I'd rather stay home and watch television. It's often funnier than killing stuff.

It's Fells Point Futon on Fleet Street. Strictly futons, covers and frames. Of the high quality sort. Fun, low-pressure peoples.

It's Fells Point Futon on Fleet Street.

That was my guess! Now I kind of wish I did need a futon!

Well, the stuff is classy enough to pass as a couch, should you need one. It's the most I've spent on any piece of furniture to date , but I'm well pleased with it. Mission-style in a rosewood finish (ie dark black-reddish like mahogany maybe?) It doesn't look like a college futon at all.

Now to decide on a cover other than batiked wall hanging. Hopefully you and msbelle will help me out with that. I've kinda whelmed.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Bummer Kat, I love Crystal Cove.

We're going to Catalina for 4th of July. My sister has been going for the past few years, we finally decided to join them.

And for my last random comment: Frances got her dance recital costume today. A sequined kitty costume in black and pink. It is obscenely cute. I PROMISE this time I'll take pictures.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Aww, cutiepie Francie kittie! We demand pictures. Yes.

Got my hair cut today. I went to Dick's Sporting Goods to buy some UPF clothing, and was headed down the sidewalk to Best Buy to look for summer idle time gaming software, and I got my hair cut.

It wasn't entirely impromptu; I'd been months overdue for the cut, ever since my Best Stylist Evah disappeared on me. But I wasn't planning to get it cut right then, thus the not having the Aeon Flux or the Friday Night Lights photos to hand. But it's an okay cut nonetheless, and I think I can conservative it up enough for the summer's fundraising. We shall see, I guess.

Theo, your stoop is gorgeous and I adore it!

sarameg, we bought a nice new futon, too, and wondered what to do with the old one. When they delivered the new one, we asked the guys if they'd take the old one for a fee and they did for like $30 or $40 bucks.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I AM SO FUCKING TIRED.

But I succeeded in driving my 49 year old convertible to Chicago - after we spent a few hours trying to get it started (turns out the new battery my dad put in was too small).

Did I ever mention that I hate driving at night when I'm very tried?

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I went to the show at the Grand Lake this afternoon!

The guy played the theme music on the Wurlitzer!

But first I had Arizmendi pizza, NOM NOM NOM.

We went to Spettro, and you were right! The food was excellent.

Glad to hear the drive went OK, tommy!

My porch is still standing in the morning light -- not that I was worried it wouldn't be, but it's still nice and shiny. The neighbors are probably holding little celebrations.

Sitting out in the backyard, reading my paper, eating and talking to a friend, I had an attack of White Liberal Guilt while the workers kept up a steady stream of work noises, but then I reminded myself they were being paid very well for working on a Saturday, and pretty obviously glad about it.
