US Open 2011 - Wednesday, Part 1

[guingel]

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

FELI! Looking very good!

BTW this 36-year old is still totally a fangirl, thank you very much! ;)

So lovely!! Speaking of which, have you seen this: http://ambitiouspants.tumblr.com/post/9687851584/thank-you-rfet-thank-you

Hahaha I'm just very into saying woman or lady instead of girl for adults - although of course fangirl and fanboy are their own separate thing. She was an excellent fangirl!

I HAD NOT SEEN THAT! THANK YOU VERY MUCH! :D

So amazing, isn't it?? Nothing about what's happening in the background of that video suggests that in the foreground there should be an old dude talking about... idek what he's talking about? Massages? Oxygen chambers? The power of Feli's butt leading to Spain's dominance in DC?

I'm imagining someone saying "Umm... does Feli know we're filming? Should we tell him to pull up the towel? Or at least his panties?" and everyone else on set going "DON'T RUIN THIS FOR US. DON'T RUIN THIS FOR THE WORLD."

Fabulous pictures!

Thanks! I passed on the compliment to the photographer. :)

1.) I'm glad that you got through the storm OK! I saw it on the news and couldn't help thinking about you, especially after the earthquake beforehand. ^-^

2.) LOL FOREVER at you attracting the people you write about. XD XD XD (Speaking of which : Did you delete the entry about sledge hockey? I recently looked for it, but couldn't find it anymore.)

3.) I never knew that tennis had several games going on at the same time even at major competitions! Did it feel weird to be somewhere that you normally only ever see on TV?

1) The earthquake made everything that much more "djisofjseirewaELM!????" but yeah, everything turned out totally fine where I was! Which was at Katie's place - absolutely nothing different from any other bad storm - we stayed inside and didn't notice. It got stuffy from having all the windows closed but that was it! My parents were without power for a couple days (some people still are. DX) and when I got back to my apartment I found my windows had leaked a little so a few pillows and things that were by the windows are a bit smelly and awful now - but nothing too dear

1. My God. Those pics of Feli. That shirt looks great on him (which is actually rare because the designs aren't usually good). But it's nothing compared to that video clip.

2. Between Stosur and Petkovic, those are two scary bodies. Ana in particular looks so small in comparison.

3. You got the Squirrel w/ Elena pic! Really captured the hilarity of that moment. Too bad my angle sucked when it came to taking a pic of Judy Murray - hell, I barely spotted her even when I heard where she was.

1. I'm totally feeling the shirt! I remember people joking that Juanqui would come back when Joma had a kit that didn't burn your eyeballs and look what's happened! The turquoise in particular looks lovely on Feli.

THAT VIDEO OH MY GOD. I will never be fully over just the mere fact of its existence.

2. Ana did look small! I even heard someone near me mention it (not loud enough so she could hear). But she looks healthy-skinny, hopefully? So if it works for her game then hopefully she's ok.

3. I was so happy that Katie was able to get that moment with her trying to shoo the squirrel. XD So funny! And I'm so relieved that Judy Murray wasn't sitting right the hell next to me or something!
