I really have no idea what went wrong with el blog here. I removed one link from the left hand nav and I guess, somehow removed the entire blog.html file. It's all good, though, because I'm back!

Friday night I went with Amy to the Ani DiFranco concert in lovely Berkeley. Being the Bay Area natives that we are, we took Bart up, her from the city and me from work in Oakland. When I got off the train, I saw a number of very hip-looking dykes with all manner of short hair and clothes I could never pull off (things with chains, big boots, baggy shorts that are frayed at the end, knit caps and more). I felt so straight among the crowd that I told Amy, I may as well suck dick, I'm so straight compared to these people. It was loads of fun and I did manage to find my orange colored glasses, which made me feel slightly less likely to date a man. Around 12:30 am, I rolled in to some pissed off dogs (a friend had stopped by to give them dinner) but I just told them to hush, that I deserve a life, too, ye bastards.

I spent the weekend running around getting things for various home improvement projects that are going on while Andrea's out of town (she returns on Friday, for those who were wondering) then doing those projects. Rainie is ever so helpful, wanting to stand between anything I'm working on and me. It was a fine weekend, though I was hit by extreme lonliness Saturday night. Linea came to my rescue and we had a fine dinner of frozen pizza at her new big-ass house. It was the perfect cure for my moment of lonlieness and it spurred me into action.

Sometimes I think this single living business is for the birds and sometimes it's really cool. I think it's only cool because I know it will end on Friday and I'll once again have someone to talk to and to help me walk the dogs (who are WAY too much for me to handle by myself out in public. Right now, Zeus' nickname is little asshole man).

Last night I subbed in for another hockey team in our league (we don't have a game until 7/16!). I had my first assist and we could have totally kicked ass but we only had enough kids for 2 lines and the other team, though slower, had 4 so they got much more time to rest. We just had enough time to feel like we needed more rest. But it was great fun and the Ice Hawks had their first win at our expense. They're a bunch of folks from my beginner hockey class so I was happy for them.

In other hockey news, I start the intermediate class on Saturday. After 3 sessions in the beginner, it's about damn time! I also start in the Women's league at Hockey Workout, home of the 2/3 sized rink and hot 3-on-3 hockey action. It's going to be a big weekend.
