On my way to don memo for argentia vs mexico

Tabu closed so going to fadó

Brauhaus schmidtz was wonderful, but too much for me. Going to tabu for second half.

So at least uruguay vs ghana will be a battle of amazing uniforms

A solid if tragic showing. I guess they get the satisfaction of having played the better game. without the goals it doesn't really matter

I'm going to talk this up to my Taeguk Warrior's strategy to lull the other team into a false sense of security.

On the train shell game gambling is an amazing transport back to the 1940s that I can't believe still happens.

Music City Karaoke said they would open Saturday at 10 am for the South Korea vs Uruguay game if we had a large enough group. Any takers?

Taking a post-apocolyptic walk home b/c I'm going 10x faster than the bus. I've never seen storm wreckage like this.

The storm takes out the game right at the thrilling conclusion

County council scores on the union soccer team. No windows broken.

I love work sports pep rallies.

I thought the new el was supposed to have more crossovers when a train stops on the track. Maybe 20 minutes isn't that long to be stuck, but still annoying.

Transit debacle means almost 2 hours from west phila to work... then an hour work followed by an hour transit home. Then relax in the sauna

My underdogs finally won! Too bad they are Aryan underdogs over an African team. That tempers my joy a bit.

The dutch are too tall to sit on bar stools in front of the tv. Save those seats for the japanese fans.

Rittenhouse square at 6:45 on a Saturday morning before they do a sweep of the benches to ready it for the monied class.

On my way to get the bus to fado to watch holland vs japan, I remembered that I lost my transpass last night. Can't wait for fare upgrade

Friday, June 18, 2010

When you are retracing a lost transpass, every piece of trash offers hope.

Yay greece! If only i'd taken the afternoon off & updated my office pool prediction. I hate it when my heart doesn't match my choices

Rough loss, but showed some spirit is the second half. Oh well. There is still a chance for qualification. Go greece

Well now it would be a stunning upset for sure.

A very close near miss. there is still hope

Overconfidence is capitalized upon. Let's allow them to be overconfident again.

So the game has started. There are 5 korean fans, but the argentines are obviously more popular. Come to fado on your way to work

Wednesday, June 16, 2010

So everyone should be at fado at 7am tomorrow to root on south korea or perhaps argentina (if you're a yankees fan)!

Rita's has both a peeps and a swedish fish flavor this season... sadly I'm tempted by both.

North korea got a point... first emotion from the coach and very loud cheers at the german bar.

The glorious leader has been well served by the first half of the match.

On my way to brauhaus schmitz to see brazil battle North Korea at 2:30. Please join if you can!

A convenient case of insomnia will allow me to catch the brazil versus north korea match this afternoon w/o taking much time off work.

The spring mix is done... let me know if you want it... or my fall2009/winter 2010 mix for that matter

Should I stick with an extremely frustrating situation or walk away?

Guess who stabbed themselves in the eye with a houseplant this morning? At least it is funny pain

Surprise super express train! 1st stop 40th street. I wish they did these more often.

Friday, June 04, 2010

Tried to help clueless, rude Phillies fans waiting for a train that wasn't coming, only to be told I'd *better* not be messing w/ them.

Does anyone want to get in on my office World Cup pool? $5 for the whole shebang online, so it is cheap, fun, & mobile.

Plans to see the sun rise over the skyline foiled by summer haze, but my 1st morning run: http://ping.fm/OV4Hc

I woke up early so I could jog before work, but the sun isn't even up yet.
