Sunday was a day of bests for 2011....

First off, Davis Cup ended exactly as predicted...a Spanish victory. It was pretty much the best sporting event I've seen this year - and definitely the best tennis in a year that was more or less dominated by Novak Djokovic (who is not exactly one of my favs). Bonus, the Ramos was in attendance in Sevilla and ( Read more... )

Last night on American Idol, the contestants performed #1 songs from Billboard. Miley Cyrus served as mentor to the group. A lot of people would argue that at 17 she may not exactly be the ideal candidate to serve as a mentor but in all fairness she is a successful musician and, let's face it, a good number of the candidates are around her age. I'm ( Read more... )

It's the second last day for Dave (aka hot intern who looks like Cesc/Iker) at my workplace so we are going out for lunch today. It couldn't come at a worse time. I am so busy I really can't afford to take two hours out of my day to have lunch...even if it is The Keg.

Here is the latest on the usual suspects...( Real Madrid, TV, tennis, novels... )

There are only three more episodes of Heroes this season :-/ Frankly I can't even remember what happened. Did anything significant occur other than getting to see Martha Stewart Sylar? At least Lost does progress to a certain extent with its plot lines (or at least it seems like it does) but Heroes appears to have no direction at all. Oh dear, a ( Read more... )

As much as I don't want to dwell on those games yesterday, I need a catharsis and I'm sorry LJ, you will be my source for venting.

First, Real Madrid. Granted they were completely outplayed from start to finish, and if it weren't for Iker's miraculous saves the final score could have been a lot worse. The issue with this game for me though was those ( Read more... )

Wednesday night TV scheduling has become a bit of a hassle....at 8 PM is American Idol, pop-up Lost and America's Next Top Model. At 9 PM is new Lost and Nip/Tuck. Because of the two hour premiere of ANTM last night I was only able to watch snippets of the season premiere of Nip/Tuck which kind of ruined the night for me. Granted although the show ( Read more... )

This meme is for niviene  who so desperately needs the ideal vacation island:( Lady Croft should be in... )

The Aussie Open draw is out. Rafa's lineup isn't THAT bad:

• Possible 4th Round opponents: Gasquet, Hewitt (wow, has his ranking ever dropped!!!??) or Gonzalez (he's the biggest threat IMO - this is one of the few tournaments he actually does well at)
• Possible QF opponents: Monflis, Almagro, Youzhny (EEEEK....Monfils *facepalm*)
• Possible SF opponents:  ( Read more... )

Fans of the TV series LOST, take note...the series is scheduled to return on January 21st with a recap show at 8 PM followed by two new one hour episodes. I am praying the show is as good this year as it was last season.

Dreadful news out of the Real Madrid camp today....
"Following an exploratory arthroscopic operation on Wednesday, it was ( Read more... )
