toot toooooooot !!!! (that's the sound of a vulvazela) the first game of the world cup between mexico and south africa just ended. in a tie. proving that it is truly the dumbest sport. ;(

however, i was just reading this all-you-need-to-know guide from nymag, and found it to be very good reading. i can't wait to debate the implications of FIFA's decision to use adidas's eratic jubalani ball in public!

happy 09.09.09!!

i'm pretty sure three 9's is the mark of the beast, but so far this day is pretty uneventful. i've scoured the internet for reasons to get excited about it, but so far nothing. i couldn't care less about beatles rock band. in fact, it gives me the creeps, and i want it to get off my tv. and apparently, apple's having some sort of event centered around an ipod...but i can't make any sense of that either. it seems in the UK you can dial 999 if you have a silly emergency.

i did come across a wonderful wikihow with some great ideas of how to celebrate.

here are 2 things i AM looking forward to today:

1) going to see federer, soderling, and oudin at the US open.
2) president obama getting me some healthcare tonight in his big speech.

what are you guys doing with this "calendrical anomaly"?

got 15 minutes to kill?

take time out new york's 'do you belong in new york?' quiz. it's a little dumb but an adequate time-killer.

my score: 96
DO YOU BELONG IN NYC?
Yes, but sometimes you wish there were a better option.
You do love New York, and you fit in here better than you have anywhere else. You're committed to the city, and you take advantage of all of its amazing food, culture, nightlife and arts. But you have nagging doubts about this relationship. Spend your whole life here? Not sure about that. Sometimes you wonder about that farm in your fantasies or even just a smaller city. But in reality, you know there's nowhere better.

hmm. what'd you guys get?

The new $294 million Modern Wing of the Art Institute of Chicago, which opens on Saturday, is the closest Renzo Piano has come in at least a decade to achieving a near-classical ideal. (nytimes)
