Weekend edition: Zituations
DC Blogs Noted:
A zituation
DConstructed
A satisfying day of work that includes blogging and browsing is interrupted by a buzz. “Well it's more of a beep than a buzz actually,” writes Lauren, who is consulted on a photo that may show a zit.
Blogside manners
The Cold Speculum
A blog that’s assembling patient recommendations on local doctors. Says one doc critic: “He did recommend a super expensive kind of moisturizer which I couldn't afford and didn't offer any alternatives, but so is life.” I learned of The Cold Speculum from a post on Fun things to do in DC.
Le Blogging
ionarts
Reports that the French newspaper Le Monde has “gotten into the blog business.” Ionarts contributor Charles T. Downey also writes, “Other great blogs I am discovering in the Le Monde group: Big Picture, a blog in French about the United States, written by Corine Lesnes, one of the newspaper's correspondents in New York.”
Crackhead Renovations Inc.
In Shaw
Lessons learned about dealing with contractors in a gentrifying area by this astute commentator on urban life: “Cheap contractors getting houses ready for selling, hire cheap crackhead or questionably legal immigrant help who sometimes do poor work hidden behind the walls where the inspector can't see it.”
This In Shaw post attracted some comments, which led to a post on Urban Pioneer, The first attack and an explanation as to why DC is better place to live than, say, NOVA.
“…Living in the suburbs, in an area that looks no different than 20 other uburban outposts...no character...no flavor...would remind me of the godawful town in Western Mass that I pretty much ran away from after college…”
Italian flavors
Unrequited narcissism
Photos and dinner from Italy, dessert too: “I can't even begin to recount the 476 times I had gelato,” UN writes.
