“washington dc cute girl” gives me this:
She is cute, but I doubt she still is at this point in time.
subtracting the “cute” and just looking for dc girls gives me this:
holy shit, that dude on the left could totally be me. i need a fucking haircut like you wouldn’t believe.
so does Tom—I think he’s the dude in the turtleneck that you’re gettin’ cozy with.
hey guys. back in DC. hooray.
I don’t know what to do for NYE.. don’t want to go to baltimore.. got an invite to some international thing @ swedish embassy but it’s $175, wtf. one year I was at some african cafe in adams morgan with a reggae band and it was really cool, nice crowd, only $10 cover, I just can’t remember the name.
B’more was just suggested by one of our friends and I was like UH I’d like to be able to A) not have to crash at someone’s house due to lack of car + lack of public transit B) see my other friends besides you guys.
exactly. i have a car but i hate driving in baltimore plus it’s pretty likely there will be backups on 95 due to 1) drunkies + 2) polices
Yeah driving back will be no fun at all, which is why I’m certain if we went there we’d have to crash someone’s joint because NONE of those people are going to want to brave 95 and get us back to a metro.
I have to admit that I am intrigued by the James Bond party with strict dress code at the Jurys.
Oh god I just had the most stressful trip to G’town but at least I finally got to try Ching ching cha or whatever. We had to pay $5 for not being able to find parking under the G’town mall.
oh god the gtown mall parking lot is the worst. It’s like the whole place was invaded by an army of badly placed columns.
ching ching cha is teh best thing in georgetown.. I stopped in last week but only to buy gifts, no time to relax and have tea.
ugggghhh
note: Sarah and I are still planning to be at the Black Cat for the Black Lips show tonight if anyone else wants to come out and say hi.
Charlton Lido, The Lex, Matt DC and I were refused entrance to a club last night for being too old. We were told to try the ‘more adult club’ next door. (We got in fine in the end by talking to a human being instead of 300 lbs of muscle)
MWAHAHA, the Lex, too OLD? Which club is this?
Anyway bouncers being lame, I’m totally shocked.
Trash at the End, still the worst bouncers.
Anyway I blame Matt DC and Charlton Lido for looking old. Can’t of been me I was wearing two cardigans.
Trash is now Wednesday? I’d have just told them you were younger than Erol or indeed, Mr C! Which even taking combined ages, you are.
Trash is finishing for good in a couple of weeks.
ok kids we’re veering dangerously close to rolling london dancing slash watercooler topics. where are the bandmates, the architect, the blogeur, the librarian, the webmonkey and my wife?
ill be there tonight, nick!
here are some places i wont be:
- at work today, because i spent last night inside a beer, breathing only through a cigarette
Sorry, original post was wrong thread.
don’t apologize, I find that story to be hilarious.

