Woo-hoo! What a great night. Just got back from my pick-up soccer league. No, I didn't exact my revenge on Bill. (See yesterday's post) He was there, but obviously so afraid of me, that he made sure we were wearing the same colors. I didn't have the chance. Doesn't matter. There's still two more weeks in this session. Plenty. Of. Time.
And I got a hug from one of the cute guys on my team. Sure, I had to get hurt first. He was taking a shot; it didn't curve as he had hoped, and I caught it on the side of the head as I was running towards the net. My ear was glowing a pretty shade of red. But Jordy felt so aghast at pegging me...hence the hug. Brave of him to do so; it was towards the very end of the game, and by that point I looked (and smelled) pretty awful.
And speaking of bad smells...I don't think this cast is going to make it another two weeks. After two soccer games, I think the padding inside is rather, um, nasty. And the cast is fairly loose. I can't pull it all the way off, but I'm making good progress. If I apply myself, I could get this thing off in 3 weeks instead of four.
I was thinking I should probably get to bed soon. Tomorrow is Nursing Home Tuesday. (Or, I guess today is.) We've missed two weeks due to the wrist fiasco, so I'm excited to get back. So is Hoocher. He hasn't been himself lately. I think he misses the old timers.
So. Bed. Yeah....I can't sleep. I'm too wound up. Guess I'll browse a bit and see what's new in the 'sphere.
Oh, I almost forgot. Alec Baldwin is a twit. He was being interviewed on NPR's Fresh Air program tonight. He implied that actors apparently don't feel free to broadcast their political views because they will get slammed by the right-wing slanted media. When asked for an example, he said, "Oh....FOX." Oh sure, Alec...FOX. Of course. I can't believe legislation hasn't been introduced by the Democrats yet to break this obvious media monopoly. He also went on to say that people like Ann Coulter and Rush Limbaugh are out to ruin the careers of liberal actors. I couldn't change the station; it was the audio version of a car crash, and I was a gawker.
I really need to go to bed.

We can only hope.
I'm still waiting for him to leave the country.

Posted by: MP at December 10, 2003 11:25 AMBaby powder? Wouldn't it get all caked up and create other problems?
Posted by: Matthew at December 11, 2003 08:25 AMI was wondering the same thing, Matthew. However, if it starts to smell, I'll be doing some lesser-of-two-eviling.
Posted by: Cathy at December 12, 2003 09:27 AMWhen you power a baby's butt and then slap a water-proof diaper on it, the powder doesn't cake up, now does it? The baby powder trick worked for me - just a suggestion.
Posted by: MP at December 12, 2003 02:33 PMMP I wouldn't know if it does or not. I've never changed a diaper. I'm a single guy. I'll take your word for it though.
Posted by: Matthew at December 12, 2003 08:27 PMSo, true, MP! However, I'm pretty sure my cast doesn't have that wonderful diaper material on the inside that wicks moisture away from the skin's surface.
I'm giving the b.p. a try, though!
