So the USA won the basketball gold medal, as expected. But contrary to my initial expectations, the match was actually pretty exciting. Spain played much better than the last I saw them play (against the US) and they forced the US to fight for every single point they scored. Spain led for the first half of the first quarter but the US stole the ( Read more... )

Basketball semi-finals, USA v Argentina, half-time:
Wow, the USA is playing quite tragically tonight. Argentina pretty much handed the win to them on a silver platter in the first quarter when they finished with a measly 12 points against the USA's 31 (or 30-something), but in the second quarter, the tables have turned - quite literally.

I haven't mentioned David in a while 'cause my attention has been shifted elsewhere, and also because the obsession has, quite honestly, waned tremendously. Still, I check the Livejournal Cookie community from time to time to see what's happening with him (mostly tour stuff which I don't really care enough to check out in great detail) and I ( Read more... )

It looks like my devastation over not being able to watch the tennis gold medal match was a tad premature. The one and only reason I cared about tennis, a.k.a. His Royal Prettiness Roger Federer, is out of the competition.
Omgomgomggggg I can't believe it! Worse, he lost to James Blake while I was lost in International Police Enforcement ( Read more... )

(I was going to title this entry 'first day of school' until Firefox kindly alerted me to the fact that I had an entry, written this time last year, called 'first day of year 3'.)
1. I am so tired that I think I'm going to die.

2. I was in school from 9 a.m. to 9.30 p.m., a feat that really shouldn't be repeated under normal, humane circumstances ( Read more... )

While the rest of the world is drooling over the World Cup, I'm starting to catch NBA fever all over again. My folks subscribed to the sports channels because my brother wants to watch the NBA finals. This morning I was awoken by the distinctive sounds of an NBA match emanating from the television, and I pulled myself out of bed in time to catch ( Read more... )

My horoscope for this week isn't too bad:

"Cancer (June 22 to July 22): This week the stars are throwing a rosy glow over your intensely personal life. You are looking good, feeling good and more adventurous than usual. This could be interesting, particularly where your romantic life is concerned."

:)

I don't really believe in horoscopes persay, but ( Read more... )

JJC's basketball team lost to HCJC today, 63-80.

And I was there to watch them fall.

Wonderful, isn't it. And I seriously think our number 14 is damn cute and he's supposedly our best player.

Right, anyway, skip this if you're not interested in a blow-by-blow account of the match until I tell you to, um, un-skip. Yep.

Okay, so I wouldn't exactly give a ( Read more... )

The weather has been incredibly fucked up these few days. It's really like walking into some giant oven the minute I walk out of an air-conditioned room. It's times like these that I'm thankful for JJ's all-air-conditioned classrooms.

That aside, I passed both my Econs and Maths test, 21/35 and 18.5/25 respectively. Talk about a major surprise. My ( Read more... )

I played basketball today. I think I do a mean impression of a fade-away jump shot, and note that I said impression. Was playing the ABC thing with my mother and my brother who simply LOVES hogging the stupid ball and I skipped the free-throw and three-point lines and progressed to the position under the basket. I'm actually supposed to shoot by a ( Read more... )
