Finding Neverland
Peter Llewelyn Davies: This is absurd. It's just a dog.
J.M. Barrie: Just a dog? *Just*?
J.M. Barrie: Porthos, don't listen!
J.M. Barrie: Porthos dreams of being a bear, and you want to shatter those dreams by saying he's *just* a dog? What a horrible candle-snuffing word. That's like saying, "He can't climb that mountain, he's just a man", or "That's not a diamond, it's just a rock." Just.

Tsonga cruises into the final
Jo-Wilfried Tsonga has just won against Nadal in the semi final, 6-2 6-3 6-2. no one anticipated that an unseeded player would win against the no.2 seed Rafa Nadal in straight sets. and Nadal played well in this match. now you can imagine how good Tsonga is. if Tsonga can play like this in the final, it isn’t impossible for him to be the champion this year. looks like i’m...
