Didn't do too well in the cricket today - didn't bowl, scored 2 runs off 1 ball, which was nice to close the innings out, but when we lost by 23 runs, it wasn't as good as I'd hoped.

Still, back to it and now perhaps I can concentrate on catching Bahamut... for pentapoints and B/P!

Considering the amount of posting and ranting you do, I'm not surprised. I should really do more writing.

I don't think it's to do with my rants and such, I just know the differences very well and not make me look like an ass.

Well I'm sure they don't hurt. I'm actually really jealous that you have the patience to make them so frequently. I have trouble finishing whatever I start writing. :/

Oh, it was 103 degrees here yesterday. I would have loved to run in 80 degree weather. Luckily I was inside at work all day with industrial sized air conditioners. Then the pool water was 87 degrees, which was the exact temperature at 10:00 PM so I decided to go swimming then.

It doesn't sound very hot but the humidity and lack of wind made doing anything outside for more than ten minutes impossible, at least for a Chicagoan like me. :D

Yeah, I feel that. My list has me run six miles each day, though not today because it was burning outside. When I get home I swear to myself I will never run again, and the next day I look forward to it.

I've learned that the best place to not only run, but to exercise in general is the swimming pool. I can do 100 or so laps around the pool and then turn into the current and run against that. Not only is it better for the body because there isn't any impact on the knees and because you get the resistance of the water pushing back, but it's also nice because you never get hot.

I also do my underwater crunches in the pool because you can extend much further than you could when doing them on the ground. I can get about 30 in on one breath.

The thing is I'm a pretty poor swimmer. I can't even fathom doing what you do. Besides, I'm a cross country runner, so actually running is the most practical thing I can do. Thankfully I usually don't have to run more than two miles competitively so the extra running will really pay off.

My list also includes audio reviewing which I've, um, not been doing.

Yeah, reviewing... I might get to that today.. I skipped yesterday..

I got one in yesterday and was too exhausted to write another one. Why is it so difficult?

At 7/5/10 08:17 AM, Auz wrote: Haha yeah I hear many people are angry over that and hate Luis Suarez now. I think it was a fairly clever move and I most likely would have done the same. Ghana gained the ultimate opportunity afterwards to win the game, but they failed to score the penalty so I think they only got themselves to blame for their elimination. However, I don't like how they should parade Suarez around either, because it is sort of cheating and shouldn't be rewarded/encouraged in any way.

Exactly - FIFA needs to make rules to deal with this eventuality. In the days when one of the most respected umpires can cost a young pitcher a perfect game in baseball, a good angle to view the ball still means that he's the only man in the stadium that didn't see the goal (We wouldn't have gone further than that round, but it's the principle!) and yet a tennis player can challenge a line call and have a decision in seconds.

Yes it might have been more fair if Ghana was simply awarded the victory. Or maybe Suarez should've been banned for all the remaining matches this WC. I think measures like that would discourage players a lot more to cheat themselves into victory. Although perhaps not in Suarez case as they would've been eliminated anyway, but if you take Henry's case he might have thought twice about it...

But we need to take action, rather than saying something like "It's alright, as the Dutch beat them in the Semis anyway."

On the bright side though, Uruguay has even less of a chance to make it to the finals now that they are missing one of their star players.

It makes little difference.

Maybe it did, considering it was fairly close yesterday with 3-2 on the scoreboard :p

I still think you guys were too strong. I personally didn't agree with my dad's summary that van Bronkhorst's goal was goal of the tournament. I'm still behind Shabalala's opener, because he ran a long way for it and still had the control to slot it in the top corner from 20 years.

Are they arrogant pricks? I never hear that many bad things about them. I know van Persie liked Wenger very much because he gave him the chance to grow and become such a great player.

Ferguson kicked a boot in the dressing room and hit Beckham in the face with it. Wenger is a bigger whiner about referees than Jose. They'd booth be beaten into a cocked hat by Brian CLough - the greatest manager that England never had.

I see. Well what Ferguson did can happen I suppose, if a coach is really pissed (although he should keep calm). But whining to referees is a bit sad.

Whining about referees to the media is even worse. Both of these managers practice it.

Never heard of Brian Clough by the way.

"Old Big 'ead" was the best manager ever to grace English football. He had loads of memorable quotes, such as "I wouldn't say I was the best manager in the business, but I'd say I was in the top one."

Yes action needs to be taken. It is a bit hypocritical to promote fair play so much, but leave these cases with such a lame punishment.

Those two are definitely the best goals of this WC so far. I think Bronkhorst's goal was slightly more beautiful due to the accuracy of the shot, but Shabalala's was indeed very nice too since he ran such a long way and still managed to pull off a great and powerful shot at the goal (very difficult if you just took a long sprint).

For the rest I haven't actually seen that many beautiful goals this tournament. I think Forlan had a few nice ones, but they were mostly deflected shots and keeper mistakes so... =/

I see. Well what Ferguson did can happen I suppose, if a coach is really pissed (although he should keep calm). But whining to referees is a bit sad.

Whining about referees to the media is even worse. Both of these managers practice it.

Yeah it is sad like I said. There is a seldom a case where a game is really decided by a bad referee. In most cases you were just the worser team that day, and as a coach I think you should admit that. Especially if you are among the top coaches in the world.

Never heard of Brian Clough by the way.

"Old Big 'ead" was the best manager ever to grace English football. He had loads of memorable quotes, such as "I wouldn't say I was the best manager in the business, but I'd say I was in the top one."

Hahaha XD I read that he managed to make Derby County a premier division club, won the title with them and also won the champions league Nottingham Forest. He also had some lesser years, but those are some amazing achievements with second division clubs.

I'll still have to see. Maybe it'd be clever to vote for the same most of us vote for, but on the other hand I don't want to be accused of helping with mass voting. So I'll just wait until the end of the year and see then.

We Wi/Ht?'ers have every right to nominate for whoever so no-one can accuse us of anything, unless alts were used.

That was my biggest gripe with the junction system as well as magic. No MP so it was item-like which was rather annoying, especially when you needed to get the rarer magic spells.

Yeah, and I thought the magic spells were watered down anyway. Even the stronger spells often didn't do as much as damage as GF's or regular attacks, even with a maxed out magic stat.

Yeah, and as a result, I only really used Meltdown and Aura but they were really good for the Junction system.

Spoony was also right about drawing magic. It slows down battles sooooo much.

You know, I hardly drew magic from battles which is why I never had an issue with drawing but I didn't like how you had to wait a long time for some draw points to recharge.

The game was made in Japan so it's no surprise to me. That's actually considered as normal over there. :P Something tells me Spoony wouldn't last a day in Japan.

Yeah I guess so *thinking of Dead or Alive... =/*

Of course.

And hahaha Spoony in Japan would make some hilarious reviews and vlogs I think XD

What about technology in general? Many people including myself have many negative things to say about things like the iPad and Internet Explorer. If not, movie reviews aren't a bad idea, seeing as most of the cinematic material these days is...terrible.
