I think the U.S. ends as the top team in the group edging out England.

Which will probably put us up against the Germans next.

Many, MANY birthday happies, Teppy!!!

And Joss, of course.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

msbelle is moving on Bastille Day!

msbelle is moving on my birthday!

that is the genius that is DD's french vanilla flavoring, NOT SWEET!

That's my favorite coffee! Drinking it right now and... it's sorta great, considering I don't actually like coffee all that much.

So we can celebrate the storming of the Zenkitty, then?

I think Serbia may be more likely. If both Germany and Serbia win as probably expected, then Serbia would have to overcome Germany's 3 goal advantage in goal differential to win the Group. My guess is that we'll get Serbia and England will get Germany.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

what is the tea equivalent to espresso?

There really isn't. If you brew tea too strong, the tannins make the taste too astringent and unpleasant.

Lapsang souchong has a dark, smoky flavor which is kinda sorta espresso-y.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

But they can't just leave the vanilla out? I'm so confused.

Then it's pretty much tea with milk. Which? Nice, but not worth going to Coffee Bean for. The vanilla powder is where the crack lives.

Because books.

Lapsang souchong always tastes like drinking barbecue to me. But Garv used it in a marinade for chicken one night and it was really good.

I've been reading Apartment Therapy a lot lately. Which is bad because it makes me want to spend a lot. Anyway, I am sick in love with this furniture. [link]

Especially these couches: [link] [link]

These chairs: [link] [link] [link]

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"

My guess is that we'll get Serbia and England will get Germany.

Which would you rather the US got? I've watched neither Serbia nor Germany this tournament, but my guess is that either one is going to be very hard for England to beat.

I don't understand this latte powder nonsense. I mean--is it milk powder? Why is it vanilla flavored? WTF does it have to do with a latte?? I give up. (i am, however, happy that my iPhone knows to capitalize WTF)
