Soccer bandwagon, tennis, sports misc.

Thanks to MSN sports, I read that Italy beat Germany, and will advance to Finals for the World Cup. In keeping with my usual pattern of becoming interested in THE championship for whichever particular [televised] sport (well, there are some exceptions), I now hope that France beats Portugal and then beats Italy for the win.

......

Or do I?

Italy is a place that's always interested me, and I'm more familiar with [tastey] Italian cuisine than French. Oh well, I guess that if it comes down to the "Battle of the Blues" (both teams are called that), I'll be happy for whoever wins.

More pleasing to me is that Wimbledon is in full swing (pardon the pun)! I'm going to have to do some taping; work prevents me from watching.

Finally, I think I'm going to invest in some fencing equipment and have my own jacket, pants, etc. A part of me is excited about it [fencing] again, and if I join USFA, I'll be more involved. Ah, good stuff.

Oh! Not finally! Speaking about buying stuff, I've been debating whether or not to buy a basketball hoop. It'd be fun to have something to do outside, and shooting hoops is really the only solitary activity I could do.

And I plan on playing on ultimate frisbee sometime soon.
