When you take someone up on an invitation for a night out, and the invitation starts with “Come as you are, as you were, as I want you to be”, be forewarned. You won’t escape from such an event until well after noon the following day. When you do extricate yourself, with your mouth seemingly full of cotton, and your head echoing memories of a night you can’t quite forget, but prefer not to remember, you might find, as I did, that while you slept on a strange futon, yes some people still have futons, Andy Roddick, in a game of epic proportions, came as close as he ever had to conquering Federer in a grand slam — but didn’t.
Things are never as bad as they seem though. Once I get through this the future looks bright. Palin has resigned to do her work from the back end, that news has overshadowed the news of the rush for Michael Jackson memorial tickets, and Johnny Depp is the Mad Hatter. I couldn’t ask for more.
So, here is to the hair of the dog that bit me.
Proving once again that it’s not the size of the glass but what’s in the glass that counts.
Come again. And please, come as you are.

That’s all I can say. Been there. That poodle is too funny, the color of the bottle of Bombay Sapphire. Correct me if I’m wrong.

Oh, you’re right on the color.
Mouth full of cotton… that’ll teach ya!
Andy Roddick is the only A-Rod I can stand as an athlete. You know where I stand with respect to Ms. Word Salad. And, yes, we have a futon. Or three. Works great for bday party sleepovers.

I have only caught bits and pieces of the match as of now but at least he finally didn’t fold until the end.
I think that was a political poodle trussed up for the election…
… and yanno… why do people do that to their pets?? I just don’t get that.

As long as there was no worm to swallow you’ll be fine.
Poodles don’t care, they kind of like it. That shade is from the “warm” color palette I think.
Great song, haven’t heard it in a long time.

Poddles should always go with a cool color palette.…
No worm g, no worm.
If I were made to look like cotton candy, I’d be nervous about future.
I’ve come to the conclusion this weekend that I should get drunk more often. Usually I’m a caffeine freak, but lately the alcohol has done better.
For a brief moment I forgot about who the tennis player was, and your sentences went from..“sleeping on a futon to being conquered in a grand slam”, which opened my eyes a bit, and made me choke.

I think that cotton candy look might work for you Bennet.
I can’t hear that song without thinking about Definitely, Maybe now. It’s like one of the pivotal scenes in the movie and it’s exactly used for the same effect as you used it, Miss Cooper.

I’ve never seen that movie but want to now.
Bless Nirvana.
My time for that kind of weekend is long past. You’ll recover, but not with the hair of that dog.
I can’t wait to see Public Enemies even if some of the critics were only warm on it. Depp’s performance is supposed to be quite Deppish.
I was a at golf tournament missed the tennis entirely.
jacob´s last blog ..Congressional
I was at a wedding or some event of that kind at Congressional once. Nice place if I remember right.
Yeah I want to see it too. I have a light week maybe I can fit it in.
Good to see that you’re enjoying your evenings.
I too learned of Palin’s departure on someone else’s bed after drinking the previous night. (My gin of choice is Hendricks, though)
The speech was incredible to watch, but naturally I needed a transcript to know what she was saying.
And I swear that I don’t have a gun…

*COUGH* I was on a futon not in someone else’s bed.
Well I mean, it’s a bed, and someone else owns it. But point taken.

Listening to that song while looking at that photograph does things to me.
They had the commercial already to go congratulating Federer. Andy did a great job. He could have had that with one of two lost points in the second game.
Hope the mouth feels better.

good things I hope.
What an…ugly dog. Who would do such a thing? Any way, yes, there was a lot that happened in the media this week. Especially with the MJ ordeal. I was rooting for Roddick. Love the song! Very approrpriate.
a sad creature for sure though I doubt it’s the worse thing that could happen to it.
