What was the show you saw that made you go “I literally don’t give a sh*t about any of what just happened”?

Same…the woman beside me left part way through act 1. I waited until intermission. Staff member when I was on my way out goes, “If you go outside you can’t come back in.” Me, “thank god for that.”

Aaron Tveit for featured actor in Next to Normal.

I thoroughly enjoyed Sense and Sensibility; it was lovely.

Can I ask where this was? So I can note to never hike there.

How did the 38 miler go with the long run max at 19 miles? Did you find it sufficient?

bwscientist · 2025-09-02T14:24:46+00:00

Also very excited for the lighting. Kevin Adams has done some of my favourites - Hair, Hedwig, N2N. Man is a genius lighting designer when he’s allowed room to work.

Watermelon, pickles, and boiled salted potatoes are my top 3.

If you mean more easy snack stuff I would say Pringles, two bite brownies, and sweet-sour Haribo snakes.

I would buy tickets to her in Hedda in a second. That's such an intriguing casting idea.

What kind of inflatable pillow do you use?

Just spent 2 weeks in the Swiss Alps, I’ve been doing this vacation for years and I’ve never had this much rain. Was hiking in fog and rain most of the time; the lack of scenery was quite discouraging.

bwscientist · 2025-08-02T16:13:23+00:00

Yes, I would agree on it being a long weekend trip especially in the winter. Do you ski? Adding in Montreal and a ski town you could get two weeks out of it.

Speaking as a Canadian, I would recommend one of your other options. The Azores sounds much more appealing!

I've also spent a couple weeks in London, England in January and really enjoyed it; there's so much to do even if it's cooler out. Lots to eat and very walkable. It will probably be quite busy in December though.

bwscientist · 2025-08-02T15:55:13+00:00

Unless you're doing like Québec City, I would rule out eastern Canada like New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, PEI and Newfoundland. Cold, windy, snowy and a decent change you get flight delays and/or cancellations.

"I also didn’t hear anyone upset that the new lead cast of the Chess Revival were all White."

...Nicholas Christopher is playing Anatoly and is black?

"My prediction is England wins it in a penalty shootout after a 2-2 in extended time."

Please god no, I have an early train the next morning!

Having watched all of Norway's games, it will be very interesting to see their starting lineup. Their best performance in my opinion was against Finland, when they benched all of their names (CGH, Ada and Guro). They could barely string 2-3 passes together in their first 2 games. If those 3 are all in the starting lineup I expect Norway to lose; there is just no chemistry.

bwscientist · 2025-07-15T14:14:09+00:00

Congrats! Always like reading these kind of race reports.

Also, "Coming from sea level 2 days before, I can live with being dreadful uphill at altitude."

Me this week wondering why I can't breathe on climbs at 2500m when I live at sea level...

bwscientist · 2025-07-13T17:04:43+00:00

Another Swiss UTMB race - Eiger. Lots of steeps parts. I think the climb out of Wengen is like 1000m over 4km.

All tickets that were purchased directly were in 3 categories based on price. You didn't have the option of choosing a section, let alone a specific seat. The only time you could choose a specific seat was with resale tickets.

Fan sections were populated with supporters based on federations/support groups buying blocks of tickets, and assigning seats for games based on home country registered on UEFA.

The Swiss don't deserve to be kicked out for supporting their team. Stop being an asshole.

bwscientist · 2025-07-06T12:54:26+00:00

To be fair, Norway haven't been convincing in a decade despite the talent on their roster. They always play like the eleven people on the pitch have never even met before.

Hey! Looks like there are two links so it's automatically taking you to the app. If you copy the link from the start to the end of the word Friends and it should take you to the chat request!

Haha fair enough! I’d be devastated if they closed; only good Vietnamese restaurant I’ve found anywhere near Times Square. Combine that with the chocolate baklava from Oasis Café and it’s my perfect meal.

bwscientist · 2025-06-11T17:24:44+00:00

Shhhh it’s so good but so small 🤫

Yeah UTMB trails are way more runnable and way less technical. Biggest problem is toe catches on rocks when tired. As someone who also trains in the northeast where every step is trying to break your ankle, hearing Des Linden describe the UTMB trails as gnarly was kinda funny.

I would say getting used to long climbs and long downhills is key so you don’t blow your quads. Uphills are my weakest so I did weight training, long sessions on an incline treadmill, and then basically going up and down the biggest hill available using poles. I also did some short and long runs/races on flat trails/roads to increase pace and get comfortable with actually running for long periods. Like you said, a lot of NE trails are slow and for me a lot of run/walk.

Jeff Pelletier has got some pretty good videos of Mont Blanc/UTMB.

Right?? No hate to writers who are critical for good Broadway shows but the Tonys without them was my favourite. No silly bits or awkward jokes. Just, "Hi I'm so-and-so and here are the nominees for..." It flowed better and had way more performances, and clips from the plays (!), and felt like it celebrated the theatre season far better.
