DC Blogs noted


Babbling Brookland
Non-fat latte liberal
This writer is out on his porch drinking a Guinness. He chronicles, and be warned it's in stark language, what he witnesses. He also writes about his neighborhood Brookland, and finishes with a report about something that sounded like firecrackers.

… as I was reading Balloon Juice. I heard a cadre of black cat firecrackers go off. Kept reading. Wait. Those weren't black cats. People don't light black cats at this time of year. Oh, no.

DC-Streets photo humor

Million Dollar Sue
Sueandnotu
This writer goes to a boxing coach for the first time and discovers she’s a natural. “This is the awesomest news I have ever received.”

Whose Birthday is it Anyway?
Damsel in DC
The writer, Crazy Miss J, has a writing style similar to the Financial Times, sharp and crackly, without the investment advice.
What a busy day! It was my 25th birthday, which is very exciting. It is the day for me to be "Queen of the World." I embarked on getting my license (only an hour and a half, great). However, since my car was broken down (more on that later), it turns out that I was unable to drive anywhere, so I relied on my crazy dad and his new squeeze Lucretia.
More neighborhood reports
Urban Pioneer?
What is a citizen journalist? A report from a local Advisory Neighborhood Commission meeting.
…as usual it was packed full of entertainment. ANC meetings are notorious in DC, but my ANC takes the cake. From full on fistfights to police being called to "eject" citizens it has all happened at my local meeting.
Tourist report
In the Middens
How visitors see DC:
The Rotunda took my breath away. If any room had been constructed to evoke awe and humility, this was it. It soars upward in an amazing feat of architecture and construction, especially considering when it was built. We stood in the center, where people are lain in state, and gaped like the most naive tourists.

Hi, Kob. Sorry I haven't got back to you re: your email but I haven't forgotten you. I just got swamped with classes and tests instead.

I have a poll up at my blog that some of your readers might be interested in, especially given your noting of the dc Bookstores.

Hope all is well.
