Go Argentina! (and new camera)
I began watching the World Cup with my loyalty evenly split between three countries: America, Japan, and Argentina. Since they all started in different groups, and since only one has progressed past the first round, I had no conflicts of loyalty. Unfortunately, the US and Japan did not perform well at all, but Argentina has more than made up for them with some truly beautiful games. Normally I wouldn't be excited about a 6-0 shutout. I prefer a closer, more exciting match, but when Argentina took down Serbia-Montenegro, each of their goals was like a work of art. Great stuff. Then their first game of the championship with Mexico provided all the tension I needed. Now let's hope they crush their German hosts this Friday! Let's go Argentina!
In other news, I saved change this year like I did last year, and I blew some of it on a new camera. Here are some of its first pics:

Nice camera! It's good to see you got one of those instead of blowing your money on computer games :)
Heh heh, yeah, slick-lookin' new camera. Out of curiousity, how much was in the coin jar this time around?
14 man, aka roughly $1,200. Last year I didn't put many 500 yen coins in, but I did this year and consequently the amount of money in the jar more than doubled.
and thanks, luke. I'm proud to announce I am currently "clean" with regards to computer games at the current moment. I play a bit of the Nintendo DS, mostly with friends, but I'm not playing any computer games right now. When you saw me the other week at Denkodo, I was actually buying a game for someone else. I wonder how long before I relapse...
