NEW LJ LAYOUT! Plus, Wimbledon, F1, & Spanish Athletes
I CHANGED MY LAYOUT! Angelina Jolie + Clooney-Pitt-Damon. Check it out:

And this layout lets me have a different header in my 'friends' page so look:

Let me know what you think. The color schemes are the same as the old one and there are other things I like better from the previous layout, but 'thought I'd have something new to stare at :).
I just watched Venus Williams demolished Marion Bartoli at the Wimbledon Women's Final. Huh. Bartoli is such an odd player, with her both-hands-on-the-racket-even-for-forehands, her peculiar serve ritual, serving on her tippy toes, but you gotta admire her beating Henin to get to the Final. But, well, Venus is just too powerful for her. Congrats Venus :D! No one in my house likes the Williams sisters, but I always quite like them and, in particular, Venus more than Serena.
At the moment, they're showing a replay of the Nadal v. Djokovic match. I just don't get why they didn't show ANY of the Men's Semis live. Is it like this in other places in the world? Because I know that Australia has TERRIBLE protective media laws when it comes to sport events. Basically, there are certain sports (eg. F1, football/rugby, Wimbledon) that MUST be shown on free TV. However, there's nothing said about showing them LIVE. As a result, the asswipes on free TV hog all these events, because pay TV can't show them anyway, and NOT AIR THEM LIVE, which I assume is cheaper for them. So, though I have pay TV, I still can't watch many sports live.
F1, of course, being my biggest woe.
Speaking of which...
Dammit to hell. Hamilton got pole again! Alonso got P1 for Quali 1 and 2, but somehow only managed P3 in Q3. Argh!!! Kimi looked fast though, making that last corner mistake yet still managing a P2 qualification. Here's hoping Kimi (or Alonso & Massa) jumps Hamilton tomorrow... :)
Actually, I'm also hoping for rain. With all the rain delays at Wimbledon this week, PLEASE, for the love of all things holy and pure, LET IT POUR TOMORROW. I want to see a frickin' wet race this season!
And that would work well for Wimbledon too, which shall be at the same time as the F1 race. That way the Final will be put off with a rain delay and I can watch that after everything's wrapped at Silverstone.
I'll be going for Nadal, of course, because I don't like Federer, due to the fact that he wins too much.
So, yup, I'm rooting for SPANIARDS tomorrow. I really need to learn the language because, along with Pedrosa in MotoGP, I really do support many Spanish athletes (and not to mention Montoya in NASCAR, who's Columbian but Spanish-speaking nonetheless). I did do Spanish for a month once, but because I don't want to embarrass myself, I'll just say it in English:
GO ALONSO & NADAL!!!
And here's hoping I'll hear the following in merry ol' England tomorrow ;D:
Spanish National Anthem
With my luck though (not that my luck has ANY influence on these athletes), Hamilton and Federer will likely come away with wins *groan*.
Moving on... Does anyone else watch My Name is Earl? I've just discovered it and I cannot adore it more. I came late to it because I initially pretty much turned my nose up at it for being 'redneck.' Just goes to show how much I know, huh? It really is greatly funny and quite heartwarming. I'm glad I found it. We're still on episode 5, but it's showing five days a week, so I'll catch up soon :).
NASCAR is in Daytona tomorrow!!! Here's hoping that it NOT rain over there ;). I'll probably watch the start of it in the morning before my mom drags us all to Church.
