Germany moves on to the round of 16, playing Sweden on Saturday. I say we’ll beat the Swedish side 2:0.
I finished Douglas Coupland’s JPOD last weekend, and I guess the best way I can describe it is: bland. It didn’t do anything at all for me. Moving right along to the next book… I’m going to take on Jack Welch’s Straight from the Gut, which has been sitting on my bookshelf for way too [...]
This reminds me of some of the conversations I’ve had over the years with various customer service representatives… It’s just unbelievable to which lenghts some companies will push their CSR’s. I read the guy got fired after this little episode.
Phew!! I am exhausted. Germany’s game against Poland was just absolutely nerve-wrecking! Germany scored the winning goal in the 91st minute, seconds before the game ended. I am sure my neighbors were wondering what was going on in my apartment since I was yelling and jumping up and down… What a great finish to an [...]
Why goal keepers hate the new soccer ball used in the World Cup…
OK, so after finishing Dan Brown’s Deception Point last week on the plane ride back to California, I figured I’d also give Digital Fortress a shot, the only Dan Brown book left that I hadn’t read. I finished it today and I must say it’s by far his worst book. It really sucked. The last [...]

Fast-paced, lots of goals… and Germany winning of course :) I just hope the much (and justly) criticized German defense will improve or otherwise we’ll be in for some surprises… Ok, so Wednesday we’ll be playing Poland. I’m thinking Germany will [...]
Ok, I think I’ll have to lock myself into my apartment for the next couple of weeks with a good supply of beer and snacks. There’s plenty of soccer that needs to be watched! My bet for tomorrow’s opening game, Germany vs. Costa Rica: 2:1 I am so excited :)
Some of the people that are closest to me are smokers, and they know how much I hate seeing them pollute their lungs. Not to mention, I can’t stand it when I’m indoors and people around me puff away – those clouds of smoke just annoy the hell out of me. So here’s an interesting [...]
Just returned from Germany, and once again I am in catch-up mode. I think I’m going to spend this coming weekend at home, it’s been months since I last did that. Plus, the soccer world cup is starting this Friday, so I’ll probably want to spend a good amount of time in front of the [...]
