youre right!

nymag has a new sports section, and they really hit it out of the park with this article on the shabby state of new york public tennis.

its like the last frontier of sports, as players bully and complain their way onto courts, and the "managers" do little to nothing to maintain control.

fix it!

the us open makes me want to play, but i shouldnt have to schlep to prospect park to play tennis.

NeRd aLeRt!

just kidding about that second, uglier design for the new Brooklyn Nets stadium. Forest City Ratner gives SHoP a chance to spruce up the Ellerbe Becket design with improved results. Who wants to take bets on what this monster is going to look like when (if?) it finally gets built. The biggest insult... Frank Gehry chairs in the renderings of the luxury suites. ctm.

george clooney movie

its about being laid off...

inside the movie, real people who have been laid off were interviewed and appear telling their stories as people who have been laid off.

happy 09.09.09!!

i'm pretty sure three 9's is the mark of the beast, but so far this day is pretty uneventful. i've scoured the internet for reasons to get excited about it, but so far nothing. i couldn't care less about beatles rock band. in fact, it gives me the creeps, and i want it to get off my tv. and apparently, apple's having some sort of event centered around an ipod...but i can't make any sense of that either. it seems in the UK you can dial 999 if you have a silly emergency.

i did come across a wonderful wikihow with some great ideas of how to celebrate.

here are 2 things i AM looking forward to today:

1) going to see federer, soderling, and oudin at the US open.
2) president obama getting me some healthcare tonight in his big speech.

brb outside : labor day bbq

2Pz friend kathleen invited joel and i over to her home in bay ridge yesterday to hang out with her delightful family, eat some delicious bbq, and enjoy their beautiful backyard. we had lots of fun, of course.

i just wanted to introduce everyone to her awesome kids (and i don't even like kids, so that's saying something). huck and connor were a delight. you might ask....kylie, what did those children do to win you over? well, i'll tell you.

here they are laughing mercilessly at joel for not having any friends until high school. how humiliating!

and look at the way connor eats his hot dogs!!!

what's for lunch? chicken burger, chips, pickles, and a delicious pasta salad featuring homegrown tomatoes!

huck said he was planning on being a wide reciever for the ohio state suckeyes, for the sole reason of 'they spend more money than any other program'. joel and i informed him about the vols and how rich they are. i don't think he was convinced, but joel showed him some of his peyton manning moves anyway.
