Brad Pitt Has Your Secret Shit: Rolling DC

wondering if I should get out now and walk home. it's only uh .. another mile or so..

so our office follows fed closures. ie, if they are closing 2 hours early, we close 2 hours early. except 2 hours early for us is an hour later. at any rate, i left at 4 and it took me an hour and 20 min to get home. if i'd left at 3, i would probably have been in a much better situation.

in terms of visibility, i always, always see nat'l harbor across from alexandria when i'm on gw parkway. today: not even a tiny speckle of the lights made it across the river.

I am still trapped in an office park.

I need to get home and pack for trip to Knoxville!

oh no!

yes and packing means creating clean laundry with which to fill suitcase

flight is not until the p.m. so not to worried, I guess

at what point does it become acceptable for me to eat some else's lean cuisine for dinner

it's dinner time, so now? they'll never know.

perhaps you will receive Passive aggressive notes

We follow Feds too, I left at 3, finishing work at home.

My lights are flickering on and off a bit.

we never close in order that we continue to charge the feds $$$ while feds sleep in or whatever the hell they do on snow days

I just checked the office beer supply.

There are:

2 Sam Adams Lights
1 Sam Adams "Latitude 48"
1 Sam Adams "Rasberry Wietbeer"

what do i do

i would try latitude 48, though i don't know what that means

hope you like sam adams

Samuel Adams® Latitude 48 IPA is a unique IPA brewed with a select blend of hops from top German, English, and American growing regions all located close to the 48th latitude within the “hop belt” of the Northern Hemisphere. The combination of hops in this beer creates a distinctive but not overpowering hop character. The beer is dry hopped with Ahtanum, Simcoe®*, and East Kent Goldings hops for a powerful citrus and earthy aroma. The hop character is balanced by a slight sweetness and full body from the malt blend.

gotta be better than the light and raspberry beers I guess

Are you stuck on your own or do you have to fight anyone for the Latitude?

lol @ wietbeer

It took me 2.5 hours to get back to Annapolis and I saw ten accidents along the way.

3 hours from Kensington, MD to my apt like 9 miles away. Took a full hour to go down like a mile's worth of MacArthur Blvd at the end. If it hadn't taken 3 hours to get home I would have been able to go see Georgetown play St. John's and live the dream of booing Steve Lavin live in person.

Manager said because the fed gov't got off 2 hours early, so could we. Trouble is that would have been 9pm. We left at 6.

Train was there when I got to the station, bus was there when I got off the train. Stopped at local bar for a beer and some wings. Now just chillin'.

power blinking more frequently. the last time it did this i ended up out of power for 4 hours. dominion's outages map shows lots of outages in the area, though most are further west in fairfax, annandale, etc. i'm thinking it may only be a matter of time before we lose ours, though :(

so I should just not bother looking at apartments on friday then?

q did u make it

I made it! 4 hours from Rockville to Tenleytown. Got stuck twice and lovely gentlemen pushed me out.

Now my only complain is that I don't have heat and I am supposed to fly to Knoxville today.

Oh and quincie the cat threw up in the bed last night. Twice.

And then ate it.

parking garage at work today was EMPTY. roads were clear this morning.
what happened? i am confused.

ppl taking advantage of work-from-home/vacay? as former pittsburgh penguins head coach michel therrien might say, dc is soff

no power since weds night, dominion saying "hopefully by tonight"

last night was COLD AS F in the house, kept waking up to add layers

is this how old people die when stuff like this happens

i never really understood that before

Oh man, I had my heat die a couple years ago. I remember being huddled under the covers with hats and coats and sweaters on until the repair guys came.

Had my shoes on in the bed because no amount of socks was warm enough.

yeah i kept thinking i was fine and then waking up cold an hour later and adding another sweater

More snow falling + slush that people are unwilling to shovel off their sidewalks = ugh²

The "My Tehran for Sale" movie at the Freer tonight is disappointing. It's courageous to make a movie in Iran where filmmakers get thrown in jail, but the movie's avante-garde poetry scene and rock band gig come across like a Saturday Night Live caricature of such. There's a rave scene too.

i was thinkin about going to see 'and everything is going fine' tonight at west end

anybody interested?

Ice fell from our bldg onto a coworker: she has a sprained back and whip lash! :(

!!!

omg lawsuit

she better sue!

i haven't had hardly any trouble from the storm at all.. power didn't go out. but i had bought a really nice pair of leather gloves on sale only last week, and they got messed up just from brushing the heavy wet snow off my coat. bummed. they are a perfect dark bronze color. wondering if the store will exchange for a new pair. #firstworldproblems etc

my power is back on!1

awesome!

the mall and the museums are pretty quiet on Sunday mornings, or at least they were last Sunday.

At the National Gallery this Sunday: Killer of Sheep, with the director present. Anyone else planning on seeing this?

that sounds freaking awesome. i'd like to go, but not certain yet - might have a conflict, trying to meet up at some point this weekend with a good friend who's been through some stuff lately

Burnett never made many movies. I wonder if he's a professor now

Anyone see these newish Jem Cohen film shorts? I was busy with a family birthday party

I was there, but I didn't think much of the works. Although I do plan to go to the Instrument screening on the 27th.

I've kinda thought all of his stuff was a bit overrated including Instrument.

His non-narrative approach is "interesting" but it doesn't wow me (I was hoping his newer works might offer more).

The newer works were of a piece with his older ones (set up a camera, film hours at random, select seemingly at random snippets from those hours of footage, put a drop d soundtrack over the whole thing).
