4 weeks and counting

it's been a decent weekend overall. i mean, aside from tweaking my knee at our indoor soccer game friday and therefore missing my tri this morning (no worries, this one was kind of a "practice tri"), things went pretty well. i scored twice in the indoor game, which shocked the hell out of me. i over-indulged in sleep, getting a whopping 21 hours over two days. i even made it to the farmer's market saturday, only to be disappointed that all the fruit had sold out. but that's what happens when you don't show up til 1.

it's been a bit since my last arsenal rant, so here's an update on my boys in red:
arsenal won their first friendly of the pre-season, tho it was only 2-nil and the opposing side Barnet were pretty hopeless (they even had a 40-something guy pay 10,000 pounds to be named as a substitute, sit the bench, then be put in with a minute or two remaining). vp is back from injury, but the brazilian wunderkid denilson had to be stretchered off during the match, tho they're now saying the injury isn't serious. thank god, cuz we're going to need him this year. sir alex has said arsenal will be better off without henry, and i must say i agree - the boys tended to rely on him too much this last season and it became pretty apparent that thierry was starting to give under the weight of his team. 4 weeks to the opening game v. fulham! anyone who wants to come watch it at my place had better bring java porter - it's the only way we'll stay awake after the 5am kickoff...
