Three Quarters Through

Geography paper navigated through this morning, Economics of E-Business on the 29th and Econometrics on the 28th. Can't say too much for Econometrics since I plunged most of the effort into the E-biz module (since it actually counts), whereas for Geography it was back to penning approximately four pages/hour towards a total of four essay questions, the two physical geography ones of which were compulsory. I have got to say studying for non-economics arts/social science modules can be a welcome change of pace.



Scholes, Scholes, he scores goals!

(Rather less classy remix)

Of course, I didn't give up staying up to watch the Champions League semi-finals till the wee hours either. United are finally through again, and while they played with ten men behind the ball at times, who cares? Scholes' screamer was fit to win the final itself, and the Ginger Prince gets his final appearance after waiting nine years. It would be a great swansong for a legend, but I sense he has a couple of years left in him with United before he transfers to Oldham or something.

Have to admit that the Chelsea-Liverpool tie was the more entertaining of the two, though. Actually I was secretly rooting for Pool to nick this one for a final like no other - United's recent record against them of seven wins and a draw in the league helps too - but Chelsea were too ruthless in the end. Drogba dives like few other men his size (which Benitez helpfully pointed out before the game, though it availed him little), but his finishing was simply outstanding, twice putting it past Reina at the near post. Red vs Blue on two fronts now, and expect a new edition of EPL Tales soon.

Nike have done it again with one of the slickest ads I've seen in some time. Only gripe is that Arsene Wenger seems quite obviously greenscreened in at about the 0:10 mark. Slightly surprised that the first-person perspective hasn't been exploited much in sports adverts though - it appears there's always something new under the sun.

$2814.75/$2850 after Liverpool conspired to draw against Birmingham (but on hindsight it should have been expected that they would rest players), and United didn't quite make it at Stamford Bridge. For today, it's back to the dependable Rams...

$100 on Blackburn (-1.5) vs Derby (at 1.60)
