NO SLEEP TONIGHT.
written: 1:41 a.m. on Monday, Mar. 16, 2009

DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY IT IS THAT, EVEN FOR A PAPER FOR WHICH I HAVE DONE MINIMAL RESEARCH AND EVEN MORE MINIMAL READING, I AM STILL UNCOMFORTABLY CLOSE TO RISKING THE DANGER OF EXCEEDING THE PAGE LIMIT.

THIS ENTRY IS IN CAPS BECAUSE I AM ANNOYED AND FRUSTRATED, AND I'M AT PAGE 10 OF 15 AND I HAVEN'T EVEN BEGUN MY SECTION ON WHY AND HOW JUDICIAL REVIEW SHOULD BE, I DON'T KNOW, USED OR SOMETHING. OMG. NO SLEEP TONIGHT - SERIOUSLY. FUCK.

CONSOLATION? ANDY'S INDIAN WELLS MATCH IS AT 10 AM LATER ON WHICH MEANS I CAN WATCH IT GUILT-FREE!

DOWNSIDE? THEY ARE NOT BROADCASTING ROGER'S DOUBLES MATCH. I HAD HIGH HOPES - IT'S THE LAST MATCH ON CENTRE COURT AND NO OTHER SINGLES ATP MATCHES ARE GOING ON AT THAT TIME, AND I THOUGHT SUPERSPORTS WOULD COVER INDIAN WELLS FROM 2 AM TO 2 PM AGAIN. BUT NO. THEY'RE STOPPING THEIR COVERAGE AT 12 NOON, PRESUMABLY AFTER ANDY'S MATCH. ARGH! WHY WHY WHY DO THEY DO THIS TO THE POOR DOUBLES PLAYERS? IT'S FREAKING SAD.

SPEAKING OF TENNIS, BOY, AM I NOT LOOKING FORWARD TO ROGER'S NEXT MATCH WITH IVO KARLOVIC. IT'S GOING TO BE SO FRIGGING BORING, I DON'T THINK I'D EVEN MAKE THE EFFORT TO WAKE UP TO WATCH IT. PLAYING GICQUEL WAS ALREADY SLIGHTLY BORING; ALL THE BIG FIRST SERVES, THE ACES, AND ROGER'S RUSTY RETURN OF SERVE - ROGER COULDN'T GET INTO A DECENT RHYTHM IN THE FIRST SET AND ONLY GOT INTO THE FLOW OF THINGS IN THE SECOND. AT LEAST GICQUEL CAN DO THINGS BEYOND SERVING BIG. KARLOVIC LEADS THE MOST NUMBER OF ACES SERVED IN A MATCH ON THE TOUR WITH 50-SOMETHING AND AVERGES 20-SOMETHING ACES A MATCH. WHAT THE FUCK KIND OF BORING GAME IS THAT? TENNIS IS MORE ABOUT POSSESSING A KILLER SERVE. ASK ANDY RODDICK AND HE'LL TELL YOU ALL ABOUT WORKING ON HIS NET PLAY AND HIS GROUNDSTROKES. YES, KARLOVIC, THOSE THINGS ACTUALLY EXIST. I'VE ONLY SEEN HIM PLAY ONCE, BRIEFLY, AGAINST DJOKOVIC IN ONE OF THE YEAR-END TOURNAMENTS LAST YEAR AND HE WON AND IT WAS UTTERLY BORING. I DON'T LIKE WATCHING ROGER PLAY AGAINST BIG SERVERS, EVEN GILLES MULLER, BECAUSE IT'S JUST AS GOOD AS WATCHING ROGER WALK FROM ONE END OF THE COURT TO THE OTHER FOUR TIMES DURING HIS OPPONENT'S SERVICE GAME AND THEN IT'S OVER. HOW BORING.

OKAY I'M GOING BACK TO MY PAPER NOW. I FEEL LIKE SLEEPING ALREADY AND IT'S ONLY 1.48 A.M. OMG PLEASE KILL ME NOW.
