Lazy Days...
According to Metal Hammer Linkin Park Light (or Adema, as they call them selves) tried to pick a fight with Down. Imagine theese weenies fighting these guys, BIG MISTAKE! (-especially the guy on the second photo, Jesus Christ!!!) This weekend has been, well, relatively quiet. Hanging around and drinking beer, and warming up for next week, where I will be tutor for all the new kids who are starting at the English Department, which will probably be loads of fun. Tonight I'm going to see Spider-Man, which I actually saw a couple of months ago on some guy's computer. So that'll be fun as well. In terms of not so much fun; Arsenal drew 2-2 with Hammers, in a game I didn't see. So that sucked pretty bad, though Hammers are Iron Maiden's team, which kinda makes them cool by association. (Up the Irons!) Sunday, August 18, 2002
Arsenal vs Birmingham 2-0
The Carini deal is now officially dead and over. At this point Arsenal doesn't have a real backup for Seaman. The Danish media has earlier linked Thomas Sorenson with Arsenal, but I guess we just have to wait and see what Arsene has up his sleeves. Saw Arsenal vs Birmingham earlier today and I have to say it was a solid performance all over; Wiltords goal was superb, Henry looked hungry in front of goal, our Brazilian duo distributed the ball well, and the defence didn't make any mistakes. At one point a statistic of ball possesion in the last five minutes showed: "Arsenal 80 - Birmingham 20", I guess that tells the story of that game. Friday, August 16, 2002
Someone Fucked Up
With Man U loosing their Champions League qualification game, and Liverpool looking in poor shape in the Charity Shield game, I honestly thought that Arsenal defending the doubble was a pretty safe bet, and then comes this! In the immortal words of my English professor "Someone fucked up!" Apparently we will have to start the season without a real backup for David Seaman. Crap. In keeping with the biblical theme from the last post, one of my friends stumbled across this page while trying to unload some crappy DVD's to some unsuspecting kids in Australia. I don't know what's scarrier; that religious people have to hope for people to make typing errors to get any hits on their pages, or the stuff on the page about Harry Potter being the devils work. Or perhaps their right wing section called "Shut up or go home". Scary stuff.... Wednesday, August 14, 2002
Keane, Jesus and Roy
Well, everybody must have heard about the Alf Inge Haaland vs Roy "C*nt" Keane thingie by now; Haaland is thinking about taking legal action against Keane for deliberately injuring him, which Keane admits to in his forthcomming book (Yes, he is a regular rennaisance man). Obviously Danish tabloid Ekstra Bladet are more interested in the fact Keane also has some less flattering things to say about Peter "Big-nosed c*nt" Schmeichel; namely (for those who don't speak/read Danish) that he's a selfabsorbed wannabe who cried like a baby when he had to give up being captain of the team, and that he always craved attention. (Unlike Roy Keane who chooses to keep a low profile by making a book about himself.... very clever indeed.) I could make some remark about what a couple of c*nts they are, but I probably shouldn't.... I just got this from my brother, for the first time since Eddie Izzard's Glorious show it might be fun to read the bible. I for one have now got a picture of crucified LEGO man saying "Why have you forsaken me?" on my desktop. Stylish! Apart from that the last couple of days have sucked pretty hard, except of course from Gunners winning the Super Duper Happy Meal Cup. I was feeling ill already before the game, and I obviously thought it was just a hangover, but it got worse, and by nine o'clock I had a fever and everything. I pretty much only just got out of bed today, where I was, by the way, brutally awakened by a mad electrician who stormed into my room at 7:30 with an electric drill. (and when I'm half naked and sleepy I don't tend to argue with people who carry powertools - I just fuck off!) This meant I had to seek refuge on my friends couch while he was at work and try to get some sleep, which of course did not happen. Tonight I have a party to attend, so I just hope I don't fall asleep somewhere..... Thursday, August 08, 2002
Adam Sandler in Good Movie Shocker!
What promises to be the first really good Adam Sandler movie (Well, that and Happy Gillmore) Punch-Drunk Love, directed by p.t. Anderson, has been moved to an earlier release so they won't clash with the Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings sequels. The sooner the better is what I say, but what is scary is that the world of modern cinema is now being run by cape-wearing, magic wand-polishing, Dungeons & Dragons playing geeks. That can't be a good sign!
Upson, Secret Agents, Korn and Jerry Cantrell
Matthew Upson is back from the injury that kept him out of most of last season, which is pretty excellent news since both Keown and Cole are bound to get injured again sooner or later, and he can play both positions. And it's always nice to have a real backup for left back, though Oleg also did a decent job when he was moved over there. With new signing Cygan (if he's any good) we actually seem to have a solid defence for now. As long as we can keep Stepanovs of the pitch I'd say we're in the clear.... Today I got to perform some industrial espionage at work, calling other companies pretending to be some other guy and requiring information for our company: "Hello, my name is... Mr. Snrub, yes that will do... can you please send me some information about your company that you would never give me if you knew I worked for your biggest rivals?" (My place of work shall remain nameless.) Obviously, the temps get to do all the stuff that is borderline illegal.... And yes, that was the highlight of my week at work, so don't be surprised if I go postal out there very soon. Afterwards I went out and bought the new albums by Korn and Jerry Cantrell. I haven't really heard Korn very much lately, but the new single Here to Stay is very cool. The Jerry album is a must for every Alice In Chains fan, and I already know it's excellent.

... okay, Now He's Back!
I've had a bit of trouble with Blogger, but now I'm ready to update again. I suspect that everyone has now seen the Brian Tindle bulletin board. Somehow it grew somewhat out of proportions, to the point where there's an article (in Danish) about it in Danish newspaper Ekstrabladet.dk (Who stole it from Opasia, who stole it from interestingstuff.dk, who stole it from Arseblog.com.) Tindle-Mania is now a global phenomenon. Manchester "Scum" United were in Aarhus yesterday to play a friendly against FC Aarhus, and everybody went crazy and filled the newspapers with pictures of David Beckham. Go figure! How much did they win last year? Nada. Meanwhile nobody would have noticed if Edu came walking down the mainstreet in a Gunners shirt. I don't get it. According to Ekstrabladet.dk Rio Ferdinand was DJ'ing at a discoteque called Train, and that is what make the papers these days. (Yes, that is still in Danish.) I went to the stadium Sunday to see the other local team, AGF, draw 2 - 2 with Esbjerg - for a match report go to John. One of the many advantages of living on the university campus is that the window to our bathroom, which faces a park, is always open, and the lights are always on; the result is that it feels like an all-bugs production of Doctor Doolittle everytime i try to take a shower. I have so far managed to expose many a nightcrawler to the awesome power of a Reverse Cripplectomy (Thanks to Arseblog) Saturday, August 03, 2002
He's Back!
My internet has been shut down for the last 3 days, making it very hard to update the 'blog; not that a lot has happened the last couple of days that I know of, since I've been completely out of the loop..... Got attacked by a spider in the shower - didn't get any new superpowers (except the ability to scream like a girl.) It's been extremely hot for a while now. The other day I met a black dog who asked for directions to the post-office. Can't wait to see what happens now. Oh, and then I've spend the last couple of days moving into my new dorm room and buying IKEA furniture. If every man has his own private hell, I'd have to say that the IKEA store in Aarhus is mine. I really hate that place. I have to go to my uncle's 70'th birthday today. There's really nothing like sitting five people in an extremely hot car for 2 hours (I call shotgun!), but the party will probably be fun so it's okay.
