Big day today. Kerry Wood makes his second start of the season and I was actually able to catch some of it live. Now, of course, the game actually took place on Tuesday May 23 at 7pm Eastern (US) time, but that was 9am this morning my time, so I caught the beginning of the game. I'm watching the end of it on archive right now, so I can't (yet) celebrate Wood's win. But its inevitable. Anyway...
This morning we went on the acclaimed Bridge Climb where we climbed to the top of the Harbour Bridge. It was pretty awesome. I had my doubts and Ann was extremely nervous and you might even say a little scared. Her fear of heights, as she made a point of telling our climb leader, is outshadowed only by her fear of bridges. But it was actually quite awesome. Climbed to the top, had a look around, came back down. They wouldn't let you bring cameras, or anything else for that matter, with you, so you'll just have to imagine the view.
Also tonight is the State of Origin rugby match, about which I know next to nothing but am very excited for. It's kind of like an all-star rugby match between New South Wales and Queensland. The best National Rugby League (I guess there are many different rugby leagues in addition to the Australian Rules Football and just plain old futball) players from the two states play in a yearly best-of-three set of matches for bragging rights. The first of these three matches is tonight at 8. The next one isn't for almost two weeks, I believe, so this is our only chance to see it live on TV in Australia. Like I said, I'm very excited.

Rooting very hard, I see, given that you're asking me about the outcome. As it was though, NSW won in very stunning and dramatic fashion. Queensland mounted a spectacular second half comeback. They were down 14-0 at the half and came back to tie the game at 16-16 with about a minute and a half remaining. It was great. And then some guy for NSW, uh, kicked a goal? (I haven't the faintest clue on how to speak about rugby) for 1 point with 87 seconds left. NSW won 17-16. The guy who scored that last point though was a last minute sub for some NSW guy who got hurt (big surprise) the week before the match. It was huge the next day; his cinderella story. I was happy for him, though now I couldn't remember his name if my life depended on it.
