Daley just won his sixth term as da mayor.

Read all about it!

Haven’t seen this in what seems like a million years. There was a lot in the movie I couldn’t remember, but I don’t think it was just because of the ECT. It’s one of my favorite movies, so I’m not even going to review it.

The important thing is that I believe tonight (Saturday night) was the first time we’ve had guests at this apartment. My teammate Kristina, who Brian and I have now nicknamed “Hermione,” came over and we ordered in and watched HP. She drove in from the suburbs in snowy weather, which was really cool. Luckily, it stopped by the time she left, but if it hadn’t, of course she was welcome to spend the night.

We all realized — or rather, remembered — how Quidditch is similar to hockey, with the exception of the Seeker position. Kristina’s a Chaser and I, of course, am the Keeper.

Brian and I do need to socialize more, and it was nice to have someone over instead of always going to other people’s houses. The three of us agreed to watch the rest of the HP DVDs in the future, and maybe we ought to invite the Beaters and other Chasers on our team, too. :d

It totally rocked, and I had a great time. Not only that, I learned a ton of stuff, including things that I was taught to do by non-goalie coaches but that I really shouldn’t be doing.

I was the only female there last night, but everyone there treated me with respect. It was a lot of hard work, but I learned so much in just that one hour. Of course, this left me totally pooped for my team’s practice directly afterwards, but it was well worth it. I highly recommend Good as Gould for anyone wanting to learn to play goal or improve the skills they already have.

Brian took some pictures of our practice and scrimmage last night, which you can see here. Because we didn’t have many players show up last night, we ended up scrimmaging 3-on-3, which is why the rink looks so small.

The latest episode of CSI – Cat Scene Investigation involves murder, yet again. And who knew that sweet, innocent Basil could be guilty of a murder rap? Scroll down to see the crime photo. Click on it to see the rest of the photos, if you can stomach it. This happened while I was in the hospital two weeks ago, so thank God I didn’t witness any of this.

Just replace the word “man” in Cypress Hill‘s, “How I Could Just Kill a Man” with “mouse,” and there you have it. Never heard it before? Well, check it out!

Here’s an excerpt of the lyrics and you’ll see why it’s appropriate:

one time tried to come in my home take my chrome
I said yo it’s on. take cover son or you’re assed out
how do you like my chrome then I watched the rookie pass out
didn’t have to blast him but I did any way, young punk had to pay

According to the short version of my Yahoo! Astrology horoscope today: “Start something new — push yourself toward goals or experiences that you desire.” So tonight I’m going to try out the Good As Gould weekly goalie training program. The sessions are held at the same rink where my team practices, an hour before our ice time, so it’s super convenient.

I’m a bit nervous though, because, well, I’ve been anxious quite a bit lately as it is, but mainly because it’s mostly kids in the program. However, I talked to the owner, Stu Gould, this morning, and he assured me that I’d fit right in and the program would be perfect for me. Although there aren’t other women students, there are girls, including the daughter of a player on our White team, as well as a 35-year-old guy. I think he said they divide up the students between beginners and more experienced goalies, so I’ll be able to learn fundamentals.

Aside from my anxiety, only good things can come out of of this, since I’ve never had any goalie instruction whatsoever — I’ve never played on a team that has a goalie coach. Plus, the weekly fee is actually cheaper than a therapist’s office fee :d! The sessions run ’til the beginning of summer, so if I take any more jewelry classes, I’ll wait until then.
