I listened to this podcast on the way home from Jersey yesterday, all the while thinking of you!

For all of my friends who are vocationally challenged, you're not alone.

Mmmm.... Not quite a pretzel, but pretty close to it. Maybe I'll do a video of me getting into "the sleeping yogi" pose this evening after I practice-- I think you'll get a kick out of it. There is something to be said for having a video floating around with both legs behind my head and my clothes *on*.

Has anyone seen this?!

Where can I get it locally?

I watched "Primetime: What Would You Do" and was made uncomfortable by the whole venture.

Thanks, Joel!

Aside from being six-packed hot dudes, this video totally brings the clever.

This poor guy. He really has stick-to-it-iveness.

I've loved her since she was Nell on Ally McBeal.

I'm glad she finally apologized.

I worked at a Renaissance fair one High School summer. Suzi was my wench, and I hocked s'burry shortcake.

The chick I rode with LOVED Celine. I get it now.

A fascinating photo series.

Where Da Gold At?!

Geoffrey and I went down to the Dubliner, DC's oldest Irish bar/ restaurant, for some St. Patrick's Day themed food. I was craving corned beef & cabbage, and Geoff has his mind set on Shepherd's pie.

Rocks weren't the only things shammed on this trip. After a $10 cover charge just to get in ("come back tomorrow, it'll be free," says the bouncer) to the dining room, we were seated upstairs with super drunk woman in green pantsuits (and terrible makeup), as well as their stodgey 'til crunk white male counterparts.

The people watching was the best part: my meal came out tepid at best. I sent it back to get reheated. Geoff's shepherd's pie looked great, but apparently was only good.

I knew I could do better. Shepherd's pie is made with lamb or mutton, of which I found none-- today I instead made "Cottage Pie." I cut the meat down to a pound and threw in some yummy extra yellow onion and lots o' garlic.

G'luck, and Happy St. Fattrick's Day!

I nearly choked to death laughing.

Sebastian got worried.

14th Street's getting a new coffee house, just above the not-quite-recently relocated Miss Pixies @ 1626 14th.

For those that don't know, I spent a good chunk of my early DC life as a barista/cocktail server at the Dupont South Cosi. We were the "other side of the tracks" Cosi, serving up scandal with our Double Oh! Arctic Mochas.

After becoming firmly disenchanted with my coffee options here in mid city, Daddy went out and got himself a french press and coffee grinder. Now I only grind freshly roasted beans every morning.

When I want a little treat, ACKC does a good job of filling my caffinated sweet tooth, but what about when I need to get off the couch and do some work? Where do I go?

Certainly not cruise-a-bou at 14th and Rhode Island. I'm excited!
