The USA vs. Ghana World Cup match did not go as we had hoped, but it still a good game. Quite surprised about how well Ghana played, to be honest. It was most impressive.
We also watched some Burn Notice and
Whip It, produced and directed by Drew Barrymore herself. While it's not going to break any records or win any awards, it was quite fun and entertaining.
Later today, we're going to go see Danzig. Depending on how loud it'll be, I might actually wear my earplugs because after last week's Iron Maiden concert, I couldn't hear for two days.
