Such Great Heights.

I know, I promised this a bit earlier, but do not kill me for stalling once again :) Frankly, I cannot remember the last time I wrote something, but let´s see what I´ve been doing.

First. Arsenal. After that 0-0 four times in a row they managed to beat WBA last week and then Burnley on Sunday. I loved Sunday´s match. For many reasons, strating with Eduardo as captain and scoring an unbelievable goal. You really wouldn´t think the man was out from the pitch almost a year. Someone on BBC chat said: "100% international, 100% genius - great to have you back Eddie" and I could not agree more. Really, you do not even realise how much you miss someone until he´s back. (Dudu played last night too, but that in a bit.) Sunday was great. Vela´s chip to the goal was sweet for a guy of my age and I think we all can give Eboue a rest for a while.

So, last night. If you obsessively check UCL results like I do, you know already it was torture. 1-0 to Roma after full time and extra time meaning penalties. I cannot stand penalties. I´m not going to list all the emotions I went throught last night, but it included everything from wanting to throw up to euphoric crying. I can´t even tell if they played well or not, I have kind of forgotten the little details. Nor do I really remember the penalties. I was once thinking myself who I´d let take Arsenal penalties (given all of them were fit to play) and the list was something like RVP, Ade, Dudu, Shava, Cesc, Nasri, Rosicky, Walcott. Four of them did take a penalty last night (Dudu missing his, but he had the honour of being first with all the pressure), but when the likes of Denilson, Sagna, Diaby and Toure net in penalties for us... What can I say, they are good at it. I never doubt we have good penalty takers. We´d win Spurs anyday. (I mean, who managed for them... Corluka?) Crocked stars are getting fit (Dudu and Theo already are :D) and I am feeling optimistic. We won´t win the league, but won´t end up on the relegation zone either. Now if only Pompey would manage to drag themselves out of the bottom...

Then then. Movies. I have watched a huge bunch of them. And all good too, I do not watch bad movies. The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford, V for Vendetta, Gomorra, Benny & Joon, Children of Men... All fabulous movies and very different too. Well, okay, V for Vendetta and Children of Men have the same kind of idea, got from a different perspective and it´s not the same at all. And Gomorra is great, even if it resembles more a documentary than a movie. I can recommend all of them. Jesse James has music by Nick Cave, so it´s even more great.

I haven´t been reading that much lately, but I did start Stieg Larsson´s The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo (?) the other day. I´m not sure if that is the English title, but I remember seeing that one somewhere. Literal translation of the name would be "Men Who Hate Women". 100 pages in and nothing has really happened, but the build up seems really good and I´m convinced I have read it in a couple of weeks. Swedish crime novels are always good. I´m also reading a book for the university entrance exams and so far I have liked it. Yes, liked. It´s weird since I didn´t really care about that topic bac in high school, but I guess it´s the different way the writers approach it this time that makes me like it. At least I´m not suffering when reading it :)

And. I did mention I was in Tallinn. A quick weekend trip with my Mum, nothing special, but it was nice. A small break to the every day routine. It still looked the same it did the last time I was in town, but now I found a nice park that had this snow park for kids. I don´t really know what to tell about Tallinn, since I´ve been there so many times that it´s almost like some sort of second home. The food was still excellent though.

Don´t know what else I should write about. Ask me, I´ll answer. Until next time, take care!
