Michael Medved is a racist asswad.
Remember, this is the same Michael Medved who thinks he knows movies, and also tried to rail a campaign against Marvel for making Captain America "an anti-American sympathizer"...after 9/11. |

| REMINDER: FA Cup Final tomorrow, Portsmouth v. Cardiff City |
[May. 16th, 2008|05:04 pm] |
A non-top-4 Premiership team v. a lower division squad who were faced with relegation at one point this season. Nice.
Portsmouth of course will be favored despite giving away a safety-sealing goal to Fulham last Sunday. However I really do hope the Bluebirds pull it off. It'd be something different and exciting, and it'd be nice to see a lower division team get a shot at European glory in the UEFA Cup (the last lower league team to attempt was Millwall a few years back, having gotten in despite not winning the FA Cup, as winners Manchester United were already in the Champions League. Millwall of course got their asses handed to them by Turkish club Fenerbahce).
Good luck to Cardiff. |

Let's see:
Money still owed on that car: $4200
Money still owed on Silver Machine: $3300 (for that and other things Superlawyer did for me)
Money spent on summer camp in Muncie IN that Miranda will now not be able to attend: ~$150
Money spent NON-REFUNDABLE for trip to Vegas next week since we can't get to Chicago to catch plane and drop off kids: $1000
...
Wow, gosh, I've taken just about a $10,000 bath the last 24 hours.

Even though you should be working with ME ME ME, just saw this post on MillarWorld from Joe Keatinge, PR & Marketing Co-ordinator for Image Comics, detailing a contest to draw a variant cover for issue #4 of Mark Millar + Tony Harris' upcoming series War Heroes:

| SEASON FINALE: Sunderland 0 - 1 Arsenal; Manchester United champions |
[May. 11th, 2008|12:04 pm] |
Theo Walcott scores the last Arsenal goal of the season to beat Sunderland 1-0. That's it, the season's over. Third place, still wish we took it all the way but we did better than most thought without Henry. So up your arses.
Manchester United are the undisputed champions, beating Wigan Athletic 2-0 whilst Chelsea got a late late draw 1-1 with Bolton Wanderers. Congratulations. Pricks.
Meanwhile, Manchester City threw a wobbly and got thrashed by Middlesbrough 8-1. What the fuck???
Reading hammered Derby County 4-0 and looked like they were going to make it past relegation.... and then Fulham up and scores 1-0 over Portsmouth at the death. That doesn't seem fair. I don't care how many Americans play for Fulham, they should have been dropped. I hope Reading comes back, I liked them. Birmingham City beat Blackburn Rovers 4-1, and they too still get sent down. Ouch.
So that's it. The season's over. Still remaining, the FA Cup Final between Portsmouth v. Cardiff City, and the Champions League Final from Moscow, Manchester United v. Chelsea.
Goodbye til August, English football. |

[May. 10th, 2008|08:14 am] |
It...wasn't as good as the first part. Guess it coulda been worse. It tried to be both a suspense thriller and a romp at the same time and it didn't really work. Pity. Tonight's looks odd tho, doesn't it? HMMM...
Time to get ready for a double-shift. |
