This was the definition of a tournament and especially match of his life for him. If a quarter of his Australian Open success last year was attributed to Nadal succumbing to injuries (although that's still quack, because he had to beat Djokovic to get in that final in the first place, plus he did almost nothing wrong in that final either), this time you can't take absolutely anything from this victory, it had everything. Nerves under control, rise to the occasion, fighting spirit, outrageous tennis.

Only if you pay for her coffee and ask to do it again sometime.
I'll definitely do the first, but I'll have to check the vibe to see if the latter is worth asking.

Re: Random~

Shame. He had chances for a two set lead. That second set tiebreak was a beauty and Djokovic really looked vulnerable.

My story and my passion for tennis is basically the same as MP's (minus my parents playing tennis), except that it started with Nadal. Plus, I have an issue with the dominant alpha athletes in sport - whether it's Federer in tennis, O'Sullivan in snooker or you name it, I can never find myself rooting with them. I'd rather see their main archnemesis or challengers (sometimes even underdogs) win or snatch their throne.

Re: Random~

Yeah, I'm not really seeing the "fairytale" change of guards that Federer had or how the other from the Big 4 gradually came on top. Brats like Kyrgios, Dimitrov and such are very inconsistent. I really wish del Potro would return to form, he's a guy with a big heart, he can play some awesome thrillers and shouldn't be losing valuable years with his injuries. Nishikori is awesome, but I'm not sure if he's here to stay either. But that still is far from saying I can see the next Fed and Rafa, around the corner. Heck, not even at the ice cream stand.

It's slightly more than a whole month's wage for an assistant teacher (which I'll very likely start being this autumn), so I guess it's ok - even though that doesn't speak well of how low the teaching wages are.

I have a feeling, though, that the reason why this conducting masterclass keeps being held in my town/country (third year in a row, my second year accompanying) is because we're sort of "cheap labor" and have lenient standards; a student told me that back in Germany, France, Switzerland, no orchestra would accept (or "be patient enough", the way he phrased it) to work with sub-par students (which, frankly, most of them were).

I didn't mean discussion, as much as life choices you force upon your partner until everything is ruined, because consensus is clearly unreachable in a timeframe fast enough to fulfill your primary desires and nothing (or nobody) else('s).

maybe a tab/caps lock issue q.m.
I'm going to go insane. In File Explorer or Total Commander, when I try to name a new folder or name a file, activating caps highlights the whole goddamn text (and makes me lose the text by hitting a letter afterwards) or acts like enter and closes the editing box. WTF. Except for changing the language bar hot keys (using Shift to capitalize, which is a pain in the ass, after being used to use the caps), I can't find anything in the settings to help. I also can't find anything on the internet, although they do have articles on the caps being screwy, but for a different reason.

Re: Random~

Most of you probably have powerful recollections (I'm already beyond sad to hear about Roxy losing her friend), so I'll try to keep my story as humble as it truly is, but I can assure you I still remember the shock of seeing it almost all live on TV.

I was in 6th grade and arrived home from school (must have been those weird years in which school started on the 1st of September here, instead of the 15th), I'd say around 3:30pm (8:30am NY). I didn't turn the TV and landed on CNN until after the first plane hit, but from there onwards I watched everything unfold. I was even alone for a while, my parents came from work an hour or so later. At first, for a second, everyone thought it had to be some kind of TV stunt or trickery, but then it sank how very real it all was. My parents were tired and had to take their usual rest, but I kept watching and even recall waking them up when the second tower collapsed. In retrospect, I'm not sure how good it was for me to (be left to) watch, but that's a different story. The media coverage was pretty much non-stop, not only throughout that day, but for days to come. I didn't see any jumpers (the only image of that I have in my head is from reading Jonathan Safran Foer's Extremely Loud...), like G-Man, but I saw footage of people running from the debris cloud and such.

The day after, everyone in class couldn't focus on any actual lessons. Teachers were either rambling or sighing in disbelief and we were talking with each other about what we did or didn't see. I'm afraid I wouldn't label ourselves as being too well-mannered, rational and empathic debaters - on the contrary, we tend to be very gossipy, conspiracy-addicted or simply loudmouthed; tabloids with "can you see the face of the devil in this plume?!" articles were already running on the second day after the attacks - then again, we were kids, it made a great impression on us and we needed to talk about it.

A year ago I started tracking down and watching the movies that have soundtracks created by TD, but the cinematic level is often so poor, I couldn't go all the way through with the project. Last movie I recall watching was Near Dark.

I wasn't even head over heels with the good rate ones - for instance, Sorcerer (mainly because the French original is vastly superior).
