Yah, so, like I promised, I've got some pictures of the old eye. Everything is back to normal now, but this is what I looked like about a week and a half ago:
So yah, as you can tell from the stitches, I was pretty lucky to get hit where I did. I've been wearing eye-guards ever since, and it seems to be working out alright. Nikki tells me to stop taking them off and they won't fog up, but I think that's just because when I play her, I'm the one doing all the sweating and running.
I'm feeling pretty positive about squash right now - Like I mentioned before (I think I mentioned it), I've been jogging on my lunch breaks, and I'm slowly pulling things back into shape. I'm not really winning games yet, but I have specific things that I can work on, and that helps motivate me a lot more than hating every single aspect of my game.
The Vancouver Island Open is this weekend, and a bunch of friends from out of town are coming out to play in it (Bevan, Blake, etc.), so I'm excited about that too. I don't expect to place too highly in the tournament - this time around, my goal is to play well and not focus on the score. I just want good matches.
I'll give an update afterwards and post what I've got to work on.
I haven't made any dance related entries lately because I've been injured, and because once I was ready to get back on my foot, I wanted to focus most of my efforts on bringing my squash game back up to speed. I've been working on the same old stuff, and while it's come along slowly, there's still a lot of things for me polish up. My friend Simon has been taking lessons with some really major dancers (eg, founders of some of the styles that I do), so I've understandably been very jealous of that opportunity. He's coming over here for a few nights before he leaves Canada to head back to his homeland in Australia.. Hopefully we get a chance to bust out together before he's out of here and exchange knowledge with each other. Will post more about that too.
Enjoy those photos!
