I got to see the Arsenal vs. Manchester City rebroadcast during lunch today and boy was it unfortunate and unlucky for the Gunners to lose like that. Previously, I thought that it'd be the Citizens who would outplay the Gooners, but the entire match seemed to belong to Arsenal and City just had a lucky break with that penalty. Sorry Herman.
On another footy note, this is somewhat amusing.
p.s.,
I can't believe my li'l brother's in the lead on my Fantasy Football league! Ughughguhg.
Today's my last day @ my client's in Century City. Was a fun stint. Will miss it a lot. Will not miss traffic and 405 FWY, however.
And Hannibal Lecter, the last remaining “fiesta” fish has passed away this morning. He was about a year and a half years old. He is survived by his two step-siblings, Angelina Jolie and Silas the Albino. He will join Mary-Kate and Ashley in fishy heaven (e.g, down the commode). Now I gotta get another fishy so that I have an odd number of fish in the tank. Good bye, Hannibal.
After an uninspiring and rather disjointed first half, my Blues finally showed a bit of life and completed some of the passes after a 2nd half penalty scored by Lamps. I'm not used to seeing my boys play this way; Kalou was all-over the place and seems as if he has not adjusted to the pace of English football. Lamps barely made an impact until the 2nd half; it was just really odd to watch a match like that. Blackburn had more spirit during both halves. Don't get me wrong, a win is a win and Drogba's strike after masterfully pulling away from his pushing defender was superb, but my Blues seem incomplete. I was going to watch the next match on telly (a re-broadcast of the Arsenal vs. Man City's victory) but felt somewhat deflated by the 90 minutes of Blues versus Rovers. We've already lost 3 points mid-week so the win today was just somewhat sweet.
Come on the Chels!
It's probably just coincidence but 2006 so far is a mixed year for me; Q1, brought me my first speeding ticket in the 10+ years I've lived in California. Q2, was a bit better cos of the contests I won but sucked when my media drive died. Q3 wasn't bad at all except for England losing in the World Cup Quarter finals and a recurrence of my heat allergies with itchy rashes cos of the super-super hot weather, and Q4 — well, I got into a hit-and-run; first vehicular accident in some 8+ years since getting my driver's licence.
It sucked, too; I was hit from behind on the 405 around Venice Blvd. Although the traffic was stop and go, I still got a pretty good bump that caused some whiplash. Then the jackass gets out of his car, asks if I'm ok then tells me that we should probably handle this off-the-freeway. I stupidly agreed and stupidly got off; last thing I see is, well, I don't actually see his bloody car exiting; the wanker took off as soon as he saw my car in the off-ramp. Ugh. There's no damage to my vehicle after initial evaluation as called 911 to report it. The (cute) CHP officer arrived and said that there's nothing that can be done cos there's no damage to report and such. Anyway, I hope that Asian jackass driver (who was in a white sedan, btw, his car has California plates and has existing damage on the front passenger side of the hood) gets kicked in the balls whilst being bitten by African bees and fed chum through a funnel. Oh yah, I checked my car again and I think there is damage — rear right of the bumper. UGH!
So I don't even know what I'm rambling about. I suppose it's time to visit my Chiropractor again. Monday'll be my last day driving to my client in Century City (i.e., my schedule's opening up). That's should be the last I see of the wretched 405 (during rush hour anyway).
p.s., Oh yah, my Beloved Blues' 2nd match of the 06/07 premiership season was a defeat. 2-1 to Middlesborough. UGH!!!! Year of the Dog = Dragon Year's undoing.
You have got to be kidding me. First, we're off the top seeds, then we're drawn in the same group as — yes, Barca. UGHGUHGUHGUHG.

Back from Vegas. Loads of incidente on the way home — saw one over-turned car, a number of flat tires, two or three over-heated cars, two fallen freeway signs!, three to four multi-car crashes, and so on. Creepy! Drive carefully, people!
Ralph sent me this video link a few days ago and I thought I'd share it…It kinda reminded me of the 'Money' video I used to host… Hmmm… Lemme see if I can post that again. In the meantime, enjoy!
