Just a quickie to give people a smile leading into the weekend. I’ve been giggling at this commercial ever since it started airing. It’s one of the few ads that I don’t skip past when it comes on:
My friend has made it even worse as he’s gotten me repeating this commercial, but replacing [...]
This is probably something that belongs on Holla Back DC!. After walking around the city and enjoying the amazing weather, James and I were headed back to the metro through Thomas Circle. It was just past 5pm and even though it was nice outside, the impending sunset* on a school night is the [...]
Look on my vacuum-sealed works, ye mighty, and despair!
The exterminator came for the first of two visits yesterday and he could not have been more friendly and professional. Mostly the prep and eradication methods I’d done had helped a lot, and as you can see above, all of my clothes [...]
To prep the apartment for the exterminators, I left work a little early but decided to try getting in a quick errand to Home Depot to replace some light bulbs that burned out simultaneously this morning. This involved a ride on the Circulator from work over to Union Station. There weren’t a lot [...]
from abersparky in vegas this morning:
And I could not agree more. I wonder if this would work as a reason to call out someday. Some hilarious stuff in the spirit of someecards, Blunt Cards.

So… yeah, I’ve got bedbugs. All those times hearing the rhyme, Sleep tight. Don’t let the bedbugs bite! and I thought it was just a cute thing to say at bedtime. Yeah… not.
Even though this is just the latest in a string of FML occurrences that have been going [...]
Compared to Saturday, Sunday was actually pretty tame. I didn’t get to bed until late the previous night, so I slept right on through the time change, though the change in light outside was pretty easy to notice.
In an attempt to be social, I headed out to meet some friends [...]
The past few years I’ve been going into Halloween with no real plans, but seeing what comes of the evening. I don’t do costumes unless I’ve been invited to a costume party and I really don’t enjoy going out to bars that are hosting costume events. It sounds like it would be fun and [...]
I was tagged in 6 Facebook photos following this weekend. I’m pretty sure that’s a record for me! And rather than bore you in one long post about the weekend, it’s only fitting that I instead bore you in a few smaller ones!
It all began on on Saturday morning with the DC Food Bloggers [...]
“When she woke up and saw they’d taken both breasts, she knew…”
It sounds like a line from a horror story, but it was the best thing we could have heard last night.
A friend was at GWU Hospital yesterday so they could perform a–I heard–horridly unpleasant procedure* to get an idea what [...]
You do know there’s a bake sale this Saturday, right? 14th & U Farmers Market, 9a-1p, supplied and staffed by your local DC food bloggers? If you’re one of my regular readers*, of course you do!
I’ll be honest, I normally shy away from the charitable eating season, also known [...]
One of the great things about the internet is that information can be shared and spread quickly. Unfortunately it also means that a lot of mis-information can be spread just as easily. When the National Equality March was in town a few weeks back, some people on Twitter and Facebook were unintentionally posting [...]
Anyone up for a bake sale? The DC Food Bloggers are preparing their best baked goods for you!
We all remember bake sales back in the day where you put your faith in the–often last-minute–cooking talents of some kids’ moms. You’d peruse the items, perhaps lingering over the best looking homemade brownies [...]
I must have been crazy, but as my body didn’t want to sleep in yesterday morning, I decided to spend a little quality time on my building’s roof deck and greet the sun. I had on layers, I had hot coffee, I still froze my butt off. But it was totally [...]
Watching the FOX Sunday night line up* wasn’t too bad last night. Though having friends on IM and twitter to snark about it definitely helps. I made the comment that Seth McFarlane really needs to stop miring his jokes in 80s and 90s pop culture because, well, it’s 2009 now. Assuming that he [...]
It’s possible that some DC metro area residents, visiting out of towners, etc. don’t know about this so here’s a little reminder.
Waterfront-SEU and Archives-Navy Mem’l-Penn Quarter stations to close; No Green Line service at L’Enfant Plaza
The Waterfront-SEU and Archives-Navy Mem’l-Penn Quarter Metrorail stations will be closed, and the Green Line also [...]
I just popped down to our in-house cafeteria to grab a bit of lunch. My total comes up $5.14 and I hand over a $5 and a $1, already working out the change in my head and wondering in what coin denomination it will be tendered.* Before I can even finish [...]
Please remember, you helped this. For every person you didn’t ask WHY?! and pester that train wrecks are, in fact, in no way fun to watch. For each time you haven’t written advertisers to pull out of reality shows or written networks to stop following people around with cameras and a team of [...]
Good morning, indeed! Looking out the windows this morning and seeing this view… it’s one of those moments where you think to yourself, “Yeah, this was a good choice.” The move is over, and while I mourn the loss of one box of stuff, I’m slowly getting used to this being [...]
Well… almost. As I stepped out of the shower today, I realized that I didn’t have my bathrobe… which is still hanging on the 3M hook on the back of the bathroom door at my old apartment. Hello, after-work errand!*
Not to bring up the lingering issues of my single-hood, [...]
