Crying Habits
I'm crying a little bit every now and then these days. Mostly because I'm suffering from a bit of burn-out, which if I'm unlucky could turn out to actually be something else and really serious (I'm not going into any details on any message board). Sometimes in stressful situations I tend to have some sort of panic attacks and that ain't no funny business. On a more positive note, I've also recently started using contact lenses and at least I have now found out that you can cry and they won't fall out.

Movies You Have Seen Lately
Anyone in their right mind should check out the Mexican movie Amores Perros. It's a really good movie with three beautifully intertwined stories dealing with the complexity of escapism in Mexico City. A word of warning, though, regarding all the gore and wounded/dead dogs.

2006 FIFA World Cup
Too bad for the Socceroos, I was really rooting for them. Kewell will have had some nightmares last night. Today feels like a slow World Cup day. Boring games (what's that Spain group all about anyway?) and Oiler game tonight so you're not too interested football today anyway. Tomorrow, on the other hand, we have Sweden-England which should be really interesting, especially pending the result in Ecuador-Germany. If Germany end up second in that group then Sweden-England may end up looking like one odd match. Hopefully Sweden can give me some comfort should Edmonton lose tonight.

NHL
I'm so nervous right now. The game is a full nine hours away! I'm not really sure what to make of the Oilers' comeback going into game 7. On the one hand we have the momentum, but what does momentum count for in a game 7? Carolina will have their best effort of the playoffs and they're on adrenaline at this point just like us anyway. If we're to make any use of our supposed advantage from the longer rest prior to the series we need to pick up the good bits from last game: Skate, forecheck, hit, and skate some more. If Carolina are allowed the breathers we lose the only real edge we have. They beat us three times already and if anyone thinks they'll look as dodgy as in game 6 they're dead wrong. Go Oilers! Bring it home! *gets ready to put vintage Oilers jersey on*

No one ever said Schmarth was smart. Edit: Incidentally people have called Schmarth "Smart", which kind of proves my point.

2006 FIFA World Cup
Late win for Germany. On the one hand I was kind of hoping Poland would win it, but then again I can live without Poland whereas Germany need to do well for the tournament to stay truly hot in the country. We also have the situation with Sweden, because if they finish second in their group they're likely up against Germany. However, if Ecuador beat Costa Rica by more than one goal and then manage a draw against Germany (after all, Poland nearly did it and Ecuador beat Poland) then Ecuador win the group. It'd feel kinda wacky to win the group and still have to face the Germans, but you still wanna do it. Sweden will need 3 p against Paraguay tomorrow, but I have a bad feeling. 2-0 Paraguay is my prediction.

No, he didn't repeat what you said, he only explained the reason behind this curious fact.

I tried the tornado thing. Didn't work. That movie is sooo unrealistic.

If we lock up all fat ladies in North Carolina this should be easy as pie.

What's in your pillow?
Well, female breasts are okay too. But they're best when accompanied by a head, so that you can lie with your head just under her chin and feel the breasts more like against your neck. That rocks. Get me one of those pillows.
