Today's bullets

• Work is still sucky.
  • Plan: get into work early in order to leave early for practice guilt-free.
  • Reality: get into work late (9:10am), feel guilty about leaving work early anyway. (5:40pm)
  • Rationalization: "hey, I worked through lunch."
  • Overlooked: spent (time > 0) surfing through a few blogs (some old, and some new). Whoops.
• First day of disc practice. Whoo-hoo! We had enough to run sixes and it wasn't even that cold (although I did wear gloves). Probably mid-40's with 10-15mph gusts.
  • Bonus points: despite concerns that the ankle was still tender even after more than a week of inactivity, the ankle felt pretty good, even running at full tilt.
  • Yellow Card: I took a (cold, and thus HARD) disc to the nose. Ouch, that's gonna leave a mark.
  • Red Card: After taking a tumble in order to avoid cleating a teammate who had just made a spectacular layout catch, my shoulder is hurting again in that weird, not so good, tender and sore kind of way (as opposed to the normal tender and sore kind of way). I'm hoping it's just a bone bruise. I'd rather not see my doctor and have him tell me that I can't play, again. I had enough of the sidelines 2 years ago.
• Post-practice, I think I watched more television tonight than I have in the last 3 weeks. (not counting videos) I thought we were going to see a TiVo'd Daily Show, but halfway through they switched over to American Idol. How can people watch this crap?! Thankfully, I was able to clear my mental palate with the first half of the Women's NCAA Basketball Final before heading home.
• Remaining to do: Call the folks, study Chinese, go to bed.
