I really should not be proud of myself that I've merely managed to write and email a 300 343shutup word review before 12pm, because that's *it*, that's *all* I've done, including getting dressed and having breakfast. Mmm, breakfast. I think I've also managed to melt my brain with around 15 episodes (out of twenty six, not so bad) of Ghost in the Shell:SGA watched over about twenty four hours but it's that good melt, where the goo that remains thinks it might have to go out and acquire some more anime when it manages to resolidify itself. Not that I need more things to take up my time but hey, why waste time? Procrastinate now!

Roger lost. I'm considering those words from all angles with detatched curiosity. Roger. Lost. I've realised that it actually *does* matter who he loses to though, since I was much more upset when he lost to Nalbandian. I like Tommy, even if he did butcher his ponytail in horrible ways and it'll be interesting to see Andy who wins this now but... Roger lost. He didn't even put up much of a fight from the look of the scores. Fascinating.

Also, yes, upsetting but hey, Andy won. If Andy's in the final now then I will kick Fate into next week for stealing our Roger-Andy final from us but right now, I'm lost in that comfortable detached state of boggling. Roger. Lost. Hhhmmm.

Where o' where has scoobydumblonde gone? :-/

Ture. Although I find that I'm less surprised when it's against one of the younger guys, like Gasquet or Rafa, maybe because they're ... I don't know, less set in their ways, or something? They just seem to be able to muster up what it takes to beat him. I don't know, but I've seen Tommy play a dozen times and I would have never, ever thought he could beat Roger when Andy and Hewitt can't even do it. But you're right, Tommy had a great day, and he beat Coria today which kind of surprises me too, so maybe he's just on a hot streak. And maybe Roger's not. I'd only guess that since all the times I've seen him lose it's because he's missing something - motivation or his complete fitness, or whatever else.

Maybe there's just some weird quality you have to have to beat Roger. I don't really think it's any one thing because, comparing the guys who have managed to do it, none of their games are really even similar. Gasquet and Tommy? Hardly. It's just one of those phenomenons that us mere mortals will never fully understand.
