"...a stately pleasure-dome decree."
Reminder: Mother's Day is Sunday the 14th.
This is my new futon with new pillows:
I tested it out Saturday night with a friend and watched "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire," which was a lot like all the other Harry Potter films: a challenge, a mystery, a bad guy, beat the bad guy. But the effects were really cool. In the foreground of the picture is the hood of my aqarium, far background a lightning rod (doubles as a +1 copper shortspear in times of forced entry) from the roof of my grandparent's house, to the right my big gay shadowbox, to the left the doors to my bedroom.
It was quite an adventure finding a decent local futon store, but I eventually ended up with Ellen's Futon at 1728 Connecticut Avenue 202.518.0057. The woman who works there during the weekday was fabulous, helpful, didn't push for the hard sell, and knew what she was talking about. On the other hand the trashy, twitchy queens trying to hock futons at Z Futons & Furniture at 2130 P St NW were pushy, overtly lascivious and didn't listen to what I wanted or needed. Not only that, but the one salesperson who initially approached me and looked me up and down like a piece of meat, proceeded to hand me over to the next lascivious salesperson who also didn't listen to what I wanted and also lost my sale. I likes my attention but I loathe shopping - please don't make it an uncomfortable experience for me.
During the day for most of the weekend we played rugby in Baltimore. Fortunately it was warm enough for a lot of woofy shirtlessness all over the place. I did not play at all so there was plenty of time to join the shirtlessness and get a nice torso tan at least.
The backdrop homes off the pitch were extremely Baltimore in style. One more Saturday match, then a weekend off, then the Big Giant Gay International Rugby Tournament over Memorial Day weekend.

What? You reported on Goblet of Fire with no mention of the scruffy Durmstrang boys? Well, I guess they are a little young, although they do resemble of the cast of an Eastern European gay porn.

Yeah, everyone said "Oooh Jimbo, you're gonna love Viktor Krumm..." or whatever his name was, but I wasn't too impressed.
I am starting to like Professor Snape from a character point of view though...he's got a shady history but is always looking out for the interests of good.

Hey! You quoted Coleridge Taylor and referenced an Olivia Newton-John movie all in one fel swoop. Has anyone ever told you that you're rad? Well, let me. You're rad.

So annoyed that I missed your game, though my allergies have been kicking my ass for the past week and a half.
You didn't like Viktor Krumm? Are you sure you were looking at the right guy? A bit young yes, but he'll grow into it. There was another who was quite nice to look at.
