blog failure

Well well well. Its been a long long while since I last updated with my personal derby news. A lot has happened. A) My knee is better. Still a wee bit tender, but with my new kneepads on, falling on it causes no pain. B) I am now a member of a team. Yes. Ladies and gentlemen and anonymous blog-readers, I am now a member of La Racaille. My world has officially become all green and silver. GREEN and SILVER.

I had my first team practice 2 Sundays ago. It was magical. I had just started a serious cough (which may or may not have turned into bronchitis) which caused me to have to sit out a wee bit because I couldn't breathe properly. The exercise made my sick more sick. So I've got myself a doctor's note excusing me from practice. With the crazy prescriptions cough syrup the doc hooked me up with, I'm hoping to be in tip-top shape for the next team practice on Sunday.

In other news, I decided to pimp out my skates. In order to add a little team spirit to my footwear, I added some shiny silver to my lovely black skates. And when the time comes to buy new wheels, i'll get some green ones. I'm pretty sure the paint will wear out/get scraped off on the track, but I've got ample silver paint ready to be used for touch-ups.
