clo_againI hate going to bed earlier in order to get up earlier. I never feel like I've slept as well as I do if I go to bed at 4am and get up at noon. But dissertation -- and creative writing, oh god it was meant to in yesterday and I need to go do that now -- calls.
Hamster met His Tonyness. I'd say I hope they mock him about it on Top Gear but they film Wednesdays and he met him on Thursday, so maybe the timing's off. And they can't do it the week after because this Sunday is the last episode. Sadness. I just hope they do something awesome to make up for the pitiful series run, or at least swear on a Bugatti Veyron that they'll be back in early summer as usual.
I should go wake up some more. Nnggghhh.
edit: Oh and this article sounds too good to be true. Nice, don't get me wrong; I'd love to legally be ablw to watch shows I missed online (except, not after I leave uni because our home internet is crap.) I'll just believe it when I see it happening.
dit: And another one. I'm not going to make much of a comment on the tennis fiasco over the RR format, because I think it speaks for itself. I'm sorry the players had to get caught up in it but I'm glad that, as all the fans said it would, the RR format is coming back to bite the organisers in the ass. You want to make tennis more popular, you don't do it by making it into a new game. All you get then are old fans leaving and if new ones happen to come along, they say "So how does this work?" and promptly leave when the old fans still around go "Um."
Marketing, tennis people. You want to be more popular, look at how football markets itself in this country. And possibly get Roger and Andy to have a fistfight, or Marat to be found sleeping with prostitutes or have Ljubicic arrested for murder, you know? ;) Any publicity is good publicity.
I would have fun organising an ad campaign for tennis, I really would.

Strip tennis and pudding matches. *nods* of course in the pudding matches they will have to make sure the balls don't hit the court that's made of pudding... or the balls could be balloons filled with pudding... or something. :-D
And would anyone really be shocked if Marat was caught sleeping with prostitutes? Even male ones?? I don't think so. ;-P

Date: 2007-03-06 12:11 pm (UTC)Yes. I'd move mountains to get to watch strip tennis, whereas right now I'm not so bothered about not getting to watch any of Indian Wells' early matches. We could experiment with different kinds of pudding match. Pick random rules out of a hat before the match so they don't know if they'll be playing on pudding or with pudding or eating pudding for every point they lose. We'd have to try everything. All in the name of making tennis a more popular sport, of course. :D
... This is true. If it made the headlines, people would probably just go "I knew it!" and then carry on as normal.
Maybe Roger. Though I think Roger gets sex from anyone on tour he wants it from, so maybe not.

Date: 2007-03-06 11:09 pm (UTC)*grin* I would walk from here to whereever they're having matches to watch strip tennis... especially if it was like Tommy versus Mardy or Andy versus Roger... *imagines Andy versus Roger and Andy losing as usual* Heee. I just want my four guys to do well. *pets Mardy, Tommy, Andy and Roger* Yes! We could experiment with different kinds of pudding too... and oooh, I know, the loser has to lick the pudding off the winner?? *ponders how sick Andy would get of licking Roger clean*
*grin* Exactly. They'd be like "Aha! Moron. Not supposed to get caught, but not surprised at all."
Roger with a prostitute would get attention... and maybe he'd finally get known enough in the US??
