it rained today for the

it rained today for the first time since i moved to vegas. not much of a rain, but enough to put spots on my freshly washed car. in other news, i still don't have a job. :)

i hope to go see penn and teller this week. it's $55, but it should be worth it since i can go early and see penn play upright bass. i guess they have a jazz pianist playing before the show, and penn is playing bass in the shadows. how do i know this? penn told the internet on their webpage. i really like p and t. i guess i really like magic, but i don't like being told that it is some supernatural power that these people have. i'm more amazed that they can fool me into thinking that i saw something happen that didn't than if they had some special power. p and t have always avoided the stupid shit that most magicians do, and as a result, they are great. plus i've been on stage with them, so i guess we have a special bond(albeit a one way bond). oh, yesterday my team(pink) played ultimate against the white team, and we won. 13 to 8. i just about died from lack of conditioning, and a hangover, and i saw 3 people get injured. not bad for a noncontact sport. 2 of the injuries were aggravations of prior injuries, and didn't involve any collisions, the other one was a pretty hard collision that occurred after the disc was caught. come to think of it, i broke my nose twice playing ultimate, and i've seen 2 people break their wrists, and many knee and ankle injuries. maybe i should reconsider playing...nah, i'll just risk it. hopefully i will get more in shape, and won't make such a wheezing spectacle of myself in a few weeks.
