Well, the Dutch are out, as much as Robben tried to “make it so.”

But seriously, great World Cup so far.

Greetings from sunny – wait, rainy – no wait, sunny again – London

I have to say, springtime in London is pretty awesome. The weather’s been pretty sunny up until today, the trees have been covered in flowers, tulips are blooming, and the city doesn’t look like a gray, sooty mess any more in daylight. I regret that I won’t get to enjoy the better weather here after I leave next month. Well, I’ll probably be back here and there, but it seems a shame that most of my time here was in the Autumn and Winter months. Plus, we don’t have swine flu over here… yet.

Here’s some shots from Tower Bridge of the London Marathon yesterday:

Ouch

What’s the opposite of Schadenfreude? Is it weird that I can’t even take pleasure in this?

No mercy

Some friends and I just joined the Austin Sports and Social Club soccer league. I’m really excited – I haven’t played soccer in a long time, but I love it, plus I could use the excuse to get into shape. Our team name: Cobra Kai. Which is awesome.

No mercy.
