update; LOLcat

Updates first, then you get a treat for good behavior:

1) Sharapova made her first French Open Semi! Woo-hoo! And then had her ass handed to her in said Semi. Boo-hoo! Oh well, I was pleased with her overall showing, though I wish she had shown UP for her match against the delightfully pigeon-toed babyfat queen who is young Serb Ana Ivanovic.

2) Jankovic and Henin up next. Oh please take her down, Jankovic! What fun would an all-Serbian final be? How BORED I am of Henin and her French Open "trifecta"! What fun would your first grand slam final be? What fun you are to watch during press conferences, what with your big smiles and your confusing forehead and mile-long nose and all! How proud would I be if I have predicted the winner of both the women's AND the men's tournament? WHAT DRAMA!

3) The ankle is sore, but much, much better--my panic has subsided. It's stiffer today after testing it by hitting a few balls last night (insert laugh-track here), but I believe whatever is wrong will lose and I will win through continued rest, anti-inflammatories, and ankle strengthening exercises.

4) I'm so tired of Iron and Wine I could vomit.

5) Grading papers on four hours of sleep is less than ideal, but I had to stay up late to sweat/writhe/whimper off the tummyache (still in denial that I'm lactose intolerant), then get up at 5 AM to watch the Sharapova-Ivanovic match. Being tired doesn't make the papers any harder to grade, really--I forget I'm exhausted until I stop working and come up for air...then...the peepers... droop...zzzz

zzzz
zzz

::snort::

Huh? What? Mom? Oh.

So anyway, grading papers on no sleep--yeah, not so bad considering today is...

6. MY LAST DAY OF TEACHING FOR THE NEXT YEAR AND A HALF! Cue party music! And... cue unemployment. No? Shit.

7. This cafe is full of crazies.

Okay, you've been updated. Here's your LOLcat:

LOL!

See, it worked!

Kitty again...and much much fun is had by all.

Hope that knee gets back into shape and unfortunately I'm totally getting back into Iron and wine after quite the furlow.

Ankle, Chris. Ankle.

Let's just go with "lameness," shall we? That kinda covers the whole leg.

[Karl]

No, "lameness" only covers Chris's newfound love of Iron & Wine.

The word you're looking for is "cripplitude".
