In case you missed a post from a few days ago, I’ve begun using MarsEdit to blog my blogs. I just (re-)discovered that it interfaces with your flickr account, letting up add images to your blog easy as pie. Check this shit out!
I uploaded a crap-ton of images tonight. Most of them are on my photo page, the best of the best can be found in my flickr stream.
I was going to write some long-assed post, but nobody freakin’ cares anyway. Here’s what’s up:
1) I went to DC this weekend with Stephanie
2) We went to the National Air and Space Museum, it desperately needs to get some new shit. Other than GPS I think every exhibit in there is over 10 years old.
3) We went to the American Indian Museum. Gorgeous building, very nice exhibits, worth a visit.
4) We walked all around the capital building, looked at the protesters for a while, walked right up to the building. I’m surprised that you can get so close without seeing a trace of security, it’s pretty cool, though it is depressing that you can go have a picnic on the capital steps without so much as a 2nd look, but if you take a picture on subway you’re liable to get your camera confiscated.
5) Saturday night we went out to some bar in Dupont Circle for Stephanie’s friend Adam’s birthday party. We were both whipped by that point, so we didn’t stay long.
6) Sunday morning we went out for brunch at Luna Cafe (Dupont Circle) with Stephanie’s friend Alyssa. STJC and I both had the smoked salmon and capers omelet. Delicious.
7) After brunch we went to the Zoo. It was pretty cool, I took a lot of pictures of pandas and monkeys and other strange creatures.
And that was our weekend. It was a great time and really cemented my love of train travel. There’s something so nice about just sitting down for a few hours, then getting out of your seat in a completely new city. It’s like airline travel except without the all the BS that goes along with flying. If Amtrak only lowered their rates and sped up their trains I’d travel by train all the freakin’ time. I’ve looked into riding the train to Chicago, but it takes 4 times as long and costs just as much as flying.
edit: biggest disadvantage of train travel? Cell phones work and the bitch behind me is UNABLE TO CONTROL THE VOLUME OF HER VOICE.
