Man's Team Sabre - semi-final
Aug. 19th, 2004 01:08 pmFrance won! Dammit that was so fucking close and so bloody stressful! And this has nothing to do with anything but Lee made us laugh - we didn't realise people actually needed sunglasses in the gymnasium [/sarcasm] Unless they are regular glasses tainted in blue only, of course. That would be a first in this sport because contact lenses are easier but hey why not.
Anyway, they were quite good and I honestly worried we wouldn't win and really, lose against the US in sabre of all sports? No.way! Imagine the level of 'stress' when Damien Touya hurt his hand right before the very last point. It wasn't Smart's fault though, the risks of the sport, but damn, that was tough all right *chews lower lip in remembrance*
But then, Damien decided to come back to make the last point and we won - woohoo!
We'll have a beautiful final now : Italia vs France. That's what Gian-Lu' and I wanted, so we're happy campers *g*
Yeah okay *cough*
Back to LJ land now *g* I'm still reading the comments sent for my last post, and seriously? Those comments are practically as hot as any actual fics, pfew - you're good, all of you. Not that I had any doubt, mind you *eg* Methinks I should ask questions like on a regular basis, because those threads? Are the best *licks lips*
On a different note, only not totally since I'm going back to Jack/Daniel in a way : I went to the mall yesterday night with The Esu and I decided I needed some err Happy therapy, so know what? I bought two SG S7 box sets *beaming* The first and the third one, they have my favourite episodes and even though I received some money from the state --long story and I don't know all the equivalent in English, so you'll be spared the details-- I didn't want to spend everything thank you very much, so the last one will be for another day *nod*
I also let the fancy box set on the shelf because re : what I just said. I'm so happy with my last purchase - S7! Season7!Daniel is too good for words, and it's been some time since I last bought SG DVDs anyway, so there *g*
Hey, I saw that the Slash Advent Calendar is already taking submissions? Man I'm torn :
On one hand :
- I suck at deadlines.
- I suck at challenges.
- The fic I wrote for last year's SAC is the worst story I've ever written, as in I disliked it so much that I never even archived it at my site - and considering I'm not one of those writers who always diss their work, you can trust me on that one.
- I didn't like the idea of the 4152 passwords that were decided for the SAC archive.
On the other hand :
- Maybe I should try to de-traumatise myself concerning this challenge and actually write something good in order to make me forget about last year's fiasco?
Yeah, I'm still not convinced as you can see lol
And to end this post on a 100% random note. I saw the preview for next week's Without a Trace and I saw Christopher Gorham, aka Jake Foley in Jake 2.0. I love me some nice guest stars *g*
That's all *waves* Aren't you glad lol
