Forcing myself to write something, because I need to get back into the habit. Christmas was the same as usual - it's not the big thing for my family that it is for some. Due to family Secret Santas my loot list is short but good quality: $75 Borders voucher, new Queensland Roar jersey, an Irvine Welsh book I didn't have yet, a cute little bead ( Read more... )

Token update just to prove I still exist, in case anyone was wondering.

I have decided he's officially my second favourite keeper ever (just behind Schwarzer, of course). It was a great game to watch, anyway - quick tempo, plenty of ( Read more... )
