After hanging out at the mall and had lunch at Cheesecake Factory with Cu Dao, Dana and my sister-in-law, I couldn’t stay awake for the match between Germany and Uruguay. Both Dana and I got knocked out on the couches while my sister-in-law looked after Duke. Besides, I was not too excited about this game. I am looking forward to the final game tomorrow. I pick Holland simply because I had been so wrong in this World Cup. One more wrong doesn’t make much difference. In any rate, I wish both countries best of luck.

It’s amazing how a month of World Cup already over. After tomorrow, things will be back to normal again. The World Cup category will be disappeared on this site as well.

After the disappointment of Argentina’s performance, let’s hope the Spain will give Germany a heck of a game.

After getting back from my vacation last month, I haven’t jogged again. Work is still overwhelming and the rising heat (above 100 degrees) is blocking my motivation. I just stay inside and eat more. When I look at life, she depresses me. Fortunately whenever I look at Duke, he keeps me going even though I can hardly keep up with his energy.

I’ll be surprise if Uruguay could send the Netherlands home. Then again, I was so dead wrong about Argentina.

The World Cup this year has been quite unpredictable. Even Brazil lost to the Netherlands. The next match, Argentina vs. Germany, should be one of the best games in this World Cup. In fact, it could have been a final match. My prediction is that Argentina will advance. Then Spain will advanced over Paraguay. The Argentina will beat Spain to go the the final. On the other hand, Netherlands will have an easier win over Uruguay to get to the final. So next Sunday, the final match will be between Netherlands vs Argentina and my prediction for the 2010 World Cup will belong to Argentina.

I am still in the process of transitioning to a new Mac laptop. I migrated everything except for CS5, in which I am still waiting for the eligibility variation. I sent in both my GW’s ID and pay stub, but I was rejected. Now I have to wait for HR to write Adobe a letter to state that I work for GW in order for me to get the serial number. If I knew that I had to go through all these troubles, I would have stayed with CS4. If this is how Adobe continues to do business in the next release, I will not upgrade to CS6.

Sure I watch “So You Think You Can Dance.” I get to check out Cat Deeley’s outfit, some fine ladies with gorgeous physique and occasionally some great performances. Last night, Alex Wong gave a kick-ass hip-hop routine for a ballet dancer.

Japan has packed up. It’s time for Spain vs. Portugal. It should be a great match.

Damn Portugal!

Why monkeys and apes don’t masturbate as much as human, Jesse Bering believes:

The answer for this cross-species difference, I’m convinced, lies in our uniquely evolved mental representational abilities—we alone have the power to conjure up at will erotic, orgasm-inducing scenes in our theater-like heads … internal, salacious fantasies completely disconnected from our immediate external realities.

And why men masturbate more than women:

And, perhaps not surprisingly, men seem to entertain more visitors in their heads than do women. In a 1990 study published in the Journal of Sex Research, evolutionary psychologists Bruce Ellis and Donald Symons found that 32 percent of men said that they’d had sexual encounters in their imagination with more than 1,000 different people, compared to only 8 percent of women. Men also reported rotating in from their imaginary rosters one imagined partner for another during the course of a single fantasy more often than women did.

That’s it for the US boys. At least they made it to the second round. Better luck next time.
