Speaking of crushes...

I think I have a "crush" on the NCAA basketball tournament. Just kidding. Just an overwhelming obsession with the tournament this year. Actually this year I have been more obsessed with sports than ever. I've watched more gymnastics, soccer, figure skating, basketball, and tennis than I have in a long, long time. ESPN2 is basically my TV channel, and I don't know what I would do without cable TV. The sad thing is that sometimes having sports to watch is the one thing I look forward to the most, short-term of course. It's so much less work than playing RPGs and I know I will enjoy it rather than playing until I get stuck.

Well my crush of the NCAA basketball tournament, Kevin Durant, is out. Texas lost on Sunday to USC by a lot. Most likely he is going to the NBA and then I can forget about him maybe. Of course next basketball season I will try to catch more games so maybe I won't miss him. I'm going to try to spread the love to more sports without overloading on TV-watching, but I don't know how successful that will be.

One of my other crushes, Brian Joubert, just took the gold at the World Figure Skating Championships. Since I recorded the reair of the show, I didn't get to see his "007" routine but had to YouTube it. It was just hilarious. And the Japanese guy who got silver, Daisuke, was amazing. SO good. I'm not jumping onto his bandwagon or anything (the only thing going for Brian Joubert anyway is that he is too damn cute) but I want to watch him skate some more. Evan Lysacek got 5th and they didn't show his long program on the rebroadcast. But they showed Jeff Buttle and poor guy, falling like 4 times on the long program. He's also fun to watch. Meanwhile I need to catch up on my girl skaters. I want to see both Yu-Na Kim and Mao Asada again so I can choose which one of these two can be my "official" girl skater crush. Haha I may be finding a crush in like every sport but I'm also trying to limit myself, so I can have a large orgy instead of a gigantic one. Does that make any sense?

Oh finally one of my tennis crushes, Novak Djokovic, made it to the final of the Pacific Life Open but lost in the final to Rafael Nadal. But now he's in the top 10 in the rankings and maybe he won't be drawn to meet Federer in the quarters as often. Best of luck to him, as well as Richard and Ana and Sveta, at the Sony Ericsson Open. But poor Mario...I think he is still out with mono or something...
