Last weekend my friends introduced me to Buzz, a playstation game which works like a Trivial Pursuit but specifically for music. We had a great time, specially making fun of the remarks of the Portuguese host of the "show" (for the ones that are Portuguese is Jorge Gabriel) every time you fail to answer the question. Our favorite is: "Querias batatinhas, nao?" :))))
But if you have the opportunity, try it, it's really fun and you'll spend a great time with your friends.
And the world championship ended with a victory by Italy. So, we had our little revenge from France and the only thing I regret is that this way I didn't win the bets here in the Institute. But I got really close... Second place... ;) Better luck for me and for Portugal next time :):))
Et voila!:) Again with a penalty converted by Zidane, Portugal is out of the final.... I must say it's getting to be a bit annoying, to say the least.... :(
The only good news is that I'm now in 1st place in the betting score! And the irony is that it seems that the only way for me to win, is for France to become the World Champion...
I borrowed this picture from Xana's blog because it's so cute :)))
For this evening's game against France, the best of luck for the Portuguese team!
I'm 5th, after that "improprio para cardiacos" (sorry, another of those invaluable portuguese expressions which sound weird in english ;)) game by Portugal against England. Gooooo Portugal! :))))
Actually, it was funny, as the Damasio conference was during the game, so basically we were trying to hear something outside that would tell us if Portugal had won or not....And as the silence kept on going, it was obvious that either Portugal had lost or they went on penalties. But as the speaker ended the presentation, we could hear the screaming :)))) So, great timing! ;) Though Prof. Damasio didn't seem all that pleased with the noise that could be heard from the streets during the discussion period....Or with the cell phones ringing during that time as well... But what it matters is that it was a great conference and Portugal won in the end ;):)))
