orpik at all - does anyone? 'the most dominant shift from the redwings' it's a goal. kindl would be a cute first name for a child - attention bangers. our friend scott is having a new baby due the same day as the hainsey twins.....so much exciting stuff coming.
and pittsburgh socred, speaking of.
neal again - 'who has that guy???????" my phone beeped and you guessed it, another email from farmers only.
so we got locked out. had to call caretaking hero, jay who arrived to let us in and was surprised becca had her buzz connected to her landline 'nobody uses keys anymore' but then he left happy 'great touque' comment directed at vanessa.
announcers are talking about jeremy morin and i've noticed him a lot too - very great to see. it's hard not to play well as a hawk maybe.
watching hawks habs now, power play for chicago coming up for minutes left they trail by one, pretty sweet airsave by crawford earlier. apparently patrick kane has been skating.
it looks like montreal is going to win. 'a familiar site tomas vanek providing a staring role' - remember when we hoped he would be a jet. nervoustime for the blackhawks!!!! oooh apparently patrick sharp was almost in my birthday card and when i look back jordan staal is a better choice.
AND CHICAGO SCORES! 'that might have been the most productive time out of all time'
montreal is coming back like they don't want over time. becca 'i don't think i have seen one montreal game this year - so they are pretty good now eh?' they are. i have prob watched more montreal games this year than any year since 92. who is 67 on montreal, that isn't a common number, but frolik has it.....
becca is looking up and overtime is coming up! apparently chicago hasn't score an overtime goal this season and drunkpatrickkane is my fave twitter account after members of my family, rebecca/vanessa and adam wazny.
patrick sharp!!!! and we are rewinding. HAWKSWIN!
it was a heart breaking goal. ok i'll have a cupcake, pittsburgh up by one.
the cupcake was delicious. that was actually my fourth dessert of the day, also had an ice cream after dinner, and cake with my oma at lunch time.
rebeca is telling me how to disable my farmers only acocunt which is prob a good idea. two mins left in the game but pittsburgh is in the lead.
nervoustime detroit. DETROIT SCORES!!!! that was coming you could tell, this is actually my dream hockey birthday.
i'm pretty sure as long as detroit gets into over time they make the playoffs? they haven't missed since 1990 and they are in!!!! and it's now overtime coming.
and rivalry night is really alive bc becca was cheering for the pens. some solid chances in the overtime period. discussion of how they call nyquist the russian rocket now. and wondering who they will pick as the next finnish flash, becca comments it would have to be 'the new finnish flash' or 'finnish flash junior' in the case of one of teemu's sons. i'm pretty sure those guys only golf or play baseball or is that gretzky's sons?
in the first round detroit will play pittsburgh or 'the other nhl team in black and gold' - bruins. well i will be here for the first round and i can't wait.
my sc choices are chicago, anaheim, detroit, st. louis.
here comes the shootout. nervoustime. becca sends her caretaker a thank you text 'we are blogging that you are our hero'
all super tired here tho, aging is exhausting, lol. i actually LOVE saying lol now, i started in a slight sarcastic way but i have now embraced it in my daily vernacular. jokinin and crosby are in the 40s for shootouts. those above 50, oshie, toews, karla schulz. haha. love you karla and miss you.you too megan :)
slippery alfredson stopped by the artistic save. 'a snow angel masterpiece'
here comes sid. NO
that was slow. called 'patrick kaneish'
datsyuk. stopped. 'a highly skilled guy'
jokinen.
jen text 'i have never heard alfredson described as slippery before. this shootout is hilarious'
and jossi scores. 'a jokinen from another mother'
tatar........stopped. pensguins win. redwings still make the playoffs. we will all live to see another year. everyone is leaving with smiles on their faces.
love you guys, xo nervoustime.

