travels
In my excitement over the exploits of Houses Revlon and Illusion, I forgot to mention my weekend adventures. On Saturday I drove over the harrowing Bay Bridge to the Eastern Shore for a lovely, mercifully short Methodist wedding for one of my Peace Corps friends. My car mates Phil and Kevin were as eager as I to be in a situation that is conducive to getting nookie, or at least meeting new, well-dressed people. Weddings are great for that, even for gay boys. I don't think there were any other single gay males there, but the reception was right on an inlet in the Bay, and I got to see my first blue crab in the wild. They are much busier than I thought.
The nice thing about the wedding was that it was obviously a marking point in their relationship, not the high point. The ceremony was spartan, short and meaningful. Both gays and straights often put too much focus on the wedding, and not the marriage. All men must be wary of "husband-hunters" who seek completion via relationship. A partner doesn't complete you, he/she complements you.
Sunday was tech day. I spent much of it upgrading and updating my PC, and working on getting ftp connection to jimbo.info. Jon helped me out a lot, and will be doubling my memory soon. No more slow, cranky 'pooter! Damn thing still crashes when I use ICUII though.
I have purchased new memory for less than $20, and have also ordered a digital cam for a song! Mucho arsty photos soon to come. If I'm lucky I'll get the cam before this weekend's trip to NYC. I'll be hangin out with jimbo, visiting the Pokemon museum, and will see New Yorkish things. Not going to Ground Zero or to the Today Show studio, thank you.
I am dying to hear what Andrew Sullivan has to say about HIV+ muppets.

but Pokemon is Right next to the Today show...
I'm tortured by walking by Today every day on the way to work & fighting past the seeming millions of tourists from Iowa who just want to catch the smallest glimpse of Al. All I want to do is get down the block & get them the hell out of my way. And who says New Yorkers aren't friendly? :)

Ahh...you forget that I live in DC, work next to Union Station, with a gym next to a major hotel. I'm ALWAYS trying to get around wide-eyed fucking tourists! I will not be patronizing the Today Show, thank you. Only the Pokemon museum.
