Allow me to fanboy a moment.
The United States men's national soccer team beat Spain's men's national soccer team in the knockout stages of a major FIFA tournament yesterday. Beat them convincingly and definitively. It wasn't luck, they weren't looking past us. We were the better team yesterday. The final score was 2-0. Or as we say in America, two-nothing.
Joy.

Big Bang Theory
Okay, some of you on my list enjoy this show. I've just gotten into it recently, so I have a question for you longer-tenured fans.
Sara Gilbert: did you enjoy her character as much as I did or is it just me still digging her from Roseanne?
I really enjoyed that bit. Sara Gilbert makes everything better. -
OMG, I'm so excited. It's a reality show I actually watch! *flails*
Yeah, we'll go with excited.
It's "Next Food Network Star". Now, it's Food Network, not Bravo or A&E or whatever, so you'd think it's about food, right? *facepalm*
No, it's about the personalities. And it seems to be even more about the personalities this season. They were dishing on each other in the intros. Hopefully it won't suck this year. The ( Read more... ) -

A number of fic recs that are in the HP-verse (and a smaller number that aren't)
Hooray for Honda. Great meme, and it allows us to pimp some of our favorite fanfiction from other-than-HP fandoms. Personally, I only ever read two: HP and Daria, but here goes.

Going out to eat in my nation's capital
Yeah, so I spent an hour and a half trying to figure out where to eat tonight. It's the last of my nine nights in Washington (spread out over four weeks), and I had yet to really go foodie in this big foodie town. Tonight? Well, I'm always up for adventure, and there's a cuisine I have no familiarity with whatsoever, so here goes: Ethiopian. There' ( Read more... ) -
Meme from Suzanne. 'Cause she's cool.
The idea is to have a character assigned and then be asked several questions about that character. Suzanne rocks, so she gave me Tonks.
1. Do you like this character?
Adore this character. She's one of my favorite in canon. What's not to like about a mood-hair sporting, death-eater ass-kicking hottie, anyway?
2. What name/s do you call this character?

Reason # 872,964 to miss the hell out of living in California
Back in Cali, Champions League matches started at 11:30; right in time to take a nice long lunch. Here on the East Coast: 2:30. Just in time to surreptitiously put a lame-ass matchtracker underneath a spreadsheet every time you hear someone walking near your cubicle.
