Woo. Soccer is really pushing me to the limits of my body. I'm currently playing in a co-ed rec league, which suits me fine, mostly because it's more friendly than the men's leagues, but also because hey, it's co-ed. Anyway, I sprained my left ankle last Thursday, and it's still not 100%, and yesterday I strained my right hamstring. So now I can't even limp around, I just hobble. But I still love it. It's fun, it's exercise, and if it wasn't so bloody hot and humid outside in Houston, it would be perfect. Plenty of people on the team like to drink beer after the games, and we're highly overeducated (several Ph.D's, some architects, engineers, and more) so there's always interesting conversations as well.

Well, I'm going to go back through old entries soon and revise things to make it so that the audio archives auto-updates itself whenever I add something new. Expect the last couple of weeks of mp3 archives to go up soon; those might be the last for a while depending on how well I like Final Scratch.
