I watch a lot of "Digital Foundry" content, and I got a new appreciation for Audi Sorlie listening to this: just in this one video I learned that the guy is from Norway originally, was in the music industry in his teens and twenties, lived in South America speaking Spanish spending a year in a wrestling school and becoming an expert in "luche libre" celebrities, then moved to Japan and became fluent in Japanese.

It's interesting to contrast that with my life: at twelve years old, my plan was to go to university for Computer Science, get married, have kids, and support that family as a professional programmer, working with the same big company for thirty years, then retiring early on a pension and saved funds. It's kind of amazing to me that I had that template at such a young age, and have followed it so precisely-- in fact, I'm exactly half-way through the thirty years now: so far, so good.

In other news, I've seen more than my fair share of dismal Lazio collapses in my many, many years following the club-- but today's loss to Lecce may have been the single worst performance I've yet witnessed, when taking the context into account: the two clubs were more than forty points apart in the table, and had a more than seventy differential in goal difference. Last season, Lazio were pretty terrible-- then electric in the new season with the same players and coach-- now dismal again in this "new" season, once again with the same players and coach. It's inexplicable how the same group can be as hot as Venus, and as cold as Neptune, with zero quantifiable alterations.
