Brazil vs South Africa Confederations Cup

I was a work while this game was played so I couldn’t watch it and so this commentary may be accurate and worthwhile. However I wonder where this commentator is from and why he is wasting our time with this. I copied some of the comments directly from the ESPN gamecast.
61' I know I bigged him up, but Melo has been nonsense tonight.
This is ok I guess but nothing about what is happening in the game
71' Brazil's passing tonight has been as erratic as Amy Winehouse's heartrate.
Strange analogy, however as I said it may be true I wasn’t watching the game
72' Tshabalala really is a first class name. Apparently he has brother called Po and Tinky Winky.
This is a terrible joke is it a teletubby thing?, does he think the guy is gay? A joke like this wouldn’t work on the teletvision or radio so any chance of it working in print is gone.
77' Booth - who has one of the longest necks I've seen and looks like one of hammerheads from Return to Oz - knocks the ball out of play, but is awarded the throw anyhow, much to Fabiano's consternation.
At least this is somewhat related to the game but really it is just an insult.
81' Alves is rolling down his girly poloneck in preparation for his imminent introduction. He replaces Santos.
Another insult it seems the commentator doesn’t even like soccer.
83' Melo is robbed by Modise and Lucio is then adjudged to have fouled Pienaar, which elicits a tantrum. It's been bothering me all night, and I'm pleased to say I've at last realised who Lucio reminds me of - it's Ivan Lendl.
83' Luisao has really quite a magnificent nose
Or maybe he just likes some of the players more than others, a lot.
85' And another thing I've just noticed. The very front of Dunga's hair hides the baldness that lies behind it. Good effort, but not good enough.

Now he is insulting the coach. I had to Google a picture of the coach to check out this statement and I have to disagree. He may be balding, but the short spikey hair is fine, I have seen plenty of worse attempts at hiding it
86' At last Brazil show something. Kaka drives at the defence, feeds it into Ramires, and he's fouled on the edge of area, to the left hand side.
And about here is where Brazil scored the only goal of the game.
90' I know I've slated him tonight, but I do like Dunga's velvet jacket, although I wouldn't wear it.
This is a very backhanded compliment. I also don’t know what the jacket looked like so I can neither defend the jacket or the comment
93' Well I'm glad that's over. A miserable game and a miserable performance from Brazil. South Africa did well, but you can't help but feel if they'd been a little less cautious, they might have managed to win. They'll also be rueing Mokoena's miss in the first half.
And the true feeling s about the game come out at the end.

The Worst Blogger Ever.

Ok Ok, I know that I am the worst blogger ever. I think I've blogged once. Maybe. But this past weekend I had the best time and I decided this was the perfect blog post idea.

So one of my best friends in the entire world (Since college) had a gorgeous baby girl about 7 months ago. She is truly one of the cutest babies I've seen in a long time and her name is Mattie. She's perfect in every way! Much to my surprise, Meg asked me to be Mattie's godmother. I was beyond excited. I mean, I've never been a godmother before, but knowing how close Meg and I are, I was ecstatic. Up until this point, being a godmother was more a title than anything else - but on Sunday, Mattie was baptized.

Believe it or not, Baptism requires rehearsal - so we did on Saturday. Meg and her husband Jon showed up with Mattie and Jon's brother David, the godfather. We spent about an hour walking through the ceremony and learning the meaning behind the ritual, etc, etc. Then, on Sunday, Stewart and I showed up at Meg's house at 9:30 to help set up for the post-ceremony luncheon. We all arrived at the church by 10 am.

The ceremony was great. There were four babies getting baptized that morning, and alphabetically, Mattie was last. She was so well behaved! She's only about 7 months old - so to be that behaved was shocking to me. Even as the water was being poured over her head, she was great. As godmother I had a few rolls. I had to speak out loud in response to the priest, take care of a candle, and a banner. Between David and I, we did a great job! Then it was home for the luncheon.

I got Mattie a gorgeous pearl necklace called an add-a-pearl necklace. Each year, at Christmas, I am going to get her another pearl for the necklace!! Meg loved it and I hope that when Mattie is old enough, she will too. I am so excited to be a godparent for the first time!

Other than that - the only thing going on is knitting and a countdown to Australia. (currently knitting socks for me, socks for mom for her birthday, and three weeks to Oz!) I can't wait. Ok that's it for me. Look for another blog post in about 6 months!! :)

The Internet is Wonderful

We were waiting for the computer program we use at work to be fixed to allow us to continue working, I was looking at various things on Wikipedia. For some reason I wanted to know about the Violent Femmes and really the wikipedia entry didn't tell me much I didnt already know. At the bottom of the "Blister in the Sun" page was a link to an outside page which read Second Hand Songs - Song: Blister in the Sun - Indigo Girls wondering what it was about I clicked on it to discover that www.secondhandsongs.com was a database to tell you the original artist and other artists who have covered songs. for some reason I think this is fantastic and a great resorcue to have to settle arguments about who sang what song when.
