Been...up...since...four am. Need coffee! Help me, Juan Valdez!

Why was I up at four? To watch Senegal beat France in the opener of the World Cup!

For the next few weeks updates may be patchy and sporadic and of a decidedly soccer-oriented nature.

Best ad I've ever seen: The Adidas Football-itis spot with Beckham, Zidane, the scary bald ref, and soccer-playing dachsunds. It just doesn't get any better.
