Dammit, United! Way to bottle it!

4 points in 4 games after being 8 points clear, 0 attempts on target today. What.the.fuck?! Not a great way to start my week in Orlando!

I could understand Sir Alex Ferguson's choice to fight for a draw instead of gunning for a win, although I disagreed with it. Manchester United is not a team to defend. I know Ji Sung Park is the big-match player, but he hasn't played in a while; I honestly don't understand why he started ahead of Antonio Valencia or Ashley Young, both of whom have played well lately. Ryan Giggs, I believe, was chosen for his experience; but let's face it, as much as I love Giggsy, he hasn't played well this season. Even though I'd really hate to see him retire, this season has shown that he's probably past it.

Going 1-0 down right before half time is never good. But I thought it would be a wake up call for Fergie to change things up, that we'd be better off trying to score goals instead of preventing more in. Fergie being Fergie, he kept his team at half time.

But the 0 attempts on target throughout the whole match (with 5 off target) is the one that got me. It's like we weren't even trying. What the fuck, United?! Now City is on their way to the title, and we're left with absolutely nothing for the season. I know this would happen sooner or later, but I just didn't think that it would happen in the hands of City.

I know that mathematically, we still have a chance, so I'll keep this tiny hope until it's really over. But really, we need to bounce back next season. We really need an experienced midfielder, a good right back, someone to challenge Evra, and a good partner for Rooney. But I'd settle for a good midfielder for the summer.

What the fuck was that United?!

We had a 4-2 lead, with 20 minutes to go, fingers on the trophy, and we just let everything slip away. I probably should try to cool down a bit before posting this, but I can't help it. I just need to... AHHHHH!! I really want to throw something out the window. Just like United did the trophy. For fuck's sake! 2 goals cushion, at home, last stretch of the title race, and we blew it with terrible defending!

Momentum's going City's way now. We must win at Etihad next week to win this. City's superior goal difference mean that if we lose, City have to drop points for us to have a chance; and I don't like that our title might have to depend on that. A draw would be a good enough result for us, giving us a 3 points lead with 2 games to go. A win at home against Swansea the next week and not losing away at Sunderland will win it for us.

Seriously, United! You're supposed to be good at this!

Felicia Day and Chris Hardwick hangout

I think I was at work when it happened live so I missed it, and actually forgot about it until it showed up on my YouTube subscription list!

I should go into Astrophysics

I've been listening to Neil deGrasse Tyson's Star Talk Radio podcast, and my interest in the field has definitely grown. I'm actually considering going to grad school in Astrophysics; seems way more interesting than Computer Science. But Astrophysics is a research field and I'm not sure I have the drive/passion/persistence to go through with it.

In any case, I've always had some interest in the field; I did take 2 semesters of Astrophysics in senior year. But I have learned a whole lot just from listening to a few episodes of the podcast. I actually remember some of the things I learned from those college courses (I know, it was only 1-2 years ago).

The only thing that annoys me about this podcast is Neil's co-host, Lynne Koplitz. For some reason, she just annoys me. I know she's a comedienne so she's there to throw in some funny quips, but I don't think she adds anything to the show. Neil is plenty funny on his own. Even other comedians who have been a guest or a guest co-host on the show are funnier and/or better suited for the topics at hand. I always enjoy the episode more when she's not there.

I can't decide...

If I should be polite, or be "a friend" and stop someone being an annoying, ungrateful prick. :| I'd normally ignore things like this, but this time it's happening too close to me and it ruins my mornings.

No trophy presentation at Etihad

The Premier League has announced that, if Manchester United wins their 20th league title at their neighbor's ground, they will not hold the trophy presentation at Etihad. Instead, the trophy will be presented the following week, after the match against Swansea at Old Trafford, as they prefer to present the trophy at home.

The trophy at its home, Old Trafford

It sure would be sweet to stomp on the bitter rival's turf and celebrate our superiority there, but I do agree with the League in that I prefer trophy presentations to be held at home. I want to watch the players celebrating at Old Trafford, in front of ~70,000 fans, instead of ~2,600 fans at Etihad. Plus, Old Trafford just looks better than Etihad. ;)

Google is winning best April Fools' gag

I know it's still early in the day, and I haven't been around the Internet long enough to take in everything, but Google is doing a really good job. Especially with their 8-bit Maps for NES. They also have a bunch of hidden gems (thanks to Reddit's kane2742).

Reddit has a TARDIS

Last night, Reddit announced reddit timeline™ on their blog. If you click on the TARDIS, it'll take you to a random time; much like the TARDIS often does.

I particularly love all the Doctor Who references everywhere. I like that Reddit chose the TARDIS as their time machine of choice. Even Reddit's blogpost was tagged "timelords" – which I guess we all are, now we can travel in (reddit) time.

A lot of people seem to hate it. I, for one, am really enjoying this. I know it's just an April Fools gag, but I kinda hope it stays. Or at least give the users an option to have it, so those who don't want them don't have to suffer.
