Last night's soccer game was a complete and utter bloodbath. We've played this team before and beat them, however their goalie was downright scary. She kicked the hardest I've ever seen a girl kick (our old goalie got out of the way of one of her goals for her own safety), and she takes up A LOT of the goal, which really hinders your ability to get around her. Tre managed to get a direct kick in, but to be honest, she didn't really try. How come I never get the chance to take the shot when the goalie doesn't try!? Anyway, they got up on us 5-1 in the first half because we looked like we'd never played soccer before.. EVER! It was painful to watch, and even more painful to be a part of! We came in guns blazing second half and while we didn't score, neither did they, so the game ended the same way the second half started. The ref was awful! He kept calling handballs, regardless of where the ball touched. Seriously, one ball hit someone's chest and another, their back. He was reaching and I don't think he's a big fan of us. Oh well.. These 10:00 games are really not good for the team, but we have another one next week so hopefully people get the chance to take a nap.

I was pretty disappointed when October Road was cancelled, but this perked me up just a litle bit!

Is George Clooney really going to suck it up and make a cameo appearance or two on ER? His camp isn't saying, but everyone else seems to think it's a done deal. I'll believe it when it comes out of his mouth, let's just put it that way!

Oscar nominations were announced this morning and there were some surprises and some really big snubs, one of which being Revolutionary Road. After Kate Winslet's double win at the Globes, she was nominated as Best Actress for her role in The Reader, because well.. who doesn't love a good Holocaust film? However, there were no other nominations (acting or directing) for the Globes Princess.

Benjamin Button almost tied Titanic for the most nominations, while Milk may have finally gotten the recognition it didn't receive from the Golden Globes. Personally, I'm shocked that Robert Downey Jr got nominated for Tropic Thunder. The Oscars aren't exactly notorious for recognizing comedic genius. Finally, Heath Ledger got his Oscar nomination (and one of very few for The Dark Knight) on the anniversary of his death.

My sister is out of town so I've got the house all to myself. I used that time to do Yoga on the Wii Fit and to run. I know, I use my time so wisely, don't I? I think I like yoga more than pilates. I don't necessarily feel either one of them the way I should, but I think I understand and am better at yoga than pilates.

I have too many shows to tape and watch at 9:00, so I need to get a move on. Enjoy your weekend and I'll give you a review of the Avenue Q show at Proctor's on Saturday night! I'm crazy excited about it.. I just can't wait to have others understand why I think it's so great! That, and I'm anxious to eat at Pinhead Susan's in Schenectady. I've never been there but I've heard a lot about it and since it's close to Proctor's, we're going to give it a shot.

And while I know he doesn't read or perhaps even know about this blog, Happy (early) Birthday Bill!!!!
