Airplanes
Is there any more excruciatingly interminable period of time than the time between an airplane has landed, and it "taxis" to its gate? I swear it takes like fifteen minutes every single time. Then, as soon as the plane stops and the seatbelt sign goes off, everyone gets up!! Despite the fact that it'll be another 8-10 minutes before anyone actually gets off the damn plane. Really dampens the thrill of flying. On a related note, I wonder if there are people who fly so often that the thought of death doesn't occur to them every time they fly. It at least occurs to me every single time. I think it'd be strange not for the thought to occur.
Sports
As boxing is sputtering, tennis is blooming. Floyd "retired" again, Oscar's about as relevant as the Harlem Globetrotters, and Roy Jones Jr. is officially a minor league cash cow. But man, how amazing is Rafa's improvement on grass and his upcoming showdown with Federer? The way he blitzed Roger in Paris has everyone saying Federer's reign is over, but I'm just hoping for a killer final. Unlike the slapfest that was Roland Garros.
Obama
Does anyone dislike him? Anyone that isn't horsing around wearing white sheets that is. I bet even McCain secretly wants to vote for him.

I actually don't like Nadal that much. He's a personality black hole, he takes forever before points, fakes injuries and ruined Roland Garros (my favorite tournament) since he wins before it starts. Then again, it's great that he's improved so much because that makes the other three tournaments better (especially with Djokovic lurking). The Wimbledon final was probably the best match I've ever seen live and what's awesome is that the two can probably play even better.
