Review

We won a soccer game!

Going 1 win and 6 loses this season (totally opposite for the 5 wins and 2 loses in the spring session), we entered our first playoff game against a team that we lost 7-2 last time.

We scored the first 2 goals of the game, and that was the score at the half, 2-0.

We quickly gave up a goal in the 2nd half and suddenly they were all over us. Non-stop pressure. One of their guys made a slide tackle at their end so we got an in-direct kick by their net. Unfortunately I shank the shot and they break out on a potential 1 on 1 with our girl defender. I managed to get back, grab the ball and booted it toward their net to clear the ball from our zone.

And it went in.

I didn't see it since I was half turning to get back to my position, but apparently the ball bounced before the goalie could catch it, and it skipped into the net.

3-1, Not the prettiest goal, but it's the first of the season for me, so I'll take it.

We then proceeded to give up 2 goals in 5 minutes for them to tie it up. 3-3

Then they gave it back to us. Their defender kicked it back to their goalie and their goalie picked it up!

So we get an indirect kick right in the penalty box, we convert and hold on for the 4-3 win.

Next playoff game, we have a chance to be the best of the worse. :D

So A&B Sound had an ad last week for the New CD for The New Pornographers for $12.99, a lot cheaper then they have it at Amazon.ca for $18.99.

So I go there Friday, (received the ad Wednesday) and they're sold out! I'm beggining to think it's their evil plan to lure me in and buy other stuff while I'm there. Grrrr

Hospital Lifestyle Lottery.

Lifestyles

1 ticket for $100 or 3 for $250.

If you want to split, I'm interested, let me know.

Went furniture shopping today... it was quite disappointing. Didn't find any coffee or dining tables that I liked. To top that off, the Leather Sofa Bed I was going to get wasn't very comfortable.

So I think I will just buy a nice Leather Couch and figure something else out for guests to sleep on. Or not buy a leather sofa bed and get a regular sofa bed.

I also saw Cypher today, that was a pretty good movie. I would recommend a rental at the least.

Radiohead Flash thingy, it's neat. Click Me

Took an IQ test (Culture Fair IQ test)

I'm significantly above average at this moment, as soon as my Red Bull dies down, I'm sure I'm back down to average.

good article over at Pitchfork Media

Trying to find this DVD locally so I can watch it this weekend.

OldBoy

Here's a clip

Alright, updated my rug to a no pattern beige wool rug instead of the patterned one I had. Didn't know rugs got that expensive, I'll probably need 2 of them, 1 for the living room and 1 for the bedroom.

Saw the shins at HMV on sale as one of those 2 for $25. I want to try one of their albums but not both.

Wow, the musical chairs doesn't end.

TSN

$58.94

That's how much it costs to fill my empty gas tank....

It costs $0.11 to travel 1km. Average round trip is about 40kms... so about $4.50 a trip. Sick.......

yay, 2 shows I've been waiting for to come out on DVD
House M.D.
Scrubs

I just wish they would release Scrubs faster as they're on season 5 or so on TV.

Will finally get some tennis in. First time in about a month. I miss the good old days of 2 summers ago, playing tennis at least 5 times a week (but then twisting my rib cage out of place as a result of poor form).

I think I will try to go for some lessons next year.

Yes, the site is ugly. This will be for the interim until a new and improved layout gets put on.

Alright, picture update,

Sorry for the lack of updates, finally back from Toronto. I have lots of pics to post.

Going to Toronto later in the week. Grandfather passed away, the whole family is going to Toronto for the funeral.

Went golfing with the team yesterday as Elbow Springs. We're not very good golfers, but it was fun. We played a scramble, where we use the best shot and we all hit from that spot.

Of course we lost a lot of balls into the water and the trees but I enjoyed it.

So I will go with a white shag rug, dark coffee table, dark sofabed for the living room.

Probably this couch, Ikea . I still need physically see it to see how it is.

Still looking around for the coffee table and the white shag rug.
