  1. Oh yeah Bordeaux is good. I saw the game today and was really impressed. I am not happy Milan let Gourcuff go for such a small fee. He would have slotted right into Kaka's old spot once he moved on. Oh well. Not sure if they will win the Champions league, but they have a better shot than Lyon. A lot will ride on the draw for the next rounds. Yes, Blanc is has had good results for the past few years, and if France do poorly at the World Cup I would not be surprised to see him take over the national team.
  2. Less than you think. I am really into the drone right now, I don't know why, but I think I could listen to it for another 20 minutes.
  3. I really like that video. It reminded me of my one game that I got to see in England (Manchester United - Lyon two years ago). I am also a closet Spurs fan, but only because of Harry. I think he is my favorite manager. Also I hate Liverpool, so any one finishing fourth other than them would be great. I am intrigued by the playoff plan. I think the one in the Netherlands works well, but maybe if they did it in England it should be just be between the 4 and 5 placed teams. It would make things interesting at the end of the season.
  4. Am I supposed to see something? All I have now is audio and a picture of Jeff and Glenn.
  5. I would rather take it myself, but I would not mind seeing Barca win again. Any Arsenal fans? Thoughts on either goal? I think you guys really need a new goalkeeper. Not just based upon yesterday's two howlers, but on the season as a whole. Lots of goals that should have been saved. Interesting note that it was the same referee as the France Ireland game.
  6. Most of the games can be found either on veetle.com or atdhe.net with no viruses or things to download. As you can see by my avatar I am also a soccer fan, one that is not very happy about yesterday's result.
  7. My mother and best friend have challenged me to give up alcohol for lent this year. Considering I am a 22 year old college student with St. Patrick's day,and two of my house mates birthday's during lent, and many people who know me consider me an alcoholic it should be fun. I will let you know how I am doing.
  8. I was at Chipolte the other day with some friends. They stopped talking and looked at me funny. Why? because I was unconsciously singing along with Wilco that was playing. I did not even realize that I was doing it or that Wilco was on. I just started sing. It was fun.
  9. Less than you think. This is a serious suggestion. Stay on stage for the drone at the end as well. That would kick ass, but might get an F. It's gonna be fun though.
  10. Just finished "rise high the roof beams, carpenters" I am much sadder about this than I thought I would be. This sucks
  11. “When simplicity of character and the sovereignty of ideas is broken up by the prevalence of secondary desires, the desire of riches, the desire of pleasure, the desire of power, the desire of praise, - and duplicity and falsehood take place of simplicity and truth, the power over nature as an interpreter of the will, is in a degree lost; new imagery ceases to be created, and old words are perverted to stand for things which are not; a paper currency is employed when there is no bullion in the vaults.” Ralph Waldo Emerson "Self Reliance" 1830! My god I am only 21 and abhor being reachable 24 h
  12. Yes. I do not have tv or money to subscribe to a newspaper or magazines. I went the Internet and this is where I came. Most places do not have a straight answer, and instead have either dire warnings, or claims of utopia. Some people do consider it a bad thing to consider health coverage as a necessary cost. Which is kind of the whole debate, right?
  13. I tend to stay away from these political threads and discussions in general because most of the time I do not think they change anyones mind. (I am a politics minor so explain that one.) Anyway, since the health care bill just passed the house I have one question. It requires people to have health insurance, that is what I got from the article on politico. So If i don't have health insurance do I get a ticket, or go to jail, just like with required car insurance? Or what is the punishment for individuals who choose not to have health insurance? I say choose assuming that people who cannot affo
  14. This is what I thought of when I read the title of this thread. But yeah, Maine sucks. My uncle who lives there will get an email.
  15. Funny you said that. My mom was on the local school board when she gave it to me to read. She then had the whole school administration read it, or maybe they read it first.
  16. My favorite teacher in high school recommended it to me so I read it all in one night, in the spirit of how it was written. I read it again this spring on the suggestion of a friend. I thought maybe it would get better as I got older. Also I live in Denver now, and come from Iowa so many of the places in the book are known to me. It did not help. Another book, nonfiction, that I could not complete is "Good to Great"
  17. On the Road Read it twice, god I hate this book.
  18. Hilarious: http://www.avclub.com/chicago/articles/what-wilcos-jeff-tweedy-thinks-about-what-you-thin,33935/
  19. Not sure which videos you saw so I am not sure which songs to recommend. I would say I got hooked on "Stuck between stations" just the music though. I got a friend of mine to listen to them by playing "Sequestered in Memphis" even thought he hated Boys and Girls in America. I have never seen them live or looked them up on youtube, it might be a different experience. I think they are a good rock'n'roll band. Following the formula of sex drugs and rock'n'roll to sing about.
  20. I saw this a few months ago,it came out in New Zealand when I was there. I was pretty good. But a little long so it loses it main story about half way through. Still a fun view, but maybe not worth the $20 at the theater.
  21. Chicken Fingers... with Club Sauce!
  22. Just checked youtube, not there. I have not seen it, and try not to watch tv that much, so if anyone could upload it somewhere
  23. I love that the nudie suits are just the suits. Also the random people are good.
