Sep. 8th, 2014 07:06 pm- god, i never even watched this show past s2 and i remember so little, but i still love this scene sfm. idky. it just made this mega huge impression. there's something in the way the lines are delivered. hugh laurie plays it perfectly. "People pray so that God won’t crush them like bugs. I’m not gonna crush you." perfect.
- i'm so proud of myself for achieving my goal of reading more. i've read 29 books this year so far! i do feel like i'm succeeding in turning it into a real habit rather than a holidays/whenever the mood strikes thing.
what disappoints me is that even though i've been overall lucky with the books i'm reading (most of them either entertain me or reach out to some part of me or both!), i don't actually feel like my mind has improved. it feels about the same. which makes me wonder if perhaps i just have a low intellectual ceiling and thee's just... not much one can do about that. like my many faults, it's a die, reincarnate, hope for a better draw in the next life situation.
- i remember this interview where brad gilbert was asked about watching rafa play in 2003 ('04?) and his thoughts. he was asked about the hype, if it was merited. and he said something like, "oh, he's coming. he's coming like a freight train!"
i feel like whenever ppl talk about the "next gen" of tennis, atp or wta, they aren't talking about the next gen at all. they're wondering when the next freight train is coming along and wondering about that rather than the actuality is just so damn frustrating.
no, cilic and nishikori are prolly not going to be the next federer/nadal/djokovic or even murray. it doesn't matter.
