auf wiederschern, deutschland..
Been putting this off for too long (cos i'm a terribly lazy person). So. Updates! =)
1. Been following the World Cup very VERY closely. Was totally over the moon when Germany trashed Argentina in the quarter-finals. Had never been on such a high over a world cup game. I guess it was the euphoria of seeing an eww-y team like Argentina get kicked out, and maradona's face (hate that guy). Also garnered a minor crush on Schweinsteiger, Podolski, Mueller and Oezil *sheepish grin* and discovered that the german football team has their own slash fandom in the likes of Schweinski - Schweinsteiger + Podolski. O_O Though real-person-football slash is really rather disturbing to even consider. So i shall, um, leave that alone. O_O
2. Then Germany loses to Spain in the semis. ARRRGH. IT WAS SO CLOSE!!! Still so sore about it! Granted Germany was too cautious, and not their usual self, which makes it worse actually. And that STUPID OCTOPUS. For those coming into the World Cup mania late, Paul the octopus is this stupid german octopus in some bar that has so far predicted every single germany game in this world cup accurately. Yes, including the spain win. It's almost hilarious when you think about how much hate/love one stupid octopus can generate. Though of course now it's more hate than love. Personally i'm looking for some octopus to murder eat. I'm sure for the next few days, octopus will be the menu favourites at restaurants. The distraught german fans though, have started singing Anti-Octopus songs. Yep, you heard that right. O_o Anti-Octopus songs! ROFL. I'm still looking for a video. Will be back when I find one. XD The best comment of the day, though, comes from darling starlighter , "I BELIEVE HE SHOULD NOT BITE THE HANDS THAT FEED HIM!' which sent me into fits of laughter after reading it. ROFL.
Anyway. germany better win uruguay now. Or i'll be PISSED. *rawr*
3. *ahem* world cup mania aside, it's been raining here. EVERY DAY. And NON-STOP. O_O I mean i like rain in copious amounts, but not when i have to wake up early in the morning to drive to work, and not when the rain floods out the highways. O_O Had my first taste of flooded -highway-traffic the other day. It was not fun. >.< And it's still raining! lordy. And the other day a cement truck fell over and dumped cement on the roads, so i had to take a detour in the rain which took an hour. Driving in houston really makes me appreciate public transport. At least i'm not wasting my time sitting in the car and not being able to do anything...
4. work sucks. big time. new boss now, new dynamic, but this dynamic in particular is really weird so i'm still trying to get my head around it. Also getting flooded with more work, and for the first time i'm starting to feel really stressed out O_O That i'm now the only female in my dept after my boss left isn't really helping either :( Miss home!
5. Been listening to alot of new music recently. Music recs to follow, when i have some time after the world cup to write something down.
Ok i suck at updates. Gomen =_= i think i should have renamed this a world cup post instead. XD
