"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

Why is someone operating a leaf blower directly outside my apartment? There are no leaves there.

They're chasing Cary Grant?

"Huh. That leaf blower's blowing where that ain't no leaves."

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Didn't feel it here in midtown, but woah! Earthquakes please stay on your proper coast, thanks.

Sophia, Twitter is reporting it was felt in Montreal, Toronto, Ottawa, Vermont, Ohio...

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

My office mate is a big tennis fan, so now we're listening to live streaming coverage.

And not having earthquakes, thank you.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

We are having a new building attached to us, and we all thought they somehow knocked our building down (our building is from the 1800's)

6.48pm: The sun is sinking and the court is a blur. It is at this stage that Zombie Isner starts to look like Zombie Mahut and the Zombie Umpire stops croaking and starts to chirrup like a grasshopper. In other words, we're here but we're gone. Is anyone still alive up in the stands or have they now all been eaten? It's 40-40. And that's games, not points

Still no sign of that angel either, the one that swore blind that she would come down and spirit the players off to Disneyland Paris where they could ride the Thunder Mountain rollercoaster forever and ever amen. I'm now starting to wonder if she really exists.
