Bloodbowl Update

Apparently I have to start this post with a quick message from Suzy. "Bloodbowl is for stupid heads". And this from someone with a Masters in English...

I headed up to Blacktown today for the latest game in the Nuffles Toxic League,
playing a human team with my now trademark Necros. I've done very well so far in the league, with five wins in a row and another today (the human coach had a shocker, 1 all at half time, 4 - 1 to me by the end of the game, with two dead humans). It has been fun, even if the Commish is a bit... inflexible. But then, in my experience they often are.

I've also just gotten the bad news that Powerfist, an upcoming Bloodbowl tournament in Melbourne, has been cancelled (I love that I've paid for entry, and the company running the event hasn't bothered to inform me that it's been cancelled, even if they haven't charged my card yet). I was really looking forward to going up, but I guess now my next tournament will be CanCon in January. Apparently a few of the guys are running a tournament at the start of December, but considering the fact that I'll be getting married just a few days before, I suspect I won't be gracing them with my presence (if I know what's good for me!)

Can I also say that I am getting pissed off with Idol this year? I've just watched the first three performances, and the first guy (hideously-ugly-bobby as I like to call him) kept singing out of tune and then gets nothing but praise from the judges. Meanwhile another one of the admittedly sub-par contestants does a pretty effort with "No More Lonely Nights" and the first thing he gets is "ooo maybe I'm not sure but I think maybe just for the first second there you were ever so slightly out of tune". It is such crap seeing them with their blatant favouritism, watching their pets go through no matter what they do while other people really giving it a crack get panned for the slightest discrepancy. Bah I say, Bah!

Speaking of seemingly intentially awful music, I saw the "single" on VideoHits this morning for BoyTown (the mature age boyband from the new aussie movie of the same name), extremely funny seeing Mick Molloy and Bob Franklin etc doing all the boyband moves! If I get a chance, must go see it, should be a window to the future when N*Sync, Five and all the rest start reforming in a last desperate cash-grab before they all go broke.
