'Objects In Space'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
A cricket match can normally go up to five days, but it's really nothing in exertion comparison--it's a more relaxed version of baseball, with tea breaks. And better clothes (please don't like to oldschool one day Packer uniforms, bt).
I think, however, they only play six hours a day, and Mahut and Isner played seven today (ten total).
I just remembered my parents are coming in to town this weekend. I am itching to leave work early so I can go home and clean.
Imma back ita up that tea lattes are totally delicious. And the bomb. And I get my mint tea latte with chocolate powder (and yes milk) instead of vanilla. Delicious.
Whoa on Wimbledon.
I know cricket's nothing to any of the sports that require exertion - the college cricket team I used to hang out with usually didn't break a sweat. At least not while playing cricket. It does imply, however, that anyone used to cricket has the patience to sit through a multi-day game of some sort. The players? MEN OF IRON
Yeah, cricket can be really quite relaxed. Much easier to watch than its reputation would suggest, too. Mainly on account of how you can bring a picnic and wine.
The sad news is that the Guardian blogger is off tomorrow and someone else will be doing the liveblog instead. They have quite an act to follow.
Good God, the British Navy are here. (To celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Cdn Navy.) The bars will not be safe.
All the excitement has gone out of my day now that they're not playing anymore.
I miss the Guardian guy already.
Just got the info on COBRA - almost $1700/mo. Holey Moley.
Holey holey holey fucking moley.
Geez, msbelle. yikes.

Difference is, though, that this could have ended any time. With cricket, for a lot of it, you know it's not going to end yet, so you only have so much tension.
Even a one day game--you're rooting for it to go one way or another, but you can tick off how close you are to the end. These guys? Always close to the end. Just, you know, not.
I miss the Guardian guy already.
Me too.
I don't begrudge him his rest, except how I totally do. Xan Brooks, my new fake boyfriend. It's a guy, right?
eta: Sheeit, msbelle, that's huge. Much more than twice what I had to pay either time I was on it.
