Back in sunny Reading

Squeefest was so good - my favourite one so far and not just because of the copious amounts of cake, but because of every single person there being essentially a bag of awesome. *massive group hug to all, love, tears of pure joy etc*

Now we are back and getting into the swing of slorming about and drinking tea. I think we're going to see Wall E tonight, and I might make pizza, and tomorrow we are going to rent a car.

My obsession with tennis continues. YES. Today, Roger Federer is playing his first round game in the Cincinnati Masters series. He crashed out of the Toronto Masters horribly last week, to everyone's shock and much doomsaying about his career being in freefall. I can't hardly bear to look at the news to see what happens with him today, as I think he is playing pretty much right now. The pressure on him to not fail is enormous. Gah. I just can't watch.

I don't think he's playing for a while yet. Gasquet and Llodra are into their second set, then it's Moya v Tipsarevic (vamos Moya!), then Rogi V Ginepri.

As for Rogi, well. Let's see where his head is at.

Arrgh. I don't think his head can be anywhere good now, can it?

Heh. Glad it wasn't just me. I was getting blushy.

*offers Hangar One, chilled, straight*

Daddy-BF was cutting them down on the other side of the draw for his Prince Anointed, wasn't he? I still say if he hadn't had to do the double Russian beatdown the day before - BOTH in ONE DAY, for GD's sake - he would have whipped Murray's butt.

O Rogelio. Looking serene and beautiful: http://tennisworld.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/2008/07/30/rog.jpg

oh roger. why does he keep breaking my heart?

[emungere.livejournal.com]

He is right now tied with this random guy who is ranked like 64th! TIED. WTF Roger, unacceptable!

[emungere.livejournal.com]

And by unacceptable, just to clarify, I mean he needs to beat this guy's ass hard, and not in a fun way!

O THANK GOD

[emungere.livejournal.com]

SRSLYOMG.

much doomsaying about his career being in freefall.

Only in sport, seriously. Because nothing stinks of abject failure more than being runner-up at Wimbledon....

[louiselux.livejournal.com]

I know! It seems so unfair, when he played so amazingly.

[moshesque.livejournal.com]

Rafa will console him, take heart in that. Glad you got back safely! It's very strange adjusting to normal life, post-squee. :)

[louiselux.livejournal.com]

It is a bit less sad for me as I have daegaer and our continued gallivanting.

It was absolutely great to meet you in person. :)

[toscas-kiss.livejournal.com]

Glad you guys had a good time! :-)

Hey, do you want to come over Saturday evening for dinner and cocktails? Puddingcat is also going to be there. How about 6-7? I'd offer you a bed to stay over, but they will all be taken, as well as sofa.
