What sucks here is that one of our TV stations has every intention of showing the tennis matches but the weather in China won't cooperate! I hope it gets better tomorrow, they have so many games to get through!

And the beach volleyball's awesome! I know what you mean about the good songs being cut short and the dancing girls, but it's really the sand that amuses me for some strange reason!

Anybody else want to offer a large slashy thanks to whomever keeps setting up the calendar so Rafa plays before Rogi? It seems like when Rafa wins, that pushes Roger.

Tomorrow (starts at 4pm Beijing time):
Nadal vs. Andreev (Court 1, 1st match)
Federer vs. Berdych (Centre Court, 2nd match)

WTF? We have representatives for shooting?
Man, oh man, I haven't seen anything good from the Olympics as of yet... or maybe none to top the epic opening, but jeez.

Oh Bella, god bless you. You sure do know how to make me happy first thing in the morning, when I opened up my mailbox and saw these pictures in high-res, I thought I was still dreaming, lol!

Oh my Rafa, you're such a little exhibitionist! ♥
