Granted, the English side is pretty poor at this World Cup, but Germany didn’t need help from the referee to win. They got it anyway, and the Three Lions will head home after losing 4-1. The calls in this match were about as bad as it gets. Just dreadful stuff and FIFA is the only governing body in sports that would tolerate it.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile Argentina continues to impress. They are winning on charisma and hokum, but it has worked so far. They’re going to need to play defense to keep winning, but that wasn’t a problem today against one of the most overrated teams Mexico has ever fielded.<\/p>\n

Other observations you didn’t necessarily need to complete your day:<\/p>\n

I enjoy Ramen noodles a little too much for a grownup who can afford something slightly better.<\/p>\n

My Publix has motion sensor lights in the refrigerated section. If you walk the aisle quickly you feel like Randall Flagg.<\/p>\n

I have — just now — perfected the bachelor dinner. Shame this didn’t come to mind during the bachelor years. (It does not include Ramen noodles.)<\/p>\n

Editing down a voiceover I thought of how people always find that they sound different than they think they do in recordings? I think I enunciate differently too.<\/p>\n

Ran a 7:45 mile this evening. Rewarded myself with 10 very casual miles on the bike. If I could shave another minute off the run I’d be at my best ever time.<\/p>\n

If I could shave another minute off that time I might have a heart attack.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Misti Mayhem has produced an album, which would ordinarily disqualify her here, but it was funded by fan donation. And this is a really nice take on To Be Young:<\/p>\n

Give every day people a little equipment and the opportunity and they are liable to impress more often than not, that’s why we have YouTube Cover Theater. Be sure to come back next week for another installment, or make an artist suggestion in the comments.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
