Testing 1, 2 … 3

While I'm still flirting with WordPress, I upgraded to version 3 of Movable Type tonight. Things will (hopefully) look the same for you (except for the version number, which is now 3.01D), but the interface in which I manage this weblog looks quite different now. Nothing too shocking there either, though.


Yesterday, as many days, was a day of basketball. Even though it was raining hard, Enrique and I played at Centraal untill late. Very late. I got home about 3 A.M. and got into an fight with my mom again right away. Things were settled the same night, so don't worry about that.

Today, the weather was great, yet I didn't enjoy basketball as much as yesterday in the pooring rain. Unlike last week, there were a bunch of old-school players again (oldschool in the sense it was new-school when they started playing it). It's not that I don't like fundamental basketball, but the zone-defense, the slow dribbling, the arguments about whether something is a foul or not … ugh.

I wasn't the only one that was getting annoyed. In fact, most of my friends there wanted to leave, and so we did. We went to some nice court somewhere in Leidsendam, where we got our free-style on. Fancy passes, ankle-breakers, and dazzling dunks. I didn't manage to get in my groove, so I didn't enjoy myself too much, but it sure was an improvement on where we had been playing earlier that day.


My friends are going to meet up there again tomorrow (er, today), but I don't really feel like joining them. It's quite a ride, and don't think the court is that special. Instead, I'll use this day to take care of some things that really need to be taken care of (post server payment check, report stolen/lost map with passes, pick up new bank pass and pay back a loan), and train some basketball fundamentals like my jumpshot and my vertical leap.
