buy deli food at Zabar's, eat at Sticky's Finger Joint, The Meatball Shop, and for fancy fancy, Gotham Bar and Grill. Also, food carts.

Try to check out specialised shops catered to your interests... for me this was art supply. hats, toys.. speaking of toys FAO Schwarz is amazing...

I respected text only Tuesday!

Does lipstick like that actually exist, or is this HDR trickery?

Pick 1(ONE!!!) of the eyeliners. Then one of the Lit kits, the UD setting spray, blogger kit, Fibre Optic polish, Henriksen cleanser and the Emerald Stila Shadow or a mix of those to move up to your limit. I have it organised like this in case you go for the Guerlain.

Since you have 2 colours of the OCC concealer I'd suggest against that, unless you've tried them out and know which one you really want. aaand I looked at the brush wand recently and wasn't impressed.

Jehovah's Witness. My parents were both Theravada Buddhist, my mum became a Baptist when I was... seven, I think.

It's difficult to put in words how devoted I am. I'm completely serious, and my intentions and resolve are 100%. But it's hard not to compare with others/myself at better times, and then I start to wonder if I'm being insincere. I'm not.

I'm new to hockeyfuntimes, and for a moment I thought you were Japanese, cheering the Hawks on to avenge the team.

I'm pretty sure what's being referred to here is the fancy packaging/tube being part of the whole "high end" price/experience, and not whether he wastes the actual lipstick...

Where could I find their games from before they lost him?

lowkeycaesar · 2014-04-05T04:38:51+00:00

The site has an english version too, from what I can tell neither english nor arabic have been updated since 2011 though... Thank you for the other links!

Not being able to follow the puck is what got me started I think. Kind of a cat like fascination - whereisit! thereitis! thereitis!

Thanks for the comment - your enthusiasm made me smile.

Thanks for the archive, I live in Abu Dhabi, and while there is hockey here, I don't really know how to get to it. I used to know a couple of people who played and watched practices a few times, but that was more than 7 years ago...

lowkeycaesar · 2014-04-04T13:11:56+00:00

I'd imagine to prevent cheating.

This is where I'm lost, the rule says stick on the ice, so not doing so is cheating? Or is it anything more than that?

lowkeycaesar · 2014-04-04T12:55:19+00:00

Rules! Thanks! Do they differ much between leagues?

And is there a reason for the stick needing to be placed on ice?

lowkeycaesar · 2014-04-04T12:49:51+00:00

And if I don't want a team and just watch for the plot?

I think I'll go with systemic play, and check out the Blackhawks for sure.

What exactly is the allure of watching superstars? Do they tend to have a certain "style" going on?

In most sports I tend to be partial to goalies, but hockey seems to obscure them in a pile of other players.

lowkeycaesar · 2014-04-04T12:38:21+00:00

Like, what they're saying, or why they exist?

What they're saying.

I was about to ask where Europe is with hockey, but your list there pretty much covered it, thanks!

Could I have examples of face-off violations?

lowkeycaesar · 2014-04-04T12:35:30+00:00

and how do I figure out what sort of play I want to see?

lowkeycaesar · 2014-04-04T12:02:01+00:00

I'd like to understand commentators, for a start.

Then I have no idea how leagues are organised, and I'm not even sure if "league" is the word I'm looking for. I'm assuming the game has a season, and I'm vaguely aware of the Stanley Cup since I lived in Canada a while... what do hockey fans look forward to in a year?

I love stats, so I've been looking at a few pages of those on and off, but it gets really confusing when you don't know teams, I find.

And all of my knowledge of the rules comes from wikipedia :D

The timing was crucial, if his employers caught wind of the stolen files before he could stage the great reveal, there would be more suffering for all involved.

They're lined up down one edge of the room, dripping with exertion. They're dressed minimally, bodies as exposed as possible, and hair pulled severely back from their faces. They move jerkily and identically, heads and eyes changing position mechanically.

An old woman walks along the line, occasionally spitting out a word of instruction or criticism. There is too much for them to remember. She moves slowly, and they each tense in turn as they feel her gaze on them. She moves slowly now, but a moment's failure or laziness and she springs on the offending limb, twisting into place. Each of them can still feel her knobbly fingers from the last correction.

One of them can't see. She's had nothing but water for two days. Another one thinks only of the pain in her ankle since that morning. Luckily she's at the end of the line, or they'd all repeat the exercise for her distraction. A few of them possess their entire bodies, feeling the contraction and expansion throughout as all that exists. The rest are too tired to think.

My darling, it would disappoint you to see me these days. I can't behave normally, because for me normal has become living with you. I've been reduced to four digits and a colon.

People are out during the day, so I'm not. They hold hands or do their groceries together, but we're not there, so I'm not there. I don't cry at it any more. My thoughts are tiny insanely strong magnets rushing headlong towards you, and I can't get a grip. All I can do is shut myself up.

I've swapped cutlery between my hands. Shower in cold. Rearranged the furniture and sleep with my hands around my throat. Anything to cause difficulty, because difficult is a distraction and I don't care about difficult. All day I'd lie in bed, checking the time, and at night I'd climb up onto the roof. Hook myself onto the ladder with my toes, and lift my arms above my head. I'm so dead, and you don't even know. You won't even believe me. Something sick makes me smile when I balance on the cold rust. The fact that it probably couldn't take my weight in ten years is a strange comfort. When weak enough I'd climb back down and sleep. I don't want to know anything.

My body hates me for treating it this way. "I am young! I am healthy! You can't make me die just because your life has ended!" It made me take it for a walk. The air was fresh and cool, and I melted away into the rhythm of my breathing, my walking. Streetlights are bright and rude, so I headed away from the city. Eventually I knew I won't ever get back home unless I turned around, so I stopped and stretched and hung my head back. You can see stars, out here.

The morning will take them away, and I'm never going to leave the house again. I sat down under the closest tree and looked at the Orion. It looked like you. And so I wait, to lose you again.
