odds and ends

I did make a post about Barça Femenino over at _fcbarcelona_, if anyone would like to check it out! I want to get some more stuff translated and find more pictures before I post to my journal, though.

I don't think I ever mentioned that I was reccing Barça fic for crack_van last month, did I? well, anyway, those recs are up too under the rpf: professional athlete tag if you want to take a look. I don't think there's anything in there that I haven't recced in some capacity before, but still. (just, um, ignore any recs in that tag that aren't by me. or don't, feel free to check them out! but they're not my endorsements, so I take zero responsibility for them.)

still thinking about creating a vids section to the football rec post. I don't know. there's not that many half-decent vids out there, and I have most of them saved to my computer, so it wouldn't be hard, it's just that I can't be objective and I'm not sure if that matters. I'll read fic about people I don't know; I'll read fic about people I hate. I really can't watch vids of them. (and I will watch really terrible vids of people I love. case in point: you have no idea how many times I have watched that.)

speaking of things I hate: look, as a general rule I don't hate teams. for the most part I try not to care about teams other than my own one way or the other. I'll root for the underdog against Bayern Munich or Manchester United (and when they drop points my teams are safer, so there's that too), but I don't hate them. there are players that I like on both teams. and yes, I sure as hell hate Madrid, but not because they're Barcelona's rival and cules are supposed to blindly despise them; I hate them because they stepped on Leo and shoved Puyi in the face and tried to break Cesc's leg and point-blank accused Pep of cheating to win the Champions League and have never been the least bit sorry for any of it. (and their president is an idiot, but you can't really hold that against anyone.) but it really has reached the point where I hate Liverpool. I hate them, I hope they lose every game they play, and unless they ship Luis Suarez out to Russia I will never respect them again. I would rather they lose to Manchester United than win.

I know some of you guys are Liverpool fans, and I do get that. if you can look past the bad stuff and still love the good stuff, that's your prerogative; everybody does that to some extent or another with their team. yes, Lucas Leiva is adorable. the academy kids are cute. Steven Gerrard's life is a beautiful tragedy. but none of that will ever make up for the utter bullshit that has come out of that club this season to me, so I'm sorry, but I hope they never win again.
