Team Yellow ftw :)

I thought about not going to hockey practice today because I was really unmotivated yesterday evening and it was raining this morning. But I went anyway, and it was fantastic. The rain (constant, but fortunately only light) didn't matter at all. We played 4on4 in basically two parallel games via simultaneous shift changes, beginners and advanced. My team won 5-4 :) I still didn't score a goal, though I had two good opportunities (not so good that I was too angry about it later), but I think I did some good things and I helped. We were better with positioning today and also talked more on the ice. I love playing ice hockey :) If the weather doesn't become worse, there are two more practices this semester, if not that was the last one. At least it would be a good one to end on.
And then there are options to play roller hockey or field hockey, but I'll figure that out later.

Yesterday I went to see "Jupiter Ascending" with DD. Neither of us would have gone on our own, but we enjoyed it a lot. Longer post probably coming later. And DD agreed to move in with me in spring!!

I met jae on Sunday, it was great. We had lunch, later cake, and I got a chance to show off my city. (To my surprise I learned that they don't have balls in Canada...) If only I could teleport and visit people all the time!

My university has a new campus, and already twice pieces fell of the front of the shiny new library building. This time they had to close the whole library for days because there's something wrong with the lights. Fortunately I don't need to get books right now but I'm not impressed.

I told myself that if I finish the thesis chapter I'm currently working on today I can watch the Pens-Caps game tonight. It seems a bit unlikely, but I'm feeling motivated and I have chocolate, so maybe.

Same to you! I'm very glad we got the opportunity :)

Yesss, talk about Jupiter Ascending! (Also FYI I have a Saga post you made like a month ago, still open in a tab because I want to talk to you about it and I want to give it a comment it deserves, and generally when I want that the post... ends up open in a tab. Sigh.)

Jupiter Ascending!!! Yessssss :D I would love to read your post on that!

And yay you for your excellent hockey practice! That sounds like so much fun. When did you start playing?

[schneefink]

Haha, I know that process well ^^
I haven't read more Saga than what I posted about because it looked to be moving in a less happy direction and I'm not in the mood for that. I'll probably catch up eventually, at the latest when the second volume comes out.

I started playing in November, so I'm still a beginner but I'm learning and I love it a lot :) I hope I can do a class next year as well, but I'm planning to work by then so I'm not sure if I'll have the time.

I'm finding it strangely difficult to write about Jupiter Ascending. I've read so many opinions about it before even watching it that it's hard to write only about my own impressions without constantly referencing or at least reacting to other reviews I've seen, especially because there are so many strongly varying opinions about it.

[scintilla10]

That's so cool! :) Hopefully you'll still be able to fit it in when you work as well.

Ah, yes, I know how that goes. Well, whether you write about it or not: SQUEEEEE ;D

[schneefink]

I did, at least part one :)
