I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

U.S. Open:

Rock on, Kim Clijsters and her cute husband.

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

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.

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

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.

Because books.

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.

Some people on Facebook are talking about Kanye saying something that pissed them off (something...anti gay maybe?) just now. Anyone wanna clue me in?

From listening to Duncan Cahill, apparently she'd have been out then too.

Kanye interrupted Taylor Swift's speech when she won best female video, to rant about Beyonce made the best video of all time or something ridiculous. The pan away to Beyonce showed her MORTIFIED. Taylor was just sort of stunned.

I didn't catch anything anti gay that he said, though I wasn't totally paying attention, but at the VMAs, Taylor Swift won for best female video or something like that, and while she was trying to give her thank yous, Kanye jumped on the stage, grabbed the mic out of her hand, and started talking into it about how Beyonce should have won. Then when Beyonce won for video of the year, she said how great a moment it was the first time that she won one of these awards, and called Taylor up to the stage to finish her speech so that Taylor could have her moment, too.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

Beyonce is class though. I loved the way she accepted her Best Video award.
