kite festival etc.

so yesterday, caroline and i went to the kite festival on the mall. for the last three years i've wanted to go but instead was cooped up in sullivan's selling kites to people who actually were going. but now that my weekends have been liberated i was free to go. it was fun but i've never flown a kite in such a stressful environment, first off the wind was inconsistant and if your kite took a nose dive, it's likely to take out a picnicing family. secondly, every passing ten year old who had caught an upward draft felt it was their job to give you advice on how to fly a kite. "hey kid, i suppose you're too young to understand the word immasculation." my kite eventually became tangled with a cinderella kite and i had to spend some time making sure this young girl wouldn't remember this day as the kite festival where some dirty long haired guy destroyed her kite. our camera died early on, but here's a taste of the scene:





the pictures don't really do the festival justice - if you've never been i highly suggest you go next year.

later on we also went to martha's b-day party at the big hunt. we pregamed in adam's morgan. i had an awkward moment at asylum when i realized that i recognized the bartender from a miserable fifteen minutes i spent waiting for caroline in the fitting room at filene's basement last week. in any case, she made it pretty apparent that she'd bite off my head if the words "filene's basement" came out of my mouth. i mean, but come on, isn't that a crazy coincidence?


so tonight is WRESTLEMANIA, even though i don't intend on boring everyone with my wrestling opinions, wrestlemania is an exception, here are some predictions:

kane vs. great kali - kali will win, i just hope kane cuts him open with that hook

mvp vs. benoit - mvp will take the belt

ecw originals vs. new breed - new breed - probably will be one of the better matches - again i'm hoping for a lot of blood

money in the band ladder match - this one is very hard to call will it be edge, orton, or kennedy? i can't decide... its going to be the show stealer though

ashley vs. melina - a lumberjill match? obviously ashley is winning...

mcmahon and umaga vs. trump and lashley - lashley's going to win and mcmahon will get his head shaved - i'm actually really curious to find out what he looks like bald

hbk vs. cena - cena will retain the belt by hook or by crook

batista vs. taker - ah yes, the main event - even though this is batista's first time defending the belt at a wrestlemania i don't think he'll break taker's undefeated streak - i mean he's 13 and 0!
