everything was going perfect until..... last nite was the div1 final at hills league.. and boy did we play woe at the start. we kept dropping easy ones and were down 0-4 in about 5 mins. but we stepped it up after that.. out scoring them 8-2 the rest of the way. i managed a few good D's and another greatest! thats two in three days =p

i havent won a league since we won the first 2 of the first 3 seasons i played (thats a long time ago), so this was pretty exciting. although i did get cleated badly on my already blood blistered big toe.. causing a rather painful/icky mess in my shoes. bleh.. it probly did it some good though.. cos that toe is much less bad than the other one now..

This is no Bridget Jones! I've done nothing much except play frisbee since last post.. so my shoulder/knee/calves/feet/toes are all telling em that i need a day off =p My toes are actually the worst.. both my big toes are suffering from a weekend of playing in new cleats. They both have a horribly bulgy blood blister under the nail which threatens to cause some sort of gross toe killing explosion.

anyhoo.. regionals was disappointing.. we didnt win a game and finished in dead last. Which was in some ways quite predictable.. but i was clinging to a small shread of hope that we'd rise to the occassion and topple one of the teams which we supposedly had no chance of beating. while we werent winning anything on the field i did manage to get thoroughly plastered at the party.. as the numerous facebook photos will illustrate. My streak of 10 solid years of drinking without chucking came to an sorry end... as the bathroom in "pub across the road" said hello to the previously lost Hogsbreath ribs and steak..

on monday night was the first week of the NSL Hat.. my teams won both games.. partially due to the fact that two of our absolute beginner girls dropped out. i didnt really contribute heaps except a waist high foot block and a contentious (arent they all contentious) greatest.

in other news: if you have a chance, go and check out the Wombats, theyve got some pretty cool songs.

..woke up with hope and only found tears... gah!! i passed on a whole day of overtime (at double time its worth probly $600) to go to regionals this weekend.. but it looks like im not going to be able to play anyway =( at training on tuesday i layed out and landed badly on my right shoulder.. and now my right arm doesnt work properly anymore! gah!!! i think i might be doomed never to play in major tournaments. before mixed regionals i had minor tear in my quad.. before mixed nationals i managed to tear a ligament in my left knee.. and now its open regionals.. so ive apparently pinched a nerve in my right shoulder.. which doesnt sound that bad.. except it means that my right arm doesnt really do what i tell it to do. which makes it quite hard to throw and/or catch. not to mention to ridiculous pain everytime i move.

*sigh* welcome to my life..

in other news: i went to see the Rocky Horror Picture Show last nite at Starcity. it was pretty cool, but the sound engineers kept making stupid misakes like accidently turning off a mic.. or doing something which resulting in heaps of feedback .. bleh.. we had pretty awful seats but it was still pretty cool cos we were close at least.

trying to find a way to tear a strip off these blues so yesterday i started the day by stepping into the water feature at work =p i managed to soak both shoes and socks and most of my leg.. and most of my bag. gah.. then one of my co workers spilled milk on my at breakfast.. gah!!

office life is sorta getting me down.. i need to escape to the snow or japan or something... the problem is that its too easy to make money in an office.. and incredibly hard to make money outside an office situation.. at least for a nerd like me.

not heaps interesting has been happening lately.. drinking a bit on fridays.. playing a lot of frisbee.. but thats nothing new. i did manage to split both my cleats open at the same time.. im going to play tonite with cellotaped shoes =p

a couple of weeks ago I went to a friend's baby's 1 month birthday. which was pretty cool, (you can see photos on facebook). seems people my age are really getting their act together and growing up.... i guess ill get around to that someday... someday a long time from now.. i dont even feel close to being able to be a grown up yet..

at home we've finished replacing all the carpet in the house with shiny new floorboards. it looks really nice and clean in my house for once.. but it does make the whole place echo pretty badly. i guess the carpet was quite good at absorbing sound. while the floorboards were being installed we had to reshuffle all our furniture and tidy up a lot of clutter which has accumulated over the past 27 years or so. i threw out what seems like endless boxes of high school text books, old clothes, worn out shoes, broken toys, VHS's of taped 1990s NBA games, obselete computer parts, floppy discs (5.25" as well as 3.5") and CDs (coastered and otherwise). But after all that i still have more junk than i can fit into my room.. wtf? i need to throw out even more stuff i think.. the filter needs to be a bit more coarse grained.. or im never gonna reduce it to a quantity which i can take with me when i move out.
