Blood Bowl - the game of Fantasy Football

For those of you who remember Blood Bowl was a great game GW produced about 15 (?) years ago.

It's basically a variation on American Football with a big emphasis on maiming your opponents as well as scoring Touchdowns.

Anywho, local boy Dolan Murray has kickstarted the game again in the area. We've got a game organised for tomorow at 11am kickoff, now i've never played at all before but i'm damn keen to give it a go.

I've been researching it on the net as of late to give me a bit of a heads up. The first drama is ofcourse which team to pick... There is a bewildering array to chose from (~20 teams?) but for me there is no choice ... Anything that involves Lizardmen or anything remotely reptilian is the default choice for me.

Next pick a team name! This is where you can help, surf over to my MySpace page - www.myspace.com/jonospicer and vote on the poll i've created! cool huh !

Also for any of you who've played the game before, any tips? Matto and Dave, looking at you.

Finally as my team progresses, i'll add player profiles etc to my MySpace Page AND best of all, Match Reports on a frequent basis!!

Stay tuned for developements...

Your weekend ?

I thought i'd follow sara's suit and post a weekender report.

Damn the type lag in Blogger is out of control, this writeup is going to get annoying fast.

Anyway, my weekend was my Birthday weekend. The public celebration was on sat nite at the Argyle in the Rocks. Now with the cyclone style weather and in the middle of uni exams I wasn't expecting to much of a crowd. However pretty much the entire Sydney based Norfolk crowd turned up. While Dave Baggot and Kat represented everyone else lol. Fun night, good place, I kept up my Birthday night trend of drinking to much, and throwing up all night.

And this upcoming weekend Georgie is taking me to Roar n Snore which is the Taronga Zoo overnight camping trip thingo. Very exciting ! tho the weather might make it even more interesting.

The type lag is majorly pissing me off, ive already forgeotten half of what i was going to write about. Damn you blogger! Myspace will be getting all my blogs for now until you sort this crap out.

Anyway, hello to Dave, Ross, and Sara. You guys seem to be the only Ftown readers ?

On the weekend I...

Ok... so I intended to write this last weekend, but it was a really really really shitty weekend that I think is best forgotten that included boy-dramas and my grandma passing away. This weekend was slightly better... well, my grandma didn't die twice, but it started with her funeral on Friday. I hate funerals, not just cause they are sad and make me cry (I'd already seen my grandma when she died last week, so the funeral wasn't as sad or difficult as I expected), but funerals consist of:
1. Going to church
2. Seeing the extended family I don't like
3. Seeing lots of sad people
4. Having to listen to a room full of people singing hymns and saying prayers and reciting bible passages
Now bible shit is always bad to listen to, but I swear my family picked some of the most ridiculous passages ever written. My cousin read one that went something like this:
"There is a time for living, there is a time for not living.
There is a time to be happy, there is a time not to be happy.
There is a time to be sad, there is a time not to be sad.
There is a time for making love, there is a time for not making love..."
and it continued like that for at least 5 minutes... You'd think they'd run out of things people can do...
Then there was some prayer which made my brother and I start laughing almost hysterically...
"If one does not wear clothes then one will be naked"
At least my second cousin gay-Johnny didn't sing, if he sang then I would've walked out of the church.
I wanted to print up my own eulogy (sp?) pamphlet telling people that praying is a waste of time and insulting, and instead just writing something nice and funny about my grandma, but I was told it would be disrespectful and my aunt got really mad at me :)
So that was Friday...

Saturday I was meant to go to Newcastle with Craig for the weekend. Things with Craig and I have this uncanny ability to constantly be cancelled at the last minute, so despite the fact Newcastle had been organised for a couple weeks, I just knew we wouldn't be going. Saturday comes around, and I was at work (I got a job last week at the local newsagency) and a woman came in and said "They've declared a natural disaster zone in Newcastle and they aren't letting cars up there". Of course. Something had to happen. So I got the newspaper off the shelf to check, and sure enough, roads were either collapsed or flooded and no one was allowed through.

So... instead we went to see Pirates of the Caribbean. We intended to see the 3:30pm session at Broadway, and after driving around for nearly an hour and not able to get a parking spot or get into the main parking area, I drove back and went to the cinemas at Burwood (I never even knew where Burwood was before). Of course we just missed a session and had to wait 45 minutes for the next one. Then there was more then half an hour of previews. Then the movie sucked, and went for 3 hours. It was the longest afternoon in the world. Fooking stupid movie, I didn't get home till 8:30pm.

Then I went to the pub and missed $5 cocktail hour by 5 minutes, but managed to get sloshed on very little. Yesterday I wasted the whole day doing nothing instead of studying. So far today I have scrubbed the stove and grill and all the fiddly bits and pieces in order to not study.

Some long weekend... I have exams starting on Thursday, so better get a move on.

What did everyone else do?

oh, and today I am very excited cause I got tickets to see Bob Dylan in August! YAY!
