Last night, we watched When In Rome, which was nothing special but all right; the latest episode of Entourage; and we started catching up on Caprica, but so far it's not really drawing us in. It seems a bit weird in a sense that there is no clear direction for the series yet.

Spain deserved to win the World Cup this weekend, but I had my money on the Dutch beforehand. It seems like Germany's clairvoyant octopus has correctly picked all the winners, so he's obviously a real connoisseur.

Said player had to leave to game and could not be replaced. Congrats, Spain!
