Really need to start watching Fringe. I've seen about half of the first season, but haven't had any money for any of the seasons, nor do I own a computer onto which it can be downloaded.

Today was my last day at my terrible job. Went in hung over... wine sucks. Store manager pissed me off by making one of the female managers cry over nothing serious. Guess it makes people feel big to verbally abuse others. /shrug

You might be able to watch enough of the episodes on Fox that you could get caught up. This season is just 3 episodes in right now.

I had security detail at work last night. 8 hours alone if a factory during the midnight shift is a blast. I did get to bring my dog, so there was something to do at least.

The rest of the weekend should be pretty mundane for me.

Tonight: Taking Charmaine to a field hockey training camp.

She tried out for the 6th grade spots on her school's team last year and didn't make it so she's aiming to get one of the 7th grade spots this year. Her school is a heavy-hitter for field hockey and it's beyond competitive. I hope she make it this year.

Will she still be able to go for photo shoots and the like with missing teeth, broken nose and black eyes?

A girl in our high school took one of those field hockey clubs to the jaw during a game. Not only did it break her jaw (which had to be wired shut), 3/4 of her face was a bright purple shade for the next week. Horrible.

I've warned Charmaine of what can happen on the field. She knows she's risking losing gigs if something happens on the field. But since she's still a kid and she's not pursuing the entertainment industry full time to pay bills and make a living, I'm not concerned. She wants to have fun, so let her have fun.

And now, I'm sure I've jinxed myself with that statement. The moment she gets cast for some major project is the moment she ends up with black eye and a missing tooth.

Good on her. Though, I've always maintained that high school girls' field hockey is one of the most violent, barbaric sports ever played. Get a bunch of hormonal teenage girls together and let them loose with clubs? Yeah, what do you think is gonna happen...

These posts lead me to conclude that Americans ******* fail at hockey.
Really, sticks (not clubs, sticks) should never go much higher than waist height, the ball almost never passes knee height.
The only serious danger is with penalty corners when you get near professional level play. Of course there's some accidents but I've only seen something bad happen once in 10 years of playing.

That said, that was a guy who got the ball straight in the nuts. It hurt just to see it.

You have to get one of their little boxes to access the rest of the channels. The Comcast guy here told me that it's no extra charge. We need one for our bedroom, I just haven't gone to the Comcast office to pick one up.

I see. I've always had no problem going up to the mid 60's by just plugging in directly. Well it's good to know that they won't charge extra for a basic box, I guess I'll zip on over to the office sometime this week.

Change them from wood to metal and you have a 3 iron, commonly known as a club.

They're all made of synthetic materials nowadays anyway. Wood sticks have a tendency to break with some of the new(er) techniques.

Yes they do. At least in the Netherlands, Germany, Australia, New Zealand, Spain, India, China, South Africa and Pakistan. (And some other countries as well, but I think I've got most of the big countries covered)

School wise, what season is it? We do it in autumn here, it's almost exclusively female. Our male sports in autumn are Soccer, American Football, and cross country running.

It's not related to schools, but there's an 8-10 week break in the winter and something similar in the summer.
And over here hockey is kind of the rich kids sport.

Do the same people play ice hockey and field hockey? Do they just shift seasons? I'm totally ignorant about this.
