yay hockey! but boo, stupid wolves! what an exciting game, though. rob was late getting there because of work, so he heard the first goal on the radio on his drive in. exelby was being a big goon. i can't believe that he only got thrown in the box once. actually, their whole team was gooning. they had 3 penalties going at one time and my mom was all upset about the fact that it didn't leave them with only 2 players on the ice. heh. wow, 61 shots on goal - of course they did play 94 minutes of hockey. also, yay for my boyfriend scoring a goal! man. look at that DOB: 11/16/81. good god, he's just a baby. oh well, he's still a cutie with his red hair, and that's all i'm gonna say about that.

they gave out 'rally towels' to the first 2,000 people there last night. actually, i think they gave away more than 2,000 because we actually managed to get one. normally when the # of anything they are giving out is that small, we're out of luck. anyway, the label on the rally towel proclaimed 'made in pakistan'. hmm. i made some comment about the people who actually made the damn things wondering something similar to "what the fuck?" and rob's comment was "towels for the infidels!" i dunno, it was just bugging me all night for some reason. for once i think 'made in china' would have actually been comforting.

what other news do i have? hmm. well, my back still hurts. damn me and my stupid non-healthy back. i had scoliosis surgery when i was 15. can i just say that sucked? 'cause it did. of course without it i'd be so much worse off now, but still. ouch. rob & i were in a minor car accident about 3 1/2 years ago (we got rear-ended) and after going to the doctor complaining of back & neck pain, i found out through x-rays that my rod was broken. oh yay! however, after going back to the doctor who actually performed my surgery, we were told that this was fairly common and that i had nothing to worry about. i guess you have to trust the doctors, right, but man - every time i look at that x-ray it still looks completely fucked up. it makes you think that rod should be sticking straight out of my back (which of course it's not). yesterday my back was hurting so much that i went and bought on of those work belt things. i feel like a big dummy walking around with it on when i'm not actually doing any work, but it seems like the lumbar support is helping. i've just been wearing it off & on - or i'll put it on when i have to get down on the floor for something, like tending to ms. zira. i just wish my back would heal already as this whole pain thing is really getting quite tiresome.
