Just reached 150,000 medal points.

So, there you have it. I really do watch the Olympics. Bad day for the german swimming team today, but there where some other surprises as well (Phelps not winning a medal, Russia winning a gold medal in Judo).

No, there are no umlaut errors on our userpages. But I thought there might be errors, just like on the BBS.

I really don't get how they can work on news posts but not on the BBS.

Yeah, I cannot understand that, either. Shouldn't be too hard to implement the character set for the BBS as well.

In that case, you can go for seconds.

I rather expand my Deep Purple collection. It's time to get some of the real classics like "In Rock" or "Machine Head".

Yeah, you do that. I thought you had them already so what gives?

I have them as MP3s, but not as CDs. But the mentioned albums are so good, I should get them on a CD.

And you'd be lucky enough to have a half-decent indie record shop that will sell second handed metal CDs.

It's hard enough to come across second hand CD shops already. Let alone good ones.

This just shows - record shops really are dying out there.

Just like any small specialized shop. It's a shame.

There is one example of a bad booklet done in the right way and that's System of a Down's Steal This Album.

Yeah, that's some very nice concept art.

I quite like the album as well. Usually I can't enjoy an album with that many tracks but SOAD do well with making every song stand out from each other.

I never listened to the full album. In fact, I don't even know which songs they released as a single.

It's getting cooler now.

There's supposed to be a heat thunderstorm tonight. Let's hope it cools down after that.

And now it's sunny. Fuck.

It was raining a bit today, and it should continue to rain tomorrow. But during the week, it should get sunny again.

Best of luck to them if they're to try and calm a dragon down. Best way to do that is for them to have a love partner.

Maybe they have a dragon therapist?

It's quite possible they have one but I've yet to meet a dragon therapist.

But have you really been searching for one?

Just be grateful you don't get to see what happens in my house because otherwise, you'd be seeing my junk for sure. :P

Sorry, but I don't care for your junk. :P

That's fine, I know someone who will care for my junk.

As long as it isn't me, I'm okay with it.

Ask them for a favour? Not a problem, so long as you can get everything paid for before their bill comes in, right?

But why all the hassle for just one album? It's not worth it, at least not right now, when I have so many other albums to get.

Fair enough - I just wanted to offer the help, just in case you wanted to.

I really appreciate that. But see above, I have other plans. ^^

Apparently today was my 11th anniversary of joining Newgrounds although it's now 4am on the following day, I'm so drunk I can barely type (you don't want to see the unedited version of this post) and 3 fat, hairy guys just left my hotel room. Yeah it's been a good 11th anniversary.

The Book Of Taliesyn, Deep Purple, In Rock, Fireball, Machine Head and Burn are very good albums.

Not that I've watched any of this yet but I highly doubt any of this will top Mr. Bean being featured on Bruce Dickinson's music video for Elected. Yes, it's an Alice Cooper cover.

Well, you've got me there and that's a similar idea of mine. Nude pose + game in front. :P

Fold. I can't be having with games like this - it's too real for my imagination to cope with...

A lot of imagination to run wild for the other one, though. :P

Foourrtyyyy oneeeee

If you can watch Mr. Bean in the Opening ceremony (look on the BBC website) and not even raise a smile, you have no soul

Oh yes, that was hilarious. Even better than the Queen skydiving. I don't get why people say "Bejing was soooo much better, they all moved in unison, blah blah blah". So what if the chinese moved "in unison"? The british opening ceremony was a hundred times funnier!

And they say that people don't get our sense of humour!

I bet Monty Python helped to get your sense of humour out into the world.

Also, if you like many people moving in unison, maybe you also like the opening ceremony of Germany 1936? >:(

Yes and when we have the Olympics in North Korea, we will have a new Olympic sport - goose-stepping :P

I thought it was only the Youth Olympics? But if they really get to host the olympic games, we will have games with absolutely no media coverage at all.

Yes, but it doesn't sound as good in the tune of "Campdown ladies", with us singing as follows:

"Two world wars, one world cup and two Olympic medals Do-dah! Do-Dah."

Does it? :P

I like the "original" version (without mentioning the two olympic medals) better, to be honest. Also, "Three world cups and three european cups, Do-dah! Do-dah!" sounds like shit as well. So basically, we are fucked. The fact that Germany will win one medal today (either Silver or Gold) doesn't help, either.

That too. At least we won bronze for team men's Gymnastics and our first ever Olympic game of Women's Volleyball (indoor, not beach)

A few more medals for the german team today. We are on a roll!

