My beloved Chelsea rose to the challenge before them today. Needing a win or draw against hated Liverpool to finish 4th in the league and qualify for the European Champions League next season, they rallied after giving up an early goal to equalize on a Marcel Desailly header and then scored the winner shortly thereafter on a strike by Jesper Grønkjaer. We're still definitely a step behind Manchester United and Arsenal, but we're moving in the right direction. The last time Chelsea were in the Champions League, we made it to the final 8 before being denied a semifinal spot by a furious Barcelona comeback.
V and i headed down to Providence yesterday for lunch with Rob and Roo (and Olive), followed by an early evening showing of X2: X-Men United. That was quite good. I liked the portrayal of Nightcrawler, and the brief appearance of Colossus was great. Plus, Wolverine really got his hands dirty in this one, which is always a thing of beauty. We'll see if The Matrix Reloaded fares so well.
