i have no clue what's going on at the australian open.

Every time I got to Ezekiel I was like, I feel like I could play that, I really feel like this whole idea of coming into a family, if you will, is something I wasn’t used to. Back home, it’s just me and my mum. So I have a very small family and to sort of play a character who’s now coming into a new, bigger family, for me it wasn’t just a job. It really was an experience for me to kind of get to do that.

* WORLD LEADERS POSING WITH KOALAS

- 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.

c&p tl;dr oldskool l&o thoughts.

* i've been thinking of downloading the federer/djokovic IW final for 3 days now, but this seems like nothing but an invitation to risk my already precarious up/down ratio at T3 for a match i'll delete as soon as i finish watching.

* i wish i could say my obsession with true detective had something to do with how beautifully shot it was or how engaging the story is, but in all honesty i'm just really thirsty for rust cohle.

you'll find me being all derisive of the whole asshole brooding hunx who need a hug obsession with the best of them, but in my case it comes from a place of self-hatred because i am not actually any better.

right after "it's all one ghetto, man. giant gutter in outer space." i was already like, Y E S. let's.

i keep getting attached to the wrong characters. marathoned s1 of house of cards up until episode 7 and my favorite? zoe. (a character that i understand wasn't very popular? ahahahaha double check! my taste is the worst. i lead a young, ambitious fictional women attracted to overbearing old men in positions of power appreciation life, WHAT CAN I SAY.)

i think i'll just quit and start on true detective. the spoilers i've read for the rest of s1 and s2 are a bit too wild for me (w h a t @ the 3some thing with the driver) and i can see myself getting sick of frank sooner rather than later. i was close to done with him... until the cunnilingus scene. i'm a big fan of that scene, i'm ngl.

i hope the last episode of the show reveals that frank's actually satan. so much about house of cards reminded me of devil's advocate.

... lemme go find the opening sequence on youtube, i miss it already.
