My TiVo would be watching Wimbledon, except I never manage to get time to watch the matches unspoiled.
Natter 52: Playing with a full deck?
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Sorry. I still don't have outside pants on either.
Partially I'm grumpy about Wimbeldon because I wanted to watch coverage, and my family wanted to watch NASCAR.
Which is another tick in the 'shrift is an alien baby' column.
Wimbledon:
This is surreal, watching people pray for rain so Serena Williams doesn't get her ass kicked.
I'm only mentally on vacation. This is gonna be a long day.
Wimbledon:
Unbelievable. Serena Williams can barely walk, and she's still winning points.
Dana, is it Serena's hamstring?
Dana, what's wrong with her that she can barely walk? I'm evidently going to have to fire up wimbledon.org. But I have no audio. Grr.
Wimbledon:
She crumpled with some kind of leg cramp. They treated her for it, but eventually, she had to get up and play. She's still really hurting and missing all kinds of shots, but she also sent a 110-mph ace down the court. She's about to lose the second set, bringing it to 1-all. She really needs a rain delay.
Wimbledon:
And there's the rain.
Cool! I wish I could be watching it.
Wait, no, I wish I could be home asleep resting my head. But, like second (wait, I also wish I could win the lottery, so third) I wish I could be watching it.
Except, of course, that there's rain.
I think the upshot is quite clearly that I'm avoiding two work tasks quite assiduously. If I put as much effort into them as I'm putting into avoiding them, I'd be employee of the year.
