world cup fever
this morning i finally watched a little world cup action as the u.s. team took on germany. i didn't turn on the tv until 35 minutes into the game, but i had a great time watching the soccer action i saw. why haven't i been getting up early and staying up late like everyone else?
i was nervous it wouldn't be much fun because of the nature of the sport - i just don't like watching sporting events when all the action takes place in front of one primary camera. i need close-ups. i want to see the sweat and determination on players' faces. watching a bunch of guys dressed in blue kicking a ball around sounded kind of dull to me. but after 59 minutes of excitement, i have changed my tune. i'm officially hooked!

Posted by: Laura at June 25, 2002 12:08 AMmarc, you're such a poser. you could have been watching all the games with us. then you watch one game (not even in its entirety!) and claim to be enmeshed in some sort of soccer related frenzy? that must have been someone else going to the gym this morning right in the middle of the Brazil/Turkey game then?
how many of your other entries contain such blatant self-serving bullshit? maybe i should start a shadow blog that divests the hidden agendas in each of your entries (right after i finish my column).
ouch!
