I've been a little preoccupied lately...

with the upcoming soccer games this weekend. The big EPL games are this Sunday at 7am. In order for Chelsea to win the league, Chelsea needs to win their game versus Bolton, and Manchester United needs to tie or lose theirs against Wigan. It's very stressful, but all I can say is

COME ON, CHELSEA!

In other LHK sporting news:

1) Rafa Nadal lost in the second round of Rome Masters earlier this week. I'm not surprised since his clay court schedule seems impossible; at least he lost to fellow Spaniard and hottie, Juan Carlos Ferrero...

2) Bravo to Dinara Safina (Marat's younger sister) for beating Justine Henin and then Serena Williams to make it to the semi-finals of the Berlin Open!

3) In other (potential) upsets, Roger Federer is currently trailing Radek Stepanek in the quarters of the Rome Masters (6-7, 3-4). But, Roger's on serve now and will probably switch to a higher gear. So, we'll see... But, it would be so nice to see someone other than Federer win the tournament now that Rafa's out.
