Uruguay 1 - Australia 0

Jimmy Weasel - Saturday, 12 November 2005 - 23:10:18 - print it raw

Frustrating. This was the nature of today's game. Once again facing Uruguay in a World Cup Qualifier, the Socceroos were lucky to escape only one goal down. Not as good as a draw or even a win, but it could have been far worse. Despite appearing to dominate in the first half, Australia's control slipped later on, with possession frequently stripped due to passing flaws and what seemed like a complacent attitude towards the game. The Uruguayans did play as the feisty bunch of hot-heads as predicted in the buildup - spending a lot of time on the ground rolling around in the pseudo-agony encouraged by their crowd. With any luck science can one day find a cure for the myotonia they seem to suffer when confronted by the Australian defence.

Wednesday 7pm Sydney time, we shall see who progresses.

Red Riding Trilogy
This is an attempt to understand the newish British television series Red Riding. Due to the regional accents, the muttering, the byzantine plot, and that British inability to provide subtitles, I am writing a detailed synopsis to get my head around this excellent television show. In short, it is nothing but spoilers, spoilers, spoilers...
Kitchen Antics - Chicken in Faux Ragoƻt
Ladder of flavour? A few rungs above bland. This can be constructed & delivered in less than 30 minutes, depending on your aptitude with a knife.
Lassitude abandons the Throwing Knives
Down on the chamber pot, the percolating smells brew up quite the nasal fest. From the wafting fumes, the air solidifies partial sweaty rock and musty punk, a taste hinting at delicious pockets of after-aftertaste, and the not so floral punch of an undone music interview leaves the tongue wanting something else.

Every detail makes the story worth following somewhere. Cooking up microfiction and life lessons as we review film, music, books, theatre and other aspects of culture.
It's all intrigue and conspiracy.
