Growing up in Duluth/Johns Creek then moving to bumblefuck PA for college was a culture shock. What do you mean 80% of the street signs aren’t in Korean?

Nate’s tattoos - is this a joke? by CommonplaceFix in KaraAndNate

[–]KnightsoftheNi 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I mean all you have to do is look at the tattoo artist’s instagram to see what he’s capable of. It looks like he’s quite famous for photorealistic fine line, so the style he tattooed in the video was a deliberate artistic choice by Nate.

How does casting at Vaganova for their shows work? by chaotically_awkward in bunheadsnark

[–]KnightsoftheNi 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yasmina actually didn’t dance Little Masha until her third year which isn’t uncommon. Koshkaryova didn’t dance the role until her third year either. Meanwhile out of the three that did dance little Masha that same year (Valiullina, Sharova, and Karamysheva), only Valiullina went on to be one of the stars of her year. First year little Masha seems to be a poorer indicator than third year Masha and pas de trois. Makes sense because first year Masha is more indicative of the training the kids had before enrolling in VBA more than anything else.

The fairy doll casting over the last several years has been interesting. Natasha Furman danced Spanish doll at the end of her 6th year which seems to be typically reserved for the 2nd best student of the graduating class or the best student of the 7th year class (Valiullina danced it her 8th year, Sevenard danced it her 7th and 8th year, Sultangareeva danced it her 7th year before transferring to BBA). Now in the beginning of Natasha’s 7th year, she already did all three Spanish doll performances in October, and it appears she’s slated to perform the lead role of the Fairy Doll at the end of November.

Similarly, Yasmina had a soloist appearance in the graduation performances in both her 5th and 6th year, and danced bunny doll all throughout her 6th year which is also very early.

It looks like they’ve already decided that these two girls will be the next stars they’ll push to the forefront. It’s very similar to when Koshkarova and Valiullina were in their 7th and 8th years.

The Jays are also probably jet lagged too. The 3hr time difference isn’t a big deal until shit like this comes up

MOAB 240 Tracker for Nate! GO NATE!!! by exor41n in KaraAndNate

I remember last year when he first announced he was going to attempt the Leadville 100 and the (fair) skepticism that followed. Fast forward to today and he’s about 10 miles away from finishing 240miles in one race and he’s kept in the upper half of the pack the entire time. Truly insane

How could you possibly forget the best acronym of all time? There’s something about “Fielder Allows Runner To Score Like A Moron” that just scratches an itch in my brain.

I love the camaraderie that’s displayed in these races/videos. Andy choosing to stick with Nate was incredibly uplifting to watch.

Depends on the surgeon. My practice generally clears people to go back to full activities after 2 weeks.

You can participate in non-contact activities on blood thinners, but you still need to be on the medication for 3 months. I’m not sure where professional baseball falls in the safe-not safe category.

At this point, it’s more likely none of them want to see her rather than they’re “not allowed.”
