that's it, i'm out (slams wad of cash on the table)
Well this weekend sucked. Not just because Brazil lost to, of all teams, freakin' FRANCE. Mostly because Brazil lost after I blew R$179 on an official Brazil world cup T-shirt. Chances are that the value of it dropped by around 50% 2 minutes after the game ended, and I only got to wear it for one match. The thought crossed my mind while I was buying it that, "I might just be jinxing the whole team by buying this right now." So not only did Brazil lose, but it's looking like it's probably my fault.
Additionally, I still haven't paid up on the (first ever, I should mention) World Cup pool that I entered with people from work back home. I think I'm going to ask if there's a prize for last place, since I've demonstrated a surprisingly consistent ability to pick which team will lose and designate them as the winner.
I went to a bar/luncheonette/restaurant with a bunch of coworkers on Saturday night, to watch the game, and even though Brazil lost it was a lot of fun. And crazy. The last time I heard so many people screaming at the TV was in college at 3am on a Tuesday, sitting in my apartment with a 1/2 roommate/case of beer ratio and watching Jenny Jones.
They took it surprisingly well, though (the Brazilians). There were only a few people crying and it was mostly women. One of my coworkers spotted a woman crying in the street and motioned for me to hand over my camera so he could capture it on film. The country's team may have lost, but at least we have a picture of some anonymous woman crying to point and laugh at. So it's not a total loss.
