and just to finish on a warm and fuzzy … there’s this

tina fey … the immaculate hotness of

on the punt … yes, it’s back

so, in an effort to distract myself from the Digestion System From Hell, i am back on the punt. because it’s fun, and i live large in the dream that The Big Win Is Coming.

i’ve had a good week, puntifically speaking. i’m about $60 up on $50 investment.

partly that’s cos i managed to pick 10 out 10 NRL winners last weekend — and 2 from 2 so far this weekend.

but i also did something silly.

yes, i have been putting money on Samantha Stosur … her of the million-dollar arm, and the five-cent head.

so far, it’s paid off, despite her best efforts to lose. yesterday she won her quarter-final in three sets after losing the first set, then giving up a 5-0 lead in the third, she finally got through in the tiebreaker.

tomorrow she’s playing a no-name in the semi-final. i’ve put $16 on her at about $1.20.

i’m doomed. DOOMED, i tell ye.

for some reason, Rise of the Planet of the Apes is looking kinda cool to me
