First 8k run outside in a long time (too damn cold and too busy). Feels so good.

That's from Wild Strawberries.

Wow, missed that completely!

I guess Shanghai Shenhua realized they can easily let Anelka go but should hold on to Drogba. He scored about a million goals in the 10 or so games he was there and almost got them to the Asian Champions League. Went to one of their games, and he's still got class.

I would say no to the shoes. orthopedic-grandma-look.

Thoroughly enjoyed it, but I can see why people might not like it. Heavy on dialogue and a thoroughly caustic outlook, strong ending. Maybe a bit too topical, but that is the film's strength and weakness at the same time.

What is with the praise for Argo? The film is solidly done and works as a slightly unspectacular espionage-thriller, but it's basically on a cowboys-besieged-by-Indians-trip like Blackhawk Down or something. Also, in it's celebration of the rescue mission, it somehow fails to even mention the historically way more important failed military intervention?

I was so disappointed when I saw the video of that. After reading 'Hazard kicks ball boy' I was expecting something of Cantona-type magnitude.

Thoughts on this?

Interesting that Guardiola picked a financially solid club like Bayern with the financial fair play coming up, good move. I hope he gets some time to build something, the club's management is notoriously difficult, for example in the way they chewed up Van Gaal.

not my wife, unfortunately

another Mifune pic:

I thought the fight scenes were very well done, and that's what the film is all about. The rest, yeah so-so, it didn't have the melodrama of the anime.

Yeah, I felt the same. Overall way too much La Liga.. No BPL, Bundesliga, Serie A?? Besides Chiellini, where's Yaya Touré, Pirlo, Götze?

I'm also curious o see where David Villa will end up. Arsenal could need someone up front?

Most of the time I don't like Wagyu so much as a steak, it tends to be too rich and overpowering to have in big portions.

I wonder when Mourinho will leave Real for England or PSG. Might take Ronaldo with him as well. I think putting Casillas on the bench has been the tell-tale sign.

Down jacket leaving feathers all over my cashmere sweater.

I really want to like El Sharaawy, but dude really needs a better hairstyle. Neymar as well..

jichan, mass: you got it.

Haha, not sure about mean girls? I meant The Graduate: "I just have one word for you..."
