We're about to wrap up our New York trip. Currently packing to catch our flight bright & early in the morning.
Yesterday we watched the U.S. Open women's finale and witnessed Serena Williams lose not only the match but her temper. She took out her subpar tennis out on the umpire by arguing a call, which ended up getting her a penalty and costing her the first set. While Samantha Stosur played good, solid tennis, Serena lost it on her own. My advice to Ms. Williams: less attitude, more tennis.
Now if only Kim Clijsters had been there!

We're almost packed for our New York trip. We're leaving at the asscrack of dawn with a 6:15 AM flight. There's no point in going to bed, so we can sleep it off during the six-hour flight, which should be enough to last us the rest of the day since we arrive in the afternoon.
One of our items of the to-do agenda is going to a Cirque du Soleil show, which we've been meaning to attend for a while, so it should be a fun outing.
In the meantime, I've been playing Dead Island, and it's more fun than I had anticipated. I'm a little bit disappointed in the lack of zombie dismemberment. I seem to recall screens and trailers that showed more gore, but I'm enjoying the RPG element and the exploration of the environment.
I was going to check out Space Marine as well, but alas, there isn't enough time!
