morning guys. this aussie open is killing my sleep patterns. been up since 3:30 watching the live matches.

hollywood -- yes you can connect the xbox 360 to your home network either wirelessly or wired. then you can connect to any or all pc's on your home network and access their videos, music and photos. performance depends largely on how fast your pc is and your wireless signal if you go that route. you can also plug in a usb hard drive or flash drive and play said videos, music or photos.

jrstreaker - sorry your match didn't go so well but at least you got to play tennis. was your opponent a 4.0 player who plays up in the 4.5 or a legit 4.5 player? :evil:

i had pretty heavy snow which towards the evening started to freeze on the back roads. no tennis with PPL and the auzzie. i did however save a lot of money on car insurance by switching to geico.

He was a 4.0. You have have to subtract about .5 from the league rating at sport and health (4.0 S&P = 3.5 USTA). But from what the guy said, there seems to be a few 3.0s who think they have 4.5 game.

Match would have been better if I could freaking hit a back hand......

Hi boys, I'm back! I know you all missed me dreadfully, right?

*crickets chirping*

Topaz departed safely. We had an awesome time, although she is experiencing a severe case of whiplash from trying to return my kickers. :)

One other note>>> she played very well with the KPS88, and has a text-book toss. Her game all-around has really improved, so kudos to her for putting the work in on the courts. You should all be very proud!!!!

Thanks so much Drak! It was a pleasure to once again play on the clay underneath the palm trees. And I'm ecstatic to have some pictures and video of my playing, especially with the KPS88!!!

I'll post my pictures as soon as I'm out of this neckbrace! D*mn kickers!

Auzzie and Vitaly, you may be interested to know that while I was down there, I demoed the RDS003 from one of the local tennis shops down there. Felt ok, but when I switched back to my kTour afterward, it was like night and day. Ktour for the win!

Next chapter...Drak in DC?!? :shock::twisted::)

PS...PPL, hey, at least our boys made a great last-minute run into the playoffs...can't be too disappointed, right?
 
topaz - yeah i'm a bit disappointed. the refs def missed that last pass interference call. they just didnt want to throw it cause it would have changed the game.

all this cold weather is driving me crazy. i really need to hit the courts. i'm so antzy from all this unused energy. anyone want to play sometime this week?

Even as a a steeler (lite) fan - I thought that was definitely pass interference. He tackled/tripped the guy before the ball was even there.

I thought so too until I saw a better slo motion video. I think curtis pulled a soccer players dramatic fall hoping for a call.

Diving in NFL football????? They can arrest you for even suggesting such a thing!

I'll have to look at it again, but if he did dive they deserved to lose.

JRstriker - How much is the tennis thing tonight? Hopefully I can play ok, I cut my hand pretty deep right where my thumb meets my palm <insert juvenile masturbating joke here>.

But the ball still hit Curtis in the hands. Remind me: what do they pay these receivers to do, anyway? :)

And the Cardinals lost a fumble recovery earlier because of a bungled call; think that might have changed the game a little bit? They do even out, ya know.

Maybe McNabb will take his unappreciated marbles and move to D.C. next year. He keeps hitting his Iggles' receivers in the hands, and they keep dropping it. Hey, 'Skins receivers can drop them as artistically as Iggles, and Danny will certainly pay him a lot more $$. :)

I agree with all you oddsmakers who say the Cardinals have a skunk's chance against those big, bad Steelers. About as much chance as, say, the Giants against the all-world Patriots last year. Yeah, it's a sure thing; bet the house on Pitt. Lightening never strikes twice, right?

JRstreaker -- i wanna hit!!! can i come out tonight? i kinda look like JRK -- only a foot shorter and a foot wider in girth. call me dude.

oh and all you fools who enjoyed the day off -- i was slaving away in the office. in fact i'm still here. yeah it's awesome. :(

xisbum! you crazy old lurker. we need warmer weather so we can have another meet.

good point though that the refs botched that kickoff call just before the half. cards should've had another easy 3 or 7 on the scoreboard. the curtis call at the end seemed right to me in a karmic sense.

