Kevin Costner's Russian's Rusty: Washington DC Metropolitan Area Thread II

I agree. He was whining that previously the neighborhood only had cheap Salvadorean food. The shame, the shame. The follow-up stuff on him in the 2nd article on Monday was equally annoying. Now he's buying a place on North Capitol close to where he had his Vespa stolen. In 5 or so years he'll be grumbling again.

I once made the mistake of talking about "getting into a big row with someone" and pronouncing it ROE. Oh, the shame. I now hesitate to pronounce words I'm not sure about.

I am now quite hungry for cheap Salvadorean food WHY NONE OF THIS IN CLEVELAND PARK?

Speaking of geeks, how is the Neuro conference going? Or is it over?

Casa Fiesta (owned by relatives of the people who own El Tamarindo), up Wisconsin Avenue toward Friendship Heights, is still cheap. Although its immediate neighborhood is the next candidate for 800K+ condos.

Saint-Ex guy riding around North Capitol St on his Vespa, why? You live in DC dude! GET ONE HOOPTY

I was house sitting for a World Bank staffer & just ran into old acquaintance last week whose wife is also World Bank staffer/lawyer. He is in LAW SCHOOL and I know him through a college friend who is also in the process of applying to LAW SCHOOL.

Someone I've been working on a website for has the following email address (due to his initials): wtf@FAMOUSLAWSCHOOL.edu

1) a hard-ass bunch of young Salvadoran guys with spiky sideburns and neck tattoos,
2) three cops boozing it up with their mistresses (it was a Friday),
3) four bears in sleeveless flannel shirts, just up from Logan Circle, and
4) one gorgeous drag queen with a pencil mustache.

By the way, I searched the account database for an otm@FAMOUSLAWSCHOOL.EDU or lol@FAMOUSLAWSCHOOL.EDU or pwn@FAMOUSLAWSCHOOL.EDU, but those aren't in there. Said institution started doing alpha-numeric combos for addresses a few years back.

WOO HOO we are officially moving to exactly one half block away from the Dupont metro :)

Re: DC being a small town...ok it was weird enough when it turned out a girl I work with who handles the HR stuff for my group is good friends with someone that Tom works with and is friends with. But yesterday, sitting in my office, a girl comes in with a pile of paperwork to give me and a coworker and we kind of stare at each other and realize...WE WERE BOTH BUYING WEDDING DRESSES IN THE SAME SHOP AT THE SAME TIME 2 WEEKS EARLIER. She works on the same floor as me! WTF???

actually, i will be at bright eyes tonight. my freind bought tickets for old times sake. i hope its good, but i have the feeling i'll be surrounded by 17 year old girls...

I'm at the market pretty much each and every Sunday. I usually park on R near Teaism. If I weren't such a lazy shit I would ride my bike instead of drive, but parking is usually easy on Sunday a.m.

I have to get my DC tags so I can start taking the 90 bus instead of driving back and forth across the entire city every day. (I can't afford the $$ for my DC tags until I get paid.. luckily I've found a nice parking spot across the street from work with a broken meter..)

WASHER/DRYER IN UNIT BITCHES. MY BASEMENT IS ENGLISH.

Darla I still have to get my DC license--we should meet up at the Georgetown DMV!

The farmer's market can be quite pricey if you aren't disciplined, but good ingredients from actual local farmers are one of those things for which I'm willing to pay a premium (file under "stupid little things your a snob about"). Besides, it's almost always cheaper to cook at home than eat out.

carly, those people must die.

xpost oh I refuse to give up my NY licence. It's good for like 10 years. I'm still in denial about moving.
