A backhanded compliment...
Work is running me ragged at the moment, everybody is so busy. But hey, in this economic climate, it's quite comforting to be busy. It's the longest week I've had for a bit, and one of the most challenging, but it was good on Friday night to get a thanks and a well done from the boss. It keeps me motivated, I suppose.
God bless the red button, I just watched the replay of Rafa's 1st Round match. He was awesome. Forehands like bullets, backhands that just gravitated towards the lines like they were magnetic...speed and grace and power and oh, I have missed the tennis. But bring back the sleeveless shirts! And I don't know if you agree,miss_lollo but he also made a lot less noise? Which I missed too, because there's something comforting and rhythmic about those exulted groans as he hits the ball...Or maybe it's just me. I wonder if the semi-final against Murray will materialise...Early days.
A reasonable win for my lovely Arsenal at the weekend, hanging on in there somehow. When they did get their act together to go 2-1 and 3-1 they looked good. But maybe they just spoiled us back in 2003-4 and we're just too demanding. Not sure when I'll next be getting to a match but no doubt time will tell. Although I'm beginning to wonder if I will actually move this weekend, with no less than 5 football matches plus the tennis to devour. Oh and then there's the possibility of the Arshavin move. Please happen.
Just listening to Radio 1 Live Lounge Vol3. REM's Munich is great but it just isn't the same without Tom Smith's bleak, bleak drawl infusing all the sadness. Pendulum have turned Violet Hill (which I alreay loved) into an ecletic electro mish-mash to adore. Guillemots Black and Gold is nice too. I really should put all the music I got at Christmas into iTunes. And listen to half the CDs I bought last year that I haven't.
God, it's almost Wednesday already. Where do the weeks go?
