DC Blogs Noted

A great gift of blogging are the stories of bringing new life into the world. This blogger shares her marvel and wonder. An excerpt:


How is it that I can put all of my concentration and effort into something, with my whole mind, and still mess up, and yet, here I am, making this complicated mass of cells and flesh without even thinking about it.

Why aren’t there police on foot in the U Street area? That’s what Dog Eat Dog DC wants to know. I can honestly say I have never seen an MPD officer walking U Street. Never. When I do see an MPD car its whizzing on by and into patrol car oblivion. What good does that do?!

Important medical advice: Wouldn’t you rather have a brain surgeon with a British accent than one with a Southern one? From a post about British accents by Sarcastic and Cyncial

Artist’s studios from
190 sq. feet at $206 a month at DC Art News.

Metro DC Sewer worries that the
driving cell phone ban will be expanded to include hands free devices. So I guess that means cops will be able to pull me over on Connecticut Avenue if they see me giving myself a pep talk because, gasp, I could have been talking on a hands free phone.

Foggy Bottom ale is evidently shutting operations. There’s a
good column in WaPo by Marc Fisher.

While on the subject of Foggy Bottom … Lindy’s Red Lion drew a reviewer from dcfud who wrote this: When my
defeated-looking basket arrived, the tiny meat patty reminded me of the Midwestern highschoolers, cold, thin, and greasy. It's still a great neighborhood/GWU hangout.

GWU’s spectacular
last second victory over Charlotte recounted on Colonial Hoops. The ball bounced off the far end of the rim, which was then grabbed by Carl Elliott, who in mid air, put the ball in as time expired, giving GW the one point victory. DCist also has report and photos.

Stop toying with me already. Funny little quip by someone waiting to find if they made it into GWU. By Retius.

Movie reviews:

A
review of the movie Ultraviolet expressed as a mathematical formula. (In short, the movie doesn’t add up) By Baggage Carousel 4

Nice theater, however: Tonight we finally went to AFI's Silver Theater and saw Night Watch, part one of the Russian vampire trilogy. The theatre was beautiful and really huge, but there was hardly anyone there. From Black Eyes and Checkerspots
