ghost rider & darts

get the darts out of the way – we drew… we were 6-4 down and i played – i won then al won his game so we drew – fookin ace:)

i watched ghost rider tonight after i got in from the darts – what a fuckin bizarre film – it reminded me of snakes on a plane and needful things – i cant decide whether it was really crap or not – i think its the sort of film you watch when theres bugger all else on tv and its a sunday night, you’ve got a bottle wine and you dont necessarily want to go to bed but you just fancy watching a film

i am absolutely sure there are people who could rip the movie to shreds but if you want a “movie” to escape to then its nots bad – nic cage turning into a flaming pycho from hell was fun though… ;)

im not far off now moving back home to ibiza and revealing the new ibiza site – its gonna be big ;)

hot fuzz, golf, ibiza and the problem of being britney spears

how can i even begin to say how absolutely brilliant hot fuzz is… if you liked snakes on a plane, shaun of the dead (& point break or bad boys II – you’ll get the last film references after you see the film) and understand brit humour then this is the film for you… it takes the piss superbly without being too obvious ie airplane, scary movie etc

some parts you just go “wtf” which is always a very good thing in my book – cant praise it enough

played golf today – i havent played for 2 months – in fact i havent hit a ball in er 2 months. our golf society had 2 divisions – gold and silver – one low handicappers, the silver is the, well high handicappers – yours truly is a high handicapper since ive been playing golf for the best part of about 18 months in total. today a milestone. i won the silver division today after we played altorreal and scored 29 points (stableford) – i won a 20€ golf voucher which i will put towards buying a new pitching wedge which i lost at roda golf last nov i think. typically, after doing well, i’m buggering off the mainland in 3 weeks to go to ibiza where they have one course that seems to be more expensive than the ones down here – and everyone knows the courses down here are expensive… good side is since im not going to be here i dont get cut on my handicap in the society ;)

we’re at barrys bar for darts on weds (not going to even bother thinking about the pool tomorrow) – they are a point ahead of us with a game in hand so the highly.trained.athletes need to focus – then another darts game on thurs – so if all things go well.. well lets see….

not many weekends now till i return to ibiza – cant wait to see everyone – not looking forward to the summer though – i’m not a big fan of ibiza in the summer – sorry

ive gone for a null point (said in crap eurovision french accent) for the jack bauer kill counter tonight – but as i pointed out – he’ll probably waste half l.a. now….

cant think of anything techy or interesting links to anything techy etc so – whats the britney haircut all about? she needed the attention and i guess thats a dramatic way of doing it. i do feel sorry sometimes for people like that because they are built up and up by the press (because it help sells their newspapers/tv shows etc) and at the same time they can be spectacularly dumped and deliberatly crapped on by the media for the very same reason that it sells.. ads, papers, increases ratings etc

its very very hard, if not impossible, for anyone who is not a “celeb” to understand what it must be like – i wouldnt have a clue – its very easy to say “i’ll have the problem if you give me the money” – but realistically – how many rich famous celebs dont “fuck up” ?……. (for “fuck up” you could also read “act like everyone else”….)

btw – chelsea dagger is now starting to really get in my head – i take back what i said – i love it – what does surprise me is i havent heard anything from sam roberts, kill hannah etc on indie 103.1 – i hope its not because of an anti canadian bias

some phrases & words come to mind

♠ cluster fuck

tv, film and footy


do i ever write about anything else ?

a quick blog since i cant be arsed to write a diatribe

  • the office wasnt as belly aching funny this week but was still great – i think andy and karen are history, shame, but thats the way the cookie crumbles
  • 30 rock was great – i dont see how how alec baldwin won a globe but he was good – only liz could finally get someone she was attracted to, to end up being “family” – i was really hoping she’d end up getting a good shag
  • have started watching a cbc series called intelligence – after the pilot and 2 episodes in i like it – the good news is that i think episode 12 went out last week so ive got plenty of time to catch up
  • pysch is back on tv next week i think
  • watched idiocracy last night – if you are not a fan or dont like mike judge films then it may not be yer cup of tea – however if you like the piss taken out of the inevitable dumbing down of the u.s then this er bert is your one….
  • its not often i want the pool to win but today a 2-0 over chelski was nice – it wouldve been better if drogba had at least got a goal so my competitors in the fantasy footy would have no clean sheet and i would have got a goal scorer – on that note i’ve had a mare – goals flying into my defenders, red cards, no goals – bleedin useless these footbal players….
  • turns out some la galaxy players are starting to get a little miffed at beckhams wages – hardly surprising when you work out that he will earn on average 500 times a week what the rest of his team mates do
  • at isohunt at least there was a mini blog about what was happening – or not – as of today theres nothing up at all…

i am not predicting anything about tomorrows game – i am going to have chewed most of my nails down to the quick by 1pm let alone when it starts at 5…. i hope we walk it but at least the worst case scenario is still 6 pts ahead of chelski >(

employee of the month

watched this tonight – dont ask me why but i enjoyed this film – pretty good soundtrack, nice sarcy bits, a bit cheesy, guy gets the girl etc but good fun – maybe the 3-1 win over villa this afternoon and a bottle of red may have put the edge on it – glad i watched it though.

all this talk about if mourinho is going is great – i cant believe terry has come out with this: “We don’t want Jose to go and if it takes five or six of the senior players to tell them so, then that’s what we’re prepared to do,” – this is basically admitting that there is something going on behind the scenes at chelsea. this does unsettle a team and is fine by me