playoff run: redwings v. bruins
hi from arlington. currently watching bruins wings, no score and we are hungry! vanessa arrives wishing she ordered more. still no score. some things occurred including we were locked outside when the food came, vanessa spilled a glass of wine, we took a selfie and evan walked by en route to barchetts to buy ice cream. leads me to the idea of the dating site wolselelyonly.com - just how people in wols are my fave to know.
vanessa 'i have so much concrete in my nose'. detroit penalty. we are going for lucic tonight and boston scored. ness and i are going for detroit, rebecca is going for boston and is rocking her pj stock crew tshirt. no goal. becca 'i think i like that ref. the little guy'. as i was explaining to vanessa how i want to attend taco bell for my bday boston scored an actual goal that one counts.
discussion of our playoff odds at fantasy 'if the right people lose and we keep winning we have a chance.' 'sounds like a jets scenerio' 'nervoustime for nervoustime'
alfredson isn't playing tonight, unidentified illness. long sigh to my sister and sorry to hear JT is out until the playoffs. going to get some soup.
rebecca was thinking we should pic colours and fonts for each narrative voice but i hope everyone knows the lower case is k.
and detroit has scored. tomas tatar scored, dekeyser assist.
discussion of teemu's last game. look for a post of teemu's goodbye letter to the jets in finnish and poorly translated english below. http://illegalcurve.com/2011/12/21/winnipeg-jets-afternoon-news-79/
while eating we talked about greenland, population 56K i didn't know there were so many people there as we have to date not received any blog views from the country. hello to hockey fans in greenland tho.
the spicy noodle was the same (i.e. delicious) however slight change in the mooshi. 'a little more like a tortilla'
here comes becca on the blog......#CapsBack We're into the 2nd period and talking about birthdays and labiaplasty. It's been all over CBC today. Nervoustime would like to say that we're all satisfied with our labia. "Absolutely". And we hope you are, too.
"Isn't there a movie called 'Greenlander'?" "No, that's Zoolander".
"Ooooohhhhh my goodness" - Nesse. The game is frantic. 3 minutes to go in the 2nd.
'Rivalry Night' is simply a marketing ploy and is rarely indicative of an actual rivalry between teams. "Like when Buffalo and Carolina played - with Hainsey against Teppo" - Kendra.
FarmersOnly. Could this possibly be true?
Ok, we've now set up an account and are checking out farmers in North Dakota. Kendra offered up her email address. We check out a few profiles and hey, who knows what could happen? "Preferred Body Type: Tell ya later". http://www.farmersonly.com/user/2015698?source=whoson&source_page=2
Two zambonis on the ice. "Oooh fancy".
We've decided to all wear red to Rae & Jerry's on Friday night for Aries birthday bash. "Or pink, and clash" - Nesse. However, I love red and pink together. Who's coming? Us, Carolyn, Zig, Sally, Tyler, Mark, cousin Kevin, Evan, Alli, Anna, Cameron, Robbie Rousseau, Angie, Kara, Uzma (obvs), Tracey, Sonia, Jocelyn, GSP (VIP), Grant, Allan, Randi, Jen Funk, Omar, Libby, Lee. That's way over the reservation for 20. Headsup Bangerz is a "maybe"! Please join us, or we can all meet up at Taco Bell on the walk home.
We're just into the 3rd. And Soderberg scores, Bergeron assist. 2:1 Boston. "I still like Dougie Hamilton" - Kendra.
"Move the puck, move yourself".
"Patrice Bergeron would make a good spokesperson for Advil"??? "I can't believe Advil sponsors NHL hockey replays".
Kendra's received a couple emails from cowboys!
We're eating candy and Jurco scores, tying up the game 2:2. "Out of the dog house, into the Penthouse." Now Nyquist has scored, exploding across the ice like a cannon. Unreal goal. "Amazing story". 3:2 Detroit.
Thanks to the Wahl bros for hosting a wonderful weekend in Lake of the Woods. We drove home through a blizzard and the highway was closed right after we left. Eric Wahl will always be my hero for getting us home safe and sound.
Kendra announces biased announcers are the worst. 3:50 to go in the 3rd.
