I want it to be tomorrow so I have an excuse to use this icon other than GIP. It should really be a picture from Wimbledon considering how many of them there are but they're all on my other computer and I'm too lazy to wade through the crap on my desk to turn it on.

I should really get showered and dressed because there's some sort of carnival going on in the park behind our house today and I should actually check it out at some point. Except, I started watching The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor and while I watched it on the plane to Oz and was unimpressed, it's a lot better on a big screen where you can actually admire the pretty effects.

Plot is still not up to much but. Pretty effects! And Brendan Fraser who is still adorable in these movies. It's enough to keep me here on the sofa even without Oded Fehr or a plot that makes some semblence of sense.

(I mean, yetis? I don't know why I find that harder to buy than you know, two thousand year old mummies and armies of dead people but YETIS?

...Did I rant about this after I saw it on the plane? It's entirely possible.)

Okay it's finished. I should probably go do something.

I HAVE RAGE AT ANDY RODDICK. PURE RAGE. FOR CHOKING ON THAT GAME. AND NOW YOU WILL LOSE THE SET AND I WILL HAVE TO ENDURE ANOTHER TWO SODDING DAYS OF "MURRAY GOING TO WIN WIMBLEDON YAYS!" BOLLOCKS.

I AM ENRAGED. ARRRRRRGGGGHHH.

I HAVE NO APPROPRIATE ICON FOR MY RAGE. THIS ENRAGES ME FURTHER.



I take it all back. I love you Andy Roddick. Really fucking love you.


I don't know how I'll get through tomorrow while I wait for Sunday. I really don't. This match-up is the reason I got into tennis. This day five years ago I was sitting back in Wales going "You know, I quite like these tennis guys. I should watch that final on Sunday; it'll be good."

I don't even care who wins. Don't even. I'm so happy. :DDDD

Cannot watch Andy frakkin' Roddick be stressful. Going to do something else now.

Holy crap this has turned into the most stressful Wimbledon match so far. >:-/

Post title in relation to this picture of Mardy Fish taken during his doubles match on Saturday )

Yes I did say it as soon as I saw the picture on the camera screen, and yes both me and [livejournal.com profile] kindoftrouble cracked up courtside. Don't think Mardy heard us though, which is good considering they definitely noticed us stalking their practice and then we were at courtside for their next two matches. Roger might disown me if I get labelled a crazy Mardy Fish stalker. :) (Mardy's also the only tennis player whose autograph I've had. Seriously, I need to start going to tennis where I can stalk Roger easier).

ALSO. [livejournal.com profile] scoobydumblonde, I've been meaning to say this for days but during Mardy/Blake's doubles match on Saturday they were on court fourteen which is overlooked by the balcony on the building where there're locker rooms, member lounges etc. You see players and coaches quite a lot if you keep on eye on the balconies and walkways around there and when I glanced up during Mardy's match I spotted someone I thought you might be interested in )

I'm sorry I didn't get a picture of him without his hand in front of his face (I mean I did; I caught the end of his match on court one so I do have proper pictures of him which I can email you when I get home) but not on the balcony because after a quick look over at Mardy's court he turned around to do a TV interview. Then they disappeared into the building and though I spotted him walking along the balcony again maybe twenty minutes later, he went too quick for me to get a clear picture.

But thought you'd like to know that he was there and seemed to at least check out Mardy's court. :) It was cute.

Oh Wimbledon. I love you more than Christmas, peach-flavoured iced tea and kittens all put together )

Hai! We are back for showers and stuff-dumpage because even after left luggage my bag was still too heavy. We got Court One tickets because there were ninety billion Aussies in front of us all wanting to see Lleyton Hewitt on Court Two. Hurrah for Aussies! We don't get Andy though due to some wtf scheduling but then, we might not have Court One tickets. So keep an eye out for us today. I think we're middleish-front.

So just to say the queue did not kill us, we actually got some sleep and now we are going to tennis. Yay!

Okay, I'm off to meet [livejournal.com profile] jesse_kips for muffins, to buy a sleeping bag, and then to Wimbledon to join the queue. Suspect I won't be back again today and maybe not until tomorrow night so have fun with the internets! Those of you with my mobile number, feel free to text me today's tennis results (esp. Roger) as otherwise I may pine for lack of tennis news. :)

To Wimbledon (but firstly; to muffins!)

So my parents went back to Wales this weekend for a wedding, and were calling at the house this morning to pick up post. In addition to a DVD from play.com I'd been wondering about (I really must change that address -_-), I also had my Wimbledon ballot letter. And I have two tickets! For Centre Court!

For the first Monday.

Any other year, this would've been a cause for celebration. I'd be running up and down the stairs shrieking with joy right now. This year, I'm wondering if I should bother, and not because I shouldn't be spending the money before Oz either.

Maybe I can smuggle some rotton fruit in. It'd be worth getting kicked out of Wimbledon for the moment of sheer satisfaction.

Edit: I TAKE IT ALL BACK, MY PARENTS JUST CALLED BACK TO SAY ACTUALLY, IT'S MONDAY *29TH*.

I apologise for contemplating throwing rotton fruit at Rafael Nadal. Really. Genuinely. From the bottom of my heart.

...Not really.

The downside is that the tickets for the second Monday are almost double the price of the first. :-/ Can I really afford that right now?
