Grumpy about:

Order fulfillment screwups by at least three companies.

Jalapeno burns. Note to self: Wear gloves next time, you idiot.

Getting stuck in traffic. Note to self: Football season's here - get those dates into your planner!

Happy about:

Some good results from Taiwanese and Taiwanese-American players at the U.S. Open: Wild card Vania King upset a top-20 player to reach the third round of women's singles; she also won a tight first round women's doubles match (with Monica Niculescu (Roumania), seeded 12th, against Lucie Safarova (CZ) and Galina Voskoboeva (KAZ)); in mixed doubles, she's pairing with Marcelo Melo (Brazil) against the #1 seed, Huber (US) and Bhupathi (India). Rendy Lu lost in the first round of men's singles (sigh), but is playing doubles with Dudi Sela (Israel); they upset the #13 seed earlier tonight and next play Granollers/Robredo (Spain), which is definitely in the realm of doability.

Other Taiwanese players in this year's Open:

Yung-Jan Chan, playing women's doubles with Katarina Srebotnik (Slovakia) - won first round match in straight sets.

Kai-Chen Chang, qualifier, women's singles - beat the 25th seed first round, lost in second round to a top 50 player

Chia-Jung Chuang - played women's doubles with Canadian Aleksandra Wozniak, lost in the first round to a Taiwanese-Chinese pair. Playing mixed doubles with German Christopher Kas.

Su-Wei Hsieh - won her first round women's doubles match playing with Shuai Peng (mainland China, and a top 50 player in both singles and doubles); playing mixed doubles with Kevin Ullyett (Zimbabwe; he's won two Slams in men's doubles and one in mixed)

There was also at least one Korean-American player in the women's doubles' draw as well.

(...and, that's more time than I'd intended to spend poking around the usopen.org database and Wikipedia (whose writeups of most pro tennis players are well-organized, I've found). Back to dueling with paperwork and dog fur...)
