Today is a day worthy of documentation because of my performance with my after-work social soccer team.
I scored a goal. That's right. A real live actual goal. Despite my lack of skill or experience, I successfully kicked the ball through the net resulting in a point for my team. Those are the rules.
I'd like to thank my super-endurance for helping me run around aimlessly all game without tiring. It was a fantastic moment.
It wasn't as great of an accomplishment as my
4 run game in IM softball, but I gotta tell you, it felt pretty good doing the airplane celebration for the first time.
Not to mention I now get to join the small fraternity of people at work who have scored goals at our after work social soccer games.
And, I have some more awesome reviews to share with the world.
Coldplay -
Viva La Vida:
To be honest, I didn't want to like this album. First of all, it has a lot of hype, and I am anti-stuff that is popular. Also, as purported in 40 Year Old Virgin, liking Coldplay means your gay (not that there's anything wrong with that). So when I first started listening, I thought "Eh, this sucks." But after listening like 3-4 times through, I love this album. Sure it's overproduced. By that I mean you can't replicate this music in your garage. You need computers and synthesizers and the like. And sure the lyrics are a bit cheesy at times. But they're digestible. And all in all, this music is just enjoyable. Very much so.
Grade: A
Standout Track: Strawberry Swing
Hot Chip -
Made In The Dark:
I usually don't like techno/dance music. Because it's usually just one sentence repeated over and over in a catchy way. But, although this album does that, it does it so damn well.
Grade: A-
Standout Track: Ready For The Floor
