the stain

Even she's laughing at him...

Every year I sit down to watch it with my mate, Jonny. We alternate ale and coffee and try to push through until morning. Every year he falls asleep during the halftime show and then wakes up at the end, pretending to have seen it all. This is our 'approach'. I have seen all the Superbowls since about '98 in this manner. He has seen exactly half.

TBF I've thought that about pretty much every team they've faced, certainly in the post-season. Yet somehow they're in the Superbowl. On that basis, too tight to call

Sh1te Lies, more like... ahaha! ahahahahaaaaaa! See what I did? (Come and watch me and jeff leopard in The Limes, Psychedelic Sunday Lunch Set, O'Neill's in Winchester, 1st Feb, about 1-ish... it's for charity I think, but I don't know which one) Sh1te Lies... oh my...

American commentary or not, it'll be aimed at people who've never watched a game before and need the basics explained after every play. I reckon I'll stick with Sky. The result's too tight to call but I hope the Cardinals get it, just for the novelty.

Anyone else never heard of him? Come one, come all...

And that's a fact. He's only made 4 films and they're all my favourite film ever.

Is he still here?

That's very sad news. One of my favourite songwriters. If I manage to drink half as much in my lifetime as he did in his, I'll have done very well. R.I.P.

Days of Heaven - Fire! Fire! Burning! Hellfire! (pretty frogs) Plague of Locusts! 10/10

beggars/choosers, etc.

a) kiss a girl b) like it

Unfortunately each new footballer, each new person, is a new learning curve. Not many of us learn from other people's mistakes.

Mercury Rev - Chasing A Bee I tried to make all the noises with my mouth. I think I've sprained my tongue.

The similarity, which you're coyly trying to skirt around, is that the dropped £50 and the cargo on the beach quite obviously and provably belong to a specific other party. A £50 note fluttering in the breeze after an air crash clearly isn't the same.

Like a post-op panda.

The letters page on Footy365 makes excellent reading today http://www.football365.com/mailbox/story/0,17033,8744_4832404,00.html I sent them a similar missive last week, but I was clearly ahead of my time...

On a similar theme, I recently saw Into The Wild. Thoroughly self-obsessed rich kid flicks two fingers at everyone who cares about him and disappears into the wilderness to 'find himself'. The scenery is beautiful, but you can't get around the fact the film is all about this one guy, who's a complete d1ck and spends far too long realising he's not the only person in the world who ever, like, felt anything maaaan. Don't watch this film.

Erm... Do you like movies about gladiators?

Have you ever been in a Turkish prison?

Queen of the South?

Dogville - Good film with surprisingly nuanced performances from actors I've never rated, Nicole Kidman and Paul Bettany. The odd look of the film (shot entirely in an open, empty studio) is weirdly affecting, particularly given the theme of secrecy. Von Trier should lighten up though, maybe do a musical... oh.

nwobhm?

Those are two out of the top drawer. I have been listening to Max Richter. Really must check out the Animal Collective album ASAP.
