I'm just going to say it. I have loved many a TV show in my life. There was an Alias obsession that I won't go into fully. I love BSG like a crazy fangirl. I do enjoy some How I Met Your Mother.

Hi friends!

So now that we are effectively out of the running for anything other than 3rd or 4th place in the Women's World Cup, I have resigned myself to the fact that the US soccer federation will not be calling upon my services to come and take over head coaching and/or public relations for the remainder of the tourney.

runawaynun, hmmmmmmm.

not the usual way you like to hear about those ladies.

Apparently, talking about the WWC is about the equivalent of discussing sconces with a straight man but dammit, I am all riled up. I just want them to win and make all these other cocky teams who think they can smell our blood in the water shut up ( Read more... )
