Well. Even if they do win now, it'll feel horrid. :/ Or at least not as right as it should've. Sigh.
[ETA] Congratulations to the Italians. [/ETA]

Footie talk: I'm very sad about Ghana v Brazil, and not just because no Brazil are through to the quarter finals, but also because dammit, Ghana were playing beautifully, and the Brazil defence sucked bunnies through a straw, and augh! And while I'm happy for France (they were my team in '98 despite everyone around me supporting Brazil, and I still have a soft spot for them), I kind of want to smack Thierry Henry for that stunt. Hon, just becaue it won Brazil the World Cup last time doesn't mean you should start pulling shit like that as well. Idiot. Beauty of a goal from Zidane, though.
So, Saturday we'll have England v Portugal, and Brazil v France, and I may die from nervous. I want Brazil to be kicked out, but then it might come to England v Fance in the semis, and then I'm going to be torn. *nailbite*
I kind of want one of these. I may get some wee containers to try the concept out and then buy a proper one once I know I'll actually use it. Hm.
( Cut for (minor? major? medium?) spoiler for Dr Who season finale. )
Dear google chat: Could you stop borking out on me, please? *smacks*

Dear footie commentators: Stop being so bloody pessimistic, dammit!
Dear everyone else: IM me!
( Pre-macth thoughts. )( First half. )
( Second half. )
Before I get to the picspam, apparently Becks was ill during the game, and still managed to make history by becoming the first England player to score in three World Cups. That's my boy! Or, as Gary Lineker (sp?) said, with a really naughty look, "You never doubted him, did you?" And then they played a songvid, I swear to god. (Must resist urge to make slashy OT3 songvid.) ( Anyway, on to the picspam! )

Att. Football fans! England match tonight, 8 pm British time. Be there, or be vaguely rectangular!
In other news, what the fucking fuck. Simon Tan and Uncle Jesse in a movie about gay marriage. I repeat: the fuck?

Am on AIM (and assorted other chat programmes) and available for footie stuff. Someone come join me? My AIM SN is femgeekminerva, as is my y!msgr one, or drop me a line with your IM programme of choice and your SN and I'll invite you to a chatroom.
England v Trinidad&Tobago, aka England v Schotland *, kickoff in ten minutes. COME TALK TO MEEE!
* ("Huh?" Yeah. Playing with number 20 for Trinidad and Tobago: Jason Schotland. Irn Bru have been campaigning to get all of Schotland behind T&T for just that reason. I love this country.
Ha! My Footie Cup score is slowly gaining again. Go me! Also, speaking of football (Which, when am I not, these days?), att. football fans! I expect at least one of you for chatting purposes today! England v Trinidad&Tobega! Come on, it'll be made of pretty!
I need to start bringing my knitting to work again, especially since they're making me do outbound campaigns again. Bah. I mean, eh, it's mindless busywork that allows me to multitask and stuff, but it's a Marketing campaign, which means calling people up and trying to persuade them to take a survey, and bleh. I don't like this.
Aaaand femgeeks and affilates are back up. Thankfully. *toddles off to go plot and stuff*
[ETA] *boogies down to Sultans of Swing* Now that is hold music. :D [/ETA]
My Footie Pool results have taken a sharp dive as I continue to get things massively wrong, woe. I guess betting against Brazil out of spite will do that, though. Tomorrow: England vs Trinidad&Tobago, which, looking at the pictures of T&T's last game, promises to be a very sexy match. That team is just filled with eyecandy. (What? I'm deep like a kiddie pool, yes.) The match will be kicking off at 18:00 local time, which is 17:00 BST, 12:00 (noon) Eastern, and 09:00 Pacific. I will be expecting people in chat this time!
Also, on behalf of ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif){kind=small}
hokage, anyone know where a USAian could get a live feed for the matches online? Google is uncooperative.
Dear weather: Yesterday, when I had nothing productive to do, you were overcast and kinda bleh, but today, on a freakin' match day, you suddenly get your sunshine on? Damn youuuuuuu! Sulkingly yours, Melle.
So, yeah. Kickoff for the England game at 14:00 BST, I'll be seting up a chatroom on AIM around 13:30, so drop a comment here with your screenname and I'll invite you. Unless people do prefer IRC?
[ETA] Chatroom created. Someone come join me before I have to start blithering to myself. [/ETA]
Fucking football fans under my fucking window at fucking three in the fuckng morning fucking singing "The Hearts are havin' a partyyyyy," and YOU DON'T SAY, I TOTALLY HAD NOT NOTICED THAT! SHUT UP! *headpillow* And then I overslept, and gaaaaah. My icon has never been more applicable.
[ETA] ( In case anyone thinks I'm exaggerating: photo behind the cut. )
[/ETA]I want this. Badly.
Realisation: I won't be able to do the semi-traditional European Song Festival chat-in this year, as my dad will be here for it. Bah, I say. :(
Siege update: Still besieged. They're no longer crowding right under my windows, but they're totally blocking Ardmillan Terrace further up the road, which means that if I want to go to Dalry Road, which I'll have to do to get more gas and electricity and recharge my bus pass, I'll have to either find an alternate route or brave the crowd. I'll have to venture outside anyway, because my tobacco won't last me until tomorrow.
Note to self: Call mum this evening to wish her a happy Mother's Day.
[ETA] The Conquering Heroes have arrived. The crowds are dispersing. Thank fuck, maybe I'll be able to get through in a bit. [/ETA]

I just forgot to watch Dr Who because I was busy talking to ruby_fruit about ... Dr Who. I TOTALLY LOSE AT LIFE OMG WTF.
Also, am besieged by football fans. Send help!
Someone in the comments to one of the entries on my friendslist posted a link to this, which claims to be an explanation of cricket. Maybe now I'll actually be able to watch it and know what's going on, instead of just watching it because they sure do look opretty and distinguished in those uniforms. (Also, slashy, but that's par for the course with me, obviously.)
Results of Friday's knitting poll are in, and it looks like I'll be knitting a hat after this scarf, and then a pair of hobo/fingerless gloves. The award for linking me to the Coolest Knitting Patterns Ever, though, goes to rsadelle. This is so hitting several of my kinks at once.
Internet and Cable and telephone will be getting connected this afternoon. Yay! No more crappy TV reception! More than five TV channels! Internet! Wheeee!

... I'm possibly a bit overexcited today. Possibly.
