damn. nadal pushed to 5th set after winning the first two. and this italian is just making all his shots and running him all over the court. nadal as always working twice as hard to less effect.

also, ive watched too much tennis today. fourth match. this is why its best to wait until the second week. im sure not to care by the end of the tournament unless they are cant miss matchups. although the serena slam will keep me invested on the womens side should she make it through.

"I worked hard not to make him an asshole but to make him an idiot, which is a different thing. An asshole is an idiot who thinks not caring if you love him is adorable. Whereas an idiot doesn't know that what he's doing is alienating you. He wants you to love him still.")

watching a bit of this murray - kyrgios match. kyrgios at 20 has the potential to be the next big thing or could end up as a supremely talented head case. and as much as the powers that be cluck at his uncouth behavior im sure secretly they are hoping he brings some fresh excitement and attention to the game. but if the big four didnt raise the games profile over the last decade i doubt a pair of pink sneaks, churlishness and a mohawk will make that much of a difference.

can it be called a successful 6 mile bike ride when i got 1.75 liters of whiskey and 3 oversized cookies enroute? to be fair two of those cookies were free. to be less generous i got them to open the door to the bakery with some minor beseeching after they had closed. but again, to be fair, they were closing up 20 minutes early. the only two things i really regret -- the quality of the whiskey and not tipping the cookiegivers better. i think we can easily deduce the square root of that equation. and, no, i was not good at math.
