Fala ingles?

Hey kids. You know I love you right? But bloggers gotta rest too.

On that note, the day after Thanksgiving I’m hopping a plane to Portugal, so I won’t be around next week.

Most likely I’ll be strolling around the streets of Lisbon, trying to figure out where the gayborhood is, so I can take a Portuguese lover (people say that, right? “Take a lover”? But it’s mostly rich people who use those weird phrases… like “keep a home in the Hamptons.”). So we’ll see how that works out. Hopefully he won’t speak English, I won’t speak Portuguese, but we will be fluent in the language of love.

I’m totally joking by the way — I’m just going to be walking around and taking pictures with my straight girl traveling companion.

But I digress. Anyway, I’ll try to plan some time-delayed posts for next week. But, yeah, don’t expect much out of me.

The good news, though, is that I’ve recruited a guest blogger to do news for next week. My friend Jamie, who keeps up the movie review site Re-Media, will be providing you with your morning television briefing. And more, if he so desires. What can I tell you about Jamie: he lives outside Baltimore. He’s a vegan. He’s always carried a torch for Damon Albarn of Blur. He took me to see Van Helsing and I’ve never forgiven him. Although that was a long time ago and it could actually have been my idea.

So, we’ll see how this goes. Weeeeee!

Oh, and if we have any Portuguese readers (hey, it could happen) who would like to show us around, let me know.
