I should stop working, Tennis results of awesome, Weird conversations

I went to work at 8:45 AM and came back at 10 PM. Argh. It's because my stuff is too slow. Because at work I read half of Book 7 of the Narnia series, stalked tennis scores, spent time talking to labmates and friends, watched the MLS All-Star Game, and spaced out. But I guess other people don't even try to work this hard, so it's my own loss. Only one week left! There's only so much I can do, but I hate not finishing things...

Well, talking about tennis, this week has been very interesting. And overall very good. Unfortunately Mario Ancic couldn't be a part of the very good, losing to Frank Dancevic in the first round and being sick for the millionth time. But Marin! He is in a quarter final and is set to face French hottie, Indy tournament winner, and Federer-beater Gilles Simon! I feel like Gilles is going to win it based on experience and Marin's tendency to choke when he has great opportunities like this, but of course it's MARIN ALL THE WAY! AJMO! Novak, meanwhile, is back on track and so is Andy Murray. They will also face each other in the QF! Now please win Richard.

Also, Jelena has a chance to get #1 in the world. It's cool and everything, but I just think that Ana and Jelena will be flip-flopping for the rest of the year. And once Ana and Jelena both have their #1 stint, they can concentrate on real things - Grand Slams! Rankings are only good for entry into tournaments (like please Marin keep winning so you can be seeded) and otherwise it's not too important. It's like your body weight - it keeps track of things but it isn't the most important thing in the world.

Anyway, on to more fun! So my roommate was like "So you think Eastern European guys are hot...what is it about them?" And I don't know how the hell to explain it. Seriously, me about judging hotness? You are asking the wrong person. For me I think it is the cheekbones, but it was awkward and yeah. He asked me about actors and actressed and I was like "Um..." So my ass is being kicked for not watching enough movies - whatever. Tennis is my life, and I have a thing for athletes so actors aren't always as hot. So yeah I fail at that conversation but it was interesting considering I was trying to form my top 10 list of hottest guys playing right now on the ATP tour. And miserably failing at that. Well for me Mario is #1, and Marat has to be there, along with Novak and Richard. Maybe Gilles Simon, Fernando Verdasco... I will make a list soon, I promise. And you may enjoy it, maybe.
