US Open: Man, I was standing on my furniture for parts of that last tiebreaker. And then I made unfeminine noises and gestures towards the TV when Federer won, mostly stolen from Monfils' oeuvre. 39 consecutive wins at the US Open they say? And if he wins that's 41 and will tie Borg for the most at any slam? Beating himself for 40 at Wimbledon?

They showed a PSAish thingy with Arthur Ashe. Footage of that man still makes me cry. Me and my sister saw him speak at McGill while he was touring towards the end of his life, speaking mostly about AIDS and his activism. He was such an amazing, warm and regal man. Breathtaking. We got him to sign a Christmas card for our parents. He was so nice and funny about it, joking about their names.

U.S. Open:

Thank god. My brain is still on east coast time. I wouldn't have made it through another set.

I heart Emmett

did not watch the speech, but i am outraged at a congressperson misbehaving.

and I know nothing about tennis

US Open: My heart wouldn't have made it through another set. I always think Roger is going to lose. His runs are just too magic.

Oh, look! It's one of Perkins' favourite Criminal Minds episodes. Oddly we find the same episodes gross, but not the same things. She thinks the pigs eating people are the disgusting thing, but it's the spinal trauma I can't take. Like in the Cold Comfort episode where it was the necrophilia for her, but the infusing of live people with embalming fluid (oh, and the hugging a corpse for days) thing for me.

Damn, that's a sick-assed show.

Well, well. The heckle is the lead article on cnn.com, and the apology is front-page on msnbc.com (as part of the big "Prez Speech" box).

If he was from any other district in the country, I'd assume he'd tanked his career. However, I assume he reflects the values of his constituents to get there in the first place.

Having recently toured the South I can vouch that South Carolina was the most freakass of the states I visited. Verdant, though.

My folks are not going to be pleased with his behavior.

I'm pretty sure your thing would have bothered me too, but my thing stopped me from seeing it, since I figured out my thing was going to happen really early on in the show.

I am SO glad I live in GA and not SC, even if I am represented in Congress by an insano loony doctor person (Paul Broun, who I believe genuinely thinks Obama is going to bring on the jackboots any day now.)

Also, I love you guys. There cannot be a better presidential speech watch n post crew on the internets.
