Hiya doin'.

[slightlyoffaxis]

So my sister made me listen to that "Hiya Doin'" song-thing when it came on the radio today.  I hadn't heard it before, and it's pretty funny, but it's pretty much designed to get you to automatically add "Hiya doin'" to the end of anything you say after you hear it.  All night I've been thinking "I want some more apple juicehiyadoin'," and "I'm

Actually in a lot of ways soccer is quite exciting(moreso than football, continuous play, no bullshit timeouts, much shorter game). Because the goal is so big any good possesion near the goal is always exciting as it's always a scoring opportunity. The reason the scores are low is because at the top levels the teams are evenly matched. I saw Sweden v Iceland and Sweden was so superior in the second half they subbed IN their injured player to score a goal.

GO ARSENAL! 49 league games without a loss.

I arbitrarily decided to be an Arsenal fan after reading Fever Pitch

I didn't mean that soccer the sport was boring. But movies about soccer aren't as captivating because you can't boil down a 90-minute game into 2 or 3 plays for the sake of the movie because so much of it is just going back and forth without scoring.

Ok I can see that. Have there even been any realistic soccer movies? Shaolin Soccer does not count.

Ladybugs, Soccer Dog and Bend It Like Beckham. So no.

You should send me your chick lit because I've been shamefully wanting to read that one. Hee.

And I'm glad to hear Friday Night Lights was not the suck. Have quite a soft spot for football movies, if only because all the men in my family spontaneously start rubbing their eyes and cursing under their breath at the end of Rudy: "'M not crying. Got something in my eye. RUUUUUUDDDEEEEEE!!!!"

Even though I'm sure the writer is whining/exaggerating, it really does make me feel better about my life. I've made my share of dinner reservations, but at least I don't have to sort my boss' dirty laundry! Still, that didn't stop me from taking the book jacket off so no one can see what I'm reading. I'll see if the editor wants it back, if not I'll pass it along ;).

Degrassi is headed for some kind of amazing girlmageddon. I suggest Emma and Alex teaming up to rip out Paige's hair.

No, remember the preview for next week? Er, last week? Emma and Paige are teaming up against Rick. Emma is totally becoming muscle-for-hire.

Ooh, I should have taped the Jimmy Fallon thing! He's so cute!

Wow, Jesse is learning to drive! Exciting! I think I'd be terrified trying to teach someone to drive. You are a brave woman.
