Upsetting Day Part 2

Yeah, this is weird, coming before the recap of my vacation in Canada, but a few things have upset me again! And I was looking forward, somewhat, to a few things too...

1) My computer isn't working! The motherboard and/or processor doesn't work and my computer can't boot up because one doesn't recognise the other (don't ask me what it exactly is). I was looking forward to long hours of torrenting and TV recording with it. I think my brother will try to fix it but he's going back to Seattle tomorrow, and I don't know how to install a motherboard into my computer correctly. And I was planning to get a laptop eventually, but that couldn't come in earlier than September 4th, I think, and that's not soon enough in terms of recording massive TV! Why does it have to happen right before the U.S. Open????? I will live, but I wish that I won't have to miss too much. Then again I could just cut class and stuff until I get something to record TV with, haha...

2) Mario Ancic faces Novak Djokovic in the first round of the U.S. Open! This is horrible for me because they are my two favorite male tennis players and I love them almost equally as much. On the one hand, I want Mario to win so that he can put his tennis career back on track. On the other hand, I want Novak to win so that he can do well on his best surface, and maybe even get into the final! But most importantly, I might not get to see Mario play! I miss seeing him, if nothing else.

3) Marin didn't qualify for the U.S. Open! I'm so sad, even if there was the slightest of chances of seeing him once he did qualify (like if he was drawn against Federer, who is facing a qualifier in Scoville Jenkins). At least Tsonga was a direct entry... Ok I'll rant more about the U.S. Open later.

4) The U-17 USMNT lost their first 2 games of their World Cup and can squeeze through if they win over Belgium. It'd be cool if they could advance, especially since I'll have ESPNU once I get into the dorms! I really like Alex Nimo and I hope he can show everyone how awesome he is. The USMNT full team lost to Sweden 1-0, but I'm not terribly surprised. Our team is still going through a lot of turnover so stuff is not cemented. Though for some reason Steve Cherundolo almost looked like Fernando Torres to me...I am surely crazy right now.

But in conclusion I'm just materialistic and mourning the lack of computer and TV, which I can definitely survive without. I really do use those things as a crutch...I'm sorry if I can't make myself happy.
