Brad Pitt Has Your Secret Shit: Rolling DC

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

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).

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

I left before the Q&A, but the woman introducing him said he's currently working on a film about Barack Obama's mother.

Morbidly enjoying the NYT 11th St spot-blow-up/ongoing Prince of Petworth comment frenzy. ("Number 5: I like Silver Spring.") Remind me why I read Prince of Petworth again.

i saw ian mackaye in columbia heights a little over a year ago, so it must be okay

it's been my impression that cherkis has been hating everything in DC for at least a decade and a half. you name it, he hates it. sometimes i wonder why he lives here. i remember columbia heights 10 years ago. my roommate worked there at a nonprofit, we lived nearby, and while i'm not thrilled about a ton of chain stores, it is nice to have chain stores, metro, being able to walk around after dark. better than empty storefronts and frequent shootings and having to drive everywhere because it was dangerous.

Prince of Petworth is great! Always amusing.

"here's a place I walked by! What's up with it?"

"this is a restaurant I heard of! Does anyone know how it is?"

"lost pet!"

"I heard this rumor! It's completely unfounded and I have no idea what I'm saying."

"here's an ugly house/restaurant/streetscape! It looks great!"

I've never read a more frequently updated site with less informed content.

lol

http://www.princeofpetworth.com/2010/03/friday-question-of-the-day-at-what-point-do-dress-codes-go-overboard/

I’ll admit it right away – I hate dress codes. But when I saw this sign on 18th Street in Adams Morgan I couldn’t believe it. “No timberland boots”? How can they possibly single out a brand like that? I mean why not say – no boots? I suppose I can understand places that want to maintain an air of class by banning sneakers and shorts but Timberland Boots? Am I thinking too deeply on this? Or does this seem a bit odd? I know it’s going to go there so I’ll just straight up ask it – is there a racial element to this?

This is a particular classic from last year. (Great comment section, too: "Also people need to be aware and stop putting on blinders, the long white shirts symbolize a cocaine or crack dealer.")

i will subscribe to this newsletter with great rapidity

I have never seen The Red Shoes on the big screen, and if the Metro will permit me, I think I'll head up to the AFI to see it tomorrow.

tuomas of petworth

^^^^^lolz for real

i loled

just plz nobody photoshop him onto a sundae

This $1,900 a month leased Navigator (now 2 of 'em) for DC City Council member Kwame Brown will undoubtedly be used as a political weapon again the city as a whole(although I'm not sure why DC taxpayers are paying for either of them)

TBD.com, the much-touted local-news Web site, will reorganize its news staff, change its focus to arts and entertainment and lose about a third of its 36 staff positions.

Under the reorganized structure, some TBD employees will be reassigned to work on a second Web site, WJLA.com, which is also owned by TBD's parent company, Allbritton Communications of Arlington.

Welp.

Looks like editor Wemple and the former Cp arts writers are still employed at tbd

oh i have so much to say about that but i can't do it here.
