I'm losing my shit. I'm eating prunes. I'm listening to 17-minute podcasts of third-string goalkeeper (and major Tool fan) Marcus Hahnemann conversing with the media, in German (sorta). In 48 hours I will be on a plane to Germany.
Today I bought a plug adaptor and some books (Miguel Street, by V.S. Naipaul; An Ice Cream War, by William Boyd) to read on the journey. Tomorrow I will cut my grass and hope it doesn't grow too much in two weeks. (If you wish to rob my house now would be an excellent time.)
(By the way, Ives Galarcep is losing his shit as well. That's the only possible explanation for why he's writing about a theoretical ultimate fighting match between Oguchi Onyewu and Jan Koller. The dude's got a seriously scary depth of knowledge of the sport.)
But there are two games taking place prior to my departure for the airport on Friday: Costa Rica v. Germany at 11 a.m. CST and Poland v. Ecuador at 2 p.m. I will be watching these games at the Nomad World Pub. They are running drink specials and contests and all kinds of awesome, inane stuff throughout the World Cup. Come join me.
Barring imprisonment or spontaneous combustion I'll be posting updates here from Germany.
