Not only for kids!

,
Who said that marbles are for kids? Perhaps no one said that or someone did but do you want to know something? FACT: THEY'RE NOT.

I can hardly remember when I was a kid and I spend the school break playing this game. They only thing I know it's that I still have at my home a pot really full of marbles. They are so diferent colours, sizes and shapes... wait not shapes, they are all quite rounds.
Rodrigo came last week to me and said
"you know what's going on in Prague this saturday?" I was hoping some naked-twister or maybe any free beer festival were we could play naked-twister but the answer was "there a tournament of marbles" and who would say no to an oportunity to remember your childhood? So he bought some marbles, the crappy ones actually. I'm sure you know which ones I'm talking about, those ones that we're crystal and with some color inside.

So ready to play and after some trainning in the corridor, Rodrigo and me went this morning to the island and had there a great time there!! The tournament was really well done organized, first of all a league and then after that the eliminatories. We didn't do a great job there, I mean, we lost more games than victories but what really matters is that we had fun. This is what losers says after a championship, isn't it? hehe.

For next tournament, more and better ;)

Sunday 01.03.09 - Hostivar, Praha 10

11.30 I've woken up. I'm still sleepy. Some milk and a couple of cookies are my not enough breakfast but I don't feel like having something more neat.

12.00 Finally I have a laptop, it's not mine but at least satisfies my bloodlust. I've been downloading all the tv shows I had to. A week without my only adiction hasn't been easy. I even was thinking about going out from home. I didn't.

13.00 I'm hungry again. That poor breakfast wasn't enought. But it's sunday and I don't feel like cooking that can take more that 3 minutes to cook. Thank godness I have nuddles. I not a great meal but is enough.

14.30 Of couse I'm hungry again. I've just remembered that I have some rice from the left overs from yesterday night. I add a fried egg and some pepper make it more tastier. Now ain't hungry anymore.

15.00 The corridor is so lonely... You can't see anyone there. Are they here?

15.15 I've heard a noise. I went next to the door to listen better. But I can hear anything else. Was it my imagination?

16.30 Oh my God! Oh my fucking God! I've just seen the last episode of Lost. Oh my God! For sure one of the best episodes of the whole serie. I can't wait anymore for the next one. Doh! I've just remembered it's sunday. I have to wait a bit more.

17.00 It's getting dark. No one in sight on the corridor.

17.30 Joana is alive. She has just talked to me by messenger. We're going to watch a movie in a while. It's a great idea. I need some social life. I was starting to understand Jack Nicholson in The Shining.
