Simon on the Blogwagon

Monday, July 03, 2006

Its been a week since i last posted but thats just cause if i'd posted earlier when i was still getting over the world cup farce half the posts would have been expletives and anti-Italian rants and i wouldn't want that, i like the Italians, i like their food, i like their women, who cares if they cheat and play the most boring football i've been unfortunite enough to watch. But enough of that, i've moved on and i hope we all can. On the upside there is a lot more leg-room on the bandwagon now.

Most Overated Movie of the Year:
X-men 3. Sorry Dan but it was nowhere near as good as the first 2. I ended up falling asleep and missed the end, though i did see the part after the credits and to save people having to wait to the end of the long, long credits. SPOILER ALERT Prof. Xavier isn't dead, after watching Patrick Stewart in Extras its hard to take him too seriously these days.

Best Movie Trailer I've seen in Ages:
Brick, check it out

The week in sport:
Football: Go Portugal! picked them at the start to win the cup when they were playing $26 and should have put a tenner on them but are now down to $6.50 and betting on them now would be more annoying then anything, though thats still good odds considering.
Watching England fail again is fun though, the English have got to realise that they really aren't that good and that even if they considered themselves as equally as good as the Brazilians, French, Spanish, Dutch, Argentinians, Italians, Germans, Portuguese then they only have a one in eight chance of winning anyway and making the final eight is about right, plus Rooney is a psycho chav so its funny to see him fail. I'm a little sadistic.
Tennis: Hewitt can't win cause Federer is too good even if he makes it to the final, how annoying must it be for him having lost in 8 of the last 9 majors he has played in to the eventual champion.
League: Benji who? We don't need him, he's been hogging all the limelight winning all the games for us, setting up all the tries. Actually i think we will be alright, the loss to the Dogs is more to do with Hodgeson being out i feel, Now paying $26 at the TAB, not quite the $150 we were paying last year but good value.
NBA: The draft was on the other day and it has to have been the least interesting draft in years, unlike the Lebron year with him, Anthony and Wade all being good, i don't know if it will happen this year or there will be a good chance the best player was drafted well down and be like when MJ went at 3, but not as bad.
F1: Webber has to be the unluckiest driver ever, whenever theres a crash he is taken out and if he's not his engine blows up.

Great music for the week:
Death from Above 1979, a 2 piece band consisting of a drummer and bass guitarist, though they play the opposite of drum and bass. Very fast, rock punk ish. Check them out.

Hero of the week:
I couldn't think of a hero so using google i found the first person listed under hero of the week and it goes to Nathan E
who "is dedicated to his work and fmaily (sic). He is a proud father of two from a previous marriege (sic) and is very dedicated to his military work. He has given up many many months to serve for his country while haveing (sic) to make the biggest sacrifice by leaving his children behind.... We love him and want everyone to know how much of a hero he truely (sic) is in our eyes!!" not just your eyes Miss E, but now the eyes of my avid (sic) readers.

Loser of the week:
First lets take a look back at last weeks entry
"Loser of the Week:
More then a week but every ref that we had in the group stage and if i know those Italians as well as i think I'm sure they're rigging the next game as we speak."
I don't want to say I'm psychic but who'd i'd be kidding.
Ok, so i couldn't go past this part without mentioning the ref for the Australia v Italy game, Mr Luis Medina Cantalejo. I have come to a point where i don't care about the Italian guy who cheated because thats the way the games played and he was doing what was best for his country, it should have been the ref who saw it and either called play on or called him for 'simulation'. I always wonder who came up with that term for diving.


I think I'm going to change from trying to write a big entry once a week to multiple small entries more regularly.

  • I'll stand up for X-men 3 Dan, I thought it was better than the first two, but I was a bit confused by the carnal knowledge between Iceman and Kitty- Anna Paquin was getting jealous of a 13 year old girl?!?!? And simmo you were already knackered before you watched that movie, don't take it out on the xmen.
