The World Cup is well under way. There have been a lot of exciting games and many unexpected results. I'm doing okay in the pool I'm in, maybe not winning, but not too far behind. I have seen several of the games at the Brewhouse, starting with the Germany vs Costa Rica on Friday. Tim and I went to see the USA vs Czech Republic game on Monday, but the Brewhouse was so packed that the cutting on of the AC caused circuits to break, causing much upsetness. So I watched the second half from home. My initial thoughts having seen all the teams once: Czech Republic looks good, Spain looks good, Brazil looked a little lacking, but definitely capable. German showed a lot of weakness, even in their wins. England looked unsettled. The US looked awful.

Other than the World Cup, I saw Pig on Friday night with John after the soccer. I failed to see Arctic Monkeys and We Are Scientists after Saturday's games. I went to Anne's going away party on Sunday night after those games. Monday night I got an early night. Tuesday I had a later night. Neither night did I sleep very well, though, even though I was crazy tired. Tonight I'm supposed to have an early night since I have a very early start tomorrow, to go to Augusta for software training.