^^^ take the survival chances test
Tom, they’re in the conservatory with Miss Scarlet and the candelabra ;-).
31%, a friend was raving about that book.
oh I was only 31% as well, I feel better now about that.
And now I remember that it was Tracer.
33%, i’m screwed
How are you more likely to survive than I am! Hrmph.
are you proficient with firearms?
No.
But I would ride a motorcycle into the zombie apocolypse.
I have survival skills and a bicycle.
So my sister apparently got sick of my other sister and her boyfriend, so she decided to skip town for 2–3 weeks. TO JAPAN. This seems to me to be an extreme reaction.
47 per cent! Survival skills and a bike OTM. I also get the feeling they don’t like snow much.
34%, but only cause i said i live above the snowline
I don’t know what the snowline is.
Oi restaurant week is upcoming again. Taberna Pantalones is all sold out but I was going to go to Perry’s again on 1/8 @ 7pm so if anyone wants to join holla at me and I can add you to reservation. It is prix fixe $30 (ish—certain items add a little to bill from last time I went there on RW) + alcohol, to remind everyone of what the words “RESTAURANT WEEK” mean.
xpost Either the point at which snow is always on mountains, or Minnesota basically. Logic would dictate that zombies might be cold-blooded and might actually freeze FAST if placed there. Firearms and BIG ROCKS actually equally useful.
Helps also to know your neighbours, I suspect to discern signs of incipient zombie weirdness.
Haven’t actually given this loads of thought, just working it out on the hoof BTW. Am about to have zombie encounter eg. lunch with my dad. We’ll see what weapons I need.
it’s almost completely snowless in minnesota right now! global warming will accelerate the zombie holocaust!
guys I am starving will someone bring me food ;_;
what do you want to eat?
I just applied for a job with NASA
plz to not bring astronaut ice cream, plz to bring delicious food.
okay
HAHAHAHA astrofood mught as well be astroturf.
Tom, I didn’t quite comprehend, but before Xmas did you personally get pinkslipped or did others working in yr office? Either way = teh suck...
oh fuck no they can’t fire me dude. other people.
Tom you don’t have your phone with you, someone called after you left actually looking for you presumably (I ignored it). Anyway that means no food for me ;_;
I want to get food at 100 King and eat that, but it is abit far for a lunch jaunt being down in Alexandria and all ;_;
My life, today, is a tragedy.
You should go to a cosi and get the TBM Melt. It is not such an impossible dream.
COSI IS CLOSED FOR RENOVATIONS BY ME YOU INSENSITIVE GIT!!! also I have no cash
I guess I could go to the one on H st.
I thought you tooked cash. anyway they take debit credit plastic magic.
dude guys oysters are not cephalopods or gastropods, they are bivalves
dammit between that and feldspar i was 0 for 2 last night. fuckin feldspar.
37% chance of zombie survival, which is total bullshit. i am NOT making it.
I HAS A SANDWICH
Oh and I did take cash, but only a ten, which I used yesterday on smokes + coffee + muffin
I want someone to open an organic fried chicken joint in London
and possibly a bite of ally’s Sandwich
It is a tomato basil mozzarella grilled chicken sandwich and it is OTM 100% all time.
bah, damn orlandians diverting me from waitrose
restaurant week—I’ll go!
I need a new job. srsly. I am so burned out on my job I was up til 3am because my stomach hurt from the sheer dread of going back to the office. anyone need a webmaster/web editor? html/css/xml, most any cms, photoshop/fireworks, information architecture = OK, I don’t do any server side programming though I pretty much know what the toolkits are for web based projects, writing/editing (copy, substantive) skills very good, for real, but if I have to write all day I’ll go nuts.
ps—will not work for the military/industrial complex, no offense as plenty of my family does, but I can’t
You should consider moving to California. We should all consider this.
TWO STATES
only liberals want to divide california in half
what about montana? hmm
Move to london, sell fried chicken and we can band together against the zombie menace.
That’s a good point.
where is everyone
je m’ennuie
anyone think they will close the city up for ford’s funeral on tues??
Not really? Reagan did basically shut everything down though, huh.
My boss just left so now I CAN LEAVE TOO
haha 8 hour wait to walk past Reagan’s casket = I predict 10 minute wait to walk past Ford.
people who went to see Reagan in state should’ve all been 9/11ed.
haha he looks strangely not unhappy
hey dudes we not back yet just sayin hi isn’t that stupid. yeah. hey jacksonville florida=home of. . .LYRNRD SKYNRDS. hope all is well we back saturnday and will be ready to party down. also: I have always hated new years, fuck news years. if you think about it it’s all bullshit anyways, time doesn’t exist, yo! so okayyyyyyyyyyyyyy
************insert cat picturse here toooo*******
black lips were tite yo
anyone think they will close the city up for ford’s funeral on tues??
i’m pretty much banking on having tuesday off as a “national day of mourning”. i was already on vacation when reagan kicked so while i got 8 hours of leave comped back to me it wasn’t as cool as getting an unexpected day off.
who else played on the black lips bill? and did they have the new record at the merch table?
sorry i missed it guys, but i went to bed at ELEVEN-THIRTY and today feel much less sick.
my favorite art/museum shows I saw in DC, 2006:

Dada (National Gallery of Art)
Prayers and Portraits: Unfolding the Netherlandish Diptych (National Gallery of Art)
Maggie Michael (G Fine Art)
Treasures of American History (National Museum of American History, shown at the National Air and Space Museum)
re: MW’s posts.
UH? hi dere drunky
re: Sunday openings of liquor stores
I HAD NO IDEA THAT WAS GOING ON LAST WEEK WTF
Reason number 17,000,000 why Virginia is the worst state in the entire union: Bowflex ambitious facial hair midlife crisis dude lives there.
Yeha but dudes if we go to Mama Bea’s for NYE we could win a bowflex home gym AND see duder live in concert with his band, TORQUE.
no no no no no no no NO
I really wish I could find that freeze frame with the pursed lips as he’s doing a curl
I hate that dude.
the more you viscerally hate him the more I’m coming around to the idea that he’s probably actually an okay bro. maybe I am turning into a pete.
wait hows that work? theres only two people i remember disagreeing with ally about, and she was totally right about at least one of them...
I don’t even remember who these two people are!
Maybe you’re just becoming a capitool, Tom.
OK I’m gonna run this past you all too:
My coworker missed his bus this morning, offered to work from home (keep in mind that he is on the road most of the time, so he is specifically set up to work remotely 80% of the time and it wouldn’t be unusual), was told he HAD to come in by our boss (despite fact that we have received very few inquiries or responses this week due to holiday and we’re only working a half day today), so he drove in. Goes and parks in our parking garage (ie the private one in our building, that our company owns, that only company employees can park in) AND THEY CHARGED HIM $10 FOR THE PRIVLEDGE. WTF?

For comparison’s sake, there are multiple public garages surrounding our building, all of which have $5 “early bird specials” that cover parking from like anytime before 8:30 until 5 or 6pm, so he’s paying double price to park IN HIS OWN COMPANY’S LOT. Who has ever heard of this?

yeah so lame—the company should def pay the parking today
today or any day?? I mean, I don’t understand the idea of your own employer charging you to park on their premises.
