12 of 12: Nokia 6650 Chronicles Edition

Good Afternoon, Kittens. I'm back from my day traipsing around DC. I'm going ahead and posting my 12 of 12, because I don't have any other plans for the day. And, really, photos of me blobbing on the sofa are a dime a dozen.

Mmm. Coffee. And Wonder Woman!

Reading Brideshead Revisited on the metro to DC
Chapter 7

The Pompeii Exhibit at the National Gallery of Art. It was ... nice. Not quite what I expected.

The new LED installation, though, was SuperCool.

Ice skating in the NGA Sculpture Garden. $7 for adults + $3 skate rental for 2 hours. Wanna go?

Me and the Washington Monument. Why, yes, I did knit the scarf.

From the Mall, I metro'ed to Foggy Bottom and walked to Georgetown. Someone folded 1000 paper cranes for a sick friend.

Chipotle Vegetarian Burrito. Teh YUM.

I stopped by Stitch DC for some #7 dpns, but they didn't have any. The clerk told me how to get to the Exorcist Stairs. With annoying group who wouldn't move so I could get a clean photo.

From there, I decided to walk to Dupont Circle. Rock Creek from the M Street Bridge.

The Best Gin Ever, Leopold's, is now available in DC (Best Cellars in Dupont Circle).

A few additional photos are can be found in my Flickr Set.

Have a Great Weekend! *smooches*

All photos today were taken with the Nokia 6650 which I've been test-driving for the past two weeks. I'll be posting a review of the phone tomorrow (hopefully). In the meantime, feel free to check out the phone (and even more of MY SUPERFUN PHOTOS (ok, and a few other peoples')) on the Nokia Chronicles website.

    I don't miss those DC prices for things. Here in Austin, we only pay $6 for ice skating. It's sooo much cheaper ;)

    I'll have to check out the Pompeii exhibit (and the LED display) when I'm up in DC in February.

    Now I'm bitter once again that the Best Cellars in Dallas closed :(

    If I ever visit, you must take me to the exorcist stairs! (And the NGA too, so that I can stalk Princess Sparkle Pony.)

I'm Back (from Vacation)

 I'm back. I will be posting about my vacation soon.  Well, soonish ... maybe this weekend.  I dunno. Also, I came back to a big pile of stress at work.  Good times. Can I go on vacation again?  (Why, yes. Yes, I can.  I'll be flying to Atlanta for Pesach.  Just the weekend.  Not the whole dang thing.  My body needs gluten. And, then, a quick trip to NC in early May to see the 'rents.) ANYWAY.  Israel and Latvia posts coming up. Stay tuned. Or just look at the pix on my IG. *hugz*

Shaken. Bruised. And Just the Facts.

This is not the post I was intending to write this evening, but ... I need to write things down to sort them out in my head as best as possible. At approximately 2:50PM on my walk home from the metro station, I was attacked from behind. I have walked down Wayne Avenue at least twice a day for 5 years, at all hours of the day and night. I have always felt perfectly safe doing so. Even today didn't seem out of the ordinary. As I approached the intersection of Dale and Wayne, I passed a young black man in his early 20s. I made eye contact and nodded. I crossed Dale and heard a noise. I turned and saw someone running up Dale. That's when I noticed someone following me. I turned off my iPod and reached for my phone. And he jumped me, putting me in a chokehold and trying to pull me to the ground. I began hitting him over my shoulder with my large umbrella (which, sadly, is now in pieces). I hit myself in the head a couple times, too, and have a few lumps. He pulled me to the ...

12 of 12: It's Been a Long Time Edition

Image
Good Evening, Kittens. Look! It's my 12 of 12 for January ... Some of us have to get up at 5:30 AM ... even if the Evil Snow Shovelers are shoveling snow at 1:30AM and it wakes us up and keeps us up for an hour. Even though we get up at 5:30 AM ... sometimes we don't make it to the metro station until Much Later (*cough* 7:45 *cough*) ... but then we get on a train and it whizzes (*heh*) through the snowscape. Eventually (meaning "forEVER"), I arrive at work and see ... snow-covered bicycles. Check email. Eat breakfast. Die one thousand deaths before 9AM. Meetings. Paperwork. Incompetence. *ROWR* Creating survey. Annoying little pop-up thing that Won't. Go. Away. How cute are these boots? How CUTE are these BOOTS? Wandering around taking photos of damage in my building ... Don't Panic. It's almost Go Home Time. It's a good thing the Count of Monte Cristo is 3261 pages long. Red Line Delays on the way home. *ughz* Laundry! Icicle! And, soon. ...