It's a beautiful evening in Winnipeg tonight. Wind is light, 9 km/hr (NE). There's a crescent moon, too.
just two or so mins left. feels good to be heading home with leftovers, thanks again spicy noodle. so obvs we hope detroit wins the wild card. i don't know why people keep displaying non real matchups 'what if the playoffs started tomorrow'. if columbus makes the playoffs really i will be sad,
.
have we talked recently about the hartford whalers? on hainsey's bday i discovered his grandparents had season tickets and i just really remembered how much i loved those guys.
one and a half minutes left. goalie cam and tukka rask is on his way to the bench. so cute. icing with 37 secs to go. 'you can't try to be soft. you can't hope it out of the zone. if you ice it you ice it.'
boston time out. redwings win! 'they needed to win this one and they did.'
xo love ya becca, ness and kenny g for nervoustime.
vanessa 'i have so much concrete in my nose'. detroit penalty. we are going for lucic tonight and boston scored. ness and i are going for detroit, rebecca is going for boston and is rocking her pj stock crew tshirt. no goal. becca 'i think i like that ref. the little guy'. as i was explaining to vanessa how i want to attend taco bell for my bday boston scored an actual goal that one counts.

JETS VS. CAROLINA, WELCOME BACK HAINSEY!!
Happy Saturday! It's Hockey Night on Arlington. Carolina @ Winnipeg (helllooo Hainsey and Staal bros!)
This is Rebecca and I'm cooking up a storm for my favourite Nervoustime ladies. Shout out to J Funk and Darcy and Smoko in the country (where nobody has to DD). I was hoping to watch this game with everyone all together, but trying to organize my friends is like herding cats sometimes (I love you all).
So I decided to cook, which is what I do when I don't know what else to do. I have a new famous chicken recipe (famous IMHO) and I'm roasting potatoes. Brussel sprouts are also on the menu.
It's March 22 and it's -30 out for chrissakes.
I spent 25 minutes watching Salt N Pepa music videos after work today so I'm feeling pretty good right now. The rads are blasting and it may turn into a no-pants party tonight.
Monty's in net (Pavs still hurt). 1st period good pace. It's Byfuglien bobblehead night, thank goodness he's back in the line-up.
Ness and I went to the game on Wednesday against Colorado and it was the most exciting game we've been to this year (Jets won in OT). I love our seats so much, we're so close to the team you can smell them and/or read lips. We only go to a few games during the season and boy oh boy are we ever grateful for the few times we go. We relish every part of the experience: from getting frisked by an overzealous security guard, to savouring our $9.25 beers, to crafting inspirational signs and kibbutzing with our usher, Darren. But I do have to say that the fans in section 119 are kinda shitty fans (with the notable exception of Neil and his GF). The majority of our section doesn't stand up when the Jets score and nobody joins the "Go Jets Go" cheers. Too rich to engage? Maybe. Interestingly, the 300 sections are always the most fun places to sit and that is usually where the wave starts. That being said, I always encourage/shame our section into participating and by the end of last game even our emo neighbours got up off their butts to celebrate Wheeler's goal.
Frolik with an almost-so-close goal! Miraculous save by Cam Ward.
Oil pulling update: I kind of stopped for a few days. Then started again. Not sure the findings are indicative of anything. But I do feel like a I have more energy since I started doing it. I asked my doctor what she thought of it and she had never heard of oil pulling before but that it sounded "harmless". Thanks, Doc!
PEOPLE ARE BOOING HAINSEY!? Shame on you, Winnipeg.
Nervoustime would like to congratulate Jim Slater and his wife on the arrival of their first baby who they named Wyn.
Jen Funk is loving Coach's Corner, "Rollin' in it, LOL". #JenFunkNeedsTwitter #NotReally
Ron and Don are wearing matching ties.
Kendra arrives with gingerale (the real shit).
Kendra is jealous of Vanessa and my middle names (Spring and Sky, respectively) so I've decided that the Winkworth parents will have to christen Kendra with her "Hippy Middle Name". When I suggest River, Kendra's eyes pop out of her head and she really likes it "Kendra River Goertzen". She hopes the Winkworth parents read this blog post.
