Burn Our History

End of the fiscal year stuff is nuts. I'm worn out. I feel like I'm trying to get 12 hours of work into an 8 hour day. And I now have 4 people I'm trying to train at certain stuff. It's exhausting.

I hope you have an Agiel to keep them in line.


On a lighter note, how about a little time travel? These 4 players from my favourite handball team liked this trip to the past. Nice dresses, men were gentlemen... Would you like to spend a few days like this?

Remember a couple of weeks ago when I said I was trying to get a (email) interview with that guy from GoT? Well today his agent replied saying it would be best for him to do a phone interview. And the guys in the office want me to do it - cause I'm a GoT/The Borgias nerd, excited is an understatement.

What guy? One of the actors? Do it!

Elyes Gabel. He had a small role as Rakharo (the whip specialist in the Dothraki camp).



He went to a local theatre workshop which I'm currently writing a newspaper article on and he's okay with answering some questions about his time there + his career... .

That's really cool!

I'm really excited but a part of me thinks something will go wrong on the day.

I think it's always that way. You worry and worry until the time comes and then it turns out fine and you wonder what you worried about.

One of the guys who I work with said to think about how fantastic the whole think will go, because even if it doesn't go 100% right it will still be 'great'. Rather than thinking about all the negative things and it becoming that way.

That's a great attitude to have. And, think of this too... he's probably going to be really cool about it even if it doesn't go exactly how you want. And that only makes you a bigger fan sometimes because he was nice about things.

Yay, we won the Cup Winners' Cup again!

Burn Our History

Cool stuff. It's always exciting when your team wins something big.

My football team lost the title last night. So yeah, I wasn't happy .

Was it Manchaster United? I was rooting for them too.
Indeed, and this year it was even harder. We had to go through the 3 best Russian teams, then go up against Viborg, which is one of the top handball teams. We defeated them last year too by scoring more goals in the away match. This time we won both matches in the final. And this was the first time a Hungarian team defeated a Danish team in a cup final. And we're the first team in 13 years (I think) to defend the title.
Our coach's father was the team's coach a few decades ago, he won this cup once, then made it into the final again next year but lost. This time his son won both finals.
And last but not least, a final side note, the girl you can see in the lower left corner of the picture is only 16 years old, and she already has an international cup, scoring 6 goals during the season. Not bad, eh?
(The team captain next to her is only 25, most of our players are young.)

The Hungarian championship season isn't over yet though, we still have to face the best team in the finals at least one more time. They won the first match. But they lost the Champions' League final on Sunday, so maybe we'll be able to catch them at least on home court on Wednesday. One of us has to win two times to become champion.

I hope you don't mind these handball posts, I'm still under the effect of this victory.

Pickle-weasel!

Can our warehouse sale be over yet? I've been so busy.
