the second phase

USC beat Cal tonight.  Shawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwweeet.  Eat that, Tommy Gun! ( Biaaaatch! )

1 team down, 2 to go.

Finally, we get a point in the standings. We fought out a tie with a team last night in our Men’s Over 30 soccer game. We would have won, but our goal at the buzzer was just half a second too late.

Final score was 7-7.

Makes your toes tingle.

But seriously, it’s alot nicer of an environment to run on.  Too bad I can’t use the Nike + Ipod with it.  I’m trying to think of a way to strap the sensor to my ankle or something.

I broke my toe in our soccer game last night. It hurts.

Well, we’ve got two games left to go.  We don’t have any wins ( or ties for that matter ), but everyone has been really enjoying just being out there and getting good exercise.  We had a game last night in which we actually did pretty well.  It was still a loss, but we’re getting better, slowly and surely.  After the season ends we have two weeks of rest, hopefully we’ll also get some other players that are interested although now that people are getting used to the speed, it is more of an issue of getting people playing time.

Nothing much has happened in other news.  Congratulations to Heather ( my cousin ) and her new husband Tom Cushman on their marriage.  It was a fun day, although it was way too hot.   The BBQ the next day was a great idea as well.

At home I’ve been playing SpellForce 2, which is a great game.  I tried to get the Tiger to play it but he’s too much of a wuss to do anything but work and play WoW.  I also have to go get my pilot’s license renewed this weekend, so wish me luck on that!

It’s hard. Really friggn’ hard. I went on Saturday with Brett, Adam and Garrett. It was quite fun to watch Garret knock the living snot out of the ball and then go up after him. Talk about pressure!

I didn’t do to well, obviously. My first time on a real golf course and even with our lenient scoring techniques ( ie.. hit 1.. hit 2.. uh, i’ll drop over there, thanks ), I still got a 124. Oh well, practice makes perfect, no? I’m going to try and hit up the range some more this week and maybe see about some lessons.

Also, have to thank Brett and Adam for generously supplying me with clubs and a bag so I can get started playing.

Another 8 months to go until football means anything again.

USC shoulda won.. (sigh).

Woo!

USC: 66
UCLA: 19

Yeah baby, that’s what it’s all about! Now if the Bengals can just pull it out…