-------
this is kendra now with the fantasy report for the week which is we are going to lose. currently down by 9 points, great comeback week however from daniel alfredson. not sure if the wings could make the playoffs but i would like to see alfredson win a stanley cup. my sister karla is hoping for st. louis (what's up tj oshie) and her least preferred are anaheim and colorado. we agreed neither of us would like columbus or dallas. of course there we all root for the blackhawks but karla said she wasn't sure they could make it without my fave blackhawk patrick kane.....'he's an emotional guy'.
i'm wearing my pj stock tshirt in honour of the bruins being the first to make the playoffs and becca just told me i left white wine at her place last time!
--------
Now Nesse's here!
Jim Slater scores and puts the Jets on the map. Go Jim Dandy!
But time has passed now and both Staal bros scored making it 2:1 Carolina. And then Nash scores bringing the tally to 3:1.
If you can't tell who's blogging, and there are caps being used it's usually Rebecca. I would never date anyone who uses "LOL" in text messages. "Well here's a question then: how do you properly show inflection without using those kind of things", Vanessa. You could say it differently, that's how. Y'know, by using your words. Kendra wonders if everyone has dumbed down the english language as a result of poor spelling.
Never ever use 2 spaces after a period. Here's why: http://www.slate.com/articles/technology/technology/2011/01/space_invaders.html
Love is in the air on Arlington. New love blooms and old love turns into detritus: http://www.brainpickings.org/index.php/2014/03/21/dead-stuff/ It's the circle of life and it moves us all.
End of the period interview:
"We started moving our feet and we were rewarded for it" - Jordan Staal. Hockey/love analogy.
Vanessa asks the question 'do the jets have a mathematical chance to get in the playoffs?' the answer is about 1.9 percent.
--------
Little from Frolik!? frolik navidad, i appreciate the announcers keep talking about him, which we have been doing all season.
WHY THE FUCK ARE THEY BOOING RON HAINSEY.
none of us understand that. he never said anything bad about winnipeg and never asked to be traded. we cheer for teemu!!!
oh ya so we still haven't had dinner. third period. winnipeg has 'lots of jump'.
playoffs 'a tough mountain to climb' - the toughest mountain i've climbed was sigyria in sri lanka. it was super hard. and then second was not a mountain but a volcano - in nicaragua where i didn't know i would be climbing a volcano so i had lunch wine and wore flip flops.
discussion turns to letting go. jet goal and a MARK STUART FOR LIFE CHANT ERUPTS IN THE LIVING ROOM.
no goal. still 3-2. vanessa filing her nails. they are six dollar nail files she bought at canadian tire 'i will never use an emery board again'.
happy upcoming birthdays to the following people: ron hainsey, keith tkachuk, tracey.
tracey and i are having a joint birthday party next saturday at rae and jerry's. hopefully after we can go to taco bell. hopefully also karla and megan will make it out.
zach bogosian left the game but there was a jokinen chance!
three mins left in the third but dinner is almost ready. brought to the montreal game for a moment and they are leading 4.3.
we are going to eat now. we will pause the game. we are actually way behind the actual time.
-------
"Nobody check their phones!"
"NO TWITTER UNTIL THE END OF THE GAME"
-------
so the jets lost. great last minute tho. also - amazing dinner by rebecca! brussel sprouts (currently on sale at food fare), chicken, baked potato.
good night everyone. i think there is prob still a 1% chance the jets can make the playoffs.

By the way, any movie that has a spelling bee in it is a movie I want to see.

This is Rebecca and I'm cooking up a storm for my favourite Nervoustime ladies. Shout out to J Funk and Darcy and Smoko in the country (where nobody has to DD). I was hoping to watch this game with everyone all together, but trying to organize my friends is like herding cats sometimes (I love you all).
