Re: World Cup Final. Is it possible that the pressure of getting name-checked by Goulash drove Zinedine Zidane to the brink of insanity? That's the only possible explanation. All through regulation, he played well, scoring a goal. Then at the start of overtime, he clearly thought to himself, "Alright, Cody expects some magic," and so he immediately pulled a George "The Animal" Steele on some poor Italian fellow. Will I apologize for this? No. Whether the media believes it or not, I have no control over who Zidane headbutts. If I did, the members of my fantasy baseball league would all have massive head trauma.
I was rooting for France, though, for a few reasons. First, many lunatic conservatives dislike France (see this proud moment in Congressional history); I try to oppose these people as much as possible. Second, I've always thought that if my cat were a nationality, she'd be French. I can see her on the Left Bank, hurling some merlot at a waitress and musing, "Ahh Sartre, you're the only one who gets me." I can't really think up a third reason. Anyway, they lost, and I was as crushed as I could possibly be, considering I'd only chosen my team the day before.
Re: Travel. Next week, I'll be hitting up a little place you might've heard of, the Windy City. I'm going to Architecture and Design World, aka Sexy Lady Fest '06. If anyone has any recommendations for spots to hit, please let me know. Wrigley Field and Buddy Guy's club are on the list; nothing else is so far.
Re: Save me from my own nerdiness. If you've been frantically searching for a way to quickly prototype classes and unit tests in C#, today is your lucky day. If you haven't been fratically searching for that, then today is just another disappointment. Cheer up, slugger.
