So, I was going to write a post about this article in the New York Times today, but now I have other things on my mind, like the fact that Paul Newman may or may not have cancer. The AP says so, and sticks by the story, but Access Hollywood says the guy who spilled the beans was misquoted. How can you misquote something like cancer?

People are constantly coming and going in DC. Any given moment is a chance to meet someone who has just moved to the District, but then turn around and have a goodbye happy hour for another friend. It's the nature of the city for people to constantly come and go. I've had to say goodbye to my fair share of people since living out here, but ( Read more... )

So tonight Hillary had an event at the museum. At the end of a very long evening, she came up to me and my friend (we were working the event) and shook our hands. She said how much she likes coming to our museum, and thanked us for staying so late. There was a late vote on the House floor that delayed all the guests, so I didn't get home till ( Read more... )

My lame attempt to describe my interesting weekend in haiku form.  Click on the Annapolis to see pictures, which may help explain that particular haiku. Enjoy.

Nature Walk
Saturday brought sun
and two turtles having sex
on a nature path.

Roller Derby
The scantily clad
women skated, empowered
by their victory.

So I was reading the story about the Austrian woman who's been held in the basement of her home by her dad for 24 years. She had 7 children because of her father's sexual abuse. This is disturbing on so many levels, but what blows my mind is that she has been held captive for as long as I have been alive. The same year she started captivity, I ( Read more... )

I really love Spring in DC. It is probably the only tolerable season in this city. The weather is warm, but the humidity is no where in site. Residents in the District learn to make the most of the rare nice days, and that's what I did this weekend ( Read more... )

Here are pictures from the drag queen brunch, just in case you didn't believe me. My favorites are of Victoria's dad. Enjoy!

( Drag Queen Brunch )

When one typically thinks of the District of Columbia, visions of uptight politicians and monuments usually come to mind. Images of Roller Derby and drag queens do not normally depict the nation's capital. Yet, I learned this weekend that the latter two images are a part of the counter-culture in DC. I had no idea how huge roller derby and drag ( Read more... )

I stole this from Jezebel.com, who stole this from other site. It's a chart that shows the ratio of single males to single females in most metro areas. Note what the DC area looks like.

This weekend was very exciting, yet very draining all the same!  Friday night immediately after work, I headed to the airport to make my journey directly to South Bend for 48 hours.  I took a 2 hour flight to Detroit, where I sat and waited for a small plane to take me to South Bend.  The whole process of transferring, and hauling ass from one end ( Read more... )
