Gattuso's Family

Here is the most adorable picture. This is Gattuso, his daughter, and his wife. She is Scottish.

Here is a link to the Dolce and Gabbana AC Milan Family Book. It is VERY adorable. (Please ignore traitors- aka Gilardino). http://www.milanfamilybook.com/ Don't feel too bad for the guys at the end who appear without their families. They are not (all) lonely, because I know that at least a few of them are married. "Why," you ask, "do Kaka' and Pato not make appearances?" The answer- Kaka' has strict rules about which Dolce and Gabbana shoots he can appear in because of his contract with Armani or someone. Pato hadn't even been signed when these photos were taken.

Other notes:

Boriello has broken up with the girlfriend in the picture. She was cheating on him.

Maldini's wife is from Venezuala. She is an ex- model.

Please notice that the Maldini's picture is on a couch that resembles a throne.

Seedorf's wife (not pictured) is Brazilian.

Kalac is tall.

Barack Obama... America's president to be. YAY!

This is the Spanish national football (soccer) team after winning Euro-2008. They lifted their ancient coach, Aragones, and bounced him up and down! Hehe!

This is AC Milan's owner, Silvio Berlusconi holding one of Milan's many trophies!

This picture is from this weekend's game, Arsenal v. Liverpool. This is just weird.

Best for last. This is from this weekend's game, Milan v. Udinese. Kaka' in one goal's celebration ran over to the injured Gattuso. He looks like he is wearing a towel as a scarf. They are so awesome!!!

P.S. Christmas is in 3 days. This will be Luca's first Christmas. (For those of you who don't know, Luca is Kaka's son, duh!)

Different Doctor Who Theme Song(s)

Let's see... I was playing T.V. theme songs on my saxophone, and I as I was playing the theme from St. Elsewhere, I began to miss Doctor Who. I decided to go on YouTube and add the "good version" (from 2005-2007 roughly) to my Youtube favorites. However, when I searched "Doctor Who Theme" there were so many versions I just couldn't get the right one! So now, I am going to put up as many versions of the Doctor Who theme as I can find... (on youtube). Enjoy! And P.S. Which do you think is best? You can read more here. And if you must see my "source," I started my search here.


The good one, 2005-2007, Murray Gold-




The dumb new one 2008/2009-



This is a very, very old incarnation of the theme. Eric Winstone and his orchestra...
The 1963-1969 version:



1980-1985- Peter Howell



This one is from the "Jon Pertwee" era (1970ish): I don't like it.



1966-1969 (I can't really see much of a difference between this one and the Eric Winstone and orchestra, but this is Geoff Love and his orchestra:



From 1972



Not quite sure when this is from, called Doctor Who "Theme Orbital"



Dominic Glynn:



The Timelords/ KLF- Doctorin' the Tardis (It's not really the theme... more of a cross between that one sports song- Nah Nah Nah, HEY, Nah Nah Nah Nah, Nah Nah Nah HEY... and doctor who theme...)

Giuseppe Mascara- striker for Calcio Catania

It has been said that Chelsea's Frank Lampard is the football player who most resembles a rodent. With his beady eyes, pointy nose, and large, protruding ears, it is true that Lampard reminds many fans of a large, blue-shirted mouse. However, there may be another player, Catania's Giuseppe Mascara , who looks even more like one. In addition to the beady eyes, pointy nose, and large, protruding ears that Lampard has, Mascara has truly jagged, rat-like teeth. Playing in Sicily for one of Serie A's less well-known teams, Mascara has not attracted the attention that comes from playing in London for one of the world's greatest teams. However, Mascara has had an outstanding season so far this year, and some believe that he may even be called up to the Italian national team.
As for his resemblance to a mouse, you can judge for yourself in the photograph below. Notice, however, that Mascara's shirt is light blue and red, not the deep, royal blue of Chelsea.
