Yesterday, J sent me a link to an online t-shirt store with a note that read, “Thought you might appreciate the design.” from left to right: England, USA, Brazil As you can see, each shirt has printed the names of the players who will be participating in the World Cup for that particular country. I […]
Interactive World Cup Schedule
This one’s for my husband, who will undoubtedly turn me into a World Cup Widow for the next month… Marca has a nifty (and beautifully-designed) interactive World Cup schedule so that you can be sure to never miss a match. Mouseover a date, a team, a group/stage, or cities/stadiums to get the details you need. Via FlowingData. […]
World Cup Bento Boxes [Seoul Eats]
I may not be a big soccer fan, but my native country of South Korea is definitely excited about the World Cup. Not only are celebrities are posing for photo sessions rooting for the beloved Red Devils, the hottest musical artists (including Olympic gold medalist Yuna Kim who has surprised the public with her beautiful singing […]
C’mon LeBron
On July 1, LeBron James will officially become a free agent. Will he stay in Cleveland? Or do the rumors of Chicago have merit? I thought that my hopes of New York gaining the two-time MVP had long dissipated, but the city has made it clear that we’re not out of the running yet. Along […]
The 2010 NBA Finals
Basketball has always been my favorite sport. Maybe it was the plethora of basketball manga I read while growing up (Slam Dunk, anyone?).

Having grown up in Hong Kong and attended boarding school in England, J is a HUGE soccer — ahem, football — fan. His […]
Genetically Gifted
I once dated a guy who informed me on our third date that while he found me very attractive, thought that I was intelligent, funny, and met many of his criteria, he could never see the relationship progressing to a serious level because he could never marry someone like me. “Um…why not?” “Because you’re so […]

My idea of a romantic dinner involves debating basketball and football at a four-star restaurant.
I don’t know about other girls, but I find it incredibly sexy when a man can spew off sports trivia. And that is exactly what J did during my birthday dinner tonight at my favorite steakhouse. What made it even more special was that after some supreme pwnage, he proceeded to egg me on. The […]
Look at That Accuracy…
Summer has always been a dull season in sports for me. (I may be a New Yorker but I am no baseball fan – it is too slow for my tastes. I’m still waiting for my beloved Knicks to start representin’ but this may take a while…and deserves a separate post entirely. End rant.) Last […]
