In my tennis-induced blur I hadn’t heard who’d left the stage.
It’s dodobird.
And she’s, ahem, rambling more incoherently than Gov. Sanford.
Bless the GOP. With SNL as weak as it’s been this has been such a gift.
Incremible Sedis.
I am watching Andy Roddick having just stole the 3rd set in a tiebreak.
and i am so fucking proud of that yank.
i know i know
i’ve done a 180 on Roddick but actually
he did 90
i did 90.
******************
OH MY FUCKING GOD

HJOLY SHIITE!!!!

Yes, but is it worth $180?
I’m actually inclined to say yes. My cat’s shitter leaves litter scattered around the entry.

Hey, thanks for your wisdom.Tennis Wives
Rog is obviously the best player [ever] but when it comes to his better half, well, she isn’t.
Mirka Federer seems very devoted but, by professional athlete standards, she’s a 6.
So then, who has the hottest woman in his box. Married or simply attached?
There’s Andy Roddick’s new bride Brooklyn Decker. Trés yum.
Lleyton Hewitt’s lady, Bec Cartwright is pretty hot but lacks sufficient chinage.
Tommy Haas is engaged to Sarah Foster. Hot but a little generic LA.
Andy Murray’s little English rose is very cute but, like all English women, she already suggests the old crow she’ll become.
I’ve never seen Rafa’s lady but I’m sure she’s adorable.
Who am I missing?
The new Thom Mayne building at Cooper Union came up at dinner last night. Mao et Starshine condemning it’s brutality and insolence. Balkano approving of its ambition and novelty.
I hedged my answer, reserving judgment until the thing is finished but, if the CalTrans building in downtown LA is any kind of guide, I think this building will be something else when it’s finished and in use. As the day turns to dusk and the building begins to emit light from beneath its mesh it’ll add something to Cooper Square and might begin to help people forget about this.
Quarters
Rog handles Dr. Ivo’s fireballs with aplomb knocking him out in straight sets and making Gigantor look awfully flatfooted.
Tommy Haas is having the run of his life having saved 2 match points from Marin Cilic and now knocks off Novak in the quarters in 4 solid sets. Nole looked very tired, physically and psychically, in the loss. Tommy will see Rog on Friday. Sorry Tommy.
Murray knocks off one of the best looking on the men’s side, Juan Carlos Ferrero to sustain his roll into the semis. He’ll be playing either Lleyton or or Roddick in what should be a great semi.
At this point in my viewing Lleyton and Roddick have split the first 2 sets and are duking it out in the third on serve. It’s Roddick’s serve and forehand versus Lleyton’s speed and counterpunching. Both men are playing exemplary tennis.

Another Note On MJ
Technically I don’t think we can really call him a pederast.
It’s worth remembering [albeit not excusing] that he was never accused of actual buggery. That would have been unseemly to him. He was more interested, I think, in the thrill of adolescent discovery, something never allowed him as a star and a gay, the first time round.
He wanted to create situations in which he could experience vicariously but nearby those early stirrings.
He was more like a sad vampire than a traditional grab-em/chloroform-em/get-em-in-the-van types.
Mom Of Prince and Paris Speaks Out. »
In all the hoopla surrounding MJ’s demise [and it does sadden me personally] something interesting has been ignored [and there are so many dissertations that could be written about MJ’s life it’s hard to even fathom. Also, like, good books could be written about him too!]
The mother confesses what anyone with eyes clearly knew.
They weren’t his kids.
They were white.
Given his whole life was, among other things, a flight from his blackness for him, post-surgery/skin bleaching/and dressing like Joan Collins to have had kids made from his actual spunk would have been a stinging and recurrent slap to his new whiteness.
His journey to whiteyland was so thorough and integral it literally mutated his DNA.
That’s how fucking ahead he really was.
A visionary simply sees a futureworld.
MJ lived in it.
