sports and photoshoots :D

Yesterday was a very busy day. In the morning, I played tennis with my friend Jennafer. We played best 2 out of 3 sets...she killed me :D

Afterwards, I got together with my friend Lisa for a photoshoot. She had originally wanted a very fashion-y type shoot, with more of a focus on the clothes, but it ended up being more headshots, like the first photoshoot we did a couple of weeks ago. This was a little more serious than the first one, so during it, I discovered that modelling is much more difficult than I thought. Everything I did, either my face was too tense, or too pissed off... She took SOOOO many pictures, but honestly I think we'd be lucky if we got in five good shots, out of the billions she took.

I would take a picture of my outfit and post it, but I figure that's probably pointless, since eventually Lisa will sort through all of the pictures and post them on her own blog (stylerat.blogspot.com), which is also where you can find the pictures from our first photoshoot. Hopefully she'll be able to send the new ones to me quickly so I can post them here :)

Directly after Lisa left (no kidding about five minutes after she left) my friend Teresa arrived to get me and my brother and drive us to the Mets game she had invited us to. They played the Detroit Tigers, and won 5-0, which was great. Jose Reyes, who is my favorite baseball player, hit a homer, which completely made my day. It was actually a pretty exciting game, as baseball games go. To be quite honest, I tend to find them pretty boring. I am MUCH more inclined to be interested in soccer.

Oh, soccer. The world cup has got to be the best short span of time that only happens every four years, and will make me happy every single time. The official World Cup song, Wavin Flag (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tMophHw6iX4&feature=popular), makes me so happy and hyper because I am one of those people that just thinks soccer is such a beautiful game, and so great, and bla bla bla, I won't bore you with all the details.

Unfortunately for me, I missed the U.S. playing Algeria yesterday, which may be a good thing, because I probably burst into tears of relief after they finally scored in the 90th minute. See, I also happen to be one of those people who wants the United States to win. I do NOT think they are a bad team, like the many people who fancy themselves soccer experts, try to insist. I remind everyone that the U.S. got to the finals of the Confederation Cup just last year. They played Brazil, and did not win, of course, because its Brazil (my all time favorite team by the way), but just the fact that they made it that far, beating Italy and Spain in the process, the winners of the previous World and Euro Cups, respectively, that makes me say, hey maybe the U.S. isn't so bad at all.

But I digress. Soccer is just an amazing sport, and the World Cup has the entire planet holding its breath, and what a better thing to do with my time then watch a game while writing this blog? Which is what I'm doing now. Slovakia is beating Italy (my least favorite team) :P
