ESPAÑA CAMPEONES DE EUROPA!
Hi Madre! Sorry for not posting in a while. I’ve been all too consumed with EUROCOPA 2008 to take time out of my busy futbol watching schedule! Tonight we, er, Spain, won the Europe Cup against Germany.

I so wanted to call each and every German exchange student we ever had and obnoxiously cheer into their voice mail box (Florian above all). My boyfriend, Iker Casillas, is fantastic. He’s super excited about winning and hardly had to do anything, Spain was playing so well. That’s good for me because he needs to save his energy for things like cleaning the house and rubbing my pies (pies = feet, duh!).

Erika “soon to be Darmon” Oblak
Hi Momma! I got a dress on-line from J. Crew for Erika’s wedding. I guess she like, wants me in it, or like, something. I’m glad that the only friend that has ever asked me to be in a wedding has really good taste, because now I’ll have not only a really expensive dress, but an actual wearable, really expensive dress. I wonder if some women go through their lives without ever being asked to be in a wedding? I can’t really think of anyone else I know who would ask me to do it. I’m actually hoping that no one else does because I’m not sure if I trust their brides maid dress judgment as much as I trust Erika’s (did I mention she let us choose from three? Now THAT’S a friend!) Anyway, here’s the dress. It’s so cute. And the color? Kelly green!
PS I know the dress that she’s going to wear but I’m not tellin’

Kelly and Emilio
Hi Mom! Last night Emilio and I took some practically professional pictures… with my MacBook camera. We are looking really good. I think taking up nude cycling has really paid off!!!

Spanish sports
I’ve been interested in getting in shape lately. I joined a gym a few months ago. I’m going fairly regularly. Sometimes I go running in El Retiro park with Mirko. Sometimes I shop all day. But I was thinking of taking up cycling. This is what sparked my interest:

Vending machines meeting your needs
Vending machines. Oh vending machines. In high school I hated you. In college I loved you. And now? Well, how would you feel if instead of Coca-Cola and you found “other” things? I bring you Madrid vending machines..
Books. Oooh, that’s nice. And convenient!

Wii not crazy
I haven’t been into video games since I was a kid. I have never beaten one. Ever. Not Mario Bros 1, not Sonic, not Zelda. So I lost interest (obviously) and since then I’ve thought that video games are huge wastes of time and money and are basically for stoopid people (it’s obvious that I don’t actually hate video games, but that I feel rejected and inadequate) . My friend Bruno lives with some junkies and they have TWO televisions and everyday is a 24 hr video game challenge. Sometimes they don’t go to class (OK, that’s totally understandable). Sometimes they don’t talk. Or eat. And sometimes they don’t even sleep. It’s like an addiction. And it’s mighty scary to see.
“Hey guys, what’s up”
“Clickclickclicktaptap”
“Got any plans tonight?”
“Pow! Shazzzam! Whirrr.”
“I’m having some girlfriends over for a pillow fight later.”
“:::animated crowd roars:::”
See what I mean? But then Nintendo came out with this and I am dy-dy-dying to test it out! The yoga part is genius. The strength training looks challenging. The only qualm I have is that the aerobic exercise looks a little half-ass to me. But a little test drive could quiet my fears. Our TV doesn’t even have DVD hook-ups, much less hook-ups for a Nintendo Wii… woe… I guess my little fantasy stops here. But if any of you have a Wii Fit please, please, PLEEAAASE let me come over and do it! The cool part is that it records your progress and you can beat your own records but I just want to try it out once. It might actually be worth saving up for… and also saving up for a TV. :::sigh:::
Until then… this little piggy will go Wii Wii Wii all the way home.

First time for everything
Today I came home and look what was waiting for me on the bed:
and I didn’t even have to ask!

Kelly… Belly?
Sunday I went to a friend’s show. She’s been belly dancing for about 10 years and I was absolutely positively impressed. I think I’ve been watching too much Fama. You know something is terribly wrong when I start to think that dancing around with half a shirt on is a good idea.
A little vid I made of my friend’s recital.