So I decided to cook, which is what I do when I don't know what else to do. I have a new famous chicken recipe (famous IMHO) and I'm roasting potatoes. Brussel sprouts are also on the menu.
It's March 22 and it's -30 out for chrissakes.
I spent 25 minutes watching Salt N Pepa music videos after work today so I'm feeling pretty good right now. The rads are blasting and it may turn into a no-pants party tonight.
Monty's in net (Pavs still hurt). 1st period good pace. It's Byfuglien bobblehead night, thank goodness he's back in the line-up.

first jets game of the year together, jets v. colorado.
hey from arlington. vanessa has returned from the nightshift, becca and kendra are also here and so is the springtime. temp went up to six degrees in winnipeg and the snow is slowly melting. current discussion of strombo as the new host of hnic. 'ron was the guy who kept everything together''george is not a peer to anyone like pj stock or kelly hrudey is'
you have to at least be a referee.
'they are hockey players without a stanley cup trophy'. so yeah, we aren't happy about this. vanessa specifically notes george went down in her books as soon as he started referring to himself as 'canada's boyfriend'
who would we say is canada's boyfriend. vanessa: 'david suzuki. he is the land's boyfriend. or william shatner.' i say jt or sidney crosby.
it's actually 7:42 and we ordered food from thida's thai, devastated that spicy noodle is closed on monday. looks like the food is here. there is a pretty low chance that we will stay up for the whole game as nervoustime supports an early bedtime. but we are going to do our best to rock it for the first two periods.
speaking of rocking it we finished first place in our fantasy hockey division!!!! currently in the playoffs playing tonight against the bangers, hi scott. score was 5-4 last i checked, for scott. nervoustime real life is we have three avs on our team (mackinnon, barrie and landeskog) but we also want the jets to do well obviously.
the jets have a 9.4 chance of making the playoffs. thanks to nervoustime's fave accountant, tom, for informing me of the (i wish i could say rise and) fall of these stats on a daily basis.
also thanks to rob rouseau for letting us know this restaurant is good.
ness feels like the strombo thing is a punk as does the missing malaysia airline.
'it started with the theme song.'
'ron mclean is worth it.'
so game story. montoya is in net. paul statsny is out. i have bet on the avs, actually.
we should talk about mark stuart - 'that's the happiest deal' - becca. 'he has such a good prescence on the team.'
soup time.
seeing as this game is in colorado, i wonder how many jets smoke weed?
becca 'this is the best soup i have ever had' the soup is super good. announcers describe landeskog as mr everything which is also how becca feels about her soup 'this can do no wrong'
anthems. anthem singer is a mennonite! slight 'true north' heard. so game on. so far no score. so great to have jim slater back tho hey? rebecca is making cookies and john albert is playing! PA parenteau is hurt....second injury against the jets this season. penalty coming up. colorado on the power play.
'don't be afraid to take the hit because it might hurt less than trying to avoid it' - hockey love analogy from rebecca. 'i am going to write a whole book about hockey love analogys'
too many men on the ice is our fave penalty. jets keep the avs to one shot on that penalty 'totally dominating' second power play of the game for colorado. rebecca 'who is mark stuart's girlfriend?' ness: 'better question....who should be mark stuart's girlfriend?'
better question 'can you smoke a joint outside this game like as if it is a cigarette?' 'do they have a dispensary in the arena?''can you bring in your own food?' soooooo many chances there but bogosian is in the box for penalty #3 of the night for the jets
there has been a 4th penalty now and still no score but we heard about rich peverley and we most def send our thoughts to you and your families and all the dallas stars fans out there. hopefully everything works out okay.
that was a great play by kane. how did that not go in. frolik needs a goal.
ness comments how frolk's gf having used to date petr nedved as 'like going from bruce willis to ashton kutcher'
breaking: oh ya so there are mysterious snow shapes on arlington, like far away for a person to reach. we think it might be magic.
the q and eh on the jets fave music was great, interestingly tho becca thought mark stuart made all the jets playlists and wondered why he didn't get interviewed.
becca's cookies are DELICIOUS. vanessa 'i bet i could eat these cookies faster than you can make them. and then announces she has to go.
this game is so late. she has to wake up in seven hours, 4:30. i should personally wake up at 5:30. neither of us has folded our laundry.
the masters is beginning on my birthday and apparently it is this year on a wednesday.
