This post marks the third year of this blog. It’s my blogoversary. Next year will be my tenth year in DC — a city known for transience. I have seen many people come with lofty local aspirations but go and others insist the grass is greener elsewhere but stay (*ahem* myself *ahem*). I have never [...]

Despite what you may have heard,¹ DC’s metro isn’t actually the worst transportation system ever conceived. Yes, sometimes it seems that administratively WMATA would like to vie for that title, but normally you can get from point A to point B (even if you have to stop at point Q and wait for a WMATA [...]
to the tweenage dirtbag on car #571

A dedication from Dr. Seuss and myself: Congratulations! Today is your day. You tweenage disaster; you sex-based mistake! You have shit for your brains, you wear douche like perfume, and the ironic thing’s you think irony’s new. You waltz on the train with false swag so rude and push an old lady (who lived in [...]
would your mama eat that?
Posted in DC, food, tagged because sometimes you feel like a chef and sometimes you don't on July 28, 2009 | 20 Comments »
I guess that question could mean any number of things; many of which would be inappropriate. But I mean no disrespect. I’m sure your mother is a handsome, handsome woman.¹ Actually, I guess I don’t care what anyone’s mama eats. All I really want is reliable food delivery. And I just have to believe that [...]
the politics of sucking

When I first got to DC, there was no baseball and there were no Washington Nationals. Actually, thanks to the wildly “successful” Redskins and Wizards, there were also football and basketball in name only. But those are separate complaints for different days. I paid no attention to the Nationals when they showed up in 2005. [...]
two can play that game, but both will lose

People watching: everybody does it. I was walking down Fake Street, nearing Make Believe Avenue, and I passed the same café I pass several times a week. In spring and summer, the café’s owners put out some tables, chairs and umbrellas and turn their little corner into the only place with outdoor seating for about [...]
in an honest moment
Posted in DC, fireside chat on June 23, 2009 | 20 Comments »
I first saw the startling pictures of the metro crash that rocked the DC metro area last night around 6pm. And in an honest moment, I felt anger. A few weeks ago, a lone gunmen walked into the Holocaust Museum and opened fire. All of my thoughts were for the security guard who lost his [...]
the day the movies died

it’s gone. (it’s gone.) oh, i. (oh, i.) i better learn how to face it. it’s gone…¹ What went wrong is that HBO has cut Screen on the Green. *attempts to still his broken heart* Who am I kidding? I’d need a ShamWow to dry my tears. The Screen on the Green series was one [...]
golden gloves at the golden arches
Posted in DC, NaBloPoMo, evil-doers unite, f.B's Worst in Industry Award, food, out and about, video, tagged have it your way? how 'bout "make my day?", there's a Network reference in there, this post could be a police report, would you like a fight with that? on April 29, 2009 | 17 Comments »
I guess I was just in the right place at the right time. This is worth a party in and of itself. Usually my timing is like finding out about a sale a day too late.¹ But last night, my timing was impeccable. I had a craving. Me wanted french fries. But I don’t believe [...]
i can feel it in the air…
Posted in DC, NaBloPoMo, homelife, video, tagged i probably should've saved this post for TMI Thursday, Schweddy balls on April 28, 2009 | 21 Comments »
It was getting hot in here… … so I wanted to take off all my clothes and walk the DC streets a little more freely. Naturally. [parody video of my ensuing public nudity blocked by the YouTube] Why would this have been better than staying inside? Because the air conditioner isn’t conditioning our air. Whatever [...]
