:bigcry: :bigcry: "But, mom, you don't understand, they gave him some pills but he was having so much pain...." :bigcry: :bigcry:
He's worse than me, the future is secured :lol:
My admiration for Rafa knows no boundary, I'm battling a lumbar condition since September which practically made me half crippled and suck out all the joy of life from me and he is going on in a Slam final with a broken back
I was at the gym at noon, and the coach there (well known "figure" in Lausanne) said he quite knows Wawrinka and he's not exactly the most charming person it seems. He said he goes shop in supermarkets here and when kids ask for autographs he just walks past and ignore them completely. Also he said one time he saw him in a bar in town, and some guy (drunkie) started arguing with him and instead of ignoring him/leaving he replied angrily "you know who you are talking to, you bastard?" always take those comments with a pinch of salt but seeing how he threw that tantrum on twitter for an internet connection being down for an hour I wouldn't be too surprised...
Horrible weather also in the US. So JM, don't be mean to Star, she might be in trouble, snow predicted even in the southern regions almost down to Florida.
In much of Canada too. We've received more than twice the usual amount of snow for the month of January. I'm used to a bit of snow, having it melt completely, and then getting more. Not this winter! I'm sick of shovelling my driveway!
Cool picture. Many schools in my region have closed but not those in my city/county. It's unusually cold and snowy though. We're in that "polar vortex," as they're calling it. At least we know what to do with snow, but some southern US states aren't used to cold and snow at all!
My home basketball team is fucking done, some of my wta players are done, some of my atp players are done.......im fucking done....pathetic just pathetic....
Oh yeah, the Petra upset, and Laura... not good results but what can you do. I was also upset about the gorgeous Goerges losing but she's just coming back, I like her a lot too.
Hilde, I swear there was Naudio Spalantine's (Dee's) post about her being done with all the sports above mine last night. That's why I started talking to her. I swear I'm not that crazy yet. :lol:
Now, if I had been invited to open the new thread, I may have considered returning - return of the king, so to speak - but since history took another turn, it can never be.

No-one here to livescore much lately. You can post in the tournament thread or here if the chat residents don't mind, looks like no-one was posting during the match anyway.
Haha, so you watched live? I am too old and cowardy these days for that. But yeah looks like he played well. I'm gonna watch some of it later too when I'll finish cleaning the house so cya later.
Btw Evita, we are threatened with -25 C nights next week, now where is the healed-from-the-flu Metis with her +16 C in Athens. Btw my skin does NOT like this cold.

And I was not trying to jinx Selby, the guy is the Nadal of snooker, he never gives up, he is well known for his spectacular comebacks especially against Ronnie who doesn't have the most steady brain, to say the least
Ronnie calls him "The Torturer" in his memories, enough said, we were all scared shit
PS: just read in The Times, aparently Ronnie and Selby are "barely on speaking terms" :haha:
I don't do that with other sports either or even with other tennis players (if only occasionally some great matches) but with Rafa I just... ya know. Blame Safin for killing all my nerves, and Nole 2011, before that Rafa used to be such a good kid, always winning. :angel: :lol:
Don't have even Mike with his couch any more.
And no I don't have time to watch full replays either.
Today to be honest I just couldn't watch live, had to clean the house and cook, not that I was nervous about Clownfils beating him actually.
Off now again, have a good weekend everyone!
Oh joy, my idol 2003 is back again!
I simply cannot miss his threads!
Also for A., H. and other ladies - are men more shallow than women, and of course the icing on the cake about Janowicz being a one-tournament wonder. Brought me back to GM in no time.
Ronnie has to thank you for jinxing the hell out of his opponent on twitter, A.
Tight match full of drama against Kei, so it seems. GM will be a mess once again (but then again, it would be more newsworthy if GM isn't a mess).
The news about tennis is almost non-existant here since the Belgians are not exactly a force to be feared in top tennis these days after the Clijsters-Henin era. The result is that the only news you hear about the slams these days is when an important player loses early:
So, two days ago, I woke up to the news that Serena crashed out.
Now, I woke up to the news that Sharapova lost.
---> shitty way to cover sports news. Only focusing on the losses.

Apparently, it's Blue Monday today. Let's cheer you people up with the song I drove my parents and siblings nuts with when I was a little girl:
(yes, the guy singing it looks like a freak. At least, I never liked him but when I was a toddler, I just focused on the blue creatures)
It's a good thing that there was no youtube back then because the smurfs look awful in that clip. I had this record (with more smurfsongs) on vinyl and since I wasn't allowed near the record player, I had to ask somebody else to put the album on. Since everybody just hated the album, there was some serious begging from my part involved.
Anyway, they cheered me up when I was little. :shrug:
I saw a bit of Nadal's match while getting ready for work. It was definitely a worse performance than against Monfils
Hilde, that Wikipedia link says that scientists think this is nonsense :lol: Anyway, since it got properly cold last week it's been very sunny so no depression for me And that song is cute :shrug: Even though it ends in the middle
My newspaper explained that it has something to do with the new year's resolutions being a bust by now (third week of the year) + the holiday and summer is still far away, it's still quite dark outside and Mondays are usually days to feel a bit down due to it being the beginning of another work week.
I believe it's almost a self-fulfilling prophecy, if you know what I mean.
--> if enough people tell you that today, there's cause to be depressed even if you have no reason to feel that way.
I love the smurfs. :inlove: They are such a big and happy part of my childhood.
