For the big day tomorrow I'm going to play hockey, then do a bit of shopping then off out for a curry and a few beers or whatever drink takes my fancy really. After last weekend I think I'll give Champagne a miss as it really doesn't like me, I can't cope with the 3 day hangover's anymore, not at my age!
Anyway....
I'm starting a "Vixzter's greatest albums that you must get" section on this blog:
First up is:
The Works by Queen
I've loved this album for ever! I think it's probably one of my earliest forrays into the big world of popular music.
Queen are pure class!
Lyric Of The Moment:
For we who grew up tall and proud In the shadow of the Mushroom Cloud Convinced our voices can't be heard We just wanna scream it louder and louder
Queen - Hammer To Fall
In the madness of the last week or so I've neglected my next Star Wars book countdown.
We are the champions, my friends And we'll keep on fighting til the end We are the champions We are the champions No time for losers 'Cause we are the champions....
Queen - "We Are The Champions"
So! Yes! we won! ;-)
I feel very poorly this morning.
Pictures will be posted when I feel better, when that will be I have no idea!
The hours before the game and the night out after.
2pm push back <--- that's the hockey term for kick off ;-)
We're the last game of the day in the league, although the other game that matters starts at 1.30pm
If I'm still in the land of living tomorrow (unlikely!) I will post our result and possibly pictures.....thats if I can remember how to use my camera as there is the very high possibility of vast amounts of alcohol being consumed this evening.
So this is it, at around 3.30pm we will either be flying up there among the clouds of happiness or completely shattered!
Lyric Of The Day:
We're gonna win Forget about a draw, we're gonna score And then were gonna get a few more Maybe another to be sure
Bryan Adams - "We're Gonna Win"
One more game to put my broken, old, worn out body on the line!!!!!
It's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right I hope you had the time of your life
Green Day - "Good Ridance (Time Of Your Life)"
Now I have to admit I'm suffering from a little pre-match nerves right now, its been like this for the last 4 or 5 games.
Now it's only Friday night and I'm trying my hardest to relax, ie: beer and pizza ;-) but this is the biggest game in a long time and I'm feeling all a bit sick LOL (time for more beer!)
It's got so bad that I've started getting my kit ready so that I don't forget anything important in the morning.
*Opens another beer*
On another note, there was a fire festival in town last week, its all part of Oxfordshire's 1000th's birthday celebrations, well any exscuse for a party I guesse. Me and Will took a trip into town to check it out and came back smelling of bonfires!
**^^Random Fire Festival Picture Moment Warning^^**
After all that.........
It's 66 Days til:
To keep me entertained I'm reading some of the best FanFic ever written that I found somewhere on TheForce.net fanfic forum.
Too much time spent dragging the past up I didn't see you not looking when I messed up
Kaiser Chiefs - Oh My God
Been on another Primark raid and have found some suitable accessories for the 'lucky dip' on Saturday night.
A suitably hideous hat and scalf, some lucky sod is going to have to wear that all of Saturday night. The rules are that you are to spend no more than £3 on accessories, well these billy bargains came in at £1.50 each.
Pure class!!!
So anyway, here's a pic of the skirt and leggings as promised in previous posts:
Can you see where this evening might be leading to? ;-)
I've heard a rumour that the tops we're gonna have to wear clash horribly with everything.
Last game means everything, we have to win to be sure of the title.
It's tense stuff!!!!
So this saturday coming see's our hockey fines night regardless of wether we win the title or not, we'll either be totaly over the moon or drowning our sorrows in a vat of some alcoholic beverage or other.
The attire for the evening is some recently acquired royal blue ex England hockey skirts, black leggings, shoes of your own choice and some hideous (i expect but I haven't seen them yet) tops. I've chosen to wear my great big boots as I think that will have a look of class about it with the leggings and the skirt ;-) (I'll post a pic of the skirt and leggings when I have a minute to spare)
Needless to say we're off into town to hit Pizza Express and then wherever the night takes us, could end up pretty messy!
