not too big soccer fan

I woke up at 2:07AM. Is it raining in Rio? Turned the TV on. Two actors talking to Jô Soares. Then the breaking news. CNN had made a projection, and it seemed that Obama was elected. Not official, the woman said. Went back to sleep. Went to work around 5:40 AM. Heard a radio speaker joking. Is it Barack Obina? No, it's Barack Obama! Barack Obama has been elected the new American president! I give a starved smile to myself, and hope for the best. Walk a few blocks, get on the bus.
