That was the dirtiest game I’ve ever seen (soccer-wise). I’m so glad Portugal hung on to win in spite of bad calls, injuries, and being outsized by the giants from the north. I’ve never seen the Netherlands play but they played the dirtiest, most unsportsmanlike game I’ve ever seen. They didn’t deserve to win [...]
This has been the best day off in a long time. Two great World Cup games (PORT v. MEX and ARG v. NED) have made for entertainment. Fork supplies a great lunch (duck confit salad and an almond tart with some Spanish rose’ wine), and I’ve found a spa for great massages. I also shopped [...]
What a mess.
The only USA goal was scored by an Italian as an own goal. Where was Francesco Totti? I was looking forward to seeing him. Three people got tossed out so by the end of the game, people were too exhausted to play well. In football, if someone gets tossed, you can’t replace him. [...]

I had been looking forward to the Snow Patrol concert that was supposed to be tomorrow night, but today I got an e-mail from Ticketmaster saying the show’s been postponed until the 26th because the singer’s sick. Singers aren’t supposed to get sick! I haven’t been to a show since last August’s Coldplay show in [...]
What I feared has come to pass.
I signed up for NetFlix on recommendation from a coworker, as an alternative away from boring cable programming, in hopes I may be able to cancel my Comcast bill (between iTunes and NetFlix, who needs cable?). There was always a doubt in my mind, though. It wasn’t NetFlix [...]
