I Wept Into My Salad

I heard that Rupert Grint owns and operates his own ice cream truck. He apparently also took two tries to pass his driving test. Obviously, I now love Rupert Grint just a little more.

IN ADDITION, Evanna Lynch, the actress who plays Luna Lovegood, is even more loved by me than she previously was. I read her Wikipedia page and really, there's no way I couldn't love her. It's just... so much HP love still floating around my household. It's darling.

I went to see Ice Age 3 today: enjoyed it. A lot. It was cute! And funny, as these types of films tend to be.

Then I ate at DA YARDHOUSE. MMMM that place is delicious.

Unfortunately, my good day was slightly tainted by the fact that USA lost against Mexico in the final for the Gold Cup. Can you believe it, Mexico made in FIVE GOALS. Do you know how many the US made?

None.

I was greatly bothered. I wept into my summer salad. I dribbled mucus into my mu shu egg rolls. I slopped saliva onto my father's pan seared ahi tuna (that's what you get for rubbing your win in mah face, old man!). And I'd rather not even mention what I did to my siblings plates of fried calamari. Or what happened to the waiter - I promise that was purely accidental. The man understood - he too was despairing over the great loss.

I'm not sure if anyone knows this, but one of my life dreams is to go to a World Cup, preferably one in a foreign country. I got so excited for the 2006 Germany World Cup and I'm looking forward for South Africa 2010. Before, I didn't truly care about soccer. The thing that changed it was HP and the Goblet of Fire and their Quidditch World Cup.

The World Cup of ours is the closest thing to it. God forbid I never get to experience the undiluted levels of fanaticism that revolves around a world sport.

Really, if I never get to join in that level of sports fun, I might as well never have existed.

I noticed that most goalies seem to love yelling at their team when the ball gets too near. Like, "What the hell do you think you're doing? Aren't you supposed to be my defense or something? SHUT THE HELL UP AND DEFEND, BITCH. They would've totally made that last one in if it wasn't for my obviously UNMATCHABLE, INCONTESTABLE, and SUPERIOR skill!"

Gah, it's freaking great.

Oh yes, have you met Memo Ochoa? He's Mexico's goalie. I think he's got pretty hair. He's also one wicked keeper/goalie.
