I Wait For You...

Welcome to the world of today. This is kind of a long post so I should get to it.


'My World' News

Thursday (1/2): Arsenal 3 vs Tottenham 1. I can't remember much of what actually happenned during the game (I even had to look up the scoreline). I had lunch with Saturn. Saw 'Stranger Than Fiction' with Blur.

Friday (2/2): Worked - 6 hours. And it is/was Klueless Kamels birthday today - happybirthday man/Kamel.

Saturday (): Worked - 6 hours. Crashed in bed when I got home.

Sunday (): Middlesbrough 1 - Arsenal 1. Their first draw for the year. Worked - 6 hours.

Monday (5/2): It is/was my Birthday today. and I had to work for 6 hours. but I did get gifts from my parents (well my mum really) - 2 DVDs, 'A Guy Thing', and 'Akira'. I got a phone call from my Nana but have yet to hear from my grandparents (and my brother has been pretty ignorant as well).

Tuesday (): Relaxed all day long - it was very nice.

Wednesday (): SOCCER!!! This week I played on the blue team with Jazz (new character - friend of Saturn and Jupiter (played last week)) and Yankee (A guy I knew from high school - he played the week before as well). The game was quite fast paced and quickly went to one all (I'm not sure who scored first) and thats where it stayed for about an hour. But when we had about ten or fifteen minutes left Jupiter missed a header from a corner kick and I was in the perfect position to pick up the pieces - I juggled/dribbled the ball past two or three players to put myself about a metre from goal before slotting it through for my third goal in six games. This goal opened the floodgates and before the game finished we had scored two more goals. Blue 4 - Red 1. Wins 6: Draws 0: Losses 0: Goals 3.

Thursday (): Worked - 5 hours. It was supposed to be my day off but as one of my bosses had the day off and the store manager doesn't like to do my job I was 'asked' to come in, doesn't really make a huge difference, more hours means more money. And since Foxtel have gained the rights to broadcast live AFL games my subscription has increased.

Friday (): Worked - 6 hours.

Saturday (): Worked - 6 hours. After work went to see 'Tenacious D In; The Pick Of Destiny'.

Sunday (): Worked - 6 hours. Slept as much as possible when I got home - and my Nana came over for a visit.

Monday (12/7): Arsenal 2 - Wigan 1, I actually got to watch this game on television. This scoreline doesn't tell you how close Arsenal was to losing, they hadn't scored until the 81st minute (Fitz Hall own goal) and took the lead 3 minutes later thanks to Tomas Rosicky. Worked - 6 hours. Went and saw 'Smokin' Aces' after work. Got comics (3).

Tuesday (): Worked - 5 hours. Again it was my day off. And six days in a row is harsh - I would prefer five days with longer hours - just so I have some more time to recouperate.

Wednesday (): Saw 'Deja Vu'. (Day off, yay!). Bought myself a soccerball, seemed like a good idea. Played soccer. This week Saturn played on my side (Yankee, Jupiter and Jazz were all playing for the opposition). And the game was rather good, especially since I scored the first goal. It was a rather weak effort, I tapped the ball in after Jazz (the keeper at the time) failed to hold onto a real shot. This goal was really against the flow of play as the Red team had most of the ball and was taking a whole lot of shots (with a lot of miraculous saves). Eventually attrition won through and the Red team got a goal, evening up the scores. But this wasn't to last long as we finally got some significant possession and peppered the goals with shots (it also became clear why some players are defenders) we eventually got a nice little tap-in to regain the lead. With twenty minutes to play it looked like we would hold on to win the game - we had possession, and the red team looked like it was on the back foot, until they took the ball in defence and pumped it forward in a quick counter attack, they had three players forward and we had left only one defender and the keeper, noone else made it back in time to prevent the ball going into the back of the net. After this both teams fizzled out and the scores remained. Blue 2 - Red 2. Wins 6: Draws 1: Losses 0: Goals 4.

Thursday (8:20am): Bolton vs Arsenal, currently Arsenal is 1-0 up 5 minutes into the second half.


Reviews:
Stranger Than Fiction:
Film was good, apart from the 2/3 minutes where the sound cut out in the cinema. 3/5.

Tenacious D In: The Pick Of Destiny:
This film was very funny, even if it was a bit random. 3/5.

Smokin' Aces:
Entertaining but I thought it needed a more believable story. 2/5.

Deja Vu:
Better than I expected. Had the best line of any film I have ever seen: 'I need more cowbell' if you know where thats from - you deserve 5/5. 4/5.


Final Thought: I am sorry about the delay in posting (even if nobody complained about it) and I blame it on getting fox sports - usually I write this during a soccer game (as I am now) but with live games televised I think this will become rarer. I just realised this is my 50th post, yay me.
