Bordering on Obsession

Dad called me to announce that Nalbandian was losing. But I informed him that he had already lost. Damn those time differences.

Anyhow, apparently I bring no luck to tennis men. Safin and Kuerten went down in a qualifying match and a quaterfinal respectively. Then I threw my support to Nalbandian because he was responsible for their fall, and he went down in the semis. Henman, my back-burner boyfriend, also just suffered a tragic loss to Coria.

Even my half-hearted love for Moya was wiped clean by Coria.

I suppose I could just support Coria because he'll probably win anyway, but he's too short. Listening to the Roland-Garrros radio stream (shut up, my tv can't be set up because the antennas broken. And yeah, shut up, I still use rabbit ears. And yeah, so whatever, tennis is really not the kind of sport you can listen to on the radio), the announcers said, "I mean, he's not a midget or anything, but he's pretty short." They were actually pretty funny sportscasters, which made the whole fact that I have to resort to listening to the matches instead of watching them at least semi-bearable.

Anyway, I don't know what to do anymore. Who do I choose? Gaudio with his long hair and wanna-be Spanish architect's name? Or Coria, the almost midget?*

It's a lose-lose situation here.

Meanwhile, I'm rather sick and have the perfect excuse to not study and instead watch the games. But I can't. I haven't watched television in my house in over two years, and the one time I want to, I discover that my television doesn't work. Someone has it in for me this year when it comes to tennis.

*Actually, they're both 5'9. Still shorter than me, but by no means short by Argentine standards.

Yay, someone else listening to the French Open radio! I much prefer the commentary on Radio Wimbledon, but what can ya do.

Oh, and I say root for Coria :D
