This afternoon I’m going to that long-awaited, much anticipated Eels vs. Bulldogs game at ANZ Stadium (which is also where I saw The Police perform in January).

Now, technically the wiring between the ventilator and the external battery isn’t “fixed” per se, but by using some insulating tape, my stepfather has patched things up nicely — nicely enough for me to be able to drive into Homebush and brave the crazy Bulldogs fans (and we all know how crazy they really are, particularly those weirdo face-painters).

Who will win? I’d like to say the Eels, but the chance of there being a riot will decrease with the Bulldogs winning, so maybe I should hope for that instead.

Addendum: TAB odds have Parra to win. I’m packing heat just in case.
