So I went last night to touch rugby because the weather was so nice and then there were not very many people and three of them had never played before and then the lights on the fields were not working for some reason and then it got really, really dark so then we turned on all our car headlights which made us all even more blind and the score was tied for a good half hour since nobody could catch the ball anymore.
Good times.
So apparently, if you use this particular link you get free shipping on the unframed prints. Don’t forget there are different sizes! Wink wink, nudge nudge.
It’s good through Sept. 16th (Sunday): http://society6.com/signalite?promo=d7ec2d
Should I ever have the time.
Super Monkey Bros. - A pair of young brothers see the world through 8-bit goggles.
Gymnopédie - Fictional biography about Erik Satie. Hammer space umbrellas.
Time Traveling Noodle Shop - Like a culinary Dr. Who who messes with the time/space recipe by adding different spices.
Rugby Rumblers - Lonely kid joins an imaginary rugby team. Makes friends/nemeses with a monster or two.
Chronicles of Prydain - A proper adaptation of the Lloyd Alexander books.
Dreamland Detective Agency - A girl solves mysteries for inhabitants of the subconscious realm.
Since I find that I stick to it more when I report in about whether or not I arose from my rump and lifted heavy things or ran up and down hills on any given day, it is time to start those kinds of updates again. Bear with me while I feel the need to get faster and stronger.
Time to go try and catch a ball and then run run run for my life.
Although I still don’t really have a team to root for, after a random survey it seems many in the tumblrverse will be down in the dumps should Wales not prevail over France. And they seem like the underdog so, Go Wales.
Supremely sweaty and stinky.
Which means it was a beautiful night for rugby.
A perfect means to break in the fall breeze.
So, it’s the first nice weather day out today around her and I picked up monkeys this morning when, unexpectedly and with vigor, younger monkey asked if he could do chores (specifically to mow the lawn) and elder monkey desperately wants to play ball outside. I do wonder when the aliens are bringing back the real ones but I’ll go with it.
On the upside, this is the perfect excuse to acquire a rugby ball (if I can find one around here).
and that’s the blatant enthusiasm and love for the game that american female rugbys players have.
every post i read from a female rugby player is either

Happy birthday, gperrella!
Here’s a rugby inspired sketch in return for all the inspiration you give to the world.
This is yesterday’s as I pomptly came home and fell sleep after all that.
Sleep, Neural Wake-Up: Got in a good 8 hours of sleep. Only had time to do the neural wake-up routine x2 then I had to go train a client.
Nutrition: I was exact with my training day diet today, although the timing was a bit heavier on the food near the end of the day than I would have liked. Sometimes my biggest problem is making sure I eat everything in the day!
Afternoon Workout: Chest/Back - Good workout today. Went up on some weights and down on others after seeing where I was last time I did this. Followed up by 15 minutes on the treadmill.
Incline Barbell Bench Press: - I was probably a bit cautious with these but without a spotter you have to be.
Dumbbell Fly Aways: - A press up followed by a slow fly down. I had to go down in weight and these are still stupidly difficult.
Inverted Row (overhand) + Dumbbell Squeeze Press: - Picked up the pace substantially on these.
Bent Over Dumbbell Row (Single Arm Alternating):
Push-ups (failure) + Swiss Ball Crunch + Chin-ups (assisted):
Monday Night Touch Rugby: It was on the verge of turning into a rainstorm rugby game and truthfully I was secretly looking forward to seeing what playing in the mud is like. But at least we had some cool wind because of it to counter the insane humidity. Still having a great time doing this! It makes me want to train for the real thing. (But then I remember that tackling makes it a whole other game.)
