Bombers down by 3 at quarter time ... I should get on to finding a feed.

But I HAVE written a blog entry about a place with a mysteriously well-mown lawn: Mow Your Lawn!: 69 Albion Street, Brunswick, VIC, Australia

 

[Axver]

Er, something called the Ceres Community Farm Gathering, I think... *opens FB again* There's a cafe there too?

Don't know them... but ouch!

Oh, the CERES thing is by Merri Creek off Blyth Street, between Lygon Street and St Georges Road. We walked around there once, though didn't go into the cafe.

 

[Alisaura]

Can I go home? I seem to have entered the Twilight zone at work tonight.

Yeah, from 30 points down. We were like special and everything.

Would it be hypocritical of me to give up on the Hawks for the season as quickly as you gave up on the Crows in that game?

 

[Axver]

... goddamnit, I've forgotten the sites I used last year to find AFL and rugby streams!

I don't know, you decide.

For me, optimism can turn into pessimism within a matter of minutes when it comes to football. I can't be blamed for expecting to be thrashed at the time.

Bookmarks are your friend?

I generally expect that too, and I rarely have any optimism about it... *L*

I am so tempted by this 3-DVDs-for-$30 thing at Border's this weekend, even if probably everything will be gone by now.

I wonder if my housemates are awake yet so I can have a shower...

Can you try espn3.com? I can give you login info if you need it.

It re-routes me to the Aussie one, alas. Don't think the Aussie one's showing the game, since other pay channels (namely Fox Sports) have the rights here.

 

[Axver]

Managed to track down one of the sites I usually use, myp2p.eu, and alas, they don't seem to have a Bombers vs Dogs link for today.

Goddamnit I need Foxtel.

 

[Axver]

Never knew it'd be this hard to find online coverage of the game! Well, at least Essendon's now kicking the shit out of the Dogs.

Poo.

SPOILERS!!!!

Hahaha, awesome. Looks like they're exceeding expectations already.

 

[Axver]

I must admit, I'm one of these people who has almost utterly no ability to watch sport that isn't live.

 

[Reggo]

I concede. As long as I'm on the thread, footy scores wil be spoiled for me.

 

[Axver]

Haha, I can spoiler-tag it. Just personally, I've always had trouble watching delayed coverage. Short delays, like how AFL is delayed 30 minutes in Melbourne when the game is being played at a venue here, I can cop. But I can't watch well after the fact. My heart's just not in it. To me, watching sport that isn't live would be like putting on a tape of an episode of the nightly news from 3 October 2009.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

I remember there've been a few occasions where we'd be playing at 12:30 on a Sunday afternoon, yet the coverage began at 4:30 for whatever reason.

According to Wikipedia, nothing happened on that day anyway.

However, this occurred on the 15th of October, 2009:

"15 October – A six-month-old baby survives when his pram rolls off the platform at Ashburton railway station, Melbourne and is struck by the approaching train."

 

[Vlad n U 2]

Oh yes, I remember that.

Oh good, I was wondering if I'd managed to choose a day when something momentous actually DID happen.

And hahaha, don't ask what the misanthrope in me thought about that.

"Was the train okay?" ?


Now to see if I'm too late for DVD bargains.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

I just love doing text responses on Shakespeare.

 

[bono_man2002]

Ah, that explains why there was a queue outside the Apple store on Flinders St that I never knew was there. Did you end up going to Melb after all?
Not sure I can be bothered catching up on 12 pages of sport talk...

Yeah came down late Friday, got home late last night!

 

[Reggo]

I ran out of fucks to give at work tonight.

 

[Alisaura]

No hot water, pilot light went out!

:wrestles with ignition thingy:

 

[Reggo]

Dude, my mom just trolled somebody on Facebook Chat. I'm proud.

 

[Reggo]

Don't blow the house up!

 

[Axver]

Hey Alison, did you get my message on Facebook? Think we're probably out for tonight, sorry.

 

[Reggo]

Must resist urge to troll Essendon FB page...
