I love it so much I put it on some t-shirts, a button, and a sticker in a cafepress store. There is now a button on this website that says “Buy Catazon Stuff.” Click on it!

Jenny at Mama Drama, a big fan of Houston Roller Derby since we set her straight on whether or not roller derby was family-friendly, has featured Catazon in today’s post as a plea to the producers of the Amazing Race to pick the roller derby twosome. Be nice and read the whole thing instead of scrolling down to the paragraph about me! Then come back and see what I have to say about the assumptions she has made about three of my possible future endeavors.

Although it is highly possible that I could be a Presidential candidate since I would run as a Libertarian and have considered becoming active in the local party, it would not be pretty once they start dragging the skeletons out of the closet. I’ll skip that one to avoid embarrassing my family although it is nearly impossible to embarrass myself (as Jenny said, I did crawl on a pool table in lingerie).

Something as small and sprite as a leprechaun would surely give an Amazon a run for the money. If I was able to outsmart him and he started treating me like Darby O’Gill, I’d kick him to the curb in a heartbeat.

Unfortunately, my legacy will be “The One that Broke Stuff”, not “The One that Fixed Stuff.” I accept the fact that I’m a bull in a china shop. It no longer frustrates me. So I can guarantee I won’t be finding cures for anything, and I know not to even try.

Thank you, Jenny. Watch out, Hollywood!

Derby started back up a couple of weeks ago, and I have skated every practice. It’s a good thing I broke my left ankle, because I can’t skate clockwise. All that hardware must be a little too rigid for me to catch that edge. No problems going the right way, though…just need to build that endurance back up.

Plans are to avoid contact as long as the hardware is still in, but Sunday night, I picked on one of our referees and almost knocked him off the rink with a solid shoulder check. I couldn’t help it…he was coming out of the corner without crossing over and getting in my way…my body aches to hit something. I don’t know how much longer I’ll be able to contain it. June is so far away.

A couple of months ago, I publicly stated that I was afraid to admit a major crush on a Doodlebop by the name of Moe. I got a better look at him when I used the excuse that The Kitten needed to go to her first concert. I don’t care if he’s short…I can’t help it…this Doodlebop is totally doable!

Do I have to go back to work? What a glorious 4-and-a-half day weekend! We celebrated an actual holiday on Monday, then someone had the bright idea to cancel classes on Tuesday before waiting to see if the weather was going to cooperate. Does weather in Texas ever cooperate? I’m not going to complain about another day away from the most boring library in the world, though. Now, it’s back to “work” at noon on Wednesday. [This post originally mentioned my Amazing Race application and linked to the video, but I am erasing all traces of that from my life. Sorry.]

was released this morning. I’m working George Strait, Natalie Cole & KEM, Josh Turner, Alan Jackson, Pesado & Emilio, Rascal Flatts, Brooks & Dunn, and ZZ Top. Just for the hell of it, I’ll probably stop by a couple more performances, such as Dierks Bentley or Sheryl Crow. If you see my husband, just laugh…because he has to work Beyonce.

Do I like how this looks on my blog?

Do you?

As I was working on my Amazing Race application this morning, I came across the question, “Have you ever appeared in a publicly released film or video of any sort?”. Well, let’s see…when I was playing football for the Austin Rage, we had a documentary filmmaker follow us around for a while. He even interviewed me at MPOW one day, and I babbled on and on about breaking stereotypes and other optimistic crap. So I can see why I would end up on the cutting room floor, but since I haven’t seen the finished product, I’m not sure if I have appeared in a publicly released film or video.

That made me curious to find out if anyone had seen the finished product, and I found the “Playing with RAGE” trailer on YouTube. Boy, did that bring back some memories! I didn’t spot myself in any of the clips, but it still looks awesome. It won an award at a Memphis film festival in October of 2006. Maybe we will see it in Houston soon.
