The Death of the Lucky Moustache

Jaysus, has it been that long since I updated last?? Well, a lotta stuff has happened, and then again not really. Arsenal are back in the 1st place, though not in a totally convincing way (loosing 3-2 to Southampton, not good enough!).

I decided to lose the moustache again, since it wasn't really that convincing and Arsenal's results didn't seem to have any connection with it anyway. Instead I hope that the Arsenal-cartoon babe on Arseblog will serve as a lucky charm from now on.

I went to see The Doves in Copenhagen, or more exactly on Loppen in Christiania. The place isn't very cool, kinda trashed actually, but the concert was terrific, even though it did manage to put me out of money for the rest of the month....

Wednesday I went to see Red Dragon which was ok but not fantastic. I hadn't seen Manhunter before, so I was kinda excited to see this one, also because it has SO many cool actors in it. Especially Ralph Fiennes seems to have recovered from that English Patient ordeal. I may be the only person who hates that movie more than Elaine Bennes.

Saturday I bought the new album by Paradise Lost, and it's absolutely excellent. It's alot more like the stuff from Draconian Times, than the stuff from their "Depeche Mode era"

That's it for now - Cheers!

The Tale of the Lucky Moustache

YES! The tables have turned. Finally. The order of the universe has been restored. Arsenal are back to their winning ways. Surely it couldn't be right that Arsenal should score owngoals and lose games. Surely God's plan was that Fulham and other crap teams should score owngoals and lose games. And so, thanks to Steve Marlet, we're right back on track. One - nil to the Arsenal hasn't sounded that good for a long time.

Now, I don't wanna take all the credit for this sudden change of luck, but I do believe that my new grown moustache has some sort of talisman-like effect on the team, providing them good luck and causing the opposing teams' strikers to score goals in their own nets. Of course this will have to be put to the test in matches to come, but I am willing to make that sacrifice. If, however, my moustache serves as a lucky charm for Arsenal I will at some point have to make the decision of either a) keeping it, and keep getting good results, or b) shaving it of and have some chance of ever being with a girl again. Football or women: the eternal male dilemma!

Thanks to Arseblogger for the shoutout.

Moustache Log Day 7

It's beginning to look a bit better, though the air hasn't exactly been thick with compliments. It hasn't quite reached the Burt Reynolds/ Tom Selleck stage yet, but at least it's better than John Waters'. And due to it's obvious magic powers it will at least get until the next Arsenal game to attain perfection. Between the three guys who decided to grow moustaches, I'd definitely say I'm in the top two - not bad eh?

Okay, I know I am a bit of a dork at updating this page, but it's mostly because not a lot is going on right now. Arsenal lost their 4th consecutive 2-1 game, yet another owngoal by yet another Brazilian midfielder, and Jan Koller, whose biggest asset is he looks like Jaap Stam's ugly brother, dived his way to the lamest penalty ever, perhaps even including Denmark's penalty against Luxembourg. I can't say I'm pleased with the way things are going, but it's still way to early to talk about a crisis; we are through to the next round of the Champions League and still #2 in the premiership. Actually, if we absolutely had to lose 4 games in a row, this is probably the best time to do it.
After the game we decided to drink away the pain, which meant I wasn't home until 6 AM Thursday morning, which againt meant I wasn't able to do fuck all yesterday, so I'm kinda looking forward to getting out a bit today.

Some time ago a couple of friends and me decided that we should grow moustaches ("It'll be like a vacation away from us selves"), mainly because after Donnie Brasco came out there has been a general consensus between guys that it looks cool. The girls doesn't seem to agree too much, but I bet they'll come around. I've decided I would try and document the evolution of my own moustache, and perhaps some of the other guys:

Moustache Log Day 5:

A dark shadow has emerged. I've decided to go for a bit of a goatee and sideburns look - a la Dave Grohl - and then shave of the other stuff later when the moustache really kicks in...

I'm not really satisfied with what I've seen yet, so I guess I have to be patient and play the waiting game. Luckily I haven't really got plans for the weekend, so not a lot of people will have to see me ;o{)
