Good News all around!!

Well, I have to say how damn proud I am of Germany today.  Klose really came through for us when I thought that Argentina had the upper hand.  Germany 4-2 over Argentina in penalty kicks.  WOOT!!! Germany in the semifinals, probably against Italy.  Sieg!!  As if that win wasn't cool enough, I also found this great article from Sports Illustrated that essentially confirms that Jurgen Klinsmann is the man: "In a game full of drama, if not the transcendence soccer fans had hoped for, Germany's penalty-kick elimination of Argentina came down to this: Jürgen Klinsmann totally outcoached José Pekerman."  

Glenn and I went into a priority care center today to get his ankle X-rayed.  Fortunately, there were no breaks or fractures or torn ligaments to be found.  He just sprained the hell out of it but will not require a cast. *sigh of relief*

Additionally, I just saw on ESPN that the Mavs are hoping to complete negotiations of a more solid contract with Jason Terry, who is a free agent.  They also mentioned a 3-year-extension to Dirk Nowitzki's contract, which (if I remember correctly) is up in 2008. *does a happy happy dance*

I also want to take this moment to tell phantom_hpuff and celinra how much they rule.  Because they do. =^)

Finally, a meme, yanked from spikesbint:
