A little shout out to Feliciano Lopez. He has now reached a career high #15 ranking in the ATP. Hmmm, didn't think he had it in him but nonetheless I'm proud of him for it. It would be pretty big leap to get to the top 10 but definitely #13 and even #12 seem like reasonable goals. Congratulations and bravo Feli!!

Is there a reason why TSN neglected to air the fourth round Rafa/Feli Australian Open match? OK it may not have been the most competitive of matches but it was hands down the prettiest to look at. *sigh*

Yay...I won on Soccer Proline again. I would like to thank Udinese for that big victory over Inter and, for some bizarre reason, the huge odds they gave to Udinese.

Motivational speakers do absolutely nothing for me...although the one of the speakers used some clips from Kingdom of Heaven and Master and Commander. The only problem with that is I would have preferred to watch both of those ( Read more... )

Happy Ides (even though it wasn't a very happy one for Julius Caesar, so sayeth the soothsayer) - also known as my second New Year. Hope everyone is enjoying the early spring weather. We still have a few days until it's officially here but I'd like to be the first to say bye bye to winter. So long windchill factor, hello humidity warnings. Today ( Read more... )

So many emo moments this weekend - mostly Real Madrid related but still...( So long farewell, auf weidersehen good-bye... )

Two quick rants:

Aside from Rafa's victory at Indian Wells, the boys drove me crazy this weekend. First the good. TENNIS. I finally got to see Rafa play after what seems like ages. I watched the IW final...live...and I didn't once cave to go searching for a cheering thread to get me through 'the difficult spells' (mostly because there were NO DIFFICULT SPELLS). It ( Read more... )
