DC Blogs Noted:

The Old Lady Swallowed a Fly
Sarcastic and Cynical
This blogger's motto is: “I Make God Sad.” This post proves it. Jamy alerted us to this post: It had me laughing out LOUD, she wrote. Ditto. It starts:

After packing my things back into my bag and readied to leave work, I thought of the delicious meal I would have later and how I should start eating more than soup for lunch. I walked to the elevators and patiently waited until one finally came. It was already full, but I stepped on board, swallowing my claustrophobic feelings.

Femi-Namaste
Namaste
A talented writer on feminism, violence against women and need for better men. It starts:

I can't speak for everyone, but I have to say that one of my worst fears(aside from caged birds and extremely large moving staircases) is...for
real...something that I'm sure is pretty disturbing to all women. It's the very real fear of waking up in my own bed only to discover that I am being physically pinned down by some strange, crazy bastard with serious female issues and a warped sense of aggressive entitlement either from hating his mother or being breast fed for far too long ...

All Blog Happy Hour: Wednesday, Jan. 18, at 7 p.m. at Mackey’s 1823 L Street. This is a combined effort of the Webloggers Group, the Monthly Blogging Happy Hour, which means that no one should be posting on any blog in the Nation’s Capital that night. This is for all bloggers, anyone who reads blogs, and it’s really a great way to meet people. For more information please see Kathryn’s post.

But there's more: DCist is holding a happy hour the following night, Jan. 19, starting at 6 p.m. at the Cue Bar. Details here.

Also Noted:

Sculpture Unbound & Dimensions tonight. From Painterly Visions.

The Inverted Yield Curve and You by Workers of the World Relax

Other highlights of the day included seeing Senator Ted Kennedy on my lunch break. He was just hanging around in the lobby. An intern from Utah starts work on The Hill. From the Foggy Bottom Tribune.

Final delurking days. Completely Irrelevant.

Some restaurant week experiences: at Eat with Me and Pussycat Doll.
