Switzerland ended up being whipped. France ended up with five goals (almost six but the last one was a fraction of a second after the ref blew the final whistle) and Switzerland somehow managed two goals. I think in the beginning I was going for France but by the second half I kind of wanted Switzerland to come from behind. It would have made for a more interesting game.

I watched the three World Cup games today but that was hours ago so I have forgotten most of them. Argentina v. Iran was a bit of a disappointment because Messi didn't have a lot going on. He did score the one and only point of the match in stoppage time to win the game, and it was a good shot, so there is that. The Germany v. Ghana game was fun to watch for most of it when players weren't trying to waste time. It ended in a tie but apparently it would have been better for the United States if Ghana had lost. And I don't really remember much of the Bosnia and Herzegovina v. Nigeria because it was on and I was kind of watching it but I was paying more attention to YouTube videos. The best part of that game though, was the Bosnian goalie dragged one of the Nigerian players off the field. Nigeria was ahead and one of their injured players was trying to run down the clock. The player and the two medics. They got him within a few feet of the sidelines and stopped. The Bosnian goalie came over and waved for them to move him off so they could keep playing and when they didn't he grabbed the player under the arms and moved him off the field, while the side ref got really animated about him stopping. It was pretty funny.

A lot of my day was spent learning Ruby. Or starting to learn Ruby. Months ago I made an attempt to start learning the Ruby programming language, even buying a book, but I didn't get far at all. Today, I would say I got a pretty good start. We'll see how much I remember tomorrow, if I keep going tomorrow. Programming is so much fun. I just wish I could keep with it.

Other things I did today. I looked into working on my handwriting. I looked up a lot of different resources and examples but nothing came of it. I am kind of thinking about finding a font I really like, now that I have hundreds of them, and copy it. I also left the house to buy a Powerball ticket and a drink at Sonic. I exercised, finished reading a short story, looked at things on the internet, and ate a few meals.

Tonight, I played BF4 for the first time in months. And I was awful. I was never that good but it felt like I was exceptionally awful tonight. It didn't help that I couldn't get on a winning team but I an only blame that for part of it. I forgot most of the buttons for things and kept randomly throwing grenades, knifing the air, and throwing medkits instead of pulling out my defibrillator. It was rough. I need to jump into some Metro with a high player count so I can experience constant action and get my adequate skills back.
