redfiona99: (eek!)
I'm feeling all eek, eee, argh at the minute:

- I've found my beloved Austria scarf, most importantly my lucky scarf, before the men's downhill. Hey, I wore it last time and an Austrian won, so I feel I should wear it again. I am well aware that there is no such thing as luck, but...

- I have also found my 'buy the Times for cheap' vouchers, also vital Olympic kit.

- I have lost a big cheque. So I have to see the Finance people. Who scare me. And the website doesn't say when they're open from.

- I'm all a-sniffle reading all the Robbie Fowler articles, this one in particular

http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,428-2013437,00.html

This bit in particular:
Whereas Michael Owen was jeered by some on his return with Newcastle United, Fowler has always been revered. They love him for every one of his 171 goals for the club, but they also love him because he is one of them, a daft scally who could be seen winning Fifa fair-play commendations, earning the wrath of Uefa by wearing a T-shirt supporting the sacked Liverpool dockers and snorting the goalline in an ill-advised celebration in a Merseyside derby.

Bear in mind this was all in one season.

There's also the fantastic story of him walking into the Liverpool chairman's office, grabbing a pen and about to sign his contract without reading it, only to have the Liverpool chairman stop him and tell him to read it first.

I <3 him so much.
redfiona99: (ski-jumping)
Since it will see the first use of the disco alarm clock. Be worried, be very worried.

I'm using the ski-jumping icon since I watched some of that today. The prime match-up tomorrow will be Jacuba Janda v Janne Ahonen (the guy in my icon). Should be good except I won't be able to watch it since I'm finally going to see Goblet of Fire. Expect long post on that tomorrow. Expect a long rant if they've got Diggory wrong - sorry I fell for Diggory in Prisoner of Azkaban when he wanted the result of Hufflepuff v Gryffindor wiped because it wasn't Harry's fault that he got spooked by the Dementors.

On a Harry Potter tip, I've done some work on my Remnants ficathon fic, and some reading up in the HP lexicon so the background of what I write should work. Well a lawyer could find fault in it, but that's about it.

Watched some of the Strongman event shown on Eurosport today, loved it as usual. Most of them were their usual adorable selves and there was this one American competitor who was just so deeply cool - has an idea for my next icon.

Also watched some of the Nordic Combined. Way to go Felix Gottwald - seriously, he made up 45 seconds in the cross-country skiing part. I feel sorry for Hannu Manninnen though, he really didn't look well at the end, even if none of them ever do.

Anyway, at the end one of the Norwegians was getting changed and you saw his underwear (grey boxers for those interested), and then later on Mariuz Pudzianowski got stripped down to his underwear (black speedo-type cut) and I got to thinking, in relation to something usually said about wrestle-fic, which is the distinct lack of foreplay and is it because people are used to seeing the wrestlers in little more than their underwear so it's felt that there's not as much need to write a convincing way of getting them down to them and then out of them?

That shall be my random thought of the day.
