the weekend
saterday: eric challenged me to one up his meatballs, so i gave it a whirl. in the process i nearly burnt down the kitchen with a oily inferno that spilled all over the stove giving me blistering burns on my right hand as i tried to save the last batch of meaty morsels from the smoking pot with my chopsticks. from now on im leaving the oil and the meat to the italians and sticking to rice beans and vegtables and other less violent foods.
later that night i enjoyed a good natured "football" game in which there were more red cards handed out in the first half than in the entire world cup so far, an american recieved a blood drawing elbow to the nose, and we tied one to one thanks to the goal that italy made on themselves. luckily, after the game we were all able to whipe off our patriotic facepaint, put our differences aside, kiss and polish of a crate of beer.
sunday: went to kati's braziallian cousin's gottingen penthouse which had a full on movie theater downstairs and a huge patio, both filled with yellow and green clad singing, sambaing brazillians all of whom burst out of the house and into the streets when they defeated australlia 2 to 0. during the after party i got to practice my german with tri lingual southamericans. who says learning cant be fun?
