Patrick's Diary - 1/16/2016

I just took a shower and as planned, to catch up my diary for Yesterday and Today before pressuring the shirts, oh, I need to turn washer on now...

One follower on Twitter reminded me through direct message that I not update my blog. I am happy that people read my diaries, otherwise I would not publish here publically. 

It's been a wonderful sports' weekend. I woke up at 5:00 am on Saturday morning and started watching the first televised BPL match Tottenham hosting Sunderland. Though Sunderland scored first, Tottenham crashed them at the end. Do commentators speak in Russian in the video clip I found on Youtube? Tottenham dominated the entire match.
The following one was Manchester City playing Crystal Palace. City managed to crash the rival too. They amazingly scored two of the four goals through beautiful teamwork, however, it might not be necessary in other occasions. I know why they did it. This clip is in English. 
The third one was more competitive. Leicester's Japanese striker scored the goal first but Aston Villa equalized at the end. A draw doesn't help Villa much because they are staying at the bottom. 
I negotiated with my parents that we would have lunch after 1:00 pm so that I could go to gym to work out first. It might be because I didn't eat lunch, it's very easy to get me totally soaked by sweat after only half an hour on treadmill. After biking for 20 minutes, I had become exhausted before weightlifting.
On my way home, I appreciated the sunny sky, though it was still somewhat chilly at midday in winter. 
7-11 at the corner of the intersection before I turned right onto North Road to home is the most convenient station for me to pump gas and buy foods. I also go to Shell and 76 sometimes as well. I grabbed four big cans of different brands of beer, two for Saturday and two for Sunday. However, all four pumps were being used, so I drove away without pumping the gas.
New England led Kansas City to the end of the game without much drama. They would advance to AFC Final to be held on next Sunday. Whom and where they were going to play would depend on the result of another game between Denver and Pittsburgh.
Arizona hosting Green Bay was more dramatic. Cardinals were behind for quite a long time until the last quarter. However, Rodgers threw a Hail Mary Pass as he had done in a regular season game with Detroit again. No matter whether was it a set up, this beautiful throw pushed the game into overtime. Fitzgerald killed Packers' hope by running 75 yards in the first play into their Red Zone, then made a rushing TD by himself to close the game. Arizona would play the winner of another NFC divisional playoff, either travel to Charlotte to play Carolina or stay at home to face Seattle. 
It might be because of a relaxed Saturday, I still had energy to watch an interesting movie before falling into sleep. Unfinished Business was a good movie I recommend you to watch. 
This clip reminds me when we be stuck on Autobahn near Hamburg in last July. The traffic report on radio was in German but GPS I used on my cell was in English.
