flying pigs and crashing hopes

rowly scores the goal

bad news out of the way first: tomorrow i have to run the gauntlet of all the red sox fans at school. they will jeer me because they are red sox and the yankees lost to cleveland last night and are out of the playoffs. i will stand tall. as tall as a short woman of short russian peasant origin can stand :-)

however ... pigs fly past my windows as i record the joyous news that on 8th october, the anniversary of my youngest sister's birth, queens park rangers finally won a game this season, beating norwich at home 1-0 courtesy of a penalty slotted home by martin rowlands. hurrah. no longer are they the only team without a win in the whole football league! and - supermodel naomi campbell was spotted in the directors' box wearing a qpr scarf and dancing to the pigbag song. the entire occasion was utterly surreal.

in the end, the r's are my true love. and so i rejoice, then turn back to my as-yet-unfinished homework.
