Football!

And the BPL has started again! Since I refused to get yet another set-top box in my house and am reluctant to relinquish my SCV channels, I have no way to watch the matches this year. It’s just as well since with the signings Arsenal has made, I don’t see how this season is going to be any better than the last one. I think I would be happy if it went as well as it did last year!

I think I will monitor Gamecast on Soccernet tonight.



Exciting Stuff Happening in My Life

Actually not much except that FREE COMIC BOOK DAY is in a months time. This time, I’m going to be there before the doors open so that I can get the comics I want (like Love and Capes).

Also, my family and I are off to the UK for the June holidays. It’s been years since I’ve been in the UK in summer so that should be fun. Plus I might even persuade my family that a little trip to Pierrefonds would be lovely. Oh and of course, a visit to the Emirates stadium should probably be squeezed in. Oh yes, this is going to be MY holiday. (I’m just kidding.) :D

Anyway, all this is making me excited so ta-daa! A countdown on the side bar!




Random Musings

So Zod can fly but Clark cannot. The last two episodes left me feeling kind of meh. Even Lois couldn’t excite me. And S9 started out so well too but oh well, one should never expect much from Smallville.  Chloe is still getting on my nerves. Tess is interesting but such an enigma and Oliver, well, he looks good shirtless. Someone said that he was better off reading Blackest Night. Probably. I’m awaiting the trades but I have high hopes. So far, I’m only minorly spoiled.

I’m suddenly feeling somewhat down. Not sure why exactly. Hopefully the Arsenal game coming up will cheer me up. Although, I have to admit, I doubt it will. Perhaps I should go beat up some people in Tekken.

FFVIII should be out in a couple of weeks or so. Quite excited but seeing how I cannot even find the time to finish up Dragon Age, I don’t see how I’m going to finish it. But I will. Definitely.

Work has been more of a drag than usual. I still enjoy quite a bit of it but I’m getting restless plus certain things are making me reconsider my career choice. On one hand, I like teaching in a classroom and being involved in school events. On the other, it takes a lot out of me. Also, this year I have a difficult class and it’s really making my days in school horrible. I’m not even sure why, seeing they aren’t actually the first difficult class I have ever had. It’s just that usually the class and I develop some sort of rapport which makes going in and dealing with their nonsense bearable. This year, the class and I simply do not get along. I guess we lack chemistry or something. I know for one thing that they purposely make life difficult for me and it’s been frustrating.



3D Football

Apparently the upcoming Man Utd – Arsenal match (which I cannot watch because it is on a Sunday) will be telecast in 3D and the viewers at the special previews will have to wear 3D spectacles.

I wonder what that would be like. Would you feel like you are in the middle of the match? Would you feel the urge to jump out of the way of the ball? Or would it just all be rather lame?

I watched Avatar in 3D and was suitably underwhelmed. My friends claim it is because I watched it in Tampines GV which isn’t as new, modern or sophisticated as the others. Who knows? I doubt I will be catching a 3D movie again.

Speaking of Arsenal, I got the iPhone Arsenal app which seems to give me access to the highlights videos without being a Arsenal TV online subscriber. Brilliant. I think I can live with this – no need to subscribe to Mio TV.
