it's been a while... not much. how 'bout you?

i used to blog so regularly. now, it seems, hardly at all. i can't say i have any excuses. just other priorities, i guess. it's been a cold and rainy fall, so i've hardly been biking. i was, however, in a hockey tournament last weekend. we played games thursday and friday night. then 2 on saturday. because we kept winning, we played 2 more on sunday, for a total of 6 games in under 72 hours. we won the tournament, so that was pretty exciting. but that's a lot of hockey games in a short time, and my body was aching for a few days. i felt like i was contributing to the team. i am not really a goal scorer but i scored 5 goals in the 6 games. then i had to jump right back into work this week with a teaching gig monday and tuesday. i find teaching to be somewhat enjoyable, but exhausting. i only do it a few times a year, and i think it went quite well. i guess it all caught up with me - on thursday night i got sick. real sick. i woke up with wicked pain in my stomach and spent most of the night in the bathroom. ill spare you those details, but i've been in bed most of the time since then, resting, sleeping, writing a little. i'm even blogging from the comfort of my bed, on my laptop, right now. oh the wonders of wireless technology... i have a hockey game tonight but i'm going to skip it. i just don't have the energy and i haven't been eating much.

i've been playing guitar a lot lately. i've learned some new songs - some snow patrol, and a song by the white stripes called 'we're going to be friends'. maybe i'll record them and put them up on my 360 page. oh, i also have a myspace. i don't know how much i'm going to use it - if i do, i'll forward the link in this blog. it's already hard enough update these blog entries onto 360, diaryland and blogspot. yeah, i'm lazy, i know...

i've been writing a bit too. poems and mindless stuff in my journal.

and hoepfully, i'll be writing in my blog a bit more frequently...
