Ya gotta know your body.<br /><br />Anyways, it's my understanding that NBC is re-airing the Maya Rudolph hosted SNL tonight. I watched it the first time, and I'll tell you: it's the best wall-to-wall show they've done in years. A pretty good birthday present, if you ask me.<br /><br />Weird day mood-wise. I'll make up for it tomorrow. I think I've got too many projects going on at the same time, and I need to cut back and focus. But still, really, that's a good problem for me to have, but only if I can manage my distractions.David Marlowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05691690666085909966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8540249376013484103.post-65329087237920575822012-06-09T16:54:40.139-07:002012-06-09T16:54:40.139-07:00Red clay is so cool.

The skidding, the weird bounces you get with backspin, and nothing makes your day like a ball popping off the tape. I ended up playing on it today instead of grass. It was still awesome. <br /><br />Despite her obvious HgH use, I still like Maria, and was happy to see her win today. It was quite a mismatch. Here's my place, by the way -- the uncool cool club for hippies who don't golf. <br /><br /><a href="http://germantowncricket.org/" rel="nofollow">gcc</a>rundeephttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13268692799782942178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8540249376013484103.post-38018534943943828992012-06-09T10:35:20.267-07:002012-06-09T10:35:20.267-07:00Not Buckingham, but we did lose Bob Welch.

The whole time I was thinking, "Isn't that the guy from Tommy?"<br /><br />The French Open is perfect for me this year because, on account of the time difference, it's absolutely awesome to watch when I'm taking one of my 3000 breaks and not feel too guilty about not working.

I still adore Roger, and he may be my favorite of all time., but he still can't move like Jagger.

Either men or women. Maria Sharapova's parents are 5 5 and 5 6, you think she was an accident? Nope. That fact, plus age, plus the fact he's a dad, means he will never be number 1 again I fear. He's still my favorite, and the French remains the tournament I most would like to see in person. Tomorrow I get to play on grass -- My favorite personal surface. Roger would still have a shot at Wimbeldon if they handn't been screweing around with the grass the last couple of years. Grass tends to equalize a game, but now they've gone to a brand that plays like har-tru in England. No fun at all.rundeephttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13268692799782942178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8540249376013484103.post-53982121995667225142012-06-08T18:26:49.399-07:002012-06-08T18:26:49.399-07:00I don't know; we'll never agree on The Sto...I don't know; we'll never agree on The Stones.
