And here it is - 3-2 Holland! The Dutch go on!

I'd love to see a Netherlands-Germany match for the final, meself.

I don't even care how the rest of the game turns out, van Bronkhorst's goal was absolutely amazing. Fireball from outside the box to the upper right 90 - beautiful.

Tonight, I managed to convince 2 British girls, 3 New Zealanders, and a Scotsman that I was a native Irisher, from Dublin. The fact that I was drunk negated the fact that they were drunk.

Now, all I have to do is convince a native Irisher of my Irishness, and my training is complete.

Terrible fucking day. Hit on pretty much all fronts by all sorts of bullshit, mental and physical. Everything I do seems to backfire, and everything I don't do makes me feel like a lazy, useless asshole. Not to mention that everyone else seems to have everything together, without even trying, and my trying just leads me right back to the beginning ( Read more... )

I rather enjoy the fact that I never update this fooker unless I'm going through some personal stress.

This one is no exception - my girlfriend and I are no longer. It kinda sucks, and it's kinda a release, too - which is why I'm not all sobby about it.

Sorry, nothing else to say.

Why is it that I'm only enormously attractive to the opposite sex when my girlfriend's in another country? 3 girls in as many shows would probably have jumped me if I didn't tell them I wasn't single. And they were all very, very attractive ladies - hence the title ( Read more... )

Bought meself a new trombone - quite a far cry from the student models I've been playing with, and less than a third of the price of a new one, and it's in almost perfect condition. I've had it for 4 days, and I'm already in love with it. I don't feel like I'm forcing sound out of it to play; more like it takes anything I give it and makes it ( Read more... )

So I think I've found out why I'm sick all the time - reccurant tonsilitis. Sucks, but not truly health-damaging. Can't get any surgery done until I've got a break in my gigs, so I've got to wait another two weeks, at least.

Of course, this is all amateur diagnosis brought on by watching too much House, but I'm willing to make a bet that it's ( Read more... )

For the first 20 minutes, I was dazzled. It was a great movie, with great effects, funny characters, and an original plot ( Read more... )

You know you're getting old when the "hot new thing" in movie actresses is someone that you've never heard of before in your life.

Or you just don't give a shit.

I think I'm a combination of the two, actually.

Happy New Year, y'all.
