huh. hmm.

I just read a chapter out of the best book so far in my course about two men, Thaumauste and Panurge having finger signing sex. The chapter is called "How Panurge confounded the Englishman who argued by Signs" out of the book "Gargantua and Pantagruel" by Francois Rabelais. It was certainly entertaining . And certainly the first time i've read an intellectual debate with the usage of finger porn to illustrate an argument.

Here's a little excerpt:

Thaumauste began to tremble and grow pale, and made him this sign: With the middle finger of his right hand he struck the muscle of the palm beneath the thumb, then put the forefinger of his right hand into a ring formed with his left; only, unlike Panurge, he put it in from below, not from above.
Then Panurge struck one hand against the other and blew in his palm. After which he once more thrust the forefinger of his right hand into the ring made by his left, pushing it in and drawing it out several times. Then he stuck out his chin and looked at Thaumauste intently.
Thaumauste now began to sweat great drops, and had all the appearance of a man rapt in high contemplation.

Well, you've got to love those Renaissance folk eh?

Its an awesome book with a boorish rude kind of humor. ooh fun! Why wasn't one of my essay topics on this..

Anyways, away with academia for a mo'!

Man United beat Lille away! Yeees! No one beats Man Utd twice in the Champions League! Benfica learnt that in the group stages and now it will be your turn Lille!! So, we've got that crucial away goal, and now we just have settle them at home at OT. *squees* I'm really interested to see how far we can go this season.

On the other hand, Bayern lost to Real Madrid!! Grrrr.
Its 3-2, which is not that bad really. 2 away goals and a 1 goal deficit. What in hell kind of goal celebration was that, Van Bommel? But a loss is a loss. All Bayern has to do now is to win 2-0 at home in the 2nd leg. Judging by current form, these two teams suck. Bayern, can you even win 2-0 at home?? A season ago this would have been nothing. Now, you can't even beat teams like 1. FC Nurnberg and Alemania Aachen. Okay okay, its a slump. Man United was going through something similar for the past two seasons but it was not as bad as this. We still managed to maintain 2nd place all the way through. And eat your words Uli Hoeness!! In case you were wondering, Hoeness is one of the puppet masters at FC Bayern. And he was dissing Man Utd last season when Michael Ballack was deciding where to go, saying that if he were smart he wouldn't choose to go to Man Utd because they weren't the same Man Utd as compared to before. Look where your club is now! muahaha. Okay i am a Bayern Supporter but i seriously think they should get rid of their entire top management, Hoeness, Beckenbauer, Rummennige.. And to add to this irony, they said that they wouldn't miss Ballack when he went to Chelsea.

You do miss Ballack, Bayern.

Furthermore, Beckenbauer has come out and said Ballack would have been more suited at Manchester United. While I will certainly want to agree with this (b/c i'm all M.U.F.C and it's Michael Ballack), since he's chosen to go to chelsea, is there a need to constantly dig up old bones and examining them? geez. Ballack is like the highest paid footballer in the world right now at Chelsea, why would he want to move? Unless something really drastic happens to him at the club. I am sure Man Utd would swoop in readily. And you guys at home who get to watch the premiership week in week out are probably more familiar on this, but apparently, the chelsea fans and some chelsea team mates are not that warm towards Ballack. The fact of him being German and not contributing enough seems to be a recurring topic. Ah well. Herr Ballack, i can only support you in peace when you are playing in the mannschaft.

Rest of the matches: Barca lost to Liverpool, again! *doesn't know whether i'm happy or neutral about this* the rest were all draws, Chelsea and Porto *SMIRKS*, Roma and Lyon, Valencia and Inter..

Today was kind of hot. I wore a fresh new pair of jeans only for it to get dirty because the snow was melting into a thick brown slush!! Arghhh, damn it.

I have so much work to do! * Is happy, strangely*

I feel a Jefferson Airplane and The B-52s obsession coming on.
