You know you're reading a good book when, when you start finishing up and thinking about going to bed, instead of putting it off and mucking around on the computer, you remember the book and get excited.

So excuse me while I go and snuggle down in bed to read my book . . .

We won, hurrah! First game back for the start of the year, and we just had a full team. It was a 2-1 match, too. I'm disappointed about that goal they did get, because I can see what I did wrong there, but it put me on my guard for the rest of the game.

We scored first. One goal, about 4 minutes before the end of the first half. Then they pretty much ran straight to the goals, and hit it in. I was there, sort of waiting to meet the dude who came running up with the ball, but for some reason, instead of standing my ground or going out to meet him, I walked back. I think in my mind it was "Get closer to the goals so he can't go around," but that's just plain stupid. I was making it easier for him to score my descreasing the amount of space I took up. And I was terribly off-centre, too, leaving a huge gap to one side. So, after berating myself about that, I was much more alert.

So we went into second half with 1-1, and after a little while, they came up my end. I stopped a goal, but it flicked up when it hit my boot, and went right over someone's head. It was about half a metre above his head, but that's still no excuse. There was a short corner for that. I didn't do it on purpose, so I didn't feel guilty about it , but I also didn't think the call was unfair because the ball ain't supposed to go that high for safety reasons, so I readied myself for protecting against the short.

There was about four or five minutes, then, when we had everyone in our goal quarter. I saved two or three goals, and we finally got the ball out - hurrah! It came back again pretty quickly, and I stopped it again (:3), and then after that it was pretty much all in the other quarters, or it went straight out the back, at least a few metres from my goals. We got a goal at some point, and there was much cheering.

Awesome game to come back with. One of our players is out for the rest of the season with an injury, but I hope that the rest of the team show up for the next few games (or even the rest of them). It's always so much better with a full team. Or even - imagine this! - subs! Lol.

After seeing Prince Caspian finally last week, I'm able to say I wasn't entirely impressed with it. I don't mind the switching between stories being out of order, because they were two separate strands, so it doesn't matter that Caspian's starting off tale was really told in the story by word of mouth, from Trumpkin to the Pevensies when he met them on the island. But, not only was everything between Trumpkin and the Pevensies following Aslan down the river path and the fight between the Pevensies, Trumpkin, Caspian, Nikabrik, the hag and the werewolf COMPLETELY made up, but none of it seemed to have the message of the Narnian stories in it. I was watching it in disgust wondering when they were going to bring Aslan back into it.

When they got back into the proper story I was much more at ease, but still a bit iffy about the CaspianxSusan stuff. Sort of *wince* and sort of "lolol" at the same time, ya know?

Anyway, I'll end by saying I loved Reepicheep, Susan's attitude was definitely foreshadowing future events, and even though I don't like their changes to the story, it still made for a good movie (which would be why they made them that way). I want to see the next one, even though I'm aware of the damage they might also do to it. I hope they're making Vovage of the Dawn Treader - it became my favourite when I finally gave it a chance and read it :3 Knowing that, I probably won't be satisfied with its movie, though.

I'm currently reading "The Great Divorce", yet another one of Lewis' fabulous books. It's a giant allegory for heaven and hell, and I'm not even half-way into it yet, but still amazed by the theology he's packed in there. The conversations between the Ghosts and the Bright People alone would be enough to write a handful of sermons on! There was one particular line that struck me, having briefly heard an argument about Christianity recently. It was one of those comments where the person went on about the Crusades and what that said about Christianity. The line in Lewis' book, though (in context), is this, after having spoken about beliefs, or lack thereof:

"You'll be justifying the Inquisition in a moment!"

"Why? Because the Middle Ages erred in one direction, does it follow that there is no error in the opposite direction?"
