Saturday Night Fever

My Saturday night pretty much consisted of watching television and reading books. It has been a long time since I saw a Tamil movie as they seem to be full of crap these days but the movie on Central was pretty decent but the ending was stupid which consisted of the lead character giving back the $$ to the kidnapper who has clearly been defeated at the end and the $$$ was given so that the kidnappers won't bother him again. What a stupid ending and the kidnapper looks and acts like a clown which is even more that the lead character took the clown more seriously was a joke.

Soccer seems to be pretty standard as Chelsea and Man Utd posted wins over teams which they are expected to win and this season was pretty much shaping up to be a 4 way race and of course, Liverpool choked by losing 3-1 and Rafa is under increasing pressure as he has lost his unbeaten record in EPL but I guess fans are seeing a familiar scenario. Liverpool spends big to get good players, fans get hyped up and talk about the title going to Anfield, Liverpool wins the first few games and convinces their fans that this is their season and they managed to beat big teams but could not beat minnows in their later stages, conceding the title yet again to either Chelsea, Man Utd or Arsenal. I guess there's always next season.

I'm currently reading the Count of Monte Cristo and I'm just halfway through the book having covered some 600 odd pages and this book has been a test of patience as it has been a long time since I read a 1000 page odd book but I guess I got to savour the book slowly before it gets terrifyingly good. I would recommend it for those interested in knowing more about French History and it's a must read for those who love classics.

I'm waiting for my friend to pick me up to go to Chomp Chomp now and I hope time flies. Ciao.
