a sporting event for the people...

...30 billion people! hells yes, i am ready for some futbol! i don't even know why i'm so into the world cup. maybe it's mi novia internacional, maybe it's my emergence as a citizen of the world (look it up!), maybe it's the fact that my combined interest in the nhl finals, nba finals, and midseason baseball is roughly the same as my interest in america's got talent (that's none, smartass). whatever the reason, this tournament is gonna rock me sooo hard.

i just wish i could watch the games at work. usa's first match is on monday afternoon, and the odds that i can duck out and go down some frosty american beer in celebration are pretty slim. the bbc is streaming them on the interwebs, but slashdot sez that the sheer number of people trying to watch might cause the whole thing to come crashing down around our ears, bringing death and destruction, and the end of civilization. if that happens, then the terrorists have already won.
