tennis, plants, and the monster
so - the french open are over. i'm very pleased that justine henin-hardenne won the women's title. when she plays her best tennis, she is just marvellous to watch. i was probably not the only one who could not believe that roger federer took the first set 6-1 today against rafael nadal - he was brilliant. i don't think i have ever seen him play that well on clay before. but then, whatever happened, he lost his game, and nadal woke up. he *really* woke up. i think he deserves the win, he is the best clay courter at the moment, and has been for a while, but i still would have liked to see federer win and attempt the grand slam within the year. maybe next time. ;)
here's a visual update on the "garden", the plants on our balcony. they are getting more sunshine now, and it's warmer, so there should be a lot of progress shortly. 
first marigold!
sunflower, still small, but growing
all sorts of plants
i have always wanted to know what kind of monster i am (i am sure you have, too), and fortunately blogthings has the answer:

You don't seem like much of a KILLER either!
I enjoyed the Open today, too. I started to want Nadal to win at some point, which ws unusual because I usual get bothered by his clam-digger pants and wedgie picking. Anyway, I think it may have something to do with having heard him speak Spanish from Spain. I'm a sucker for that.
Your plants are looking happy!

the garden looks great! I have little peppers now! woo-hoo!
i am, as always, envious of your ppants.
my monster profile is undead midget.
i feast on: fried chicken (yummy!)
i lurk around in: olive gardens (must be europe)
i especially like to torment: hicks (what the heck are *that*?)
yay for hating beer. never could drink it. still reminds me too much of vomit -- my siblings', when they overdrank. hee.
a.
lauren - *L*. i said to sepp that nadal will have to talk to nike about his pants - i like them alright, but they seem too tight in ... err, places. but isn't federer magic to watch when he's at his best? and spanish could never win me over - i don't like the sound of it.
jenni - mine are growing, my tiny little pepper plants.
arlene - hicks are stupid, uneducated people. but i assume it takes more than not knowing what hicks are, to be one. *LOL* yay re beer!
and it is nice of you to envy me my pants. it would never do to leave the house without them. *giggle*
