The Middle Distance

the fandom survey: oh, I was hoping that you'd be one of the few who could give the whole thing a trail run - I have to finish it and get it passed by the human subjects board first - and that should take another 4-6 weeks. But then, I'd love to have your input. I've had to develop it a lot more from the lj-based one that I started with a few months ago. Now I'm trying to make it work for online fans more generally.

duh! the world cup and your heritage! I forgot about that... MrBean is a HUGE soccer fan - and I like hanging with MrBean - so we've been watching a lot of matches. But I haven't seen Brazil play yet. it'd be fun to be among real soccer fans - or to have them in the family. It just seems like this entirely different thing. I did go to an Olympic quarter-final game during the 1996 Games - they were held in GA. It was AMAZING. I can't even remember who was playing - only that the fans were just insane - which made the game so much more entertaining (and intense) than any other live game that I've attended.

I hope you won't be a half-orphan, either.
