Now we're done with the biomed

This is what Ossi said to me Tuesday after a much less stressful and more successful day at the lab coating tubes. I looked at him confused and he said if we're not doing biomed then it's time for beer! And with that we settled in to watch the Netherlands beat Uruguay!

Wednesday was a big day! It was Germany vs Spain to see who would be going to the world cup finals. As was tradition the whole neighborhood turned out for a pre game barbecue. So far when they'd had a barbecue Germany had won so they couldn't stop now. Everyone was quite nervous since Paul the Octopus Oracle had predicted Spain to take the win. As it turned out Paul was quite right as Spain played much stronger than Germany, and recipes for barbecued octopus began being discussed. Fussball is probably the only thing that can make all of Germany cheer or groan in unison.
