I thought about liveblogging the game, but didn't, and frankly it's good that I didn't, because I found myself in a nasty, jingoistic mood, coupled with explosive anger at Rachel Buehler until she slammed home her goal. Followed by explosive anger at the German (!) ref who disallowed Megan Rapinoe's excellent goal for a nonfoul on a Commie. Yay FIFA. Make sure the men get Mexican referees, and the women get Germans. I hope that disallowed goal doesn't become important.Landruhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11954074164878242561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3020960402708303830.post-54929787798334213502011-06-28T23:26:13.024-04:002011-06-28T23:26:13.024-04:00How about Frank Norris' McTeague?

Maybe the 9 hour version that once existed really was as awesome as contemporary critics said it was, but I have a hard time caring about what is today a hypothetical question, as we'll never see it. (I suspect many people are put off reading Norris because of the film, even though they'll also make obligatory nice noises about how they respect it, not wanting to seem like rubes because they find silents tedious. Whatever.)<br /><br />Anyway, welcome back.Jonathan Versenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17920597011270157903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3020960402708303830.post-4042978830522375342011-06-28T19:40:58.007-04:002011-06-28T19:40:58.007-04:00Welcome Back!

I'm willing to concede the possibility that my overjoy was mean-spirited.<br /><br />Your Ryan Nelsen point is well-taken. I don't agree with it under the circumstances (I'll especially take an upgrade at left back, which is very plausible and can be done without sacrificing too much money--which doesn't necessary carry over into the winter--or the DP slot, which does), but it's well-taken philosophically.Landruhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11954074164878242561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3020960402708303830.post-82494873502418665282011-06-28T11:00:47.829-04:002011-06-28T11:00:47.829-04:00Advocate violent revolution without the violence, ...<i>Advocate violent revolution without the violence, or without the revolution, or whatever the fuck it is you hipsters are rabbling about.</i><br /><br />I'm chanting for aneurysms and myocardial infarction.

Jeebus.<br /><br />Also: you're mixing allocation money and salary money. No. The acquisition window is most definitely not closed. <br /><br />DeRosario scored twice in Canada's less-than-ideal GC run. There is no evidence that he's done after this year, though he is, of course, eldering.<br /><br />Stop pissing on my joy, Buzz Killington. It's not even 24 freaking hours yet. WTF are you, Luke Russert? Just stop. Go. Gaze at your blog's navel. Bitch about Obama. Advocate violent revolution without the violence, or without the revolution, or whatever the fuck it is you hipsters are rabbling about. Jeebus, make me read annoying pometry, even.
