Well, that's the end of netball for me. I'm not playing again next season, much to their disappointment. I'm kinda in a bit of pain today though. I got a cramp in my calf and both arms were corked. There's a significant lump on my left forearm. I cannot lift anything today. You should see me limply pulling open doors with both hands. Hilarious

Hmmm... not a whole lot to say ( Read more... )

Why is it that people who pre-anticipate when the lights will change to green - just touching the car forward a little before realising they're too early - have the reaction speed of a slug when the lights do actually change? Do they figger two wrongs make a right and so not reacting now makes up for reacting earlier ( Read more... )

Crap. The fine line of leadership diplomacy is ruined by one of the backbench teammates who should know better. After I had to shaft two players for the finals - which was the right decision given the results - some crowing was done about how much better those who played were. Now one guy, who's ego and confidence was already quite fragile, has to ( Read more... )

I played netball last night. I used to really enjoy it, but I think I've moved on. It was kinda like going back in time, regressing, not moving forward. There's a been there done that aspect to it. Last night's game showed just how many leg injuries I have from playing squash, but the thing is that I like squash more - sore legs included. I'll play ( Read more... )

It's been an interesting coupla days for squash. I filled in on Monday for cRes and broke my racquet. Yeah, that was pretty annoying. It's a flaw in my style of play that I've got to work on. But I won in 5 sets with a borrowed racquet, so... well really I do have a bit to complain about, but when the endorphins kick in things just seem better. I ( Read more... )

Ben is sleepy today. Someone was foolish enough to order Buffy season 5 for himself and then stayed up until 1:30am watching the first half of them. You'll notice that it's 9am and that I have been at work for 1.5 hours already. Ben is sleepy, headachy, speaking in the third person, and wanting to go home and finish the job ( Read more... )

Feeling rather ordinary today, pretty much due to lack of sleep. Michael and Tina forgot to turn off the central heating again and my room turned into some kinda desert. So, after getting to sleep at 11pm, I was up for another coupla hours from 2am and then backup again at 6am. My stomach is upset, and filling it with food has not done much good. ( Read more... )

Somehow, through fate rather than talent, we won last night's netball grandfinal (held at bloody 9:30pm). I really don't know how, considering half our team are talentless hacks. (Now tell us what you really feel.) Obviously some poor decisions on behalf of the other team aided us in some way, because the umpiring certainly didn't. That woman has ( Read more... )

netballgrandfinalness++ as of last night. In a 15 goal turnaround from last week when we played them, we defeated our nemeses by 9 goals. Yay to us in our increased ability to pass and catch the ball. And, in a certain mirrored syncronocity with tuesday night's team, our goal defence can't make it because he'll be in Adelaide. I have the potential ( Read more... )
