watched the game between Arsenal and Juventus last night. Arsenal were pretty impressive, especially Cesc Fabregas in the middle of the park. Kolo Toure and Emmuanel Eboue were solid at the back; perhaps the goal-shy Juve forwards helped them abit. Juve were just disappointing. passing was bad, especially so in the final third, and they sorely missed the creativity of Del Piero and Nedved. 0-2 down, and Juve will find it alot harder to come back next week, even if they are playing in the fortress that is the Stadio Del Allpi; Zebina and Camorenasi having been sent off last night. Vieira will also miss the game, having picked up an unnecessary booking. all the signs point to Arsenal going through next week, bar a calamitous collapse.

woke up with a terrible headache. hangover from a night of disrupted sleep. anyway, headache or no headache, it'll be more of the same tonight; Lyon vs AC Milan tonight. 2 great attacking teams. looking forward to what should be an absorbing contest.

was thinking just now, as my headache was starting to kill me, about Panadol. kinda been scared off Panadol after the stories of what it does to your resistance to pain. so i was wondering: is there another good way to ward off headaches? i mean, if the stories are true, then Panadol, for all its short-term benefits, would hurt a person real badly a couple of decades down the road. the story goes that Panadol lowers your resistance to pain, so much so that after many years, your body would become so incapable of handling pain on its own that even for minor operations, morphine, a drug administered for GUNSHOT WOUNDS, would have to used in place of regular painkillers. that is a hell of a scary future man. so it made me wonder why the hell hasn't anyone bothered to come up with a more organic version of Panadol that is just as, if not cheaper than Panadol; a version that is as easily available and safer for consumption. i mean, if this theory is true, then something must be done about it. so many people use Panadol ever so often that it has become part-and-parcel of everyday life. shouldn't we now take a deeper look at the possible side effects of the drug? after all, a better drug might just keep that nasty migrane away for good.

i heard the crickets at 3:02 pm
