For the first time (if I’m not mistaken), I, the habitual slacker, filed my tax returns before my parents filed theirs. Granted, I filed 10 days before the deadline, but still. I talked to my dad on the phone yesterday afternoon, and he said he just mailed theirs out. My response was, “Really? I did mine last week! (Ha ha.)” Anyway, this was my first time filing the federal forms online. I used H&R Block’s website, and it was pretty straightforward. For my local taxes I filed on the official D.C. site, which I’ve used for a couple of years now, and I already have my refund, paltry as it may be, sitting in my bank account. Yay.

Ooh. The entire text of Shakepeare’s Romeo and Juliet on a shower curtain. Or duvet set. That’s pretty cool… or cheesy? I guess it all depends on the presentation, really. If I were to see this in a novelty catalog, I might not give it a second glance, but given the rest of the designer’s portfolio and manufacturer’s product line, all very chic and smooth, the Shakespeare duvet seems kind of cool. I can see it in a bedroom with lots of rich red—maybe cover part of it with a throw—which would pick up on the one line from the play printed in red, not black: “O Romeo, Romeo! wherefore art thou Romeo?” (Via MoCoLoco.)
