the other big thing that happened on sunday and it somehow didn't even involve gale's manly beard
Took a break from QAFconpocolypse happenings to catch a re-airing of the French Open final and omg.
RAFA WON! RAFA WON! RAFA WON!
His EIGHTH one there, breaking records.
Also, that protestor scared the crap outta him and me both.
Poor Rafa. D: Looks like he was trying to scurry away when the guy came running toward his side of the court and Rafa had to veer away. Love that he appreciatively patted then shook the security guard's hand after the idiot was tackled; he pushed him away at first when it was happening lol. (Poopie, I can't find the handshake bit on YT, but it happened!) But when the security guy first ran up to Rafa? It was all v. Secret Service Protecting the President-y. I can be all :D about it now, but at the time I was all PROTECT THE RAFA DDDDD: !!!!!
And all this coming after the first protest in the stands. Protesting what? Gay couples marrying and adopting children.
Hang on...
...lemme enjoy watching you getting tossed to the ground a couple more times, hmph.
"I felt a little bit scared at the first moment because I didn't see what's going on. I just turned there and I watch a guy with some fire," Nadal said. "It's one of those things that nobody can prevent."
Actually, it was preventable and that still bugs me. How in the hell did he get into the stadium with a flare, not to mention make it onto the court. Sigh. Upside: That's gonna be my new go-to phrase now. "I was doing dishes... AND THEN A GUY WITH SOME FIRE!"
ANYWAY. YAY RAFA WON. \:D/
(But poor David, I felt bad for him. :( )
