I hate fucking bugs! I've been sitting here for the past hour writing a new long detailed account of my adventures away from the keyboard and was foolish enough to want to link to a URL...entry exits stage right. I've been fooling around w/ the beta ver. of the new layout now for 2+ months and have been underwhelmed. To find out that all of the problems are still present makes me truely wonder if this place will continue to earn my next $18. *grumble & grr* All links that would normally be embedded, I'll spell out 'cause well, they're worth it. I hope yer down w/ the ctrl-c & ctrl-v!
Let's see... My last post had commented on ever-greyed AmazonRed13's shaky skating skills and her desire talk up the CT Rollergirls (http://www.ctrollerderby.com). After practicing her ass off weekly (and getting pointers from half the population at adult skate night at Wheel World, http://www.wheelworldskateclub.com), she is now a full-fledged member of the team. She adopted the moniker Susan B. Anarchy and when not delivering back-handed bruises, our friend is happily residing in MySpace (http://www.myspace.com/misshugginkiss).
Speaking of new league membership, I was pestered to the point of joining up, as well... As the league is just getting off the ground, they're in dire need of everything from EMT's for bout medical attention to sporting goods hook-ups. Happily they also needed referees! I've been skating with them now for a little under a month and have completely caught the bug... Anytime now not laced up and laping others is time wasted.
Practice consists of performing all of the same drills that the girls are hurled through...speed drills, endurance and sprinting, taking lots of falls, bumping, blocking, throwing and punching for two hours, twice a week. I have the added duty though of memorizing a huge chunk by league by-laws, handed-down missives and other rulings, destined to soon be written up on a flash card. Recent skating plans have included hauling out DarkRabbit, ElmCityDrunk and RxQueen for shaky laps on crappy rental skates and only a single wipe out!
-A quick self pat on the back! I was so foolish to have wanted to include a smiley face after that last paragraph but after carefully typing out everything again this last half-hour, I lit up and copied this whole entry first. Good thing too as clicking on anything delivers to the main page. *grrr & grumble*-
In other exciting news, happily-grey CthuluLu has finished her 15+ month long nursing program! She finished at the top of her class (of course) and is speedily trying to rejoin normal daily living...eating lots of salad, nuzzling and shooting things on Star Wars Galaxies. For the curious, she's been residing on MySpace, as well (http://www.myspace.com/thulu).
Perhaps lastly, I'm really excited at being able to spend the tale end of next week wholed up in a lakeside cabin in upstate NY, near literal stones thrown from Canadaland. AR13 won a work raffle for a week at this amazing time-shared cabin w/ its own dock, boats and raft. The only thing I'm kicking myself over is not maxing out my vacation time to've spent the entire week there. *beats self up slightly*
