New York, New York
Siryn’s Song
Our writer gets a job offer at a NY firm, and meets a guy from eHarmony. They go for a walk around the DC monuments at night.
…It was a beautiful night, and there is so much I have neglected to
do while I have been living here. I regret the thought of leaving without having seen all that Washington has to offer. There is a measure of comfort and beauty that cannot compare to New York City, though New York is also a cultural Mecca. It's like comparing Golden Delicious to Red Delicious Apples.

DC Sleeps Alone Tonight
Big news on this blog. PlayfulinDC is leaving the office life to tour in a Kennedy Center production, "Alexander and I'm Not...Going to Move." It's a seven month commitment filled with angst and excitement. I met this writer at a DC Weblogger meeting and can tell you why she is destined as a big stage performer. Like her blog, PlayfulinDC is full of life, giving, smart and witty – fun to be around. But there’s some ache about this decision.
Really, my fear comes down to loneliness. I had gotten used to my busy, active life rolled in with the budding possibilities of a healthy, passionate relationship. None of these will exist once I hop on that tour bus. I'll have to put my personal life on hold to re-invent my career. Yes, I know there will be interesting people along the way, but we theatre folk know that there is nothing better than our stable non-theatre friends or a stable, non-theatre boyfriend to even things out.
Assorted DC blogs
A fire severely damaged this popular Hill spot. Fortunately, DC has a few other bars left. A round-up of comments.
Designs on You: They had $.10 wings on Tuesdays, and that was my weekly brunch place, iced tea, eggs over medium/bacon, and chips/salsa b/c the salsa was homemade and outta this world.
DCist: Provides story and photo links. Also check out the rich collection of comments, including: I will miss you sweet sweet Capitol Lounge. I loved the way you made me feel when I walked (often) through your doors. You held me, you rocked me, and slowly sang me a sweet lullabye.
Metroblogging: No injuries were reported though widespread panic is rippling through the Capitol Hill intern community.
Access Anisa: It feels like the remnants of a confused young adult trying to make it in DC are no more. I have a million memories from that place. My favorite: the jukebox. My best friend, Amber, and I would play D12's "Purple Pills" whenever we would go there.
Washington Post: earlier review.
When Robin Worldwide’s PDA dies and its contact list lost, a note is sent to her parents. It produces an exchange that this writer shares. A touching read.
Girls with Drinks is a new blog that list seven contributors. There are about a half-dozen posts. One concerns plans for Saturday night. A coworker/friend is turning 30 next week (really, I pity her...can you hear my sarcasm?!) and wants to do it up this weekend... in 21 year old form... Yeah, you know that can only mean one thing... bar hopping in Adams Morgan. There's also (very good read) this tribute to the Capitol Lounge: According to channel four news, the bar will reopen soon. I can only hope. I know that the world’s in a bit of chaos these days. I should be ashamed for mourning the temporary loss of a bar but I do. It feels like home. Road Trippin’ with Tiaras Optional to Scranton, Pa., to a party with 800 other people. And she reports that she “had basically the same conversation with all of them.” Click to find out.
Bewildering glances on Vitals.dc.
Zippy the Pinhead made the Vet’s Liquor sign in Beltsville famous in a recent cartoon strip. Washington Cube drives out and takes photos of the real sign.
From Don’t Stop Me Now there’s a warning about the game Googlewhacking. I read through all the rules and thought, "Well, this can't be too hard -- just think of pairs of offbeat words..." I was wrong. I can't do it! Even worse, it's addictive.

Siryn's Song:
"Spelling Nazi"
Check out Rock Creek Rambler's post regarding the very inappropriate use of the word Nazi. I'm sure someone as "edjumikated" as you claim to be can come up with something more appropriate and less offensive.
Cheers!
Penny, I'm not so sure I would be harsh about it. I just read RCR's post, and, as I wrote there, I think RCR is right about the use of that word in the context he described. But in regard to spelling? I don't think there's anything mean spirited or offensive anymore than Mel Brooks' The Producers. That's my take. The post itself is wonderful piece of writing.
DC Sleeps Alone Tonight will be missed as she joins a touring company with the Kennedy Center. Her readers wish her all the best in this venture and hope she keeps us up-to-date on her new adventures.
DC Urban Family also did a ongoing write-up today on the fire at Capitol Lounge. They've had some wonderfully funny tales going this past week.
You guys are too good too me...I'm just a simple country girl from Memphis.
I WILL NOT miss you all...the internet will connect us. Thank god for wireless and laptops!
Thanks for the plug and the kind words, Pat.
On second thought, KOB...why did you not just say that I am *HOT*
:)
Thanks everyone for the comments.
Dear Hot: In the interest of word economy, and in deference to Misters Strunk & White, that's a very good suggestion.
