Good point. I'd balk at living in an apartment decorated in purple and gold (translated--yellow), the colors of the "Purgolders." How lame is that for a name?
Ooh, I think I know where Sail went to highschool.
So there is something I can do, besides scream like a woman?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I love the idea of having a grand staircase.
The mop goes next to the fridge. Or you can buy a freestanding broomcloset thing. That's what my parents did, anyway.

I don't know about either MP3 players or iPods, Narrator. If the iPod is an MP3 player +, and if they're about the same price, then I say get him the iPod. If his cultural deprivation works significantly in your pocketbook's favor such that he doesn't care or doesn't want it, you might want to get him a plain old MP3 player, because kids break stuff.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
My mop used to fit in the bathroom closet, but in the new apartment the closet has shelves, so I haven't found a good home for it yet.

The evil is this way?
Thanks for the feedback. The mini-iPod is a bit more than I wanted to pay, but I can swing it for him. I'm his confirmation sponsor, so I don't mind going over budget.
I also think I need to get him something religious. He's got rosaries and bibles from his First Holy Communion.

You could get him some other religious medal. Is he chosing a patron saint for the Confirmation?

Oh yeah -- Narrator, I know people who are very happy with their cheaper-than-an-iPod MP3 players. They just aren't as cool.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

This isn't the kind of gift that would work for everyone, but those who like it really like it -- if you know his name saint (either his confirmation name or just his own everyday name), look for a supplier of Orthodox icons (if you have no Orthodox community locally, I'm sure there's an online source or fifty somewhere on one of the internets), and get an icon of that saint. You can often find littlish handpainted icons for $20 and change, and the art is very stylized and ancient-looking and eerily beautiful.
eta: Handpainted icons (including custom orders) by an Orthodox monk at St. Skete
Considerably more expensive but beautiful handpainted icons in tempera paints on wood by an Orthodox supplier called Liturgix
Less expensive but still beautiful icons from an Orthodox artists' group called Come and See
