We still love you, Andy!
"It's always tough but the good thing about tennis is there's always next week. It's not like we're an Olympic sport where we have to wait another four years."
I cannot fathom to watch any more Australian Open. I missed the Manny Pacquiao-Erik Morales match (well, either way, I was going to miss it...I hate boxing) to watch Andy Roddick lose to a Cyprus unseeded player on the Fourth Round, who stupidly said he was "going to sleep with her girlfriend" that night. Whatever Baghdatis! And his supporters are so fucking loud and obnoxious. I actually felt sorry for the audience behind the mass of men taking off their clothes at any given moment.
I just feel so sad for Andy, and I was expecting him to go head to head with Roger Federer in the finals. Guess that won't happen. I hope he does better in the French Open or in Wimbledon.
Well, enough about that.
Tests. I thought I my grades were going to suck, but I guess I was wrong. Even my Filipino grade was acceptable. I just hope my report card can give me as much happiness.
Field trip is a few days away. The bus ride is almost always enjoyable, so I'm definitely excited about that.
Before I start to babble on, all Harry Potter fans everywhere should see this portrait. It was done by a very talented fan artist named Marta...and you can see more of her work in the main site. You'll love it. If you have a slow connection, be patient...'cause it's absolutely worth it!
The Potterverse.
Okay...since I like talking about music. I'll put a list of artists/albums highly recommended by me in most of my posts. If you think it's so tacky I'm doing this...skip this and just shut it.
You Should Listen To...
Walk the Line - I know the movie's not out here yet...but critics have been raving about this movie, and I really wanted to check out the material. It's actually pretty good. You'd never expect Joaquin Phoenix and Reese Witherspoon to sing that well. You should really check out the album. My favorites here are "It Aint Me Babe," which is a Johnny Cash/June Carter Cash duet, sung perfectly well by Joaquin and Reese. I also like "Wildwood Flower," by Reese Witherspoon, and "It's All Right Mama," by Tyler Hilton (of One Tree Hill fame. Yes...he's in the movie. He plays Elvis. Hah!)
Avenue Q - My cousin introduced me to this. It's hysterical! It's a Broadway musical that has puppets. Sounds corny, but it's really good. The first one I really liked was "The Internet is for Porn," but the best one is most definitely "Everyone Is A Little Bit Racist." It's fuckin funny! Go download that.
