Forty Deuce

"My insurance does not cover PMS!" "Well then, tell them I had a seizure."

 

I love Julia Stiles.  She doesn't do much anymore but I will love her forever simply because of 10 Things I Hate About You, a movie that was instrumental in bringing my kid sister and I closer together (you can guess which one of us is Kat and which is Bianca).  I think she's intelligent, grounded, and yeah, kinda pretentious at times, but hey, chick took some time off and went and got a degree at Columbia.  So no hate from me.

So I had to laugh when I read this article from the Wall Street Journal, which discusses the dressing room demands of a number of different celebrities on Broadway:

Backstage at "Oleanna," a play about sexual harassment, the most striking feature of Julia Stiles's dressing room is the photo of Serena Williams screaming at a line judge during the U.S. Open in September. "It is a reminder for me to go out there and not censor strong emotions that I might be having on stage," says Ms. Stiles.

Hah.

Introducing The Time Killer 2000

I'm bored and I've reached the end of the internet.  It sounds like a lot of people are in the same state.  

So let's help each other out.  Post your favorite links, stories, YouTube videos, whatever in the comments.

My contributions:

"When the dog bites, when the bee stings, when I'm feeling sad..."

It's a rough night for a few of us.  After Day 2 Snot Rocket, Ana, Tipsy, Stan, FeLo, Pavs, Lucie, Agnes, U-Rad, Igor, Mama Bammer, Ai, Goth Bols, and Dima are out. 

So let's look for some happiness, shall we?  A few of my favorite things after the jump:

"Look Ma, I Made It And I'm Ok!"

Thanks to Rhian for sending this along and thanks to the Academy (aka the UK's Ace Magazine) for the shout out.  Between this and last year's Sports Business Journal mention, my head is getting *pretty* damn big.

But "very American"?  COME ON.  How much love do I have for Muzz, AKO, and L-Rob?  Oh, you guys don't say "dude" in the UK?  Well then yeah...I have no idea how you can understand this site.

Well, shoot, if I'm going to be accused of being "very American," what better way to celebrate than with a clip from one of my favorite movies of all time, Wet Hot American Summer:

Apropos Of Nothing: See Fernando

Well at least this one is mildly related to tennis.

New J.Lew video for "See Fernando", which has served as my own personal Fernando Verdasco anthem for the past 3 years.

Oh, and if you thought I had a totally inappropriate girl crush on Ana, it pales in comparison to how I feel about Jenny. She's way too cool for school.

I Can't Believe I'm Doing This

But I've been getting emails from a bunch of people asking about the whole Twitter/Facebook thing.  So here you go.

Mullet With Headlights....

Ok. So I'm completely discombobulated and borderline depressed.  Actually, I'm not even depressed.  I'm just...confused.  Completely confuzzled.  You win, tennis gods.  You win.

But I will get my revenge.  And it begins here.  I've been in a bit of funk today (doesn't help that I slept until 1:30pm) but this, this has snapped me out of it.

Thanks, donkeygrooming.  I needed that.

Well, At Least He Wore Socks.

Why does Justin Gimelstob have to ruin anything that is even remotely close to being awesome?

Will Ferrell, Rainn Wilson, and a couple of old dudes I could give two shits about came to the Los Angeles Tennis Center at UCLA for the K-Swiss Global Tennis Showdown, a charity event to benefit The Swedish School of Los Angeles and The Sweden House.


Big Willy left his green hat at home to dress up like Mr. Fish and play a little exo with Mats Wilander.

He is nothing if not a master of timely comedy.  You're going down, HamThrax!

God I love the internet.
