السلام عليكم

1. Limeade on Cinco de  Mayo while I watched Community, Ken Burns style.
2. WUSA9's green screen while we waited for Chef's noon segment.
3. Arabic greetings on the walls of historic Fort Hunt.
4. Big-ass cream puff from Mom's Apple Pie, sexy food editorial design, and a shandy in the park.

if you can think of a better fish pun, let minnow

Chef Dan: vina, would you interweb that we have halibut for sale? Thank you.
me: I will interweb just for the halibut, Chef.

(no email response)

Come on, you have to admit that was totally brill.

instant crush

too good.

Stephanie: My friend just emailed offtopic because he doesn't know who left cake on his desk lolllll.

I mean, those have to be jeggings or something.

Recent Spirit Animal show at DC9 with Boek & Sandy. Boek's moving to Florida soon. Gonna miss that guy. Friends since, what, 2007? He once drooled on my shoulder on a bus ride to New York. If that's not friendship, then I don't know what is.

Side note, DC9 has some excellent nosh. Burgers are on point (Fried green tomato & Applewood bacon? Please and thank you) and I'm fairly sure shrimp & grits are on the menu. Done deal. Will order always. That, and avocado. Don't even get me started on the things that catch my eye on restaurant menus; I'll be here all night.

National Vampires

me: I listened to The National and Vampire Weekend while I designed this morning. Dat shit pleasant, yo.
Boek: Yeah, they're on opposite ends of the emotional spectrum though.
me: That's why you put it on shuffle. Keeps you on your toes.

Today was a good Thursday. 

panda and pie at the park

me: 
Justin: Not the panda. You should have worn your panda costume.
me: To Zoofari? You cray. It's 80-some degrees...but it would have been awesome!!

For reals, y'all. Once I get my bicycle tuned, I'm going to put on my panda costume, ride that shiz around the park, and be like this:

Ah SHIT, does Steph still have her pie costume?
