U.S. Open Tennis

And the final major of the year has begun! Looks like they did a great job of setting everything up after Irene. They're off to a pretty good start, although I really had to feel for the girl who flew in from Moscow today just to play and lose to Venus. Ouch.

As for Federer, I think the inability to really practice all weekend was affecting him. He looked a little rusty. But, as he said, it doesn't matter that it wasn't pretty; he still won!

In any case, my TV will be dominated by tennis for the next two weeks, much to the delight of my family, I'm sure. And while I'm doing that, I'll figure out something to get up in my gallery for August. Sadly, I haven't done much non-Strawberry Syrup digital art this month... I'll get something up, though.

Behind Again

Man. Take a creature of habit out of its habitat for a few days, and watch its little life spiiiiiiral out of control. It doesn't help that Wimbledon's currently going on - whenever one of the tennis majors hit the screen, Kit's productivity takes a dive. The worst one is by far the Australian Open, when anyone in the States who wants to watch live tennis needs to stay up to greet the morning light. With Wimbledon, I just end up staying up late, watching Wimbledon Primetime on The Tennis Channel (yes, I am that much of a dork, and yes, I did watch the epic Isner/Mahut match).

In any case, I have yet to reign in my wildly fluctuating sense of the temporal, so that doesn't help. I suspect I'm in the middle of another CBP, which always puts a dent in my personal timetable. However, I am determined to have a comic page done this week. At the moment, it looks like it'll go up sometime tomorrow evening at the earliest, but at least it's started!

*listens to the slow, sarcastic clapping of a single person*

... Yeah. I'll just get back to work now. :D;;
