WC Quarterfinals and more...
Hope everyone has been enjoying the WC, so many great matches, but we are now down to the final eight teams! Netherlands played horribly against Portugal, I was so disappointed with their performance; for the rest of the day, I was in the worst mood. Good news is I won the office pool for the Quarterfinal matches, so I now have some extra cash for the weekend...
WC is so exciting... so many great matches. I got this adaptar that goes in the USB port, which makes a laptop or computer receive TV signal, so I've been taking my laptop to work and enjoying the matches... hehehe. It's so perfect... I always have MS Excel running in the background, just in case someone important walks by (supposedly we can't have TVs in the office, though a few sneaky people do have them). You gotta do what you gotta do...
Sorry friends that your teams got eliminated: USA (Gray, Jack, Felicia, Will, Lee, Ethan, Shawn), Mexico (Daniel, Salomon), Japan (Eri), Ecuador (Alan, Andrea), Sweden (Margit), T & T (Drew), and India (err, actually, Mickey B and Karthik don't care about sports, plus India didn't make it to the WC). Congrats to Italy (Kate), Germany (Jack, Rob) and Brazil (Sungi) for making it this far... Brazil to me is the clear favorite, so we'll see if they can live up to expectations.
On other non sport news, I hear that ARC is going through some changes and that things are turning less and lees pro-chapter... Wonder what Pam would think about this... oh, chapterland!
As far as dating goes, this couple my friend knows just broke up, and I've talked to the girl a couple of times and sorta like her, so I'm trying to get setup over there... When I talked to my friend and asked for the number, she said she wanted to wait a little while before setting me up, since she thought it was a little too soon (about four weeks, seems about right to me, don't you think?).
My brother just came back from Cancun... He drove there with some friends (took about a day and a half to get there) and went crazy for about a week. He came back on Sunday with no voice, extremely tired and a tan (and his liver came back too).... all the ingredients that showed he had a good time!
Hope everybody is doing well.... and keep on trucking,

I'm not to sure about Brazil, I was hoping that Brazil would pick up the pace, but so far, Brazilian's performace has been sub par.

Four weeks sounds about right to me to do the actual "asking out". You don't want to be Mr. "Short-Term Rebound". Good luck with that!
Regarding the Top 10 List, I am all for #9, #6 and #1. That probably says a lot about the type of person I am - COCHINA!
