Tennis in LA!

The Farmers Classic (part of the US Open Series) got underway yesterday at the LA Tennis Center on the UCLA campus!

Robby Ginepri (a wild card and coming back from injury) played and lost to Yen-Hsun Lu in the first-round yesterday afternoon, and I WASN'T THERE to see him!

I had a lot of work to do and didn't feeling like ditching the office early on a Monday afternoon. Also, I was kind of feeling frugal and didn't want to spend $40 (for a ticket + parking). Wait, what is wrong with me? 

One of my ALL-TIME favorite players is playing in my home-town on the campus of my alma mater, and I couldn't get it together to go?!? I need to re-examine my priorities! I HATE it when my job subconsciously interferes with one of my life's main pleasures.

Maybe it's a sign of maturity (i.e. putting work first; saving $) or maybe I need try harder to find a job that includes something I love (e.g. tennis, soccer, male models).  In any case, I'm definitely going to the tourney on Wednesday (tomorrow), no matter what the draw. I already gave the powers-that-be a heads-up at work, and I'm going to take advantage of the book donation promotion to get a free ticket.

I'm going to pay for convenient parking though. Hahahahaha!

Currently Reading

This is a short book, filled with typos. In the very first sentence, the author gets John Terry's birthday wrong. Hmmmpf!!!

Take Your Shirts Off!

The gals at Kickette, like all Lady Hooligans, are against the rule where soccer players get a reprimanded with a yellow card for ripping off their jerseys! Check out comment #15:

Countdown to World Cup!

I'm more of an Adidas girl, but I have to give props to Nike for this awesome commercial.

Anglophilia

My anglophilia is really flaring up strong these days. I finally finished reading a book called The Anglo Files: A Field Guide to the British
I just watched an amazing movie that I highly recommend called This is England
I'm currently reading a book about Chelsea FC's first black first-team player called Black and Blue
Finally, my pals and I are getting together tonight to watch some british comedy shows (and of course FA Cup games are on this weekend)!
