I work in the content room (like a newsroom) in my office, where there is a large TV. It is usually on to something quiet, like the news or a popular TV program.
But right now we are watching a football match, Ahli vs. Zamalek. Yes, I live in Zamalek. But no one really roots for them (they are the White Sox of Cairo football). Everyone is Cairo is an Ahli fan. EVERYONE. I was interested in going to a game, but apparently it is very...unpleasant for women and I have since reconsidered. So Ahli just scored a goal, 20 people are screaming right next to me, and I am probably not going to get any more work done today.
Considering going home early to read all the excellent Entertainment Weekly magazines I have just receieved in a package from my parents today. By the way: the package delivery man thinks it is hilarious that I get a package a month from America. We are on a first name basis now and he is totally my BFF. So send me mail! He will make sure it gets to me!
