Through and through and through

It's been a while since I've really put anything of substance on this blog. Perhaps an update is in order.

I've been seeing someone. He is not a musician and so far not an asshole who can't seem to make up his mind.

As an added bonus, I'm going green and recycling.

My mother has returned to Calgary. Things have ultimately turned for the worse and the infection my grandmother has is now in her blood. She's resting comfortably and she's the most lucid I've experienced her in a long time. I like to take comfort in the fact that she will die knowing who I am.

My World Cup predictions have been hot and cold. I'm betting on a Uruguay/Germany final. Everyone else is joining camp Nederlands, but I'm sticking to my guns.

I went to Cirque on Friday and thoroughly enjoyed it. My favourite part was the end routine with the trampolines and the building. I only wish it had been a bit longer. Mitch created an elaborate backstory/plot for the performance - possibly as enjoyable as Cirque itself.

Spent the day in Summerside for work. I was able to have lunch at my aunt's place - pizza, garlic fingers, and cookies!

Things could be better, but they could always be worse.

DEUTSCHLAND

The Germany v. Argentina game today was unreal. The Germans demolished the Argentinian side with a score of 4-0.

After losing the English early on, I'd like to give my full support to the Germans. It doesn't hurt that I may have fallen in love with Klose and Mueller.

I better find your loving, I better find your heart

Spent the morning at work watching the South Africa v. Mexico game. Amazingly fell in love with Mexico's kit. Started watching the France v. Uruguay game at work, continued at Churchill afterwards. World Cup is in full swing and work will be a magical place for the next month.

Speaking of work, we filmed a one-minute short to promote the use of social networking sites (Facebook, Twitter) within the government of Canada, and specifically the SCCY. It was fun. I played a youth getting a construction job. Didn't really look the part, but we're all about diversity and equal opportunity.

In other news, looking forward to the England v. USA game tomorrow. Reppin' my roots and cheering for England.

They'll call me freedom

We started a World Cup pool at work today in preparation for tomorrow. The way we are doing ours is we chose 16 teams that we think will advance out of this round. We get a point for each correct pick. After that we'll pick the winner of each match in the next round. Two points for each of those correct picks. It continues in such a fashion. I'm pretty excited as I feel this will get me more interested in the World Cup.

Aside from that fun, life's been a bit blah. My grandmother is in the hospital and goes in for surgery possibly on Monday. She just turned 81.
