General update

Still a month and a half until school starts and the cheese has done a big goose egg of work on the Chronicles since getting back to the land of the mouse. Chance of finishing by August 29th = slim. Plus, all the wedding craziness has risen to the level of frenzy, and there probably won't be a honeymoon. But at least it's all coming together and will be over soon.

In other news the Dodgers blew a one run 10th inning lead to drop their eighth game out of the last nine. Diagnosis: even with Monopoly Bradley and Valentin back soon this season's done. Likely DePodesta will make the mistake of trading Weaver in the next few days instead of re-signing him.

At least Liverpool is on its way to a defence of last season's champions league triumph. Sure, Welsh champs TNS didn't pose much of a threat to begin with, but a 6-0 aggregate score is pretty impressive (in fact, Stevie G score 5 of those goals...Benitez should have just sent out Gerrard and Carson in the second half of game two just to give the other side a chance). Next up, some poor sods from Lithuania. Yeah, it might be a bit frustrating to start in the first qualifying round, but it sure is entertaining watching the lads kick the snot out of these small clubs. Here's how you know your completely outclassed...when 10 of your starting 11 publicly announce that they are fans of the opposing team (which is what the TNS coach mentioned before the start of game one). Kinda like the recent Galaxy/Real Madrid (should we call it a game?) match. The cheese doesn't have cable TV right now, so he missed this one (and a goal by English super stud who should return to his home in LIVERPOOL, Michael Owen), but all accounts are that Zidane could have beaten the Galaxy by himself. Sure, Landon Donavon was on int. duty with team US in the gold cup, but his recent "display" in the bundesliga proves he would have done little to affect the final scoreline.

Lastly, a short note to suavo...let's play discworld damnit! You have some novels now, so read them! Or, here's a proposition, don't read those ones yet...the cheese has another one sitting on his desk that is right up your ally...

If by "not" you mean "do" then the cheese wholeheartedly supports this plan. If, however, you infer from "won't" from do, then disregard this message.

How about a system that all of us know nothign about. Say D20 modern, or Warhammer fantasy.
