extend museum hours after 5pm

most museums and galleries in australia close at 5pm during the week. this doesn't make sense because most people finish work just then. it is only after 5pm that they have time to visit during the week. by hiring more staff or temps or switching shifts museums should also stay open after 5pm. otherwise they become mostly used by students or people who can afford not to work and the general public has access to them on weekends when they are at their most crowded. that's not fair!

camera ommission

i would like to know what kind of energy bars and drinks federer and nadal used yesterday at the australia open final. the stuff that keeps them going during long and intense games. unfortunately the camera never zoomed in close enough to get a good look at it. don't pro athletes have sponsors for everything, including energy drinks?

tennis rackets, shoes, clothes, bags, towels, they all get close ups in order to advertise the sponsors but for some reason that's not the case with the energy drinks or food.

i wonder why...on a totally different note, what if the powerbars they eat came in the shape of the medal??

why does federer cry so much?

i think he overdid it yesterday, maybe he should consider therapy sessions. i guess it's ok to show a bit of emotion that female fans love to see, but not to the point that it made nadal apologize for winning the game...this time federer's crying made me feel more sympathy for nadal. nadal should not have said i'm sorry for winning the open!
