Lupe was disappointing, i thought his crowd would be somewhat mellow and not push/shove/violence.
Silent Disco was amazing.
Hot Chip were like god.

My Favourite Person on TV Right Now:
Adam Peacock:
The presenter on Fox Sports 3's "Today at the Open".
He is hilarious,
"Gael Monfils; athlete ... and philosopher."
"Where is Federer? Oh i know, his behind some spanish guy with massive cannons"

Australian Open: Day Four
I had a rest day on Wednesday and just sat at home watching the tennis. This time, I went with mum and Hiroshi.
First up, Gasquet vs Istomin. Meg and Sarah were also at this match, had a little chat to them.
Mum being a creep:
The french dudes were sitting near us this time, they were back again with their "allez richard" sung to the tunes of the yellow submarine, yankee doodle, ect. This time though, they were kind of collaborating with the "gasquet fans in the stand, let me hear you clap your hands" girls. I dont understand why they keep sitting behind the umpires chair, theyre not getting a good view of the match from there.
Also, in the middle of the first set, Reese walks out stands right in front of us, and linesmans for most of the match. what a suprise.
Denis Istomin had ridiculously long legs.
Then the moment of destiny happened, right after this:
eye contact + half nod= marriage.
Juan Martin Del Potro being tall.
Just walked around a bit after that. Watched the first set of Radek Stepanek and Michael Berrer. As much as i dont like Stepanek, he is pretty amusing to watch.
Later on, Vaidosova was watching.
Saw Safin training again with Andreev, Hiroshi was really proud of himself because he was wearing the same UnderArmour shorts as Andreev.
Then we were just wandering around, we happened to see monaco/someone vs tipsarevic/troicki. The serbian pair lost, but after the match these serbian men around 60 years old, grabbed tipsarevic for a photo. It was really violent grabbing. He was not happy at all, and he was saying something in Serbian to them, and he kind of refused to look into the camera. Which is understandable, because really, i would not want anyone grabbing me like that ever. Then Troicki walked past and they got a photo with him as well, he is really confused, i dont know if it was just that moment, or if he has the confused/scared look permanently on his face. Much like how Paul Henri Mathieu has a crazy face.
Oh, and mum is the worst wing man ever. Juan Monanco was walking, and i asked if i could get a photo with him, but mum dropped the camera and we were both just standing there waiting for her to take the photo but she took forever, and there was a long moments of "im really sorry about this", "no, its alright", "mum! the button at front, im really sorry", "no, its fine". Then mum's "got it!"... WHICH SHE DIDNT!!!!!!!!!!
Also, Jarkko Nieminen, why is he still here? i thought he lost? unless its not him.
Then, what we found on the Australian Open website.

Australian Open: Day Two
TUESDAY: I went up with Josephine today. I dont know how I got up to go, I was half dead from being sleep deprived and having only eaten a slice of pizza in 24 hours.
First up saw Richard Gasquet vs Diego Junqiuera on court 3. It was already ridiculously hot by 11. It did not help that Gasquet lost the first set in a tie break.
By the third set, it was too hot, and we had to leave for a set to hide in the shade, but there was no where to sit in Rod Laver Arena, so ended up sitting outside in semi shade while the Aviva guy was pretending he was a rotating door.
We went back for the 4th set, and I have to say, it was a pretty ugly match. For someone who was a little tubby and short, Junquiera did a really good job of not getting tired or at least pretending to not look tired. Gasquet on the other hand, looked like he was going to die.
Apparently it got to about 40 degrees during the match. So wow! Claps to Gasquet!
The saw Safina pracitising. She seems to have changed appearance wise alot since last year. She's gotten really pretty!
Then watched some Ernest Gulbis vs Albert Montanes (?)
Gubis is so cute with his ravishing fluffy red hair. He seemed to be going quite well.
Then saw a few people practising. Dudi Sela was playing. Tomic was pracitising. Dimitry Tursunov was pracitising, we saw him check a girl out! haha!
The finished off our day by watching Stefan Koubek vs Mikhail Youzhny. The battle of the crazies! Except only Youzhny was screaming, being his hot angry russian self. Also, Koubek has a belly button piercing, which is wierd.

Australian Open: Day One
Ive just came back from Perth, then went to the tennis the next day, so I'm buggered, therefore, this will be a picture post.
It was disgustingly hot, i've never felt like ive been sick from heat, but today I was on the verge of passing out or something though...
Went up with Andrea and Anita for the first day because Stef is in QLD and Jo is working.
Anita and I watched Ginepri vs Berdych while Andrea saw Ivanovic. It all seemed easy breezy for Berdych, except there was a horrible lines woman who was constantly being overruled.
Berdych Brigade/Army were back, and theyve added to their cheers this time, instead of the same "thats the way uhuh uhuh we like it" like theyve chanted for the past few years.
Dancing Optus Penguins: They were kind of hilarious. The one holding the stereo was the best, while everyone else was doing some hardcore break dancing, he just did a crappy interpretation of the robot.
Gilles Simon
Marat Safin: hitting with Igor Andreev, Andreev remained ignored.
Anita and Andrea spotted Fernando Verdasco and followed him to Lopez's match. I got a text saying "we followed verdasco, his watching lopez haha" then "and tipsarevic and some other plater are standing infront of us too, ur missing out lol".
So i ran on over, then said "YOU FOLLOWED VERDASCO? AHAHA!!!", Tipsarevic turned around and chuckled. Oops.
Then went to see Jeremy Chardy vs Marcos Daniel on court 14, which I think, is the most furthest away court from anything or anywhere. It was extremely hot, and there was a girl wearing moccassin boots and gold leggings. Anita and I were in shock and her choice of clothes. Seriously, did she not know that summer in Australia is very very very hot?
Hurrah! It's that time of the year again!
Well, anyway, It turned out to be Chardy's girlfriend, which was a little disappointing, because he is sososos pretty!
Then watched Marin Cilic vs Kevin Anderson. Anita is an avid Cilic fan, but Andrea and I were just looking for "good match play", which was not found in the form of Kev.
It was getting into the afternoon by then, so we just wandered around, saw Verdasco again, Tsonga, Tursunov, Bolelli, Safarova and Nalbandian. Also saw Maria Kirilenko, she was losing and her dress was disappointing. So she lost in all situations.
Decided to leave at around 6:30 to travel to Fed Square to get the 'Special Edition' of the Herald Sun, to find out uni offers.
Anita and Andrea both got what they wanted, I have my Swinburne Business and Japanese! We were filmed by some guy, so somewhere, me giving Anita a pissweak hi-5 is on tv.
