On Monday, the Blasters beat Baunfire 10-3.  I actually had a shutout into the second half... we were doing so well that i took more chances out in the field, with mixed results.  It was good to win, even though our opponents weren't very good.  We have another game tomorrow.

Last night, i played my first game with Fubar against Ball Busters.  This was in Men's Division 9 (there are 15), and the level of play was pretty high.  My teammates warmed me up with tough shots, and i'm glad they did, because our opponents opened the scoring with a shot straight into one of the upper corners.  Later they also got a shot that somehow bounced off the wall near the upper right corner, then somehow sliced into the goal — weirdest damn goal i've ever let in.  We went into the break 4-4, and finished strong, winning 10-6.  That was a really exciting and invigorating game due to the high level of play from both teams, so i'm really looking forward to next week's match.  Er, matches, as we're playing Wednesday and Friday.

So that makes 3 games this week.  Wow.  I was feeling really beat up last night (it was one of the infamous 23:25 games, plus i spent time at work on Tuesday and Wednesday lugging heavy equipment around), but Kim gave me the best backrub of my life and i felt fantastic today.  Well, except for Ecuador getting their asses kicked by Argentina 6-1 in the Copa América... ugh.

You -> man. I should find myself a sporting activity of some type other than walking everywhere. Although it sure works.

I should really walk some more and more often. Soccer isn't that much of a workout, since all i do is stand around and occasionally flop to the ground. And yet i'm wasted by the time the 50 minutes are over...
