The 2012 Australian Open

The 100th edition of the Australian Open tennis tournament is currently underway in Melbourne. Players from all over the world have been competing in the heat of the Australian summer, hoping for a win — this year’s singles champions will take home $2.4 million dollars (U.S.). Matches are progressing today into the semifinals, with the final matches to be played on January 29. Collected here are some colorful glimpses of the 2012 Australian Open.

Annnnd I clearly need to be watching this show.

(via shesso20thcentury)

Should I go to the US Open since I’ll be in NY anyway that weekend, or just go to FreeFest since that’s closer to home and, you know, free?

24freedinners:superclaud: simply the best

Saw TAI last night, obvs. Adam says hi, record due out in the spring hopefully, tour to accompany, possibly including a show at the National.

US Open began today, I just happened to be looking up the dates because I thought it started next week—I’m pumped to watch every day at work. (Oudin just won her match, yay.)

I start my indoor cycle class today—class actually started a week ago, but I had to work M-W for the Squirrels so I couldn’t go. (Speaking of which, only four games left! Fri-Mon. So ready for the season to be over, as much as I love baseball.) I’m kind of nervous, honestly. I want to be able to bike to work, though—there are a couple hills I’m afraid of right now, and I’m hoping that a few weeks of this class will give me the boost I need to get up those. Mom said I can have her bike, so I’d really just need to tune that up, get a helmet, and I’d be set. It’s 3.5 miles, which Google Maps says would take about 20 minutes—not much longer than what it takes to drive. I really want this to work.

Wednesday I have to go to the dentist to get a crown fitted for the tooth I had a root canal in. If you guys take nothing else from this blog, take this—floss. Else you’ll have to get your tooth whittled away and a piece of porcelain put over it. Should be fun.
