It’s Senior Night at HHS! Very exciting. The seniors on the football, dance, and cheer squads will be introduced along with family members and get some love from the crowd! Whoo! Yeah, I don’t really understand it either. We didn’t have this stuff at RHCS in the 80s. At least, I don’t remember it. I [...]

Burn after Reading

Yesterday I decided to download some new books for listening, since I’ve got a bunch of audible.com credits building up. Unfortunately, one of my choices was, yes, The Lost Symbol. As you may know, spotting bad DC geography and similar phenomena in TV and film is one of my favorite pastimes. So, I thought the [...]

So, today is another gray autumn day in DC. The good news is, curry is good for you! Does this mean I need to visit the BCC again soon? I THINK IT DOES. Lagaan! In big local news, the Chinatown Coffee Company manager Nick Cho, of the infamous “junkpunching” incident, is officially facing some serious [...]

So, lastnight was a very exciting night at my apartment building, and not in a good way. I was watching TV (true crime, as usual) and relaxing with the kitteh. The window was slightly open since the heat is on in the building now, so it’s often too warm for me. Suddenly, I heard a [...]
Thought of the day

Last week’s Frontline featured an interesting statistic: the global derivatives market at one point (I don’t remember exactly, and am too lazy to look it up) totaled something like $595 trillion. Then the dude said it again, “that’s $595 trillion.” I remembered that US GDP was something like $14 trillion. Total global GDP was something [...]
Don’t Get Too Close

Folks! What’s happening? Have you missed your trusty blog posts? I know you have. I’ve been sick as a dog since Wednesday last, and man, let me tell you, it hasn’t been any fun at all. The good news is, it looks like I’m not going to drop dead of the flu! Just have a [...]

I don’t know if you noticed, but last week was All-Kennedy-Assassination-All-The-Time on HIST. October sweeps, I guess. Anyhow, I tuned in to some of the programming, and bits of it were quite interesting. What struck me during one program was how much things changed, security-wise, immediately after that event. Obvious things, like no more open [...]
It’s A “Jump to Concusions” Mat

It was an exciting weekend, folks. OK, not really. The wet weather kept me inside and I skipped the football games; I’m a bad sister! Bad! Sigh. But after the last cold and drizzly game I was ill for a couple of days, and I didn’t want to have the same or worse happen again [...]

Lastnight the anxiously-awaited dinner at Zaytinya finally took place. It was downright wonderful to meet JDH’s Famous Mum, with whom I’d chatted on the phone often throughout my nine years at The Firm, and who steered my mom and I toward a wonderful restaurant in Notting Hill when we visited London, lo those many years [...]
Rainy Day Post

I’ve got the rainy-day blues, mostly because I hear reports of snow in the north and I am jealous! We have not had a snow day here in years and years, and I’m ready for one! (Cue all my northern peeps calling me crazy in 3…2…1…) Here, however, it’s just cold, gray drizzle. Just enough [...]