I'm just glad I'm currently updating no list. But with Auz including all three review types, I really don't see the need to update the Audio Reviews list anymore.

Well, it's really four since portal reviews have now split into two.

It is four indeed.

The only one there I don't have is Burn.

So, you should get it.

It's one I do have in mind.

Good.

Shades of Deep Purple is alright. I can enjoy some of the covers as they include The Beatles among them.

I never got into that album (even though "I'm so glad" is all right). Basically, the songs are too long, with not enough happening there. Just endless guitar soli of the most annoying kind. Something we call "Gefrickel", but I am unable to find a good translation for that, heh. Maybe "fiddling around" does fit in this context.

Surely you can enjoy Hush at the very least.

I like Gotthart's version better: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cIn5qNpfeQ0

Well, they do good offers on soft drinks but I'd rather have the shops we have right now.

Whenever I hear Tesco I have to think about that one guy that was working as a cashier there. He was so damn SLOW! It took him almost 3 minutes to scan two items!

Good thing they have self services, right?

I tried that when I was in Manchester, and failed miserably. I tried removing an item, but the stupid thing didn't do what I wanted it to do...

Sunny today but at least I had a shower so I feel better after going through a bit of sun. And no, it's not too hot to have a shirt on.

Rain for most of the day, which kind of sucks if you go by bike to the train station.

Cloudy today which is just what I wanted.

Still rainy, with a few snatches of sunshine.

If they exist.

They just have to. There has to be a rule, like "If it exists, there are therapists for it."

If there is one, they must be very hard to come by.

I don't think there's an overwhelming need for them, so of course they are rare.

Passed 16000 saves

24,000 B/P

Also, passed 33,333 total points recently

26,000 Experience and Top 70 BP'er.

Well, it's been one of those 24 hours, to be honest.

Won the cup yesterday in the cricket, came home, grabbed a pizza, sleep.

Woke up the morning, three s routine, off to work at the car place, finish, head to the pitch and play.

On the bright side we won. Conversely, I'm knackered.

At least I can relax a little tomorrow, as it's only training...

Listening to:

Elvenking - Wyrd. There's something about this band that should have been very good throughout but seem to have missed the spot constantly for the last few records. Previews of the new album don't impress me either and I expect a lot from power/folk hybrid metal subgenres.

And now to wonder when the fifth one will arrive. Shame for the eventual fifth one as I like the sound of the Big Four of Newgrounds. :P

Good.

Buuuut, right now I want to get Hellwell's debut album (Manilla Road side project).

Good thing they have self services, right?

Yeah, they are a little tricky but I'm used to them at this point.

Cloudy today which is just what I wanted.

Still rainy, with a few snatches of sunshine.

I wore a coat but it got too warm. I was still sweating when I got back home even after taking my coat off and changing into fresher clothes.

If there is one, they must be very hard to come by.

If they only show up in somewhere like America then screw that!

52,000 B/P points.

Not that I've watched any of this yet but I highly doubt any of this will top Mr. Bean being featured on Bruce Dickinson's music video for Elected. Yes, it's an Alice Cooper cover.

Personally, I think that Bean's Chariots of Fire was better than Elected.

Well, you've got me there and that's a similar idea of mine. Nude pose + game in front. :P

A lot of imagination to run wild for the other one, though. :P

Look, what you and her get up to is your own business. Nothing to do with me, though I might actually beg her to get off with you, just so we can draw a line under it.

The IOC wouldn't risk damaging the brand - official Olympic partners, such as Coca-Cola and McDonalds wouldn't be allowed to sponsor events, as local brands would need to take precedence.

And two Golds for team GB at last :) I think that we know who BBC Sports personality of the year 2012 will be now. Step forward, Bradley Wiggins.

haha, what can I say, I got up really early yesterday.

I wasn't expecting it :P

Well it's a somewhat sombre day for me. My father passed away this morning from Bowel Cancer. I'm kind of in shock at the moment, since only 3 weeks ago the family were told he wouldn't make it to the end of the year. So this came very suddenly. I don't really know how to feel because I haven't spoken to either of my parents for many years (a lingering family feud, I wont go into the details). But ever since my daughter told me the news, I feel like I'm having an outer body experience or something akin to one. I just can't seem to get my shit together at the moment. I'm yet to cry or grieve in any way but something definitely feels missing. Sorry for the rant, like I said, I'm just not all here right now.
