Rather harried no thanks to bleeping connection issues with the university's mySQL server - I think the configurations have changed such that they don't accept calls from my local copy of SQLyog anymore, or there's something more esoteric going on behind the scenes. Either way it doesn't do anything for productivity.

This calls for sad songs, and the active community over at Hattrick know quite a few:

Objects in the rear view mirror may appear closer than they are [Meat Loaf]
The Godfather Love Theme [Nino Rota]
Shy [Sonata Arctica] (anyone knows if there's a term for a rhythm like this? Maybe got prize)
Letter to Dana [Sonata Arctica] (the Dana from the previous song gets referenced)
Charlotte Sometimes [The Cure]
Lost Control [Anathema] (damn slow)
Die With You [Blutengel]
Mad World [Gary Jules] ("The dreams in which I'm dying... Are the best I've ever had")
Drugs Don't Work [The Verve]
Sadness [Stash]

On the brighter side, I got assigned a Final Year Project. If only I hadn't two to chew on now. Then again between those and aggressive hamsters, I may be able to regrow fingertips soon. Props to another great comic strip I came upon by chance - just when one thinks nothing can top one's faves, along comes something that may be even better at times. Some picks:

World History and the Pope - Crusading Inquisition Slavery Terrorism Pedophilia, can't beat that surely!
Armed Force Asshattery - Example Story
Safer Cigarettes - Actually, I had this idea a while back; If people will smoke, why not try to make it healthier (and maybe earn something on the side?)
Reincarnation Outlawed - The Long Arm of Chinese Law (but they are way behind, supposedly the Catholic Church did the same in the fifth century A.D.)
The Piece of Paper that did Nothing - Reference. Sometimes I think, why bother?


I'll do the accounting for the Challenge a bit later. Missed out on yesterday's opportunities, but then I would probably have got only the United victory over Villa right. Didn't see Arsenal coming back from 2-0 down to Bolton.

$70 on Tottenham to beat Newcastle (at 1.55) - Spurs regaining their form
$20 on Liverpool (-1.5) vs Everton (3.05) - Merseyside derby it is, but Pool may take it by two clear goals. At three to one...
$10 on zero goals in Liverpool vs Everton (8.50) - As you may have guessed, zero is one of my signature punts
