I am a very cynical person, especially when it comes to politics and patriotism. In fact, I have a hard time with the idea of patriotism at all. Having some glorious love for… a place. Yeah, I can’t do it. But I did feel something yesterday, standing on the National Continue Reading
Will be trying to go to Mall tomorrow. probably through Faraggut North entrance. call or txt to meet up.
I have confirmed that yes, I can get drunk. It was not just watching the vice-presidential debate that made me wobbly last time. And I discovered that I’m a cheap drunk. Ended up at Spellbound last Saturday after spending the day with friends. I’d had really tiny amount to drink Continue Reading
oh my. one of my photos got selected for the DCist Exposed photo exhibit If you’re in DC on February 20, stop by for the opening reception.
Finally went to the Avedon exhibit this weekend. Watching a video they had playing, he had an interesting quote. He said that every photograph is accurate, and that no photograph is the truth. I’m sure even he would define photograph — in this instance — as the image as originally Continue Reading
With all the madness coming up next week… if anyone is brave enough to come downtown, and finds themself in need of a place to get away or to wait out the 2-hour estimate for getting into a metro station, feel free to get in touch. I live an easy Continue Reading
I haven’t tried to make New Year’s resolutions since I was in elementary school. And I’d surely break every one of them if I tried now. But I’m not going to try. It doesn’t fit with the way I handle those kinds of things. But the New Year does make Continue Reading
“If we listened to our intellect, we’d never have a love affair. We’d never have a friendship. We’d never go into business, because we’d be cynical. Well, that’s nonsense. You’ve got to jump off cliffs all the time and build your wings on the way down.” –Ray Bradbury “Anybody can Continue Reading
I went looking for an old photo today, of a friend back in college. Open the “photos” folder, open the “people” folder, open the “friends” folder. Looking at the thumbnails, I’m immediately struck that the majority of photos are disturbingly attractive women. Kind of self-selectig, no doubt. Women are typically Continue Reading
Observed: A good measure of how badly I need a haircut is just how ridiculous I look when I wake up in the morning.
I stood in the doorway earlier this week and watched someone drive their Mini Cooper down the street with a full-sized couch strapped to the top. Almost hard to tell who was carrying who. I was waiting for the delivery of my new bed. It’s such a hopelessly adult thing, Continue Reading
When did 15k a second get to be too slow? When did I get old enough to ask questions like that? So I have a few minutes while this template is downloading. Kinda late to say it, but I had a great extended weekend, last weekend. I have purty books Continue Reading
Playing with shots from the Shannon Shoot again. I really wanna do another shoot… who oh who can I ask?
I’ve been drinking alcohol sporadically now for about 2 and a half months. The selection has actually been fairly limited, partly out of ignorance and partly out of opportunity. It’s been largely beer, wine, and cider, with a handful of mixed drinks. Overall I can’t say anything had the least Continue Reading
obligatory: yes, i voted. Spent an hour in line at my polling place. Which wasn’t too bad, compared to the last 2 major elections. I kind of want to write before I hear any of the official results. As it is, it seems very likely that Obama will win, barring Continue Reading
i am happy.
There was a lot going on in my life this year, somewhat behind the scenes. (Though of course some of it leaked out. Damn reality.) Makes it hard to talk about certain things without bringing up other things. There was a woman this year. Okay… there were two women this Continue Reading
So there were two thoughts bugging me on the metro tonight. One new, and one very old. Here’s the first, and we’ll see about the second if I still have the energy later. More than a few times recently, I’ve been thinking of things I want to write. They’ve concerned Continue Reading
