I'd tweet this but...

I'm sure there are people in other time zones as much as my own that don't want their phone abuzzing at this time of night. 

We ended up having 7 skaters, so we were able to play with no major worries. I had neither points nor penalties but I did have a really sweet break-away with a back-hand shot on goal. The stupid goalie just had  to go and catch it. I also had some other shining moments where forward momentum was not mine to be had and instead of moving the puck along the boards, I speared myself on my own stick. Hey! Winter Olympics, I'm over here!! 

Cooking to kill time.

I'm attempting another Sunday night cooking-to-kill-time meal. 

Tonight's experiment:

Garlic quinoa with garlic and chardonnay chicken. 

It's a good thing I like garlic. And that I'm single. That's quite alot of garlic going on in that meal.

Summer means:

Calavasitas and sopa de fideo with fresh flour tortillas.

A trip to Whiskey Row.

Sweating your (pick a body part) off by 11 am.

Looking at the pool because it's too hot to go into it.

Golf at good and not so good courses because you can finally afford to play 18 with a cart because you will be sweating that body part off.

Being busy at work. 

A visit back home because you can.

Concert season! The goths and metal heads should be out in full force for this season's show: Rockstar Mayhem tour. Nothing says crazy like wearing all black to an all day outdoor concert in the Valley in the middle of July. Or wearing more heat tolerant colors but still going.

Movies. The East L.A. buddies and I will be going to see The Dark Knight and Hell Boy II. 

I have a weird head.

I went to the ENT today. Everything appears normal, I have to start using the nasal spray I was prescribed much earlier. Your ear and nose connected? Who woulda thunk it. It has also been suggested that I see a TMJ doctor because my jaw pops quite loudly and moves off to the side. It's done that for years, I think I'll probably skip that $40 co-pay. Thanks anyway!

Time to go to Zumba!

Dear Bi-polar boy:

FOR PETE'S FRICKING SAKE!

Yup, join the Na\/Y and see the world through a porthole.

The Hulk

I went and saw The Incredible Hulk last night. My overall review? there's really not a good time to go to the bathroom. It's a pretty solid movie. Which was sort of unfortunate as we had been to two different bars before going to the movie.

BP

I went on date #2 with the guy from Monday. He called me.

It's all progress.

In case you were wondering....

Just sayin...

A red heirloom tomato with a bit of salt is amazingly tasty.

Well...

I got my explanation.

Kinda.

Suffice to say I was dumped.

I still say I'm on the DL but I'm up for batting practice. I have a date tomorrow night. If nothing else comes of it, I missed out on the gym but got to have dinner outside of the apartment.

Dinner tonight:

Quinoa mixed with lemon juice, dried cranberries, and mandarin oranges. Yummy. Oh yeah, and a beer.

I'm on the prowl for more recipes for quinoa.

EDIT:
I found and made a recipe using black beans as a major ingredient. It tastes like a chili. Yummy! I have lunch for tomorrow and have found a cheap side (or main) dish to add to my r'epertoire. Hooray for healthy food!

I like the idea of lists. It's a good way to clean out your head; get the things that have been rattling around out on to paper where it will sit in peace. It's nice to cross items off of a list. It's disappointing to see things not get crossed off (or watch the thing grow, seemingly out of control) but it's a visual reminder that I tend to need at times. I've noticed that I work with piles, it annoys me but apparently I operate ok with them. I have a nifty little stack o' stuff on my desk at work right now. I go through it about once a month and try to figure out what gets filed, round filed, or left there 'cause I'm not sure where it should go.

I found this particular list through her site. I've been going to the spinning classes at my gym for more months than I thought I would. Biscuit teaches this form of torture in her neck of the woods. I enjoy hearing about the class from a teacher's perspective. Biscuit is a mini-hero of mine because she rides a real bike as well as a 'spinning' bike. I'm too chicken to go out on a real road. I have this thing about my perceived lack of balance. Asphalt and physics can make for a neat combination of pain and road-rash. Between Biscuit, my friend Hover and my enjoyment of spinning; I'm actually thinking about seeing what it takes to get certified to teach spinning. I have no idea if I will actually do this, it could sit in my head like my ideas of moving back to the great northwet or joining the USNR or getting another tattoo.

Maybe I should make a list of what to do first.

No words.

I just found out that the child of a good friend of mine has been diagnosed with autism.

Err...

I filled the prescription the doctor gave me. It's got a fun-looking dosing schedule. I'm still debating on taking it or just waiting this thing out.
