If I ever needed proof that I am not in charge of the universe, today is yet another in a long line of days to add to my my imaginary evidence folder, because if I were in charge of the universe, I would have finished the 2014 World Cup soccer ball in time for the opening kick off, and instead, I am writing a hurry up blog post.
I almost made it, but almost isn’t the same as making it. I am one pentagon and three hexagons shy of what I need to start the piecing the soccer ball.

which, as mentioned earlier, is four pieces shy of what I need to begin to assemble the soccer ball.

Exciting project! It will be done when it is done!
I do believe that your work here is an amasingly fine idea. Looking forward to se the ball!
Charge!
