i'm a slave 4 U
OK, so MAL got better when I just hung up the chaps and hung out in the lobby with my friends Ron and Dave. I met both of them when I first moved to DC, as we had "similar interests" back in tha day. Then I introduced them to each other and they lived happily ever after as a monogamous leather couple, so I figured I might as well hang out with other birds of a feather and ended up having good sit down chat with them and a teammate from the rugby team. I did drive up the nerve to talk to one guy who looked like a furry redneck, but he was coupled up too. Oh well. They were looking for tickets to the dance later that evening, and some other rugby teammates had scored some free tickets they weren't going to use, so I gave the couple the tix as I had already bought my own. My good deed for the weekend, and they were appreciative.
The dance was fun, the sights were totally hot, and the music was really good. I'm glad the DJ didn't put up any kind of butch pretense, as he freely played remixes of Britney's "I'm a slave 4 U," and Madonna's "Erotic," mixed in with teases of "Sexual" the whole night, so I had fun squealing to some girly pop tunes amidst all the testosterone. I did catch up with a lot of old friends, and found out yet another acquaintance of mine ended up winning the pageant. Congrats to Steve and good luck at IML. (Pssst...Steve plays Magic: The Gathering and goes to Renaissaince Festivals! Totally fits with Margaret Cho's theory on those who go to such events of either kind...)
I danced with Gurl and Jeremy and Dave and butterflied around the place chatting with lots of folks and generally had a good time. Never caught up with "Dick Wolfe" though, but maybe next year.
Oh, Battlestar Gurlactica night rocked, and the series looks like it's gonna be rife with gritty dark drama. Unlike the first series, this one focuses a lot on the fleet's search for basic needs. They have to worry about food, water, and are still running scared from those nasty Cylons. Jamie Bamber had some fine red scruff going on in the episode '33'. After I mentioned that the actress Katee Sackhoff (who plays Starbuck) is bound to become a lesbian icon, Gurl coined the new word Dykon. We are mesmerized by the new bizarre and evilly intelligent Cylons, who seem to have a monotheistic religion of some sort, and enjoy fucking with humans on a psychological level. Is this Cylon/human war a post-9/11 analogy? Sci-fi often mirrors issues in the real world, so stay tuned...
Howdy, cowboy! Just had to share that pic.

I loved the original Battlestar when I was a kid- but hardly ever got to see it as my father hated science fiction. I should have told him that if I had watched it I would have been straight.

Dick Wolfe rings a bell, hmm trying to remember something. Have that piece of paper around here somewhere. Grumble. What does he look like?

Now I remember who you meant..The blonde right? With the goatee and the adorable face? Well maybe he'll fly you out to visit him; of course you'd HAVE to put out.
