just like the terminator...

Today marks a very special occasion. Arsenal reserves are playing Portsmouth, and everyone's favorite Crozilian is back in the lineup!

Welcome back, Eduardo. We've missed you.

avoid confusion

I was confusing myself with my "football" blog entry tag, because I used it for both American football and soccer/football. So I've fixed the problem; American football is now "our football", while soccer/football is "your football".

These tags were, of course, inspired by this old SportsCenter commercial:


The end.

be a gooner, be a giver

Clichy in a pink wig = total awesomeness? Also, I wonder if I can get Dudu to do my English homework...

this week in things that annoy the crap out of me...

People who insist on blasting their heavy metal music AND DRUMMING ALONG WITH IT in the middle of the night when I'm trying to go to sleep because I have to get up at 6 am the next day for my stupid philosophy final exam!!!!

I hate people. People suck.

I'm tired and incoherent and want to go to bed.

random stuff that puts a smile on my face

pharewell phantom planet

The news that the guys of Phantom Planet have decided to go on indefinite hiatus is not all that surprising to me. And actually, it's not all that upsetting either. You know the saying: all good things come to an end...and this good thing had a nice long 15 year lifespan. They brought into the world four fantastic studio albums and two b-side collections, plus various singles, covers, (allegedly) amazing live shows, and overall general happiness. The only thing I'm really sad about is that I never got to see them in concert.

At 4 am this morning my subconscious was doing everything in its power to stop me from writing my paper. Consequently, I had an urge to reacquaint myself with some videos from Phantom Planet's old blog. They are and always will remain one of my favorite bands, and this is due as much to their personalities as their music. Hopefully these videos will give you a clue as to why. Nerdy rockstars FTW.

(BTW, I had a really difficult time picking out my favorite videos. You guys should really just go to their youtube page, because there are so many weird and hilarious things there.)

Opening bit to their live DVD:

And finally, Phantom Planet World Tour 2004
