Dodgeball, Meatless May and Primer - talk about eclectic!

Just came home from my Dodgeball game; we only had six players and we were up against our arch-nemeses in the final regular season game of the year.  No big deal...we still won 14-7 and are heading into playoffs with an undefeated record!  Normally I can just kinda hang around chatting at the back of the gym, but since we didn't have any subs I had to actually step up and help out tonight!

We've never won the championship as a team before, but I have a feeling this is going to be our best chance...

In other news, Meatless May is drawing to a close.  (In case you don't know what that is, for the last 4 years, I choose one month to be vegetarian...just for the challenge)  Normally I do it in March, but I was in Montreal this March (and I couldn't miss out on those smoked meat sandwiches) so I figured as long as I kept the alliteration going it would be okay!  No real hardships this year again, although I do still crave sushi ALL THE TIME.  First meal back will absolutely be either some Spicy Tuna rolls or a good chinese dinner!

Watched the movie "Primer" again last night.  Man, that flick really makes me think - if you haven't seen it yet, I highly suggest it!  (only if you like scientific time-travel movies though)  What are your thoughts on time-travel?  Is it possible?  Can you change the past?  I'm of the school that says it is possible, but only to the past and only your consciousness can travel there.  What do you think?

There's a first post for everything...

MyWebSpace, Windows Messenger, MSN Messenger, Flickr, MySpace, Facebook...I've had a blog-type thing on all of them, so it should come as no surprise that I (finally) have jumped into this new pool that is Blogger.  Sometimes you just need a place to write some stuff, you know?

(Like where else could I casually mention that Red Wings fan that was just shown on CBC double-bird-flipping-off the ref during the scoreless second period of Game 5 of the Western Conference Finals?)

Anyways...I don't think there will be a theme or anything for this blog just yet; until I get in the habit of updating continually I'll just keep it casual for now.  Time to watch this Blackhawks powerplay...talk to you later!
