life goes on, another day, same old shit, blah blah blah...

...actually its not that bad. After a half-assed day at work yesterday, today was one of those days I had that tiptoes along the line between "easy" and "mind-numblingly boring." If I had had to do it much longer, or faced the prospect of doing it every day, I'd certainly be unhappy about it. Tomorrow is looking like maybe another half-assed-type day, hopefully not dreadfully boring, but I certainly dont want to have to work hard either... HA!

Last night I actually played well for the first tiome in a while in my indoor soccer game, but for a couple defensive lapses I was heinously guilty of. Oh, but the Game is a cruel bitch, she is, as we lost 10-9. It was an interesting game, we fell down 5-0, fought back to 5-4, had it tied at 8-8 before giving up a couple of quick, late goals, then got one back with seconds remaing, then had a free kick from the "red line" (think the blue line in hockey) with seconds left.

Lingering soreness in my legs, along with the nice thingh bruise right above my knee, kept me to a truncated version of my stair workout this afternoon/evening. Normally I would try to do stairs on a Monday or Friday, depending, but this week is Different. At least I did something.

I've been watching a bit of the NHL playoffs, and in the shock of the year so far, the Mighty Sucks of Anaheim SWEPT the defending Stanley Cup Champs Detroit Red Wings last night. I watched much of the 2nd and 3rd periods, including the OT. My favorite national sports broadcasting duo, Gary Thorne and Bill Clement, were up to their usual postseason standards calling the game. Good stuff. Even though I've been a bit of a quasi-bandwagon Red Wings fan for about 9 years now, I'm not all that disappointed they've lost. I've been thinking all year that their time is done now, and I'd like to see some new blood. That goes for the Dallas Stars and Colorado Avalanche as well, although I guess I could stand to see the Stars win it all (I have a soft spot for Mike Madano, he's just a great player). I do feel bad for CuJo (Detroit goalie Curtis Joseph), who I've been a bit of a fan of for years now. I would have liked to see him win the Cup, al'la Hasek last year. I don't want to talk about the Canucks right now, who face elimination tomorrow night against St. Louis.
