And the world watches...and I sit still

Opening day of the World Cup and the opening night of A Prairie Home Companion (the movie not the radio show) and the world did not end nor did the righteous depart for glory on 06-06-06. Although the rest of the world may go crazy for the cup (or perhaps PHC), on this side of the world things are pretty calm. A few co-workers were getting a wee bit excited when Costa Rica were ahead of Germany. But of course the Germans, with their trademark patience and precision, came through and won. Although Tico Paulo Wanchope seemed to find the holes in the German defense by scoring Costa Rica's 2 goals.
Who's going to win? Here's my short list.
  • Going to the end: Portugal, Brazil
  • Sleeper team: Ivory Coast
  • Time to hang it up: Italy, France
  • Team that will prevent England from advancing: Argentina (yet again)

I do hope England do better but they just don't play with grit.

Finally, Garrison and a star studded cast come unto the big screen. Although this film may not make the top of the box office, this is one film I look forward to seeing and even owning. The odd thing about it is that it's directed by Robert Altman (the guy who directed the movie MASH and the silly Popeye musical with Robin Williams). Should be good because Maya Rudolph is in it too and she is such a character.
