Vive Les Bleus!

today is supposed to be the magic day, the day we get an oven, a refrigerator, cable internet, and cable television, plus completion of a plethora of other small projects around the apartment, such as light fixture, bathroom sink, and window blind installation. i'll get back to you on how many of those were actually done today at my next opportunity to blog. today was a pretty slow day at the times, and i am glad. after a wild independence day barbecue party, i was left in pretty tattered shape. in addition to minimal sleep and legs that have been chewed to pieces by mosquitoes, i also took a heavy blow to the shoulder during an overenthusiastic celebration following a beer pong victory. i won't name names. i'm just going to say at that point in the night, i was in no shape to support the weight of another human being. so with a very stiff shoulder and a delirious mindstate, i was more than enthused to learn that i would spend much of the day following the france/portugal soccer game via espn's internet gamecast and scanning the internet for mindless entertainment. hopefully i will be updating you all on the state of my life later this evening from my fabulous comcast-internet-wired personal computer. but don't hold your breath.
