What a strange night....

5:00 pm - Leave work. Headed to Maida Vale to play some footie (soccer)

5:45 pm - Get to Maida Vale field. Team is no where to be found (game starts at 6)

6:00 pm - Team shows

6:07 pm - I brought my own boots but was unable to use them on the new turf field just installed. So have to resort to borrowing some shoes from a teammate. These are NOT soccer boots. The soles are like 2 inches thick and i know im in for some trouble. Add that to the fact they play me at right midfield...

6:08 pm - Kick-off

6:09 pm - First touch in 3 weeks. A nice one. Take the ball from a thrown and bring it down smoothly with the thigh and play it back. Good start

6:11 pm - Second touch. Ball swung wide to me on a break and i am tackled from behind (probably a clean play). I yell and get the call. Teammates love it already

6:13 pm - Running down a ball on the sideline. Their player gets to the ball first and saves it. As i turn around i twist my ankle. The same ankle i did in 2 months ago. It hurts like hell. I cant even move. I feel like im going to throw-up and cry all at the same time. I wanna break something. I played 5 mins

7:00 pm - After watching the rest of the half and thanking the team for the stellar 5 minute run, i hobble my way back to the tube for a miserable commute back home on one leg

8:00 pm - Get home. Cook dinner. Planned on baking some chicken and cooking up some pasta. Pasta worked out, chicken didnt. I have no idea how to work the oven, known over here as the cooker. The name is so simple isnt? Its functions are not.

9:00 pm - Get in bed to finish Tuesdays With Morrie (while icing the fat ankle i have)

9:40 pm - A couple welcomed phone call interruptions from the states stunt the reading excercise a bit

11:00 pm - back to reading and im determined to finish the book. Only about 40 pps left

11:05 pm - Hear some yelping from outside my window. I look to find out what it is. Look out my window and look all around. Cant see or hear anything. Back to reading.

11:20 pm - Hear the same sound again. Go back to the window and look again. More observant this time i look down and see in the window to the right and below me, a computer screen...rocking porn. Can hardly make it out, but it si definitely porn. But no people. And I know what i heard was a person so i move to the living room and look out the window. Ill let you guess what i saw in their living room....

11:30 pm - Shut all doors and windows. Finish Tuesdays With Morrie and go to bed. Its a great book and will make you look at your personal relationships in a new light....
