This has been a good weekend for sports. Obviously, the biggest thing was Arsenal winning the championship this afternoon with four games still unplayed and still undefeated. But while Chelsea were losing to Newcastle I was out watching local team AGF win their first game of the year, which had the fans cheering like they'd just won the championship. They've played a series of terrible games, so obviously people are now hoping that this will boost their confidence enough so they'll start getting some more points. I was fortunate enough to get a bunch of free tickets for the next home games recently, so it would be nice if they would continue to win games as that makes going to games a lot more fun.

This is also the weekend of the NFL Draft, which I haven't followed at all. I read up on the Eli Manning trade, but that's pretty much it. I don't know anything about the players drafted by The Ravens, but trading for Kevin Johnson seems like a good idea. And finally we actually went to see the second best local team, FC Aarhus, play AC Horsens, who might get promoted to the best league this year, yesterday. The sun was out and so were quite a few people, so we drank cheap beers and hung out and had a great time although the game wasn't too exciting. And oddly enough they played Bad Reputation by Freedy Johnson on the stadium speakers, which was a bit weird as I've never heard anyone play that song ever. So that made for a relaxing and entertaining afternoon.

I just found out tonight that Guided By Voices have called it quits, which is a bummer. I'm sure Bob Pollard will continue to release albums, but it's still not the same. And unless they stop by Denmark in the Fall I'll never get to see GBV live, which really sucks.

I don't know what TV is like where you live, but around here there are just way too many shows devoted to plastic surgery. There are a couple of Extreme Makeover shows and while I was watching football highlights there was a show on another channel about women, who have plastic surgery done 'down there'. And to top it of the show Nip/Tuck just started running here. It's a show about two guys who run a clinic where they perform plastic surgery and it is easily the grossest show I've ever seen. I'm a big fan of ER, which has its fair share of disgusting surgery scenes, but for some reason Nip/Tuck just seemed ten times worse. The worst was when someone had surgery on their eyelids, which was revolting. But there were several other scenes that were gross as well. So I'm not sure I can watch it again, but I might give it a go.

I haven't been home a lot this weekend, but when I have I've been watching the 80s Weekend on VH-1. There has been a ton of good stuff, but the funniest was when they interviewed Billy Squier about MTV and he said that he doubted that it would make much of an impact and added, "There will always be big records with small holes and small records with big holes". Yeah, guess again Billy-boy.
