again came confidence falling funk game good leads played run shooting struggled stuff
We came out in a real funk again and struggled to run our stuff offensively. I have a lot of concerns, especially when we haven't played a good game and we're shooting like we are. Things are not falling into place. One thing leads to another, and then your confidence is shot.
came control expecting papers pressure test verbal
We came out here expecting a lot of verbal in the papers and things being said. If anything they have been under more pressure than us going into this test match.

journeys people
If people didn't read books on the subway, underground journeys would be dreary.
basically
Ah, the intractable Canadian problem: Winter and finery are basically incompatible.
alphabet beasts drawings odd possibly strangest surreal written
Possibly the strangest book ever made, the 'Codex Seraphinianus' is an encyclopedia of an imaginary world, with illegible calligraphy - it is written in an alphabet no one can understand - and surreal drawings of odd beasts and machines.
periods predict
Periods of nostalgia are impossible to predict or explain.
abandon ability access cannot darkest essential exciting good qualities simply whether writers
One of the qualities essential to writing exciting stories, whether for page or screen, is an ability to abandon one's morality. We simply cannot be good writers and good people. One must be able to access one's darkest self, one's venality and pettiness and murderousness.
assert belts coloured male man needs visible yoga
Indeed, the whole point of the man bun, I have surmised, is to assert a high proficiency at yoga. There are no yoga-achievement badges, no coloured belts like judo, so the male yoga expert needs some other kind of visible symbol.
