The lack of entries the last couple of days was caused by my staying in bed trying to get better. I did actually go to work Friday, but I was so off my game it wasn't even funny. So I cancelled my plans and instead of staying here and blog about being ill I decided to head out to my parents' house and relax for a few days.

Have you been following the women's European Handball Championship? Yeah, me neither, but my parents still don't have cable (What do we need it for?), so women's handball was the only halfway decent thing on. And on the plus side they actually won and became European Champions, so that made it a bit more interesting.
Turns out one of the players attended the school my Dad teaches at, another attended my school (she transferred in after I graduated, but my sister knew her), and a third looks like Linda Evangelista.
If you're not from around here you might not be aware of how huge women's handball is here. I'm hardly an expert on this subject, but it's my impression that the men's team started sucking in the late 80s and around the same time the women's team got really good and their team is now probably almost as popular as the men's national football team. The women won Olympic Gold in 1996 and 2000 and have in the last ten years been European Champs twice, World Champs once, and won three other medals at the World Championships. So I guess it's not so strange that people like them.
