Alrighty…I’ve been waiting for something like this, so I couldn’t resist…a online poker tournament! Nothing special you might say, but this one is for bloggers only…groovy…(hat tip to Jeremy and Patrick, see you at the tables :-) )
I have registered to play in the

:lol:
What a match, after being down 1-0 and 2-1 we were able to level things up at two a piece, which was the result at halftime. After the break we stormed out to a 2-3, 2-4, 2-5, 2-6, 2-7 lead!!!
Then we let the game slip a little once again and they got two goals back 3-7 and 4-7 which is the final result. The crowd really got it’s money’s worth today and we retain first place :-)
Alrighty, I’m back.
Uni stuff:
Fantasy footie:
Not a particularly good week again, but I’m still keeping touch to the top…
FC Marbach II:
I didn’t attend the match vs Hochdorf on sunday due to my exam preparation, but I know the result: FC Marbach II 4-1 SGV Hochdorf :-)
Health:
I picked up a nasty cold sometime last week, so it was hard to concentrate on the exam preparation, the exam itself and all the other tasks. Now that this is all behind me, I’m taking some time off to really get better and it’s paying off already – after the first decent night’s sleep in a while I’m feeling better already, today. God bless medicine :-)
Politics:
It seems that weeks after our general elections the big parties are finally converging into a settlement…maybe we’ll have a new chancellor sooner than we all thought. I’m really curious whether it’s going to be Angela Merkel (CDU) or Gerhard Schroeder (SPD – current chancellor) or a third person (!).
Not a particularly great week for my team and I’m down to position 4… :-(
Maybe it’s time to do some transfers again once I find the time…
Germany 62-78 Greece :-(
Still the second greatest achievement in german Basketball history (after the upset European Championship in 1993). One Nowitzki, who was forced into bad shots all night and still managed to get 23points, just wasn’t enough to defeat a well-rounded greek team effort.
Congrats to them…and see you in Japan for the World Championship 2006!
Not a great match on the horrible pitch of Oberstenfeld, nontheless we had the better chances and could have scored numerous time, but it wasn’t to be.
So there goes the top of the table and we’re playing our next home game next sunday against the new leader:
FC Marbach II (2nd – 10pts) vs. SGV Hochdorf (1st – 12pts)
W00t!!!
Oh my god! Germany just won the semi-final against Spain 74-73! So it’s us against Greece in the finals tomorrow evening!
What a team effort with our brilliant star Dirk Nowitzki!!!
Not a particularly good week for my team with a measly 29 points (best score in our super league 57 points!). Nontheless it was enough to remain on top of the table as the second place manager (Mr. Price himself) scored the identical score (29points) :-)
Another Blogsearch it is then: google.com/blogsearch – like any other new Google feature it’s still in beta…but I’ll give it a whirl now…
Wow! I just had a look at the brand-new Apple iPod nano and I gotta say I’m impressed. As far as I can tell this one should replace the iPod mini and fill the void between the ultra-small iPod shuffle and the standard iPod.
Here’s a pic:
Now I’m really wondering if I should get myself this baby or look out for a bargain on a mini?!
The nano costs 199 Euro (2GB) / 249,01 Euro (4GB) with free delivery and free laser engraving – and you gotta say that it’s just so slim and small and has got a color-display… :-)
More infos on the Apple homepage…
Well, what should I say…they had no chance at all. Our team, stuffed with players from our first team (6 out of the starting 11), was just too much and it was just a mattered of time until we scored – which took quite some time and a lot of wasted chances (43rd minute: 1-0). We went up 2-0 right after the half on a penalty and the rest was cruise mode.
If we continue at this pace we’ll be able to clinch the wanted 20+ points (avoiding relegation) in no time…and if all goes well we might even play for a bid in Kreisliga A…who knows…
Today we elect our new parliament. Off to the voting booth…more about the vote, results etc later on…
For more on the german parliament and the voting process see this WikiPedia entry.
Update: 15 minutes until the polling stations close…there should be some early projections soonish…
Update: First projections (RTL/ZDF)…
So after the first projection none of the usual confederacies have got a majority (“old government” SPD + Gruene = 42%, CDU + FDP = 45%)…let’s see how this evolves…
Update: Here’s a link to the ARD monitor which will keep you updated on the newest projections ARD Wahlmonitor 2005 (You need a flash player for this one)
Update: Latest projection 0:02 locale time
I’m really curious how this whole thing is going to work out…enough election for today…let’s see what tomorrow and the following days bring us…
Oooh yeah! Start spreading the news: Ingoal has clinched the top of the table!
With a brilliant 5th week (with a whoopin score of 34 points) and 166 total points now, I’m the leader of the pack. Haven’t been in that position for such a long time it feels really good to be back. Although it’s still early in the season I’m quite confident now that I can indeed beat Mr. Price this season and win our bet :mrgreen:
Standings after 5 weeks:
It’s been a long time since we last played a board game, especially Age of Mythology (see below), but yesterday we managed to play a round once again. It was the 8th game in total and I managed to finish in second position. The game was decided late (in the last round) again and Nico managed to secure himself the winning points of both “Most buildings” and “Biggest army”.
Final Standings:
Overall winning standings:
Wow, another victory against a good team. After going up 0-2, Murr pull within our reach just before half-time (1-2). 1-3, 1-4 and 2-4 followed which leaves us with our second win in as many matches :mrgreen:
