Oooh, space-y

Posted in Posts, tagged , , on September 30, 2009 | Comments Off

I am barely recovered from lastnight’s U2 show at the horrendous FedEx Field.  It was a good show!  But man, does that stadium ever stink.  I hate that place!  The team sucks (but that, to a Giants fan like me, is not a bad thing), the location sucks, the signage is nonexistent, the directions suck, [...]

Cold War Nostalgia

Posted in Posts, tagged , on September 29, 2009 | 1 Comment »

Lastnight I watched the History Channel’s hilarious “Day After Disaster,” about what happens if a 10KT nuclear device is ground-detonated in front of the Capitol.  Luckily, in this scenario (a weekday morning, 9:30 AM) my office is inside the initial blast radius.  Makes me want that bumper sticker that says, “I’d Rather Be Vaporized” more [...]

Birthday Bits

Wow, it’s AKWs birthday! I can’t believe it; she’s 18 today. She can join the Army! She can vote! She can buy lottery tickets! When she was born, I was in college. My favorite prof had this thing he did on Mondays: his “who had the best weekend” mini-contest. People would volunteer what had happened [...]

So long, Zilla!

Cross-posted from dc.metblogs.com I know y’all are used to seeing sports posts from Frank and Patrick, but I just can’t help putting my two cents in on the news that Olaf Kolzig, beloved former goalie for the Capitals, has announced his retirement. When I moved to the DC area in 1993, I was in dire [...]

Haaaappy Biiirthday Bruuuuuce

I woke this morning to learn that Bruce is 60 today; I’m sure my mom baked a cake (at least metaphorically).  I was all set for a celebratory set on the iPod but I got to work and was busy, so I forgot.  But!  The adorable Chris Hayes tweeted his Bruce love earlier this afternoon, [...]

Driving on Car-Free Day

Posted in Posts, tagged , on September 22, 2009 | Comments Off

Lastnight was another sleepless one, until around 3:30 am.  I must have had some sugar or something during the evening and not realized it. I know it wasn’t while I was with JD, employing my finely-honed packing skills by helping her to prep for her yard sale this week. The long and short of it, [...]

Shoot the whole day down

Posted in Posts, tagged , on September 21, 2009 | Comments Off

Mondays, case of. Well, not really, especially considering how little sleep I was able to get lastnight.  It was toss, turn, toss, turn!  Ugh. But, I’m here and drinking my coffee so things could be worse. The weekend was nice!  The weather was great, and I took advantage by riding my bike up to Pentagon [...]

Sleepy Friday Morning Bits

Posted in Posts, tagged on September 18, 2009 | Comments Off

Yay, it’s Friday! This morning’s gray skies very nearly kept me asleep, though. I am already planning my weekend. Tops on the list, cleaning the house and my clothes, and my balcony.  We’ll see how much of that actually gets done. A relaxing Friday evening at home with the Fringe season premiere is definitely in [...]
