... after that I watch Carolina Wozniacki win in the quarters at the US Open tennis and then watched this concert from L'Arpeggiata:

Prolly was inspired to watch because of my earlier chat with Monsieurjean about troubadour music - I especially liked the cute girl who played the psaltery [Medieval zither]. Great stuff.

Al Murray is the man who is known to millions for his stand-up comedy alter ego The Pub landlord.

But he's also something of a WWII expert.

Started to watch the US Open ladys semi finals but left to watch my neighborhood high school play football. Their varsity team won! This is the first time I've seen them win in two tears. All the neighbors were thrilled at the win.

After the biggest selling stand-up DVD of 2011, the hilarious Peter Kay, who is from my hometown of Bolton and grew up just around the corner from where I live, is back with even more brand new live comedy taken from his record-breaking eighteen-month tour across the UK.

This programme is the first of a two-part documentary going behind the scenes with the comedian as he performs what would be recorded in the Guinness Book of Records as the world's biggest stand-up show of all time. The show sold more than 1.2 million tickets over 18 months throughout 2010 and 2011, including 40 nights at Manchester Arena

Local morning news - had a bout with insomnia this evening, tried to take a nap but still get any sleep. Therefore, am watching tv in the hopes it'll put me to sleep.

Try reading a book. -:)




I took an extra along walk but it still hasn't worked. Unfortunately I was awakened by a seizure in my sleep and my entire system remains terribly overstimulated. The most I can do is keep hoping that the over stimulation will gradually wear down so that I can rest and ultimately sleep.

Argh!!!

Ah, the over stimulation problem has subsided at long last. Watched a boxing match as Carl Frampton defeated Kiko Martinez and then watched Oregon defeat Michigan St in college football. Settled down to a good dinner and feel a lot better now. :)

Serena showed why she remains the QUEEN of tennis by easily whipping Woz. That's three consecutive USO's she won and there is no stopping her. BTW, she gets a whopping multimillion bonus for winning those tournies in a row.
