soccer report

After a bye week, we suffered another ignominious loss, this time to White Puke, something like 13-8. I had to go into SF today, so i didn't have dinner, and i knew it'd come back to haunt me. About midway through the second half i started running out of gas; it didn't make that much difference, though, as i didn't really give up any soft goals except for one when the guy shot just as i blinked.

What really ruined my mood was the twins playing on my team, who get awfully scrappy when things don't go their way (and sometimes even if they do). In this game they each had a nasty takedown from behind; White Puke players weren't exactly playing clean, either, but that ain't no excuse. Playing with people like that is embarrassing and is bad for the team because we're playing a man down while they're cooling their heels in the penalty box.

My confidence in playing out of the box is increasing. I gotta keep working on that. And i'm gonna have to start throwing myself at players' feet if they have a chance to shoot and my defenders are away. If they manage to elude me and score, i can adjust. Otherwise, they'll just pick their corner, and i can't let them do that anymore. I'm sick of this 3-game losing streak.

OK, so how much money do the phone companies make on collect calling? The enraging inanity of Carrot Top and Alf aside, are the ridiculous magnitude and frequency of ads we see justified by the profit they make?

Another item that's all over TV and the Web: shaving blades. What the fuck? How much money is in the shaving blade industry that they are desperate to top each other with moronic ads of guys in space and alien chicks fondling their faces? Now we have the Schick Quattro, "the world's first four-bladed shaver!" Remember that SNL skit about the shaver with 35 blades or whatever? IT WAS A JOKE, SCHICK. PUT THE QUATTRO DOWN BEFORE YOU HURT SOMEONE. No, i take that back, go ahead and shave your fucking head off! ARGGGGGH.

After years of disliking pesto, i must confess that i love my wife's pesto.