Sappy, are you back from NY? I was very lucky, as I got in right at 10:30, and was in my apt by noon. Dulles was practically deserted, my suitcase was the fifth one out of the baggage claim, I had no wait for a shuttle to parking, and about a half hour to drive home. I had a window, and I made it!!! :) Tons, and I mean TONS of cops were out on the roads, though.

nope.. still out

any news on if adams morgan is packed? i have a feeling that parking is going to be a biatch

You know, I have no idea, but I signed up for an emergency text alert system, and from my understanding, the metro is pretty messed up right now.

I would assume that Adams Morgan would be packed with post-inauguration revelers, though. I don't think that would be so off base! When are you planning to come back?

It was fun talking to you the other day! LOL...haven't seen you in a while! Gotta get your butt back out to the courts!

Any news on traffic on the beltway?

I'm thinking of going Fairfax County Parkway to 50 to get to Annadale to avoid the toll road and 495.

TFM - can you e-mail me your cell number?

I don't know if I can get you out to hit since this is a practice meet with line-ups and the jazz. Maybe see if JKR can call the capt and have you sub since it sounds like JRK nearly sliced off his hand.

The Parkway was deserted around 11am! :)

You can also use Gallows Road and Columbia Pike to get in the Annandale Area...google maps is your friend. I would give you the directions but I can't remember the street names off the top of my head.

You're right, I'm acting like a little biznitch. I'll just tape it up and it should be okay... it's just dubs anyway.

I was watching the Nadal replay and I noticed his shoes don't look like my shoes, WTF?!?!

Alas, yes. Nadal couldnt get used to the ballistecs fast enough so he kept the Cages 2 (which are awesome!), and got them custom made to look like the current model.

He then went on to crush Rochus.

Sure its just temporary. He's just a bit tight about his stuff. Recall his rituals.

Nike rules.

I'm gonna paint job my stuff, then everyone will be like "whoa, where the hell did you get those, are you sponsored...?"

I just bought the shirt Nadal was wearing, it looked pretty cool. Nike rules but their **** ain't cheap. :-?

Dude! You did.

Can you make the Thursday clinic this week? Wear it and the shoes.

The shirt is tight fitting isnt it. Waffle lovers will not be able to pull it off.

Waffle lover??? Who could sup be refering to? I have no idea.......

Nike must not be too happy, everytime they go with something new for nadal it takes him 1 year to go about wearing it.

And blake in a polo with a collar just does not look right...

Like YOU Shcmad???
All I hear since i've been back to school is you gushing about this chick and how you want to meet her. I'm sure Floridians will set you up if you ask nice.

Topper, Supper, Drakulie, what say you?

Is Shcmad okay with ladies being taller than him? And not by a little, but by a lot? Check out how much taller she is than me in the pictures. (I'm assuming I'm thinking of the right person.)

She's on the board...hint hint hint.

Pay no attention to PP, Toepeezy. He's the one who's using her picture as his wallpaper on his computer.

Shcmad, don't make up these stories. It's ok.

I'm sure that Drak and the Floridians are planning a trip to the MAC, then you will be able to charm her.

panterka asked me to give all of you a message. It has two parts.

No... the guy that was asking about them was also shopping around on the bay as well as a few other MG sellers. I saw him posting on a few other threads. I think he was trying to get them for 80 bones, shipped.

No deal. :(

I put new overgrips on them today while watching the AO (because I was bored) and the prettiness of them had me enthralled, like the "Precious". I think I may start hitting with them again in the Summer... gotta get my forearm strength up though <insert yet another juvenile masturbating joke here>.

I meant I just ordered it today... probably won't arrive until Friday or 6:05pm on Thursday (which is what usually happens).

I also got me two pairs of shorts, the charcoal one's like Nadal was wearing too and a black pair. I'm not a Nadal fanboy, but when I'm home and bored I end up buying **** off the internet. I still need black socks though... after I placed my order I realized (f**k) I still need some black socks, too late... :-?

JKR - what happened? Doug said you weren't scheduled to play tonight and there was some miscommunication???

Sorry about that man. I asked Doug why he let you go since you are a good player.

Anyway. Played with Doug and we crushed some thing like 6-2 , 6-3. I hit one or those nasty inside-out Blake returns tonight. Felt so good.

No worries... I guess there was a mix-up. Some other dude showed up too and he didn't need to. Next week I said I could play.

I needed to let my hand heal anyways.

Yeah, Blake had that forehand going in his match. :)
