The Good Life

Ahhhh, the good life. That’s what I’ve been doing recently. All I do is work, read or watch TV shows, and take it easy. A number of my friends have left, which makes things a tad depressing, but my countdown til home has now reached 11 days. I’m getting real excited, and hope to see as many people as possible.

It was quite sad to be overseas for Thanksgiving. I did get to enjoy a nice dinner last night with a few friends, but nothing can replace time with family and eating turkey, gravy, stuffing, and an assortment of any delicious pies.

In sporting news, Beckhem mania has hit Sydney. The LA Galaxy are in town for a friendly with the home side Sydney FC. At the match on Sunday night, the Galaxy were introduced to the crowd. The Cove’s reaction was quite negative, espousing their usual hatred for the opposition. But the chants included mean things about Posh Spice and how Beckham was a waste of money.

Tonight is the friendly, and I’m excited for it. Getting to see Beckham for some reason really has me intrigued. I don’t know what it is, but I also think there is a hint of American pride at getting to see an MLS team match up against an A-League side. Kind of one league vs. the other. Also excited because I’m in the process of writing something up from the game for a soccer website. We’ll see how that goes.

Hope everyone is well and that I see you over break. Who ever you are.
