So here we are Derby luvvers! It's Two Thousand and Ten, a new decade of roller derby commences this year, and a new year means that right now, teams across Canada and the US that play mainly in spring - fall time lines (hockey towns everywhere) are finalizing season dates and season event schedules, trying to confirm who in the rookie pool might be ready to join a team, and trying to prevent injuries while they step up the practices a notch from last year. 

I am currently not skating. It's not because of any reason other than a reset of my roller derby schedule and career, and a real life vs derby life fight. Once it's back to normal, I'll be back again. I'm not giving up on roller derby any time soon. I may not be a Beyonslay, a Atomatrix, or a Val Capone, or Estro Jen, or Rollergirl, but I'm Nia Capps, and I am like a bad penny and just keep turning up. 

But hey, I'm still staying in the derby vibe. I read DNN, like all of you do, joined the facebook Roller Derby Workout Challenge, and support anything roller derby-related. I still look at my skates everyday and am exercising and am cleaning up my basement so I can skate in it. (concrete floor full unfinished basement)

If you didn't see it in the last round up on DNN, I like this newest addition to the rock video featuring roller derby. This is Halestorm and the video features the Jersey Shore Rollergirls, and a guitar solo that screams. It's Not You. 

I'm off work sick today with a stomach virus, but I am dragging myself out to go look at an apartment for my mother-in-law, and on the weekend I am shopping, relaxing, getting better and hanging out. I am finishing my Green Peas for Bruised Knees knitted ice pack project! I'll share when it's done!
