The Camera is NOT My Friend!

If there was ever any question about whether or not I am truly an Amazon, this video should answer it.



Yep, I'm huge, and I can't say it's all camera angles. I also apologize for the rambling, but I'm much better at playing the strong, silent type.

HUGE Blow to the Ego

The people that have been telling me for the past five years how perfect I would be for a certain reality show were wrong. Turns out that a six foot tall librarian with a penchant for participating in full-contact sports is not dysfunctional enough to race around the world. But thanks for making me feel special for a while! Oh, and if you feel like boycotting CBS because they choose to exploit traumatic family situations, go right ahead.

More Good News about Last Week

One thing I forgot to mention in the post about my bad week was that Fox 26 was filming at practice and my team decided that I should be the Brawler interviewee. Sorry, but I also failed to mention that it aired on Fox Sports Xtra last night. No complaints on my interview clip (I'm just a big, dorky librarian anyway), but the sports guy included the clip of me taking out my teammate. I feel so much better now that the moment is immortalized, and sarcasm is just one of the services we offer.

MySpace post on same topic:
Did you see me on the news last night?
Fox 26 immortalized me taking out my own teammate for the rest of the season.

(Insert sarcasm here...) That makes me feel so much better about it.

Librarians are such dorks!

On the Radio

Today will be my first time to be on the radio for something other than winning tickets. I can't believe I'm nervous. I've been on television many times...first in a department store commercial way back in the late 70's, on roller skates no less...when I graduated from high school, I was invited to say my name and school on KPRC due to my top ranking in my class...one time, I filmed a stupid question for Matt Bullard at a Rockets game, and I do mean STUPID...AND, last but not least, when I played women's professional football, I made numerous appearances on camera. Those situations were for the most part scripted, and that's why I'm nervous. Too many opportunities on the Outlaw Dave Show on KIOL 103.7 for naughty things to come out of my mouth. Listen if you can.

In related news, HRD was on the news last night. KHOU told us it would be Friday night, so nobody taped it. I hear that one of my takedowns may be featured. If so, put that on the list above.

My TV Cost More Than My Computer!

My husband and I broke down and bought a fancy new tv last night.

Don't get me wrong! I'm very manly in my love of new toys, probably even more so than my husband, and I most likely pressured the tightwad to go this route because he knows how much I love new toys, but I'm just in shock that we spent more on this tv than we did when we bought a new computer two years ago. I'll keep telling myself that this thing is beautiful and well worth it. Even my daughter, who wanted the old tv to come home from the doctor, got excited when we took it out of the box. Of course, the excitement was spurred by the opportunity to play in an empty box, but wait till she sees how good The Wiggles look now!

Another Video Clip

Houston Roller Derby was on the news Monday night. Once again, don't look for Catazon. The video was taken at Sunday's practice while I was working the rodeo.

Read about more people I know in the Baytown Sun. Also, watch Fox 26 in the morning to see Houston Roller Derby in action. See if you can spot Catazon.
