One of the most accomplished sports writers at the most prestigious newspaper in the world was at Wimbledon during that tennis match on Sunday. His column from yesterday reads slightly like something I would have handed to Mrs. Deachman when I was 12, explaining why my homework wasn't done. I give you William C. Rhoden of the New York Times:

I have a tennis match on Thursday. Probably late, around 10pm, at the indoor courts at Jarry. My 40-something colleague Duc has challenged me. I have no idea yet how good or how bad he is, but the fact that he plays at the indoor courts at Jarry maybe gives me a hint ( Read more... )

So, I don't know how much I'll be checking LJ this week. I've been a bit slack about it lately, and, yeah. Just been like that - busy, y'know.

I'll recap.

Friday night, I played Gustavo at tennis. We both talked a big game all week long, but in the end, my superior skills set him aside 7-5. Oh, there'll be rematches. It was pretty fun, actually ( Read more... )

I found some Vanilla Coke at the bus station in Ottawa on Sunday, and I drank it last night. I miss Vanilla Coke.

Gustavo is proving to be quite the little trash-talker with regards to our upcoming tennis match, now rescheduled for Friday after work. I told him this morning that my match last night fell through, and that when I meet him on ( Read more... )

I know it's unlikely, but are any of you interested in going to the tennis tournament with me on Monday or Tuesday night? I realized Elizabeth couldn't make it. I don't have tickets yet or anything. I think it's $16...

Played tennis for the first time this season yesterday, and I'm stiff from it. Even though it wasn't that strenuous. I have been working out all winter, too, I'm just not used to that kind of stress on my joints, I guess ( Read more... )

Pretty quiet, pretty relaxed weekend. Didn't play any tennis, but I decided that I'll put off joining the Y until after tennis season's done. Pretty much just stayed in. Read newspapers. Went out to Amelio's on Friday night. I wish I could eat there every night ( Read more... )

I've listened to Franz Ferdinand now - a few songs since nightkitchen breathlessly praised 'em, and I honestly don't see what the big deal is. Sorry ( Read more... )

Fuck it, Internet Explorer. Your search feature has crashed me out for the last time. I'm going elsewhere. Anyone know of any decent, free, pop-up blocking software? I used to like Panicware, but they went all pay on me.

I'm not quite sure if this song is called Zombies, or called Zumpano. And obviously, then, I'm not sure whether it's by the ( Read more... )

We played tennis today for the first time in about three weeks. I've missed it. It's just been so damn hot. I was so drenched with sweat. Then, we had ice cream treats on the way home. That's a great afternoon in my books.

Wanna read something hilarious? Who wouldn't wanna be Deion Sanders?

If you're wondering, he won the case, somehow.
