(no subject)

So the one good thing I can say about my ex from high school is that he introduced me to soccer. The 2006 World Cup was during the last summer we were together, and we watched several matches at his house (usually in Spanish) and it was fun, and now I will watch it when I am in New Orleans (no cable in my apartment, and no working tv either) and there's nothing another family member wants to see. And since I also really like FiveThirtyEight, I was happy to see that Nate has done some World Cup 2010 statistical analysis stuff.

And it's Friday! You get an extra-long Follow Friday this week, since I missed last week due to broken interwebs.
