It was not my usual saturday night, which I spend marking, reading, or surfing. I went to Pavan's party and I was having a lovely time. I particularly enjoyed the Twister tournament. Around midnight, I was suddenly having trouble making small talk. Too tired to be sociable, not wanting the fun to end. Peter and Mike were going dancing, so I invited myself along. Trodd's jaw just about hit the floor when he found out I was going to the Guvernment. Yes, I prefer singing along to lyrics but I was able to get into dancing anyway. What people don't realise is that I really like dancing. I went out every three or four nights a week when I was in Zurich.
A few thing that struck me about the experience.
-The amount of money involved is crazy. Between cabs, cover, and a couple of SOFT drinks, $50 was gone in two hours.
-They mean business when they frisk you. She knows whether they're fake or real.
-Most people dance pretty much the same way to techno that they do to top-forty.

curling end of season
I curled three times this week.
We won a game on Monday, which kept us in the playoffs. We lost on Wednesday, which should have left us in 5th. The winners on Wednesday (Bill David's rink) won the right to play for 3rd on Saturday. But the other team in the 3/4 game couldn't play on Saturday, so we were invited to play. We won that game, which put us in third, kinda.
In our 3/4 game, we had a 6 point lead after 6 ends of 8 but we then needed to play a 9th end. oops. And we had an audience. The other 10 teams playing for 3/4 just finished and 12 teams playing for 1/2 were about to start. So everyone saw me fall on my butt while sweeping and then saw our skip, Leigh, draw to the button for a one-point win. phew!
I'm playing Mondays again next year and hoping to find a team for Fridays for me and Dion.

no wonder I have a headache
I think I'm working 65 +/- 5 hour weeks. But I wouldn't change a thing.
Oddly, I think the headache is a result of sleeping for 11 hours. I don't move much in my sleep and I woke up in an odd position.
