Ughhh I have dragged my eyelids open and my ass out of bed after like 4hrs sleep for this. I am not used to this hour of Saturday morning. It's not going to be worth it, is it.

Dinara wins two great rallies in her service game, but gets broken on three DFs  |

And Silliams is playing some A+ tennis. Serves, drive volleys, everything is just so sharp.

Dinara seems to be giving it about 3 times the effort.  |

A double bagel would be hilarious. I've been rooting for Serena in this match since 3-0. I really want the doube bagel.

FUCK YOU, Silliams. Can't give me a double bagel? Ugh.
Both of them can fuck off now. Unless Safina wins. No more rooting for Serena.

There we go.
Dinara, never show your face in a Slam final again.

I'm watching Vera-Gallovits on re-live, should be more entertaining.

I debated waking up from my nap. I was even half awake with the computer in arms reach. I'm glad I vetoed this. Not worth getting up for that. Good for Serena, though. I don't have a problem with the result, only with getting up to see those results when I could nap  |

I didn't watch it, didn't tape it, and now for sure won't watch the replay!  |

Hmmm. I appear to have slept through the sun.
That was, what, 15 hours? Makes up for the last two weeks, which culminated in a SERENA WILLIAMS VICTORY.

Q. What does it mean to you to win here?
KSENIA PERVAK: You know, I'm really exciting that I won here.

Eeeheeehee. Serena's the champ!
Look, Dinara deserved that after the Dokic and Cornet matches. She should have lost way before the final. She needs to fix that serve!

The best player won. I only feel bad for Kuz, she could have beaten Serena.

Why do you feel bad for Kuz? She's obviously an idiot. And we told ourselves not to get delusional about Demented. And Hurley, this time last year you promised me that the Williams sisters were over. Now they've won the last 3 slams.  |

My students regularly say "I'm boring" and "I'm exciting", even after a lesson on the difference between -ed and -ing endings. I do the right thing and either agree or disagree with them, depending on which adjective they're fucking up.
They also tell me that they love jews. They mean the zoo, but Korean doesn't have a "Z" sound, so they produce a "j" instead of making a "z" sound. They can make a "z" sound, it's just unnatural for them. Besides, they'd rather declare their love of jews.
Student: I love the jew!
Me: Which one?
Student: Huh?
Me: Which Jew do you love? There are so many to choose from.
Student: er...

I love Jews too! But I actually mean it Batty Fan, I don't think I would have said that! But maybe I did. I say lots of things. When you say everything, you're right roughly half the time. |

Serena's match stats if you missed it: 23 winners, 7 UEs. Her best differential ... ever?
Dinara's, you ask? Why, 14 winners and 21 UEs. You know, it was kinda sad watching her walk off the court after the loss - it looked like she was just getting ready to play half-decent tennis and it was over!

Especially in light of this Rafa/Fed match...I am not going to be ready to stop hating that stupid bitch Safina for a good while yet.
