Hangin' on the World Tree
So with work and the new quarter at school in full swing, I haven't had time to put much into this lately. I'll try and write a big entry tomorrow night, but for now it'll be more World Cup action.
Some things have been going pretty much how I predicted them (for example, Brazil dominating their group, Germany dominating theirs, and no good news for Serbia or Togo). There have, however, been a couple surprises. For one thing, I expected France to do better than Switzerland, but such has not been the way (I'm still thinking South Korea will pull out ahead in that one). But the biggest surprises have been from Group E, which is home to the US, the Czech Republic, Italy, and Ghana. The first two games (Italy/Ghana and CR/US) turned out pretty much how I would have guessed. But the second two were shockers: Italy and the US tied, and Ghana beat the Czech republic! The results there will be seen tomorrow, as the US plays Ghana and the Czechs play the Italians. My predictions are Ghana over US and a tie in the other game. But we shall see.
Since I haven't been able to watch games lately, I invested in a soccer video-type game for the PS2. I also got a collection of the first 8 Mega Man games. Both are most excellent.

What you really need to do is read the book "American Gods" by Neil Gaiman. It's got Odin as a guy who calls himself Wednesday, and a leprechan and shit. Plus a gay genie.
Dude, I read that book. It's awesome. Mr. Nancy is my favorite.
Your job sucks and I don't follow soccer. I don't even CARE that I don't follow soccer. I don't really believe in professional sports.
Take that!
Oh, snap.
I'd like to PLAY some soccer. Spectating is blargity blarg.
