I've gotta say. That really doesn't look appetizing to me at all. So, I'm going to have to try it. A few times before, when it comes to eggs, something that completely nauseated me turned out to be something I love. I local place has a signature crabcake benedict. I never liked bennies...

Yeah, I really wasn't expecting less though. Mexico looks good, but that's kind of a tough group. I didn't expect an upset in Group A to come from South Africa. But South Korea is capable of beating them outright. And like they showed, Czechia is capable of hanging around and getting a...

I don't know how unpopular that opinion actually is. A: most people don't really care about U.S. Men's soccer (although the Women's team draws better than average attention.) and B: there's plenty of us who agree that would be fitting. I might have been more... sly about it were I FIFA. Like...

With the group placements, that is more likely to benefit Belgium than the U.S. But seriously, that is utterly garbage behavior by a host country. But the U.S. has been deeply embarrassing to me for about a decade now, so it isn't hard to believe.

Xprimentyl has it right. I care about the World Cup more than most, and frankly its more about the sport than caring about how my country does. I really don't think the US gets out of group this year. I mean, I'll be watching, but there are much better stories. Mexico got into a pretty...

That's why I was trying to get in for free. I'll fight traffic for a big event. I'll pay for the privilege to fight traffic... for fewer big events. Especially if it involves the Truman Sports Complex. It takes an hour to getting in and out for a well attended Royals game.

So, I applied for a press pass to cover World Cup games in Kansas City (and that would be a real stretch of the definition of "coverage," it is just a flimsy pretense for going.) And I'm pretty sure I've been denied (or at least no one has gotten a response to me.) My hat has remained in the...

Over the long weekend I watched one series on my backlog Crunchylist, and started another. AOKANA: Four Rhythm Across the Blue - Pretty standard sports anime with a sci-fi sport that is a cross between tag, a race, and Quidditch. If you've seen any sports anime, you'll see everything coming...

Yeah, I go back to it every couple of years or so. And my party, I generally can't leave Selphie behind. Her limit break is too devastating. Throw the other 2 on defend and just do over until you get 3 Aura. If Squall is in the party, that means the fight is over. No matter which fight it...

Well, a bit of an exaggeration. Maybe an extra hundred. It might have been around 150 or so. And it wasn't Omega Weapon, although I did defeat OW. I just hate not being over-leveled. So I get a new materia... time to grind it to the point where it can wipe encounters. Grinding levels for...

I had even played FF7 first, and still liked 8 better when I got my hands on it. For me it was just timing. I was hitting a particularly busy time in life and had very little time to game. My run through 7 had taken hundreds of hours, and I didn't have that kind of time to commit. And I love...

I think two of mine count. I watched Hard Target when it came out and thought Jean-Claude Van Damme's hair was so cool in that movie that I adopted the permed, super curly Tennessee mudflap as a style. Early 90's me thought that was rad. And of course it went well with the neon pinks and...

Yeah, there's a Mediterranean cafe down the street from my apartment, and the head chef goes all out. Dices together lamb and beef, forms it by hand on the skewers, and grills it over high heat to give it a decent sear. His kebabs are incredible. But sometimes, I'll go to the hole in a...

She probably wanted to show off a little... but there was more to it than that, and I'm dumb enough that I didn't pick up on it until years later. Looking back on it, she really liked doing some kind of fairly strenuous activity during a date. Walks/jogs, rollerblading, tennis, just going to...

Tennis is for me, is like golf. It is on the list of sports that I really love to play, but can't stand to watch. And they are also both on the list of sports that I played a decent amount... but never had any real skill with. Hmm, that's similar to my "skill" as a musician. Ouch, competent...
