(no subject)
I want to post about the Globe and As You Like It and Jamie Parker and Philip Bird playing a serious character and an awesome cast and I want to squee but oh...
...
I think maybe today the cycling killed my squee.
Or, no, tiredness killed my squee and the news from the Tour just sort of buried it and WOW do I have to stop talking like this because someone actually died today. Tried to cross the road and got run down by one of the motorcycles and all the riders not busy sniping at each other over team tactics and sprint lines are twittering about how horrible and surreal it was to ride past a body. The poor family. It's just beyond horrible.
And it turns out yesterday some utter *censored* took pot shots at the riders with an air rifle and hit two of them!
Added to those the fact that Astana and Garmin and AG2R and Columbia and everyone seems busy blaming each other for George Hincapie not being in yellow (oh my god guys just SHUT UP and think for 5 minutes, he's a good guy but you can't have whole peleton riding for him/letting him win!) oh and Cav got DQ'd from the sprint and relegated to last place in the stage... honestly I can't tell from the replays but I do think the DQ was a step too far, he's not wavering madly or deliberately cutting Thor out, swap their places if you must but a DQ?
*sighs heavily*
Right. I'm going to find some chocolate and then come back and be cheerful about the Globe *is determined*
