US Open 2011 - Wednesday, Part 1
Yesterday Katie and I went to the US Open! IT WAS AWESOME. We saw at least a game or two of 18 matches, I think, and did drive-by hellos of 2 or 3 more. XD We went with quantity over quality - there were only about 5-6 matches that we saw close to a full set, and the rest we popped in for a couple games and soaked in a lot of doubles action and ( Read more... ) -
this entry is pretty pointless, but I need to ramble about Shackleton
wow, sir ernest shackleton looks so different when he has a beard to when he's clean-shaven. of course, he also tends to grow the beard primarily when he's on an antarctic expedition and that'll age the skin a bit. It's not that he's really old in the beard pics, though; he didn't live to a super old age or anything.
no beard:

sports and toys and food joy!
ahhhhhh, reading articles about the Davis Cup. :D And Schalke! God, this weekend really did its best to make up for last on the sports results front! Although actually last weekend I was like AUGH I'LL JUST FOCUS ON CURLING and the curling results this time weren't so amazing. Although I still like the teams in the finals (which are happening now) ( Read more... ) -
actually, I'm feeling like I'm having an icon crisis today, but I can't make new ones right now!
I know, I haven't posted in forever and now I'm just doing an icon meme. If you're wondering what I've been doing with my time, I have been watching sports. Or hanging out at ontd_extreme. I also went to the USA-Brazil match, which I actually did sort of write up but it's sitting in an email draft - it started as a comment and then I was like "what the hell, I ( Read more... ) -
slightly awkward sled hockey introduction post
Damnation! I never finished updating/refining this entry, originally posted in my beloved winter sports comm (I just learned way too much more about all the athletes and I didn't even know where to start) and tonight is the sled hockey episode of Ace of Cakes! I will just take a quick skim through and then post what I've got. Sorry it's so bulky ( Read more... ) -
Actual going out doing real life things with friends!
So I've barely had much time to myself over the past week - I have done something every single day since Thursday (I wrote this on Wednesday during the day, that evening I did just sit at home and FFA at _extreme and read tennis fanfic and watch TV. Tonight Katie is over to hang out but she's on the phone). I usually try not to be busy 6 days in a ( Read more... ) -

adventures in memory loss
Had the stupid college student alcohol experience a couple years too late - drank a lot of really strong drinks in a pretty short time on Friday, ended up throwing up on a stoop for at least 2 and a half hours and needing to be taken home in a cab. Luckily a friend of mine stuck with me and a very, very new friend of ours really took care of me ( Read more... ) -
where i've been - busy becoming a sports fan
Hiiiiii. It's been, like. . . a month? I fail. Before I was all sucked up into the Olympics and then it was the Paralympics and now it's a combo of sled hockey, curling, and ontd_extreme-type stuff although to a lesser extent than before ( Read more... )
