Just got home from Roller Derby and can positively say that it might be the only sport that has ever interested me - I even know the (very simple) rules by now! Hell, for a second I even felt like a native Oklahoman (is that what they're called) as the local team fought against the (much better) L.A. girls. Ok, this might not make a whole lot of sense to you, but basically I went to see a bunch of girls rollerskate tonight and it rocked my whole world. Oklahoma City is hereby cool. "A sport of contrasts" what was Loren called it and he's right. Roller Derby is definitely a sport of contrasts. Honestly it's just as much about the personality of the skaters as it is about the sport. I mean, the rules are so simple that there needs to be something else to it.
As you probably guessed I went there with Penelope and Loren, who took me to see the bombing site afterward. I'm so glad I got to go there at night, because it was so beautiful with all the lights on. It was definitely a lot more impressive than the rather bland memorial to Kennedy in Dallas. That is for sure.
Now I'm back after having finally been to an Irish bar with my two comrades to stuff our faces with French fries. So good! But I should probably go to sleep now. I have to get up early in the morning: Little Rock awaits!

Nu tager du med mig til NY til december, hvor vi efter et Letterman-show og lidt juleindkøb i Bloomingdales og Tiffanys ser Giants og Eli Manning. Så får football det gennembrud det har fortjent.
ReplyDeleteMen ellers er denne blog den mest læste for mit vedkommende de næste par måneder. Og hver gang jeg kigger på klokken lægger jeg lige et par timer til eller fra for at regne ud, hvad du laver nu.
'That's life guys. Get used to it', som Shirley Manson sagde til en koncert i vistnok København for et par år siden.
