Tonight in this thrilling episode of my life....... Exams and uni finishes for another year...... I get sunburned whilst walking through Cardiff (how does that happen?!!?)....... Have sorted out a year of house sharing with Jen, Chris and Greg....... Springer's back..... Green Day bring out the most tear-jerking anti-war music video of all time.... Am gearing up for holibob next week...... XXL is still my average size.... Plus the Argos Football Rematch is on for this Sunday.
First, the Rangers took a pounding to a much more youthful side despite being in a 3-1 lead midway during the game. We had no Billy or Nathan, so a struggle was a hand. Pat had a promising game in goal, however as always fitness was the enemy at hand. We conceded a solid 5 goals as our men grew fatigued. Unlucky lads - on another day that game would have gone the other way Im sure.
In between revision, I have been watching a bit of Euro 2005. Before you say that '5' is a typo, I shall whack your bigot face with a wet fish in disgust, as this year sees the turn of Women's football to host their own European Championship. With 8 teams, its obvious women's football still lags far behind the men's game. The newspapers also do enough to show the gulf between the sexes in football, as Euro 2005 is barely recognised. Poorly endorsed despite the tournament being held in England, and not surprisingly the games are played in minor grounds. Deepdale, the home of Championship Playoff finalists Preston North End, is but only one of the tournament's stadia. Saying all that, the opening England game was a thriller. England enjoyed a 2-0 lead which was wiped away due to poor defending as the Finns equalized. Then, out of nothing, England scored a cracker in injury time to take the game. No matter what anyone says - the quality in the women's game is not a diluted version of the men's game.
Exams are over and my future is all up in the air.. blah blah, you've heard that tripe over and over!
Why so hot all of a sudden? My hayfever is going haywire just like Spidey's spider sense on the Fritz. I have had a runny nose all week! Not to mention the sunburn on my neck from last Wednesday! ITS STILL THERE!!! GRRRR! I guess its better now than in Paphos anyway! Jen of course has exploited the situation to the max - by threatening to touch it if I don't stay in line, plus with every hug I have had a sore neck!
As Jen's blog may tell you, the house hunting has finally come to an end!!! Im so glad, all those houses were giving me a headache! We arrived at DJ Skinner's letting agency to sign up for the heavenly Daniel St, however we learned it was snapped up, which at first caused a minor uproar amongst Chris and Jen. As prior to the meeting, we had major hesitation with the properties we had seen. Jen loved Daniel St, but Chris wasn't convinced due to the lack of UPVC (don't ask). Chris had come around to the idea of Daniel St after our group moment of indecision, but it was too late. After 2 further viewings, 60 minutes of making up and countless cigarettes smoked by agent Skinner (no not the X Files), Chris was off the hook with the stunning Minny St property we had viewed. We signed up to this little beauty in haste and now all is well - no more Cathays walking! No more intruding in people's rooms! And no more odd odours to inhale and decipher!
My morning TV lineup is great once more as the king of trailer trash talk shows has returned to our screens. Yes, its Jerry! Springer is back and now he has British guests and a British audience, so trans-american language barriers are strained as the Yankie talk show host gets to grips with Geordie, Glaswegian, Welsh and Cockney chav-esque guests. Now isnt that what you want in a TV show? God bless ITV for spending millions in getting Springer over here, morning TV is back with a vengance!
Seen the new Green Day vid? Its a real eye-opener. The video is for 'Wake Me up when September Ends' and takes a anti-war theme which is present on the 'American Idiot' album. Green Day have been pretty vocal on their objection to the Iraq war and this video is another example of their stance. Its an epic - 7 minutes long - and it brought a tear to my eye despite being incredibly corny. Check it out peeps.
My bed calls my name so until next time... ta ta.
