Sometimes I wish I were in a band just so I can ask people, “Hey, wanna jam?”

I guess Lavar's not bad, then.
Matt: (-|
Me: What face is that supposed to be?
Matt: (I'm smiling, but I'm smiling as that dude from star trek with the bar-glasses)
Me: See, now we just went from cheesy to nerdy.
Matt: I AM LAVAR BURTON
Me: You're just digging a deeper hole here.
Matt: dude, he was the guy in Reading Rainbow.
Me: wasn't he the guy-
Me: Oh. You beat me to it.
Matt: And if reading is nerdy... well then the world is just upside down.

Restaurant: 1905 DC →
I spent about 15 minutes yesterday just reading (and re-reading) this restaurant’s menu, imagining what would be the perfect dinner…
I know it’s finals season and all, but I seriously have to stop consuming so much Top Ramen soup and Italian subs. I’m bound to snap and go treat myself to steak or even (oh god oh god) duck somewhere soon… maybe as an end-of-year VERY...

Sometime in the near future, I will be 21 and living in this city, and it’s going to be really fantastic. For now, I’ll lust.

Hahahaha.
most frustrating thing of the day:
having a song on the tip of my tongue. it’s just a wisp of something— i think maybe i’m singing part of the lyrics to the song, but i’m not positive of even that. i just know there’s a song there, somewhere, in my head trying to let me know what it is, and i can’t think of it! i can almost hum a melody, almost sing a few words— but nothing substantial...

I don’t usually reblog quotes (you can only be so inspirational until it starts to sound repetitive), but I particularly liked this one.

For DC-ers out there, this is a great blog! Simple and fun.

I went on a retreat this weekend, and heard so much about this woman… now as soon as I get out of my government class, I’m going to have to listen to her sing.

Eric and I recently discovered a shared fascination with the slew of impossibly named NPR hosts we listen to every day: Renee Montagne, Steve Inskeep, Corey Flintoff, Korva Coleman, Kai Ryssdal, Dina Temple-Raston.
In fact, we’ve often wondered what it would be like to be one of them. A Nina Totenberg or a Renita Jablonski. A David...

Currently reading:
Percival Keene by Frederick Marryat… it’s tough to screw up a sea-faring adventure novel with a comedic hero set against the Napoleonic Wars.
Supertrains, the transportation of the future →
mikemadden:
The Obama administration announces plans to spend $13 billion kick-starting a nationwide network of high-speed train lines.
All logistics aside (okay, so that’s a huge starter, but still), this makes me really excited. You mean we might finally follow in Europe’s footsteps and create a system of mass transportation that connects most of our major cities, vastly eliminating...
Looking at this year's Washington FilmFest →
Because I obviously won’t be making it to Winston-Salem’s annual RiverRun Film Festival, this is probably a great (and even better) alternative! Maybe I’ll try to make it to a few of those movies next week… Not like it’s the last week of classes or anything.

Quote of the morning: “Applications to the U.S. Naval Academy are up 50 percent. The academy credits its two-year outreach campaign to minorities and the Post considers if it might be the lure of a free education in lean times. But we’re going to jump to conclusions. It’s pirate-fighting. Who doesn’t want scurvy on the high seas?”

From now on, I’m not even getting online on Wednesday nights that I can’t watch Lost live. This is fucking ridiculous. If you have to tweet about things as they’re happening, you are sorely in need of a life!!
Hahaha, agreed Lindsay. I didn’t get a chance to watch it last night either (all I heard was that Hurley had some great moments). I guess it’s a good thing I...
