Well, Saturday I went to a family party, and we sat around and watched football and rented movies. Trully is the easiest person to go to Blockbuster with, because every movie you suggest to rent she says 'YES!'. I guess you don't get to watch a lot of movies out in Brazil. SO we rent 6 movies, because she has a lot to catch up on. We get back, throw in 'The Scorpion King', which was her first choice to watch, and she falls asleep halfway.

Later that night me and Dave met up with some co-workers to watch the Chicago Wolves home opener. We played against Cincinatti Mighty Ducks and spanked their mighty little asses 8-4. Hockey games are fun to watch. Especially when they fight! But Saturday I was about 2 feet from getting hit by a flying puck. Someone tried a slapshot on the goal and it ricocheted off the gaolies mitt and flew into the crowd. It was the freakiest thing seeing it fly towards me. I had a slow reaction and ducked afterwards. Looking back, it seemed like it was in slow motion. It eventually hit a guy on the chest, but what a trooper, he had the presence of mind to catch it. After the game, we partied at Boogie Nights. In a way, I prefer dorky places like Boogie Nights, where you don't have to care how you're dressed, or how your dancing to the 'be seen' places that I've gone to before. It's a lot more fun when you don't have to worry about how you look. Dave didn't think that he would be he had a really good time, too. There's so much humor to be found when watching the crowd in places like that!

Yesterday we played Whirlyball against some clients. We didn't have a good turnout of people from the company, but we beat our client nonetheless. I scored a couple games, which I'm happy about, and I had some pretty good assists and passes. However, I got hit pretty badly a couple times, so I'm really sore. There was one time when I got hit at full speed with my back turned (a total cheap shot), so I didn't even have a chance to prepare myself and I think I may have done something to my neck. But that's ok, because he was a sucky player and he had no game. That, and I got a couple of good shots on him later on, as did Bryan. If you're ever in Chicago, I'll take y'all out to play. It's a good time.
