walking with my crotch wide open
Owww...certain parts of my body are unused to sprinting while wearing a waffled runner's jock strap during rugby practice. Things are a bit raw here and there today. Plus, both my big toes shall soon re-emerge from their blistered chrysalis as brand new pretty pink digits that will eventually form hard exoskeletons of their own for the season.
Other than that, my first practice this season last night went well. I am thankful I have been running, biking and doing the stairmaster a lot this summer. As usual, we have lots of new players who outnumber the veterans. Many past players are still on vacation though. This year the new guys are pretty darn good, with only one rugby virgin at last night's practice. The rest seem to either have had football experience, or previous rugby experience. We have two new cuties from England, and one from France, and they are clever mofos. Oh, and we now have a sign language interpreter for our new deaf players. That was interesting to watch, and after practice I found myself looking at people's hands and trying to read as I rode my bike home.
So people have been getting sick here at work lately. I wish to avoid further intestinal discomfort, as I've had plenty of my own lately.
Jimbo: "So Greg, I was hoping I could come over and get those screen shots."
Greg the Grad Student: "Well, I'm in my office tomorrow, but I've had a bit of a fever..."
Jimbo: "Oh, no, no, that's OK, that's fine, just select four screen shots and e-mail them to me...no problem!"
I've been writing a lot of articles for work this week, and I'll have to say blogging every day has prepared me for speed-writing under deadlines.
Perseid meteor showers tonight/early tomorrow morning. Kind of moot in the District, where the haze and constant city lights make viewing celestial bodies far from optimal. I remember Hale-Bopp though...that was cool.
PJ got me on a Human League groove. They are highly underrated. I'm all about Mirror Man, Keep Feeling Fascination, and Together In Electric Dreams these days.

Ummm...according to the unofficial HL site, it's "(Keep Feeling) Fascination". Regardless, that was one of the songs where a deep bass line and those synth drums got my 16 year old booty moving. Lord, that was back in the day.

Jimbo, do you need soothing ointments for your crotch? I volunteer to apply said ointment...

You are welcome to join me at the top of mount tamalpais for a viewing. We'll be lying on our backs and dreaming of the ephemera of it all--and without convenioneers anywhere.

I wish we had y'all recruiting problems. We're just at 25 members. And five rookies.
