so now i know how yankees feel when they say y'all. i went to my first hockey game last night at philips arena as the the thrashers took on the washington capitals (i almost said nationals, but that, we know, is baseball.)it was fun, i have to admit. a lot of fun.
i played the one-hundred-one question game in the beginning and quickly realized that hockey doesn't have a lot of rules and, oh, about two penalties. they just get out there, skate and try to knock the puck into the net.
oh! i did learn that the puck was plastic and it's frozen before games to keep it from bouncing on the ice.
atlanta won 5-3.
brad, matt, joe and i went and walked from brad's place at five points. i had felt like shit with my sinuses going crazy but they cleared, weirdly enough, right before the game.
oddly enough, after the game was over, they went crazy again. i got chills and my body ached. i could barely walk without moaning. it was crazy. so... i went to sleep only to wake up around five a.m. almost in tears. it was a mess.
i took a really hot bubble bath, which eased my muscles but did little else. i woke up drenched in sweat about nine and couldn't go back to sleep until eleven or so. it's been a rough night and i still sound like i'm talking into a barrell.
jennifer called. she and wendell are on their way to get me to go home for easter. should be interesting... more on that as it develops.
tom just told me he has two braves tickets. damnit. i won't be here! and, jason wanted to take me to lunch tomorrow. damnit. oh well, raincheck?
