LHK Sporting News

Okay, after a little break, I'm back to my sports. Check out these links for some nice updates on Robby Ginepri and John Terry/Chelsea FC.

Despite setbacks and losses this seaon, both seem to be exhibiting more hunger to win, so I can't give up on them.

New Music (&DVD) Tuesday

Only a couple of items sort of caught my eye:

P.S. Is it just me or does the lead singer of Goldfrapp look like one of the Olsen twins on that album cover?

Random Candy

To start the week off right and to wish my friends Demi and Kip a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY, I present you with some random candy to enjoy:

Give me a break!

The final whistle has blown, and Chelsea just lost the Carling Cup to Tottenham (1-2 in extra time). I'm spent...

By the way, Robby Ginepri lost in the semi-final of the SAP Open yesterday.

It hasn't been a good weekend in the world of LHK sports. So, I'm taking a much-needed break from it all for a little bit...

Carling Cup

Chelsea vs. Tottenham in the FINAL of the Carling Cup (right now on Setanta)!

Come on, Chelsea!!!!!

Tennis & Music

Robby Ginepri beat James Blake tonight at the SAP Open!! Yay, Robby!

Speaking of tennis, Sophie and I went to the Temple Bar tonight to see our favorite cardio tennis instructor, Jensen, perform his alternative-rock-rap-hybrid music. Although rap isn't really my thang, all I can say is BRAVO to Jensen for being so passionate and getting out there.

Another Pretty Match!

Tomorrow (Friday), Robby Ginepri meets James Blake in the quarterfinals of the SAP Open in San Jose. They just played last Saturday in Delray, but let's see if Gineps can beat Blake this time. Go Robby! Unfortunately, I don't think this particular eye-candy match will be televised on the Tennis Channel; boo!

Wanna Be on Top?

Look out! Cycle 10 of America's Next Top Model starts tonight (on the CW at 8pm)!!

The Champions!

UEFA Champions League is back in action with Round of 16 matches starting today! Chelsea takes on Olympiacos (live on Setanta at 11:30am). Go Blues!

P.S. The gang and I saw IN BRUGES the other day at the Vista. Despite it's lame ending, it was a pretty good and quirky movie. Colin Farell provided the eye-candy, and the $5 matinee tix were a steal, so I can't really complain...

Happy Birthday, Hatch!

Happy Birthday to my Brosef!

And, Happy Birthday to Laddie McFresh too!

P.S. Chelsea has drawn Barnsley, who recently stunned Liverpool, in the quarterfinals of the FA Cup.

Random LHK News

1) Congrats to Frank Lampard on scoring a century of goals (now 101) during Chelsea's 3-1 win over Huddersfield Town yesterday. The game also featured the return and excellent play of my beloved John Terry! Yay!

2) The gang and I had some karaoke fun last night at a new restaurant in Korea-town called La Defence. We booked a private room with a big rectangular booth and drank/ate/sang the night away in honor of our friend (and local football player) Laddie McFresh's birthday. The food and service were very good, and the karaoke videos were SOOOOO hilarious!

3) In tennis news, Robby Ginepri lost to James Blake yesterday in the semi-final of the Delray Beach International. Robby was playing so well, and he was actually ahead in both sets, but eventually lost in 2 sets (6-4, 6-4). I'm heart-broken for Robby, but I was SO happy to just see him back in action (looking as foxy as ever of course)! James Blake's final against Japanese teen Kei Nishikori airs this morning at 10:30am PST on Tennis Channel.

4) I'm off to see IN BRUGES later today. I'll let you know how it is...

Soccer & Tennis today

2) Then, in a huge semi-final match at the Delray Beach International, Robby Ginepri takes on James Blake (live on Tennis Channel at 4pm PST)!! Talk about a supreme eye-candy match-up; MEYOWZA!

Chelsea & the Broad!

1) Chelsea takes on Huddersfield Town in FA Cup action tomorrow morning with my BELOVED John Terry due back in the line-up (Sat. Feb. 16th on FSC at 9am PST). Go Blues!

2) The gang and I checked out the Broad Contemporary Art Museum tonight. It's a modern structure right next to LACMA that you can't miss. There's a lovely cluster of lampposts at the entrance on the sidewalk on Wilshire Blvd. I definitely need to go back one more time to catch some of the artists I missed, but from the artists I did see, my favorite was probably Ed Ruscha. Thank you to Lady Lorelei for inviting us...

Happy Birthday, Dogg!

Happy Birthday to the one-and-only EJL (aka Dogg aka Merlin)!

"If I wanna ride a zebra, I'm gonna ride a zebra!"

P.S. Check out THE SMALL HOURS tonight at a free show at Safari Sam's!
