Weekly Rundown and World Cup 2010 randomness

  • Ke nako! It is indeed time for the World Cup. ESPN3 is streaming the games live in case you want to watch the game while in the office.
  • This weekend is definitely looking to be one of my fav weekends. Soccer, F1 racing, friends graduating and graduation parties.
  • We have the librarian edition this week. I ran into her while she was out running a few days ago. I go walking where she runs. Suffice it to say it was a nice surprise and we had a nice chat the following day. She actually lives 2 train stops from where I do. We have finally made it to the we should hang out sometime conversation.
  • As someone who's worked in tech support I got quite a kick out of the clip of a woman who called tech support to ask how she could disable Google Pacman. You have to admire the tech support guy for keeping his cool.
World Cup randomness
  • RSA 1 - Mexico 1 in my humble opinion Mexico won this one. France 0 - Uruguay 0; France should have done better. My brackets are still intact so no harm done.
  • Who caught the kickoff concert? Awesome performances all around with a special shout out to Hugh Masekela and Shakira. That woman's hips do not lie... neither do her abs.
  • Brenda Fassie is turning in her grave. The Alicia Keys / blk jks rendition of Too Late For Mama was a crime against humanity. I would have given them both red cards for the infraction.
  • The concert is done, the teams are asleep, tonight as we lay down, we pray the good Lord our brackets will keep. - Well our brackets and the health of the players.
  • Desmond Tutu was seriously stoked about the games. Ain't never seen a retired archbishop that happy. Looked like he would take off & fly at any moment.
  • And condolences to Madiba's family on the loss of the man's great grand daughter.
