Good luck to you and yours, Nora!
Very convincing. Makes me completely want to put myself under government control. Please take me to where you can make me unconscious and naked.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
From a blog discussion about bad pop music: Silvia Night. [link] I'm just staring at this video in horror. It's terrible even by Eurovision standards.

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

It's Europe's revenge for us afflicting them with Jingle Cats, right?

Hey, Serena just announced Pink at the VMAs. That was unexpected, since I've been watching you all talk about what happened today.

Great, Angry guy is arguing with the cop.
I'm liking angry guy less and less.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
U.S. Open:
Rock on, Kim Clijsters and her cute husband.

And now Angry Guy slammed his door. While cop is talking to Peter.
Angry guy is angry - he thinks cop took Peter's side. Cop did suggest Angry guy move out if he didn't like the noise.
This just gets weirder and weirder.

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

And Mary Carillo is pissed at her for being there, although I'm not sure what she should be doing instead...given that she assed herself out of playing the finals. Well, and played herself out too--no way she was getting back in the game.
Carillo thinks that she should be suspended and not play in the doubles final tomorrow. I'm out of touch of other sports--do they suspend players for verbal abuse? And if you don't suspend Serena tomorrow, you have to wait until January, because it's not like they seriously play anything other than the Majors or Fed Cup anyway.
I guess I'd be more unequivocal if it weren't doubles. That's a different track to me, and unfair to a third party (no matter what Venus's opinion of the whole deal was, she didn't do anything and shouldn't be penalised). If she had singles play left to go, and suspending is in line with verbal abuse, then sure.

You even drop the F-bomb to an umpire in a baseball game, and you're automatically out of the game. If you made threats the way Serena did, you could easily be suspended for a couple of games.

Oh, and Kim's daughter is the cutest! I'm not sure about her husband--I kept wanting to explain tennis to him, because a lot of the time when they cut to him he looked bored when she'd just done something well, but he came good in the end. But Jada with the trophy and pointing at herself onscreen (wait--watching herself on the screen and pointing at the camera, which is something not every adult gets) was just too cute.
