doing my essay while watching gus play soccer. a moment where old and young men come together to play the beautiful game amidst hokkien cursing, swearing, the need to protect masculinity... the saddest man on the pitch is the referee. no matter what he does, somebody will yell at him and call him stupid. i always feel bad for the ref, especially if he is old. if you are just meeting a boy and you want to see his true colours, put him on a soccer field with a dirty opponent and a lousy referee.

a mother is using the hood of her son's hoodie to wipe his hair. while he wears the hoodie. part of me sees it as quite innovative, but i think on the whole it's pretty gross
