Wimbledon is Back

It's already into the third round. There's nothing more that can cheer me up than watching a Rafael Nadal match. Someone said that he would win Wimbledon before Roger Federer would win Roland Garros. To my surprise he disagreed. Maybe he knows something that I don't. Of course he knows something that I don't. Anyway, love his tenacity. He fights for every point. Even when it looks impossible, he turns it around. Saw he did a backhand return when the ball was practically behind him and still got it in and won the rally against Werner Eschauer.

Global Warming Could Lead to Ice Age

Saw something interesting on TV. Scientists say that the global warming that's been going on right now could lead to another ice age. It's got something to do with the melting of the ice on the northern hemisphere that releases a flood of fresh water into the sea. This upsets the normal cycle of hot and cool water in the sea and disrupts hot air formation that's been keeping our climate under control for 10 000 or so years.

Feeling Blah

Feeling really crappy lately. Don't feel like doing anything. Maybe I'm low on bananas. Read that bananas give you a happy feeling. Something about tryptophan or something. Tried carrot juice too, almost the same effect. Maybe that's why bunnies are so alert all the time. Going to get me some bananas and carrots.

Harry Potter Frenzy

It's Harry Potter season. They've been showing the movies on TV, the earlier ones. The latest movie is coming out on cinema and the final book is coming out on 21st July 2007. There is even a stadium planning for promotion and to celebrate the release of the seventh and last book. The main event is the distribution of the book at midnight. Read the news that big retail booksellers are already slashing the price tag to half annoying some smaller bookstores. Heard JK Rowling is killing off one of the main characters. It couldn't be Harry, could it?

Hello Kitty Turns Into a Panda

Hello Kitty got a gig for Beijing Olympic 2008. Should have expected this. What else should this cute cat turns into but a panda - even if it's just a costume. It's hard being a celebrity. You have to reinvent yourself constantly and go with the flow. Sort of like having different faces and different characters all the time to make people stay interested. Wonder if the cat's happy with her life.

Posh Spice Has a Reality TV

I knew it! Missed the announcement but it's coming up at NBC. Don't know which one came first - David Beckham's decision to move to US or the reality TV. Both ways, I won't be watching. Maybe both the egg and the chicken...

Human Neanderthal Hybrid Update

Apparently the documentary I saw was belated or a rerun. Did a little digging and found out that the bones were found in Portugal near the coast north of Lisbon. It was a skeleton of a four-year-old boy with features of modern human but limbs proportionately Neanderthal. Research from DNA tests found links of modern human with Cro-Magnon but no apparent link with Neanderthal. Don't know if it's possible that their DNA 'disappear' with interbreeding or they just evolved and 'became' modern human hence the lack of trace of DNA. Just my wild imagination.
