Bid thoughts
I don’t blame Gulati. If we refused to roll around in the mud, good for him. He seems an honest man with a true passion for the game. I don’t always agree with his decisions, but I think he is an intelligent person and who, unlike re organization he was trying to persuade, has scruples. If anything, I now respect him more. FIFA is a corrupt POS organization, but this isn’t new....

On Tangled
A lot of Disney fairy tales, most of which are lifted and adapted from the Brothers Grimm, feature frail female leads who in order to achieve their goal must rely on their man to save them. Over the past couple of decades, Disney has moved away from that formula and haven’t really done the fairy tale thing.

I don’t know what it is about today, maybe I just slept too much (napped pretty much half the day), but just about everything has annoyed me. 1. If you are in line at a movie theater, but don’t know what movie you are seeing, get out of line until you get it sorted out. Tonight, I went to see Tangled, and this family in front of me said they wanted “two adults, one child,”...

My Favorite Thanksgiving Story
Our family usually hosts Thanksgiving lunch for my dad’s family. This year, however, my great-aunt is bedridden. She has pancreatic cancer and barring a miracle this is her last Thanksgiving. Instead of everyone coming to our house, we decided to go to her house. My mom fixed dinner the night before and this morning and we brought it all over there and ate: my two great-aunts, my grandpa, my...

I guess Tumblr exists so I can rant about Everton
In an effort to console myself in the face of absolute certainty that Tim Cahill is going to leave us this winter, I have convinced myself that other players will step up. Why? Because they have to, and just maybe that’s exactly the kind of motivation they need. Who? Mikel Arteta for starters. I don’t know what his deal has been this season so far.
