I missed a lot of the tennis today as I had work in the evening but I did manage to watch the Hewitt - Brown match up which ended with the underdog winning. Brown is a very much unknown German player, this was his 8th game in a large tournament and his 14th on grass which made everyone think 'where the hell has he been hiding?' because he played like a genius. He made it look pretty easy and for someone with such a slight frame, he had some power behind him. I do find it a little annoying when the commentators say 'why has he only just started winning games now?' because everyone comes into their game at the own time. Maybe he just had a really good day and he'll come down off of his high and loose in the next round. Its like the match that put Nadal out, the victor pulled out today due to injury and he played like a genius on Monday. Sometimes you have a good day where no one would beat you.
No surprises when Murray went through to the third round, massive upset as Roger Federer went out. Tsonga pulled out due to injury in the 4th set of his match. The massive Cilic pulled out with injury as well. Sharapova said she lost because she was injured and because court 2 was 'too dangerous.' Some people can't just accept that on the day they lost. Fair enough if you were injured but don't start blaming the court. So far 7 people have pulled out in total and this is really weird for me because most Wimbledon's, most players are fine but.. This year everyone is! Apparently players pull out all the time but I never see that as I can't see any other tournaments. My sheltered sports life.
Enough tennis for now. Although I didn't get up to much today.
First things first, breakfast and sit down with Amy where we watched some of 'Your Grammar Sucks' which you should check out too, its quite funny. Then I took her to school, as per norm. When I got it, I walked to my Mums school to drop off some trainers and socks because it was sports day and she went in sandals.. Not going to happen.
When I got in I decided to set up my Xbox to try and 'farm' for an achievement on FF13-2 to win 10,000 casino coins. This takes ages because the slot machines are quite temperamental and the other way to win coins takes just as long to set up. People have said just use some elastic bands to hold down the left bumper then walk away and leave it. If you're lucky you'll get the achievement as the wins come in. No such luck for me. I left it for about 6 hours and.. I guess I will have to try again tomorrow. I hate luck based achievements.
While that was going on, I laid on my bed and watched some videos on my Netbook - which is where this post is coming to you from - as I saw I had lots to catch up on last night before I went to sleep. I thought it would go well with me trying to farm that achievement as I didn't really need to be there to do anything. I ended up getting really comfy at the start of a video that was about 40 minutes long.. And started dozing.. I had 3,000 coins when I managed to fall asleep accidentally, I woke up right as the video ended and I saw I then had 12,000 so I thought luck might be on my side but as I've already said - no.. I then went on a massive loosing streak for the rest of the day.
As for the post I mentioned possibly doing, I was planning to do that on the iPad as I could move around the house and add to it willy nilly but we forgot about it. We shall see if I do it tomorrow depending on what happens. I would like to do this post as I have a lot of random knowledge sitting in my head about space that some people may find interesting.
The picture at the bottom is one from last year, I had a good dig through the phones photos to find this one. It's my cat thinking that sleeping in soil will make him grow big and strong. Like a lion. Or it was just warm. I like to think it was the whole lion thing!
Thanks for reading and I shall blog you later. Share this with one person - I dare you.
