Brilliant concept! But as our very sharp readers have pointed out, bad tennis.

radiohead: I think the reenactment is inaccurate. How could Nadal be serving from the Ad side when the score is 40-40? Or from the Deuce side when he has the Advantage (match point)?

Anyway, I hope Djokovic wins. I can’t deal with Nadal being a three-time Wimbledon champion. Bring back the original grass courts! Hehe.

Petra Kvitova just won her first major on her first try, beating Maria Sharapova with an ace on championship point.

Tonight’s final: Nadal or Djokovic?

2345. Number One in the world and Wimbledon champion. Today Novak Djokovic is the king of the world.

How could we not like him?

They’re called pornstar martinis because they’re dirty (contain olive juice).

I had just spent ten days at Kate Middleton’s father’s old school living the life of a ten-year-old prep pupil. Up at 6 am, sitting down to a healthy breakfast at 7, school by 8, home by 5, dinner at 6, in bed by 8 pm. I’d never been so wholesome in my life, not even when I was ten.

My Gay Friend reacted as if I’d just gotten out of prison. “We must go out!” he declared, so my first night in London was spent purging my systems of all that goodness.

First we went to a gay bar named G-A-Y. If I were to open a bar called S-T-R-A-I-G-H-T would that be discrimination? G-A-Y serves San Miguel Beer on tap. I had a glass of wine sitting next to two burly men smooching. Someone’s Saturday night was off to a flying start, and the sun was still out.

In Emotional Weather Report, today in the Philippine Star.

We’re reading The Invention of Hugo Cabret by Brian Selznick. It was recommended to us by our friend Ricky.

“Brian Selznick?” we thought. “The guy with the hair and the swing orchestra? Who used to be with the Stray Cats?” No, that’s Brian Setzer. Brian Selznick is an author and illustrator.

Hugo Cabret is a children’s book that contains 300 pages of illustrations. Martin Scorsese is turning it into a 3D movie. The truth is if Scorsese were turning a take-out menu into a movie we would be interested in the take-out menu.

The book’s protagonist Hugo Cabret is a 12-year-old orphan who lives in a Paris train station. Lots of people live in train stations—at least that’s what the movies tell us.

The Invention of Hugo Cabret is available in hardcover at National Bookstores, P1049.

Minamahal kong Tita Janey,

Ako po’y mahigit-kumulang dalawampu’t-walong taong gulang…Kahit papano’y nakaangat na ng kaunti sa buhay at nakapag-impok ng mumunting halaga…Sabi nga ng mga babaeng katrabaho ko, ang kulang na lang ay nobya. Ang palagi ko namang sinasabi sa kanila (bagkus sa aking isipan lamang) ay “che!!!”

Matagal ko nang alam na ako’y hindi itinadhanang makipag-isang dibdib sa babae.  Alam ito ng aking pamilya at mga matatalik na kaibigan. Gayunpaman, hindi ako naglaladlad ng kapa sa opisina pagka’t medyo makaluma ang pananaw ng kalakalang aking pinamamasukan ukol sa ganoong bagay.  Ngunit hindi naman ito ang suliraning aking idudulong sa inyo.

Mula nang napagtanto ko ang aking tunay na pagkatao (walong taon nang nakalilipas) ay nasubukan ko nang makipag-ulayaw sa mga taong kagaya ko.  Kasing dami ng araw sa isang linggo ang naging nobyo ko (walang nagsabay, ngunit may magkadikit, hihihi).  Walang nagtagal ng higit sa tatlong buwan.  Lahat ng pakikipagsamang iyon ay nagwawakas dahil sa akin.  Kahit anong sabihin ko mang dahilan  (hal. “It’s not you it’s me”, “This is not working out”, “We’re just too busy”) ang katotohana’y ako’y nagsasawa lamang.

Kasalukuyan akong nakikipagkita sa isang napakamabuti, matalino, masipag at makisig na nilalang.  Tawagin nalang natin siyang “DZZt”.  Sa kabila nang wari’y walang bahid niyang pagkatao ay nakukuha ko pa ring makipagniig sa iba’t-ibang mga lalake—karamihan sa kanila’y di maihahambing kay DZZt.  Ako’y nangungulumihanan—ikawalong lalake ko na ‘to.  Ang ika-lima hanggang ika-pito kong nobyo’y di naman nalalayo kay DZZt sa kabutihan, katalinuhan, kasipagan atbp.  Masasabi kong maraming uri na ng lalake ang aking nasubukan.  Darating ba ang panahon kung kailan ako’y magsasawa sa pagsawa?   O habang buhay bang kasingdalas ng pagpalit ng “Now Showing” sa Robinson’s Movieworld ang pagpalit ko ng nobyo?

Nagmamahal,

D. Makapanatili
