This short entry is dedicated to World Cup which I am gradually becoming infatuated with. I don't know anything about soccer but I am interested in the World soap opera that it has become. I like reading about the dynamics raised between rival nations, rival teams, rival players. So I am trying to figure out what all the fuss is about only just now and so far I'm glad I've come around.
In other news, slightly more newsworthy than "I've finally started paying attention to world's most popular attraction", Magda's friend Ola is coming this evening from Poland. I can't figure out if she's been here before or not, no one is talking. I guess we'll find out tonight. Either way, she's in for a treat setting her lookin balls on Williamsburg for the first time I can tell you. "I've never seen so many, so hip!" She'll say. I overheard two hipster girls, multle-piercings and tatoos, along with vintage purses, talking about this "hipster architect" they knew, I thought they were making fun of him, but then they said, "he's hot" So I guess the word hasn't become deragatory yet. It will. I will see to that.
Okay, Germany vs. Poland today at 3 (ET) in a rematch of the 1939 debacle. Poland looked a bit terrible against Ecuador, but then Ecuador didn't ever invade Poland, like, thirty times. Apparently Germany has done some modern day pilaging though and taken all the most talented Polish players, enticing them with a good deal of cash instead of threat of death.
