I am officially dead old. Yeah, I know I've said that before, but today it's really true. Because, this morning, I was telling MrRuby about how I'd nearly laughed up a kidney at Live at the Apollo last night, and was trying to explain which comedian it was who had performed said inadvertent kidney-ectomy. No lie, these are the words I used:

'It was that kid off of Mock the Week. You know, the blond one, spiky hair, only young?'

It's Russell Howard. He's twenty-fucking-nine. And yet I described him as 'a kid', who's 'only young'. Jesus. I'm becoming one of Harry Enfield's lovely wobbly randy old ladies. I'll get me pension.

This guide should be a help for everybody who is not familiar with installing a S2 layout.

6 ♥ Katekyo Hitman Reborn (tsuna, gokudera, yamaryo, yamamoto, hibari, mukuchrome) from 2010 Calendar.

♥ Watch bishidere for more. MAKE ME HAPPY! =D

Yup, it's the old 'what's on your desktop?' meme again. Only, this time, with a bit of a twist. Because it's been five months since I last did it (when it was this), and I've gone through a few since then. So you get to see them all. Because I know you are all practically dying of curiosity.

( I guess it's no secret to any of us how I feel about you )

So, there you have it. A brief history of wallpaper. What's yours?

You may use this with or without a header (see headerimage on the overrides).
The ideal size for the header is 650 px in width (the layout's width), but should look good with smaller headers too.
I used Malionette's tiny icons generator to make it easier for everyone to customize the tiny icons.

(The first ginger Azzurri! Davide Biondini, breaking barriers one day at a time.)
In a shocking turn of events, Lippi is using the upcoming friendlies to give some new/little-seen players a chance to impress him. Not that we'll ever see any of them called up for a competitive match, of course, but it's still nice to see some less familiar names.

Most of the usual old folks are there, but Candreva and Biondini (!!!!!!!) both got their first senior calls, while Pazzo, Maggio, Galloppa, Marchionni, Palladino, the finally fit Criscito, and Cassani, who's getting only his second call, are all back in the team. Pepe and D'Agostino both got hurt today against Fiorentina, which might explain their absences, while Santon is with the U21s. And, as we know, Cassano is dead to Lippi, which is why he's not there.

Portieri: BUFFON (JUVENTUS), DE SANCTIS (NAPOLI), MARCHETTI (CAGLIARI)

Difensori: BOCCHETTI (GENOA), CANNAVARO (JUVENTUS), CASSANI (PALERMO), CHIELLINI (JUVENTUS), CRISCITO (GENOA), GROSSO (JUVENTUS), LEGROTTAGLIE (JUVENTUS), MAGGIO (NAPOLI), ZAMBROTTA (MILAN)

Centrocampisti: BIONDINI (CAGLIARI), CAMORANESI (JUVENTUS), CANDREVA (LIVORNO), DE ROSSI (ROMA), MONTOLIVO (FIORENTINA), GALLOPPA (PARMA), MARCHIONNI (FIORENTINA), PALOMBO (SAMPDORIA), PIRLO (MILAN)

Attaccanti: DI NATALE (UDINESE), GILARDINO (FIORENTINA), PALLADINO (GENOA), PAZZINI (SAMPDORIA), ROSSI (VILLARREAL)

The team convene on Tuesday, and will play the Netherlands in Pescara on Saturday, and Sweden in Cesena the following Wednesday.

SEMI. FUCKING. FINAL.

Yup. Marco Chiudinelli has made the semi-final of the Swiss Indoor Open. In the town where he was born. To make it even more adorable, his opponent is his childhood friend, who was also born in the very same town. (Unfortunately, said friend's name is Roger Federer. Ah well.)

But, still. He is playing brilliantly. At the end of last year he was ranked 779th. Today's win will have him nudging the top 50. That's pretty damn fucking spectacular, really. I am ever-so-slightly a little bit overcome.

ETA: On the downside, he sounds way too much like Michael Schumacher. This disturbs me immensely.

(Meet Ezequiel Matias Schelotto. He needs to shave.)
For the moment, Casiraghi has stopped calling up infants, and has instead brought Davide Santon back to the U21s, as well as adding two new England-based players: Keeper Vito Mannone, who recently had a run in Arsenal's first team, and Ancelotti's favorite baby, 18-year-old Chelsea striker Fabio Borini. The other debutant is Cesena midfielder Ezequiel Matias Schelotto, the newest addition to the exclusive club of Argentines playing for Italian national teams. (You don't think he meant to call Forestieri up and got his Argies confused, do you?) Macheda, meanwhile, is with the U19s for the start of their Euro qualifying campaign, which is why his name isn't on this list. Edit: He's been called up to replace Alberto, who got hurt this weekend.

Portieri: Fiorillo (Sampdoria), Mannone (Arsenal), Seculin (Fiorentina);
Difensori: Angella (Empoli), Ariaudo (Juventus), Bellusci (Catania) Cremonesi (Cremonese), Brivio (Vicenza), De Silvestri (Fiorentina), Ogbonna (Torino), Ranocchia (Bari), Renzetti (Padova);
Centrocampisti: Barillà (Reggina), Bolzoni (Frosinone), Marrone (Juventus), Mustacchio (Ancona), Poli (Sampdoria), Santon (Inter), Schelotto (Cesena), Soriano (Sampdoria);
Attaccanti: Balotelli (Inter), Borini (Chelsea), Marilungo (Sampdoria), Paloschi (Parma) Macheda (Manchester United).

The team convene on Monday for a couple days of training before flying to Hungary (currently second in the group) ahead of Friday's qualifier. After that, it's off to Luxembourg -- the only team the Azzurrini have beaten thus far -- for a match on Tuesday.
