| josh pyke at the gov... |
good evening viewers i have to confess i am currently taking fat enhancing supplements...true. as far as i know they have most likely been banned by weight watchers. yep just finished scoffing a few... commonly known as double dark choc brownies with some macadamia nust thrown in. as far as i know, technicially they are not illegal but something tells me that they well and truly could interfere with my highly successful "fat guts be gone" training program if i continue to eat them, hee,hee, god i am hilarious, not really it is late, can't you tell?
well, well, well i have to also tell you something rather strange came through my e-mail and it has got me wondering if i am under some kind of surveillance. i received an invitation from the essendon football club to be at the game to show my support and in fact they used my proper name. mm, got me wondering if they have caught on to this hugely successful and entertaining blog of mine that obviously is going to shoot me into the stratosphere of sports journalism. to be pefectly honest if the invitation had come with an all expenses paid trip with some shopping vouchers and a table booked at cumulus i would have considered it purely for the blog of course. but i can't be dropping everything and running of at the drop off a hat. i have responsibilities, like making sure my kids brush their teeth and put on clean guchas (undies). i have washing to do and my own training to think about because well because i just have because a mothers job is never done. and if you are a single mamma like myself ( don't bring out the violins just yet) i have a lot on my plate to consider before i can even contemplate getting out the door by myself...fullstop.
so to the couch. i have a confession to make. i was actually looking forward to the friday night game considering last week was quite pedestrian ( i got that word from danni minogue tonight on x-factor) but got a last minute invitation to watch josh pyke for free at the govenor hindmarsh. fortunately for me my companion is also quite footy minded so didn't mind hearing the score updates amid the crowd noise compliments of my handy iphone app. the first act although obviously talented and an accomplished guitarist was not my cup of tea. her music was well how would i describe it? music you would hear while you were drowning. the next support act patrick james was far more upbeat, kinda josh pyke like, easy to listen to and enjoyable. i have a new found like for the banjo, very cool. josh pyke, well he was entertaining and i personally don't mind him at all although i wouldn't rate him as an all time favourite. he is easy on the ear with some songs i prefer more than others. all in all i had a pleasant evening and quite like the atmosphere of the govenor hindmarsh, great venue for a more intimate musical experience.
this time i explained to lovie that i would be home around the midnight mark so she was well prepared. last time when i went to see birds of tokyo i failed to mention that the main act wouldn't come on until about ten. by the time i got home after midnight she was in a super huff and stormed off. god knows what she thought i was doing because it wasn't raging i can tell ya. in anycase all was well and lovie being a footy enthusiast herself gave me a run down of the game. her verdict, hawks were in a league of their own and taught the pies a lesson and should have probably won by 60 in reality. i can tell you having to take son number two to an eight thirty game in the morning was no easy feat. i had to flood my veins with copious amounts of caffeine and with the weather looking completely dismal i was preparing myself for torrential rain for later in the day. fortunately the footy gods had seen to giving us some cold and windy conditions but decided to not dampen our enthusiasm with buckets of rain.
the lady army had some last minute changes to its list. little sista piked out and son number two had decided to forgo the cold and stay home with big brother for a cozy, lazy day indoors with gas heating. so in the end there were four and i came prepared with blankets, homemade soup and a spare ticket to save someone a few bucks...the turnout was not huge, about 18,000 which probably had something to do with the weather. i am proud to say i have been to every home game plus one in melbourne so it looks as though my season record will remain intact. an impressive start with a good first quarter lead but i for one know that it takes four quarters to win a game. it wasn't pretty but when it is good it looks effortless and sometimes we just make careless and costly errors. happy to take the win and a step closer to finals. the only real bleak moment was checking up on the tigers and blues to realise that richmond had indeed lost a game they were expected to win. with essendon getting flogged again we are not out of the woods yet viewers. it could still come down to the last game of the season and right now i will be ensuring that i say my footy prayers every night to will those damn bombers across the line next week. an essendon victory ensures our spot but i cannot say that it is a given coz at the moment it looks as though they are going to continue to crash and burn. and i think it is fair to say that most people are just so over this whole saga and have had enough of not knowing whether the dons will lose their points. will they or won't they, that is the big question? i am not so convinced now and if so i think it will be at the very last minute to avoid some kind of legal injunction perhaps. will the finals get hijacked by a goliath legal war? who knows and yes i will sneak it in again...the makings of a new aussie feature film. i did think about casting demis roussos as andrew demetriou but i don't like my chances of getting him to shave off his facial hair!!!
well the mother and son tipping duo nearly made a clean sweep bar richmond. and the only other games i watched were the cats and the eagles. sorry girlfriend number two but your team did have to do the right thing and lose. i just hope you did not have to kill your husband in the process and that he sought sanctuary in a safe house. i also watched the last quarter between the doggies and the crows and perhaps now one might say ces't la vie. yes secretly i am delighted but will not make a big song and dance about it in case footy karma sees fit to punish me for being terrible....sorry crows buddies, no, not really,XXX.
and before i go there is one thing that has definitely begun to annoy me. i call it trial by media. chances are hartlett will probably get suspended for a tough but fair bump. first question they asked hinkley and it makes me wonder if you would consider that a bit of pre-empting the match review panel. and as far as they go who friggin well knows? sometimes they focus on the injury which in some cases may not be pleasant... ok that is my mini rant. and so until the next round folks you gotta admit it is getting interesting and the next round for sure will set the tone for some of the final games. so here is my little prayer...dear footy gods please ensure those slack and down and out bombers players get off their friiggin goozicas and give their supporters and the POWER ones something to cheer about. AMEN, lakanorch (goodnight) to you viewers. love FFFXXX.
