Thoughts on the Euro 2008 Final

Actually, there isn't really much to say.

It was a terrible game.

And the Germans lost. Dreadfully.

Duncan Irving puts it best:

Post-game: Spain players are tossing Luis Aragones in the air, which surely constitutes elder abuse. Don’t try that at home, kids. The Germans look resigned and miserable.

Like a fairytale

Only six weeks left?

Happy three years!

I would never have guessed that I'd be writing The Autumn Rain's third-year-anniversary post from a room on the thirteenth floor of an apartment building overlooking a city in Germany.

But I am.

And it's been a good three years. I've met new people, exchanged thoughts (and emails), and even managed to say a few coherent things here and there.

I look forward to seeing what happens.

Folge deinen Träumen!

Found on a bookmark from Osiander:

Folge deinen Träumen!

Bücher sind Schokolade für die Seele. Sie machen nicht dick. Man muss nach dem Lesen nicht die Zähne putzen. Sie sind leise. Man kann sie überallhin mitnehmen, and das ohne Reisepass. Bücher haben aber auch einen Nachteil: Selbst das dickste Buch hat eine letzte Seite, und man braucht wieder ein neues.

Follow your dreams!

Books are chocolate for the soul. They don't make one fat. One need not brush one's teeth after reading. They are quiet. One can bring them anywhere--no passport required. Books have only one downfall: even the fattest book has a last page, and then one needs a new one again.
