hairy pooter and the order of the sphincter

friday night
this friday i went to pazo out in fell's point with jamie, steven, terri, bob, bill and paul. the food was pretty good, though the portions were very small, even at tapas standards. after we completely destroyed any tapas that were placed on our table, a few of us decided to order 1/2 entrees. jamie and i both got the seared yellowfin tuna. it was mighty tasty except for the sauce it was swimming in and it actually seemed much smaller than many of the tapas we got, so i wasn't too impressed with that aspect. we each got 2 slices of tuna and a small dollop of garlic mashed potatoes. it left me wanting more.

after pazo we all went to the central for some after dinner drinks and we arrived just in time to partake in the drink special (from 9-11). there was this cute new bartender working who was very inconsistent with his pouring. the drinks would be strong ... then they'd be weak. i'm sorry, but i like consistency in my bartenders ... either always make them strong or always make them weak (i'll go to another bartender if the latter). i want the bartenders to make me want to come back for me (not that i would ever quit drinking simply because the drinks weren't strong. no, i'll quit drinking when my liver moves out.)

i left around 1 a.m. because i was just too damned tired to stay out any longer.

saturday night
saturday night was a birthday party for jessica at her place. it was fun and we ordered sushi from sushi-sono--jamie went to pick the food up out in columbia--and we ate in nearly pitch black conditions. oh, did i forget to mention that right before we all got there, a power-line, approximately 20 yards away, had come down, thrusting the neighborhood into darkness. apparently, however, i make really good martinis in the dark.

sunday
sunday we had movie plans to see 'harry potter and the order of the phoenix.' steven and i arrived at the mall early and decided to grab a bite to eat at chevy's, which i think is owned by chevy chase .... is he mexican? we started out with an appetizer of "how you want it" guacamole which meant the poor waitress had to come out to our table and mash up the avocados and add the spices and stuff. mmm, nothing like freshly mushed avocados made from the sweat and tears of migrant workers. oh, wait ... she was white. still, it had the same amazing flavor and wholesome goodness as if it were produced under harsh .50 cent-an-hour conditions. i loved it! for dinner, we each got the trio sampler and it was more food than i had anticipated, but it was very tasty.

afterward, we met up with everyone at the movie theater. jessica had caught up to us as we left the restaurant and as we arrived at muvico, jessica, theresa and the mr. were there and, much to my surprise, mrs.twink. i figured she'd decided to come see the movie with us ... i was wrong. no, instead she went to see 'ratatouille' and, from what i gather, she looked very much like a child predator sitting by herself in a theater full of children. i always had my suspicions. quick! notify the parents in your neighborhood!

jamie's sister showed up shortly after and we all purchased our tickets and went inside where our stubs were taken by a woman with one of the finest goatees i've seen in a long time. it rivaled my own. i was jealous.

ok, so i know the title of this blog makes it sound like i didn't like the movie. that's not it at all. the title, honestly, is for mrs.twink's benefit. i actually enjoyed the movie very much, tho i didn't like it any more of less than the last one. kind of ... the same. it was very dark, however, which i enjoyed as it lends credence to the fact that these movies are moving toward the "not really for children" genre. although it followed the book fairly closely, i did notice quite a few things that were left out of the movie that were in the book, most of them trivial. though, toward the end of the movie there was one bit that i was looking forward to seeing and it was left out. oh well. all that aside, i think this movie had the best end-scene battle sequence than the previous harry potter flicks. the battle between the death eaters and the children was well done and action packed. reducto! the subsequent battle between the death eaters and the aurors and, ultimately, siruis black's death, was also very well done and finally, the end battle between voldemort, dumbledore and harry was very cool. overall, the movie was pretty excellent and ron weasley is really getting uglier.

i got home from the movie and lay down on my bed to watch tv and promptly fell asleep. this, i woke up 3 hours later and couldn't get back to sleep until midnight. i feel really exhausted today but it's probably my own fault. when i couldn't get back to sleep i started watching 'the covenant,' which is like 'the craft' for boys. the boys in this movie, however .... hot! ... especially caleb. yum. he makes me think dirty things. check it out if you haven't' seen it. the movie isn't all that great, but boy ... get a bib ready because drooling is a definite possibility.

otherwise, nothing else really happened this weekend. i have pictures, but will have to post them later as i didn't have time to work on them. hope everyone had a great weekend! what did you do?
