whaaa happened?

don't know why i'm calling this post "weekend schmeekend", because that makes it sounds like it wasn't a good one. actually, it was.

went to see the new Harry Potter movie on friday night and i enjoyed it a lot more than the 3rd movie. dark, but that was expected. as always, i can't wait for the next one.

after coming to lab for a teeny bit on saturday morning, i went home and helped Justin clean our place. it wasn't too bad, but we had company coming over so it was a good excuse to get our act together. got some veggies and dip ready, made some cupcakes, drooled while Justin bbq'd some teriyaki flank steak strips, and then once company arrived we watched episode iii of star wars. finished off the night by playing 4-player tetris, then crawled into bed.

slept in sunday, played some tetris and some goldeneye with Justin, then headed to hockey. the benches were short, but not too short for 4 on 4. lots of ice time, which is always good. for some reason there was lots of bumping and banging around, and i couldn't stay on my feet to save my life. i first went down when i lost an edge or something (probably just stupidity on my part) and slid into the boards pretty hard. i just remember thinking i didn't want to go in feet first, so i managed to turn and went in with my left shoulder and hip. um, ow. but not too bad. later on i was facing away from the boards trying to make a play on the puck when i see this white blob (my team was green) coming at me full speed. i did something with the puck (can't remember what) and then got my arms up to cushion the blow of her coming into me and smooshing me into the boards. always nice when someone stops that way. she apologized right away - and profusely after the game - and i know it wasn't malicious or intentional, but still - ow!

i was complaining about my right shoulder before the game because i had slept on it weird and it just felt like it needed to pop but wouldn't. at least the messed-up-ness was balanced across my body by now. the coup de grace came when i was skating to head behind the net and ran into Susan S. my advice: don't run into Susan S.! i fell backwards and bonked my head - waah! i still feel bad for shouting "fu(ker!!!" really loud, because it was out of frustration, i didn't want anyone to feel it was directed at them. i got to the bench a bit wobbly, pissed off, and dizzy. looking back, it probably wasn't the best idea to keep playing, but the benches were short and i didn't want to sit. my first few steps onto the ice each shift were a bit wobbly, and i didn't have as much balance as i normally do (i know, that's not much!) but i finished the game and got to see TQ's first ever goal - a sweet one from near the right corner, and 3 from Andrea. whooo, secretweapon!

woke up this morning and my head is better - no spinning yet - but my neck is sore. and so is my shoulder. so between that and a very full bench, i'm sitting at home tonight instead of skating with AT2.