Take no notice of the fact that the goal in this picture is on the piss ;-)
Anyway I'm off to sulk now cos Spurs just lost to Chelsea in the FA Cup :-( *sniff*
Appart from the grand National its the only time I will have a bet or 2.
So far I've picked Wee Robbie in honour of Robbie Keane who plays for Spurs, the next 2 have a distinctly Star Wars theme...... Imperial Commander and Flying Falcon.
No idea what races they're running in LOL, I just liked the names!
When I get to work I will ask the boss for some tips cos he knows what he's doing ;-)
Working all the time Work is a such a bind Got some money to spend Living for the weekend When it gets too much I live for the rush Got some money to spend Living for the weekend
Hard-Fi - Living For The Weekend
So yea..... the weekend.
Played in goal yesterday!!!
We won 5-3 after being 3-1 down at half time, I was a bit disapointed about the first goal I let in but the other 2 I couldn't do much about but we won in the end so all is well :-)
Still top of the league!
2 more games to go.
COME ON!!
It would appear I'm going on a cruise at the end of May, watch this space for more details as and when I have them! ;-)
I remember nights out when we were young They weren't very good they were rubbish Running round Highroyds isn't fun Just teenagers testing their courage
Hanging outside nightclubs in the snow Not very cool or impressive They let in all the girls from the year below No need for ID's with those dresses
Kaiser Chiefs - Highroyds
Thats Oxford on a Saturday night! except there wouldn't be snow just rain LOL.
Anyway was out last night, I was the only one not drinking, its amazing how unfunny pubs are when you're the only one sober.
Today is hockey, a must win game that I'm trying to get myself fired up for.
Feel a bit anti climatic now, it wasn't what I expected.
AlemaRar still lives!! it's a pity cos she nearly copped it at one point.
Han & Leia Solo are still alive but who knows what might happen next.
Luke & Mara Skywalker haven't copped it either, so who's gonna be bumped off is anyonesguess.
Jaina Solo had very little page time!! :-( although Jag Fel is back so it's good to see him and Zekk fighting over her even though they claim they're not ;-)
Ben Skywalker needs to stop being deluded by Jacen Solo who is still a complete knob and I wish someone would do him in too! But seeing as he's being made up to be the big villian then I already know he lives atleast for a few books more ;-)
And all thru this bloody Lumiya still lives, well I guess she has to cos she's the one keeping the whole plot on course.
I do fear for the Solo's survival, all 4 of them! even Jacen, he's practically had it anyway, hopefully someone will kick his arse soon cos he needs a good kicking.
So there you have it a very un-constructive review of a book you'll never read! ;-)
Bring on 'Sacrifice' although I have a sense of foreboding about it cos I think one of my favcharacters is going down in that one.
We are the angry mob We read the papers everyday We like who we like We hate who we hate But we're also easily swayed
Kaiser Chiefs - The Angry Mob
So anyway its been a strange week, I've been bloody knackered for most of it! Yesterday evening to top it all I ballsed up big time.
Went to hockey training, there was no parking anywhere as there was football on the pitch before us so I thought I'll park on the grass verge in the main drive leading towards the pitch, other people were parked there and there was a nice MR2 space just about right for my little car
Only thing was I parked too far onto the verge, and got stuck well and truly cos of the mud on there which I obviously hadn't seen cos it was dark at the time!
So after training my hockey mates helped me push the poor bloody car off of the verge and back onto the road, I am the biggest knob in the galaxy and also I did say if they could help get me out I would put £20 into the fines tin at the weekend. So there we have it, one very muddy car (although I've since washed it!) and £20 lighter, its a good job its pay day!!
After all that fun and games I read a few more pages of my book whilst applying ice to my knackered knee and shin. Got physio tomorrow so hopefuly he can fix all my aches and pains again.
The book is proving hard work in these last few pages :-(
Off out now to see if the car is ok after its little off road expedition.
