Greetings, loyal minions. Your Maximum Leader, effective about one hour ago, became a bachelor for the next 5 days.

On the one hand, he will very badly miss the Villainettes and Mrs. Villain. But on the other hand he will only have to share the Villainschloss with his faithful and trusty hound.

He can already hear the deafening sound of silence around him.

And it is glorious.

He does have some stuff planned. For instance tonight he has to do some bachelor shopping. He needs to buy some victuals for this week. Also, he may go and rent a naughty movie. Dinner will be from his favourite chinese place in town. He may pick it up instead of require delivery. This will allow him to engage in playful banter with the drop-ead gorgeous proprietor of said restaurant.

Tomorrow night he is going to the Nationals/Dodgers game.

Wednesday night he is planning on coming home and cooking himself a big ole Delmonico Steak and a massive lobster. He will wash it down with some Egri Bikaver. Then he plans of finishing the bottle of Egri Bikaver while watching Burton and Taylor in “The Taming of the Shrew.”

Thursday night is open.

Friday night is going to be crab cakes, cole slaw, and fresh corn. It will be washed down with cold beer and followed by hours upon hours of playing Rome: Total War.

He may also find time to blog a little…

Carry on.
