I look more rad than Lutheranism

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Damn, Raquel, that is some week.
Freaky bruise, Frankenbuddha.
That was the best I've seene LIndsay Davenport play on Saturday. But I don't follow her or anything, I just watch finals, mostly. But she looked great. I was really surprised by Federer's big emotional reaction, because his win seemed so inevitable.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Fascinating, wasn't it? I mean, those didn't look like tears of joy. Relief, yes, joy, no. If you'd not known the result, the shots of Roddick and Federer in their chairs wouldn't have helped you much.
They did mention that as a kid he was a loud and bratty player -- maybe he's biting down on a ton of emotions to make it look so damned effortless -- he barely speaks, doesn't grunt, and I don't really even remember much in the way of fist pumping. He just looks slightly grave.

I'm getting the pig!
tommy - I believe that as long as your balls aren't already flaming, Tep won't shoot them.
I could be wrong.

Yeah, that's exactly right. It was kind of unsettling to see.
That's interesting that he was loud when he was younger. DH suspected that someone told him to show more emotion when he won, that he's getting tagged with the Sampras more machine than man label.

I don't quite see him as Sampras-like, because Pete looked so frozen the whole time. Roger looks more -- like he's not working. Like he's out for a quiet walk. Serene, almost.

DH says he plays like a Swede. Whatever that means. He reminds me of those bits in kung fu movies where the master kicks someone's ass (or, more accurately, lets someone kick his own ass through trying to attack the master) without breaking a sweat. I don't think he's like Sampras, but I figure sportswriters used to talking abot Sampras are ready to employ the same sort of descriptions for Federer. But that's just me unfairly maligning sportswriters, probably.
Oh, good, another tropical storm. This is the earliest there have been 4 named storms in the Atlantic. Yay.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I like Gehry and don't find his buildings ugly--some of them are quite beautiful. They are definite statements, but sometimes they add a lot of energy to a skyline. The Disney Concert Hall [link] in downtown LA is practically the only building there built since the 20s which is not boring and faceless.

Rumor is one person in our group has already been notified they are being laid off, so it looks like today is the day (unless mgmt is sick and wrong and dragging out the notifications over the week which would be INSANE.)
I guess that means I'll know by the end of the day?
Eeps.
Noncontract coworkers won't find out until August.
