You know what makes this whole Cecil the lion killing worse? The fact that the hunter was a dentist. Like he couldn't just go do what other dentists do for fun, like buy some overpriced bike or something.

I've had a soft spot for Bouhanni for a while now. I'm pretty sure it's because he has a thing for boxing (I had a thing for boxing back in the day), but his French nationality, penchant for Bosox hats, and that eyebrow sweeten the deal, too.

I anticipated this month as being a busy one, filled with le Tour and cheering on my favorite tennis player, Kei Nishikori, at the Wimbledon. I excitedly spent the last week planning a video around green tea and tennis balls.
And then, at 9pm last night, while I was doing acrobatics around a plate, a tripod, and a cheap lightbox, Nishikori pulled out of the Wimbeldon due to an injury. I almost cried.
This means I won't be spending my entire day in front of the TV this month. I'm still weeping, though.
