on another note, an example of genius at work:

	A knave, a rascal, an eater of broken meats; a base, proud,
	shallow, beggarly, three-suited, hundred-pound, filthy,
15	worsted-stocking knave; a lily-livered, action-taking knave;
	a whoreson, glass-gazing, super-serviceable finical rogue;
	one-trunk-inheriting slave; one that wouldst be a bawd in
	way of good service; and art nothing but the composition of
	a knave, beggar, coward, pander, and the son and heir of a
20	mongrel bitch; one whom I will beat into clamorous whining
	if thou deniest the least syllable of thy addition

in modern english this can be translated as:

You're a lowlife, a rascal who eats leftover scraps. You're an ignoble, arrogant, shallow, vulgar, pretentious, conceited, filthy third-rate servant who thinks he's something special. You're a cowardly lawyer-loving bastard; a vain, brown-nosing, prissy scoundrel who'd pimp himself out to advance his career; a bag lady. You're nothing but a lowlife, a beggar, a coward, and a pimp, the son and heir of a mutt bitch. I'll beat you until you whine and cry if you deny the least bit of this.

sheer brilliance. all you disbelievers bow to shakespeare

syf gwh

that's two 7-0 wins in a row. another one and we can say we hit jackpot =)

anyway. so both sections of the chamber orchestra got gold with honours. maybe it was expected. maybe it was simply hoped for. but i think, and i'm sure i speak for many in the orch, that we've been through so many musical experiences that the syf seems a very minor, and maybe even inconsequential, thing, compared to what we've done before, and what we're going to do. take for example our march concert, in that very same conference hall that hosted the syf. again i'm sure many feel the same way, when i say that syf pales in comparison to the thrill of playing the New World Symphony, or even Elgar's Pomp and Circumstance. syf is 8 minutes that fades away in almost no time at all. Dvorak is 40 minutes of sheer enjoyment that stays with you for life.

also, in all honesty, mistakes are much more easily forgiven when playing Dvorak than playing Respighi. There is no award for playing Dvorak perfectly. the sense of achievement is fulfilled when the audience is enthralled by the performance, and let it be a big audience.

syf is a waste of time. you want a festival, make it a proper festival. syf is nothing like a festival, in any sense of the word

ACS I 7 - 0 CJC

how i love this hockey team

first match of the season

at first 20 or so minutes of frustration and some ineffectiveness

then. boom. goodbye CJC

next in line is TPJC

let's see how long they last

manu 7 - 1 as roma

forget istanbul. that was a magical fluke

this was a magic show to entertain the fans that have given their sweat blood and tears to support the team.

and the team repaid that faith with pure magic. there's no other way to describe it

nothing to say, totti?

centre back

convert Gabriel Heinze to a center back. i've been calling for that for ages. he has the aggression, and quite a large portion of the brutality, that makes Vidic such a powerful defender. he can challenge in the air as well as anyone, he knows how to tackle, he's strong and fairly fast, and most of all, he's not afraid to kill a striker if that's what it takes. another plus point is that evra is in the form of his life down that left flank. he's more or less fully fit already. play him there. shift wes brown back to the right flank. he can't tackle to save his life, but at least it'll be less a problem on that side, and his overlapping is much better than o'shea.

brown - ferdinand - heinze - evra

o'shea

see, everyone has a place, especially now that scholes is suspended, o'shea can help keep the clean sheet that united must make sure they hold, as well as scoring on the other end

totti

"I hope I will make him remember my name. They are planning to 'cage' me? My opponents have always tried to do this with me, maybe when I grow up I will work in a zoo, I am used to cages!

"In any case, I must say that I am not a fan of English football, even if some great players play there. I don't like their football and I don't like England either because of the weather."

-AS Roma Captain Francesco Totti, in reply to Sir Alex Ferguson's comments

1) so at least you admit you haven't grown up
2) you also admit that you belong in a zoo. not bad. should be a record for you
3) that's why you're in italian football and not english football
4) who says italy's weather is any better. or worse, for that matter.
5) no matter what you say, a cage is where you belong. with a muzzle for your mouth
