I've been in Las Vegas for more than 10 years now and am kind of numb to all of the weird shit that happens when you live here, but in the last 24 hours I've learned one of my best friends got a job as head chef at the Hustler Club here in town and then two of my other best friends just interviewed a pron star on the radio.

The Imelda Marcos album ("Here Lies Love") is really, really good.

I'm planning to see him in August in Toronto. Not sure what the show will be, but should be good.

Eastern Time Zone - awesome in the morning (no meetings until 9?!?), sucks at night (how the fuck would one ever watch their team on the west coast?).

Re: Random Thoughts About Thoughts Random
Yup. Mountain is realistically probably the best for watching sports, but Pacific isn't bad either. And it's nice to have the "late" games wrapped up by 10 p.m. most nights.

Re: Random Thoughts About Thoughts Random
Agreed. The problem with Pacific would be missing east coast starts.

Re: Random Thoughts About Thoughts Random
You don't miss any on weekends and weekdays aren't as bad as you would think, though I'll admit it depends on your own personal ability to skate out of work 30 minutes early sometimes.Giff wrote: ↑Thu Jan 25, 2018 4:31 pmAgreed. The problem with Pacific would be missing east coast starts.

Yeah, it's not really an issue for me now either. I can't remember the last time I've stayed up late on a weeknight to watch Rockets or The 2017 World Series Champion Houston Astros.

I know you’re being tongue-in-cheek but that really is the main cause of East coast bias.

I'd honestly rather not. Sell off the UFAs (and maybe Zucc) and hope to do a quick little restock for the next two years or whatever Henrik has left.

I'm sitting here working in a coffee shop and the couple right across from me are having a meditation session. That's about on the same awkward level as watching people pray over their food in a restaurant.

I thought you said mediation at first and that would actually be worse.

I'm 2 weeks into this deployment thing. Not bad so far.
One thing that makes me laugh though: bathrooms here are called cadillacs. They are trailers similar to what you might see at a music festival or any other multi day outdoor event.

Anyhoo, the tag line of this base should be "Welcome to Al Udeid. Where taking a shit in a cadillac is not necessarily a bad thing."
If you're wondering (because I know Peter King would be), the food here isn't fucking up my stomach in ways the food does in America. Seriously. You'd think I'd have issues, but no. The food in America is bad for you.
And, if you want to send me stuff or know people who like to send stuff to deployed military, here you go:
Don't feel obliged though. I do kinda live in Club Med. When I go to Afghanistan, different story, but I won't be there for that long. Others have it way rougher than me.

Re: Random Thoughts About Thoughts Random
I got up, took a shower, got ready, came to work and realized in the rest room that I apparently did not wash my hair. How the fuck do you miss that part of the routine?

Re: Random Thoughts About Thoughts Random
Depending on the texture and whether you use quality product, it's probably better not to wash your hair daily.

Re: Random Thoughts About Thoughts Random
This happens more than I should admit, but a lot of times I'll get to the part of my routine where I wash my hair and have forgotten if I've washed my hair already or not so I'll inevitably wash it again just to be sure.

Re: Random Thoughts About Thoughts Random
I always do hair last.

Re: Random Thoughts About Thoughts Random
I do (in order):
1) Body cleaning (from bottom up)
2) Wash hair
3) Shave
(Shaving in the shower really helps if you have sensitive skin).

I shave in the shower, too. It works great for me.

Re: Random Thoughts About Thoughts Random
Can vouch for this, from back before I went with the permanent stubble.
Also, any cheap hair conditioner works just as well for shaving than any expensive cream/gel/foam.

Re: Random Thoughts About Thoughts Random
True, but. The whole purpose of foam, etc. is to keep your face moist while you shave. If you are shaving in the shower, it's pretty unnecessary to put anything other than hot water on your face.Johnny Carwash wrote: ↑Wed Feb 07, 2018 11:57 amCan vouch for this, from back before I went with the permanent stubble.

Re: Random Thoughts About Thoughts Random
Your razors must be better than mine. If I don't use foam (cheap Barbasol!) it's like pulling a rake through the weeds.

Re: Random Thoughts About Thoughts Random
The secret is to get your face good and hot and moist before starting. I use the mid-level Dollar Shave Club blades, which are nothing special.
