those dirty streewalkers from Celtic got served by Maribor. serves 'em right, you weren't meant for the champion's league!
It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.

Saw John Williams with the LA Philharmonic at the Hollywood Bowl tonight. About 50% were his works, the other a variety of classic film music. Really great event (he does it annually), and there were kids (and adults) with lightsabers everywhere. When the Star Wars theme started they all went up immediately. The only real downside was that Seth McFarlane was the special guest and came out to sing four songs. That was like 20 minutes of wasted time right in the middle of it. His voice is to singing what cough syrup is to cherry flavor.
They came with white hands and left with red hands.

My in-laws have bought a house in Oregon, just a couple of hours outside of Portland. Meaning we'll be spending our holidays in Oregon rather than Alaska from now on.
I am rather excited.

Met Matt Smith, got his autograph, had a proper photo taken with him, and he signed my wife's iphone case on a whim that made her over the moon. Then we got to see a panel with him and Arthur Darvill for an hour. It was a bloody GREAT weekend!

Who's Matt Smith? Silver Medalist in the Most Generic Name competition? (John always gets the Gold)

Enjoying a bit of a purple patch at the mo. I took a punt with a semi-career change back in Jan which was supposed to tip the work / life balance back in favour of life. I was a bit worried since it had been 10 or 12 years since it tipped the wrong way and I was afraid that I might discover I didn't like my life and/or wouldn't find things to do with my new found time - I guess a similar scenario to when you hear about people freaking out about retirement but on a smaller scale. Well what a stupid thing to worry about!! I have rediscovered 2 old hobbies, I am able to read again in the evening instead falling asleep after 2 pages because I'm so tired and I haven't been sick in months. It's frickin awesome

He's a striker that played for Leeds United but now plays for Fulham: Wiki link
Didn't realise QT was a Fulham fan but I'm glad he met someone he admires.

Okay, good, it's a doctor, glad you're seeing one. Wish we had universal healthcare here too. How's your bill of health?

I have been doing a sketch of the Middle Earth map to put up when we move into our house. I did Thror's Map for a friend and enjoyed it so much I went straight into this. I'm really surprised and happy with how it's going so far!

He's the guy that was basically forced by his drama teacher to become an actor after his football career failed, right?
'When I use a word,' Humpty Dumpty said, in rather a scornful tone, 'it means just what I choose it to mean — neither more nor less.'
'The question is,' said Alice, 'whether you can make words mean so many different things.'
'The question is,' said Humpty Dumpty, 'which is to be master — that's all.'

Actually not quite. His football career did fail due to injury (he actually went into this story at the panel he spoke at that I attended), but no one forced him into acting, it was merely suggested that he had a good personality for it and should try it out. Which he did and enjoyed it a lot.
the better part of the story was that he knew he was cast as the Doctor 3 months before he could tell anyone outside his immediate family...and one day his buddy was over watching TV and a commercial came on for Doctor Who and he apparently ever so gently smiled, and his buddy caught it and said "You've got that part haven't you?" and Matt apparently slyly smiled and said "Noooooo..." in a telling way.

I have learned a new (anti)social skill. I'm usually painfully polite when trapped by boring people but an extremely boring lady was talking to me on a training course yesterday. She didn't take any of the usual conversational cues that she was boring me (trying to change the subject followed by forced smiles followed by looking around for escape). I just walked off It was very liberating. I shall use it again.
