    Well, if tennis doesn't work out she can always try for Olympic long-jump.

    Speaking of "reaching for the stars", this image bears a striking resemblance to our beautiful galactic neighbor M31.

    I love Venus, but, would it be too off-topic to mention that I was really sad to hear that neither her nor her sister voted? I had no idea, but they're Jehovah's Witnesses, and apparently that's something the religion doesn't allow them to do. I'm not going to judge on anyone's personal beliefs, but these women are such amazing role models. They're successful, independent, and beautiful. And Venus's protests were one of the big factors in finally getting equal prize money for Wimbledon.


    But, when they were being asked about how they felt about Obama this week, they were both hesitant to talk about it because of their religion. And although I'll respect their rights to believe what they want to believe, I'm just saddened that two women who have such visibility and potential to be activists for women don't do something as fundamental as voting.


    It doesn't impact their amazing sports ability and my respect for them, but for some reason I'm liking them slightly less lately. But, good luck to the sisters to win all in doubles, and I've been rooting for Serena to take all in singles.

    @Perla: I know. I HATE it when that happens. I was hoping she'd take the trophy this year.

    *sigh* Dinara, it's on you for singles now.


    Venus & Serena doubles FTW.
