As if I take many things seriously any more

Well, that's it. The longest home winning streak in the NHL is 23 games! And if the Red Wings had to fall to anyone, I kind of don't mind that it's Vancouver. Just... damn it, Daniel Sedin! Fifteen seconds left, you couldn't just... ARGH (9>o<)9

"Oh, wow, it's like 11:30, I should probably check the sco-- OH MY GOOOOOOOOD" was pretty much what happened on my end. I was kinda hoping the Canucks wouldn't put up much of a fight tonight, because I'm going to see them tomorrow in Jersey! XD The Devils are pretty hot, and 4th in the East (IIRC), so it should be a pretty good matchup. my boy daniel~ ♥

I'm glad to hear you're feeling better! Still, you should continue to get rest. *covers in blankets*

I forgot that winter's a thing, and next December I'm going to be blindsided. It was sixty degrees here today! Sounds like you actually had fun, enough to make me miss the snow! ... Almost.

What about your left turns makes them stupid? Is it like in New Jersey where you have weird jug-handles, but just... left ones (can't make proper left turns, can't pump their own gas, they don't trust people in Jersey to do anything, man)?

YEAH right up to the last shootout round. :\
But as I was telling my mom, the Canucks are just as good as the Red Wings and they really jump and they did put up a damn good fight. So they got to walk out of the arena with one more point than the Wings did (and with the end of their home win streak). They're going overnight to New Jersey tomorrow? Here's hoping they win that game, too, yeah!!

Oh man. And I thought it was warm when it hit fifty here. What the heck is this winter.

Jug-handles? Do they really use those on not-highway streets? That looks like it'd waste a lot of space... (and they still don't have self-serve pumps, really?!)
Anyway, they're seriously called Michigan lefts around here, and we have signs explaining them*. Most of the time.

Sounds like I missed a good game. :( *kicks self* I hope they wiiiiin. :V

Yeah, this winter hasn't happened. It's like one really long autumn-spring. Which, y'know, I don't mind, considering we usually get those seasons for a total of about four weeks over here.

Jug-handles. In other words, you trail off to the right of the main road, and it puts you on the cross-street, I guess so traffic flows more smoothly through the intersection. There are some jug-handles that split further so that you're put directly on the cross-street as if you'd made a left turn (or as if you'd made a right turn if you go the other way). First time I encountered one, I was very confused. Despite being the most densely populated state, there's still plenty of space in Jersey. Central Jersey might as well be the countryside, what with all the deer roaming in my friend's backyard all the time. It's also the law that you cannot pump your own gas in New Jersey. I don't know what happened that they needed to make that a law, but it must have been pretty serious

It wassssss, and I'm glad they did

I don't know! In New York, we make regular ol' left turns (sometimes with special lights or turning lanes, and if you really wanna get fancy, separate left-turn bays), and we know how to parallel park, too. There are still some full-service stations here, but the price is about 20¢ higher, and there are always self-serve pumps, too. I mean, there's a convenience in not having to get out of the car, but still.

I'm still glad I don't drive, even if it takes me three times as long to get anywhere.
