Home Stretch

After carrying a constant dull but bearable throb in my head the past days, I got to hoping that I could get rip-roaring sick for a bit just to be rid of it. Grr.

Oh, and someone kick me please the next time I propose coding anything mildly computationally-intensive in Perl. Multiplying two matrices with about two million elements each takes about six minutes in Perl. This might not sound so bad in isolation, but the same operation in MATLAB completes in the blink of an eye. Bleh. At least it works, even if debugging is a pain in the posterior.

And another thing - never round off matrix values early, even to four decimal places.

In local news, there have been hints of nuclear plants (maybe the talk at NUS did foreshadow something after all), amd what's this? We're now the World's Number One Sports City! I can't help but feel more sporty, just as soon as I get rid of this headache.

Sat through a round of Battlestar Galactica: The Board Game yesterday, after my cousin's friend brought a copy. Picked Gaius Baltar as my character, and got a You Are A Cylon Loyalty card. So far so good. Managed to stay undercover and mess up a few skill checks as I tried to suss out my partner-in-crime-against-humanity. No luck. The Sleeper Agent phase came about soon enough, and everybody got another Loyalty card. Guess what, another Cylon card for me. Sadded.

Come to think of it, it would probably have been better to just be more blatant about sabotage and reveal early, especially without any Cylon buddies. Oh, and a lot more verbal deception, but that's not my strong suit.

Back to getting down to project business:

P$487/P$700 thanks to Arsenal and City losing some steam the last weekend, which has my aggregate predictions going south again. Fortunate for me, it's not for real.

$50 on Tottenham to beat Bolton (at 2.20) - c'mon Bale, Bolton are no Inter, and Steinsson is no Maicon.
$50 on United (-1.5) vs. Wolvehampton Wanderers (1.67) - Wolves are the worst away team so far, surely two goals are not too much to ask?
$50 on Blackpool to beat Everton (3.90) - the way I've seen Blackpool play, they must be in with a shout, especially at nearly four to one against.
