Fuck Mondays: Why I Did I Not Take Today Off?

by keith on April 23, 2012 at 10:26 am

I’m still super exhausted from the weekend, I start work at noon today so I’ve had time to sleep in a little, choke back some disgusting instant coffee and do the dishes. I realized that it was totally my week for Fuck Mondays so I sat down a at the computer and skimmed through a few of the articles that I’ve got on the go. Mad Men, Childish Gambino, Comix Zone, all incomplete enough that making them into something whole would be too much of a pain in my ass. I’m just gonna phone this one in. Nobody reads these anyways.

Let me give you a quick rundown of my weekend: ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Montreal Roller Derby Finals

Montreal Roller Derby has just completed their 5^th season. Five years of great roller derby action done, with no signs of slowing down.

The city championships took place this past weekend on August the 6^th, where the Contrabanditas beat the reigning champs Les Filles Du Roi by a score of 99-80. The ‘Ditas dethroned the back-to-back champs and won their first ever city championships in front of a sell out crowd at Arena St-Louis.

The ‘Ditas were scrappy, going undefeated in the season and looking for their first taste of the gold. FDR had done well all year long, starting the season with a very green group of skaters, but showing great progress and really making a game of it. Early predictions were for a win by the Contrabanditas by a large margin, but Les Filles made a great run, and fought all game long.

Congrats to the Contrabanditas for their great year, and special congrats to skater Charlotte Bruise-A-Lot, the only member of the team to have skated with the team for all five years of their existence.

The 2012 season will begin next spring.
