Weekend Update: WTF Edition

Good Morning, Kittens.

Hope you all had a fun weekend. I certainly did ...

Saturday, I planted a chili pepper plant in the front garden. And I weeded. And I drank. And I created a New Banner for Ye Olde Bloggie. You like? Oh, and I watched A Dirty Shame. totes fun. srsly.

Sunday, after mucho coffee, I ventured forth into the District. I "bought" two books (using my Borders VISA Reward Certificates): The Geography of Nowhere (recommended to me by one of the guests at Shallowgal's birthday party) and The Red Queen: Sex and the Evolution of Human Nature. Now that I've finished Watership Down (for the umpteenth time), there's some fun reading ahead!

I wandered around DC snapping some pix, hoping some DC-residing friends would respond to my texts. None did. So after a few hours, I came home (with a stop at McGinty's for a veggie burger and a few beerz).

Then, the K-Factor texted to see if I was up for some margaritas at Mi Rancho. Well, duh! So we headed over there for a pitcher of liquid sunshine. So fun!

No exciting plans for today. I suppose I will do the usual: troll the job sites, not find anything, drink myself into a stupor, go to bed. Fun times.

*smooches*

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 ...

Weekend Update: Thanks for the Memories, NYC!

Good afternoon, kittens! I am back from an ... eventful trip to New York City. I wish I could post more pictures, but, as you will learn in a bit, there is a Very Good Reason. On Friday, after work, I hopped on the Amtrak. It was uneventful ... except I lost my hat. Sad. I really liked that hat. Once, I arrived at Penn Station, I transferred to the subway and rode up to 50th Street. David was attending a show, so I found a little Irish bar, had a beer, and waited for the show to end. Eventually, he found me and we had a late dinner at a Mexican restaurant that was yummy and I have completely forgotten the name. Lime something? Lime Jungle? Something like that anyway. Then, we went back to David's fabulous apartment in Brooklyn. This is the kitchen: Even though it is bigger than my entire apartment, I am not jealous. The next morning, we got up and went to IKEA. David forced me to carry a 7000 pound futon frame for 58 miles through all 42 Burroughs of New York City. Seri...