MACKINNON SCORES cue the whitney houston the jets need a pick me up.
new health ideas: gargling with oil, juicing banana peels. so vanessa is going......rebecca loves the music in colorado 'ccr! fuck yeah!
cute that they just said 'tyson barrie loves the jump in'. power play coming up for the jets. fantasy hockey update, bangers: 7, nervoustime: 6. next batch of cookies are ready.
byfuglien scores. little gets a career points high with that assist.
oh i forgot manitoba's slogan was 'canada's heart beats' remember how great that song 'heartbeats' by the knife is? amazing save by montoya, who doesn't love that guy and why isn't he our starting goaltender but i am tired.
and there is another goal for byfuglien from frolik. ooooooooh. brian little just broke his earlier record with an assist as well 'a little goes a long way'tsn announcer just begins discussing evander kane's energy....well. that let's not get too magical.
one min left in the second. oh ya credit to the penalty killers in the first period. does anyone remember the women's can us hockey games in the olympics 2002 where the canadian women would play almost entire games on the penalty kill, something to look up for sure.
woah. eleven second left in the period and colorado scores.
alright. i'm going home. becca will update for the rest of the game.
So everyone's left to go to bed. Moonchild here, as per usual, reporting the last part of the game. I'm taking this opportunity, now that I'm alone, to attempt oil pulling. Has anyone else tried this crazy fad? They say it cures everything: gargling oil (sesame, coconut, olive) for 20 minutes. So far, so good. 2 minutes in. My jaw hurts a bit.
Beginning of the 3rd period. 2:2. Parenteau's out for the rest of the game. Trouba gets sent to the box right off the hop.
I went to Costco today and spent $70 on matzah, coconut oil and an orchid plant. You won't find matzah any cheaper, people (5 boxes for $10.49). And Manischevitz, no less. Why is matzah so expensive? I'm going to make my own this year (declaration).
Ok, it's only been 6 minutes, but I really want to spit this oil out. How can this be good for you?! What am I doing and maybe I should have researched this a bit further.
Whoa, distracted by scuffle on the ice. Keep swishing. Don't swallow.
Disco music is now playing in the Colorado arena and the playlist keeps getting better and better.
11 minutes left of oil pulling: 15 minutes left in the 3rd.
MacKinnon loses credit for his goal (and thus a blow to our Fantasy Hockey team). Things are getting busy on the ice. Enstrom just got save of the game. Great game for Toby-don't-call-me-Tobias. We're shorthanded again. There have been too many penalties this game.
5 minutes left of oil pulling and even though I want to stop, I'm inspired by the pace of the game and will stick with it. WWTD?
Vanessa and I watched a hilarious movie the other night called Bad Milo, all about guy and a pintsized demon that lives in his asshole and, when triggered by excessive anxiety, forces his way out to kill all the people who've pissed him off. It had a campy 80's vibe, and it was super funny and everyone needs to see it and the chill the fuck out.
The organ player is playing Green Day. Amazing. Let's all move to Colorado.
8 minutes left in the 3rd and it's getting desperate.
I can spit out the oil now! I rinsed and brushed. My teeth feel slick and I had to blow my nose right away. Those are positive signs, right?
I love Jim Slater.
I'll keep with this oil pulling for a week and see what happens.
Is there anyone who works harder than Michael Frolik? No.
3 min left in the 3rd. It's nervoustime.
Breakaways, off the posts, all the excitement is happening. We're going to OT.
Oh shit Matt Duchene slips one in past Montoya and Avs win this one. 3:2 Colorado.
"This game had a little bit of everything". But not enough win.
Stay positive out there. Leave your oil pulling comments and suggestions at the bottom of this post!
