Items of small note

Yesterday I played soccer. Went up for a header on a high ball in our own 18 yard box and some forward from the other team nailed me while I was in mid-air creating a dramatic 360 degree airborn wipeout which earned me a free kick and a "way to play tough" from my team-mates. Would have been "tough"er if I hadn't run out of steam in the second half and mostly trotted futilely around the mid-field.

Tomorrow eve (at the Auburn - froofy-actor-bar-a-go-go) a short play I wrote will be read as part of a bunch of readings from a playwriting workshop I'm in. Professional actors - curious to see if they make more of it than I imagine my regular community types could. I'm a little dubious - how deep can you get in five minutes? - but I do like Trevor Ruger and Shari Watling (name drop!) so I am excited to see them in action on the various pieces.

Humans are so weird

Don't waste too much time reading the actual post listed below, just get the gist of what they did and then check out the epic flamewar it started in the comment section.

Just when I think the aliens I work with are too weird to be believed, some humans step up to remind me that we're pretty screwed up too.
