Took my partner out for a date night - started with a drink at the pub where we first met, then to a local Japanese restaurant where I had a scrumptious pork curry and she got this awesome karaage bowl. Then to another restaurant for an injection donut where they give you this big fuck off syringe with a filling of your choice and you get to pump your donut up. Was choice. Then Saturday I'm seeing off a friend moving to Canada, and Saturday evening is a wedding, Sunday morning is a catch up with an old colleague and house mate from years gone by. Gonna be all socialised out by then. Trying to have a nap before the rugby starts tonight. I'm watching France vs USA as a curtain raiser before NZ (hopefully) lay waste to Canada. I really like how Hubski has personalities behind the usernames. You get used to how a certain person types responses etc, Reddit is so awash with people it's almost just noise at times. I'm glad I came across you lot. Edit : https://imgur.com/a/QDWythN The donut in question
MAN! I was so gutted for the USA - they held on so damn well, the scoreline at the end did no justice to the American effort throughout the match. Conditioning for them seems to be getting better and better to. Also how hilariously good is Mike Te'o? The man looks like he gave up playing premier footy, has love handles and a bit of a belly but played like a man possessed. Unreal.
Mikey Te'o is astounding. I honestly believe that if he'd been healthy for the MLR Championship game this year, the San Diego Legion would have taken home the trophy, rather than my beloved Seawolves. He's that rare 7s player that can move to XV as well. He's going to be a key part of the Eagles for many years, I expect.
Used to be (at the very least in NZ) that 7s systems were breeding grounds for potential XVs players. Our Sevens squad used to churn out eventual All Blacks and the process worked very well. Then 7s became much more specialized I think, and now it's a rarity like Te'o who can fill both sports. It asks a hell of a lot more of you these days! Plus the other teams are improving so quickly and finding their own athletes to build teams around.
Absolutely. She just started a new job where she doesn't have to work nights or weekends anymore, so I wanted to take her out and treat her for A) a job well done getting the role, and B) to welcome her into the fold of the regular working person! Where a social life can be had. It was a really nice night. She said while having dinner "I think I just feel really happy. Today was a great day, I'm not tired or drowsy, I'm learning new things and I'm on a date with my boy". Then we demoed the food cause it was too good to try talking around.
