Djokovic's expression cracked me up. Sort of an affectionate, envious "You bastard."
Angel: Just admit it: you think you're gonna ride in, save the day, and sweep Buffy off her--Spike: Like you're not thinking the same thing. Angel: I'm already seeing somebody. Spike: What, dog girl?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
ESPN2 is covering the women's final, and they read a statement from her, but it was a total fauxpology.
She calmed down so fast for the press conference, it looked like, that she wasn't even allowing room for an apology--like there was no need. What was she like at the start of it?
She still has one match to play. She should probably apologise before that. The NY crowd is not polite.
I couldn't not look. Unsurprisingly she hasn't tweeted since then.

The same. And I can get that -- being upset in the heat of the moment and then burning out quickly.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Re: The guy who said I scowled at him.
I hate that. You know when Hamlet tells Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, "There is a kind of confession in your looks, which your modesties have not craft enough to color."? I feel like Hamlet could be talking about me.
Like if I'm heavily involved in something or even just in deep thought and someone interrupts me, it annoys me even though I often can't blame the person for interrupting me. So even though I try not to look annoyed, people can see it in me. I hate that I'm that transparent. Once I was at work at a place in Mpls where I did computer stuff and tended a storefront. A woman came in while I was in the middle of some involved stuff, and even though I tried not to look annoyed at her (since it was my responsibility to "mind the store") she still picked up on it. She said, "You don't like me, do you?"
Argh.

tommy, I present this picture of me. I was totally blissed out after a lovely afternoon wandering Kathmandu, sitting on a swing in a gorgeous courtyard, after having a really fucking good conversation with a someone that did really great things to my mood and ego and listening to happy music: [link]
I have NO FUCKING CLUE why I look so cranky. I didn't even know my dad was taking the shot. And the funny thing is, people kept coming up to me all friendly and making conversation. So beats the hell out of me!

Art Crawl!!!
Yes - that was totally NOT an apology. Why bother?
V. sad about Jim Carroll.
And I'm glad that the women's final has finally started.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I know my mouth turns down naturally, so if I'm not actively smiling, I often look unhappy. Meh.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I know ita. That look was priceless! Poor guy. He didn't even try to return that last shot.
My husband deserves a toaster for getting me into tennis like this.
