DC Blogs Noted



The Florida Grill Weekend Home
And I Am Not Lying, For Real
High praise for the The Florida Grill – Dennis. And tasty writing. An excerpt:

If a career spent behind a screen is the pin that pops my dream of fitness, the hand that jabs the balloon is my deep, abiding love of soul food. It flicks the drug switches deep in the brain, giving one this glazed, mellow smile after a meal.
‘Do You Know Who I Am?’
Sandblower

This writer witnessed an interesting altercation between his Metrobus driver and a would-be VIP. If only we knew who the VIP was ... Dennis

The man at the bus window, a white man with grey hair and glasses, wearing a dark suit, continued to berate the driver and threatened to call his supervisor. The bus driver lost his apologetic tone, and asked the man to move his car sothat he could continue his route. The angry driver repeated his threat.

Best blog name award: Go Flying Turtle. Dcblogs team member Reya found this one in her travels. It’s an art blog, and the lead post concerns the Hokusai Exhibit at the Sackler. It’s written by Steve, who came to this area for a teaching job, and who writes:
I've got a love/hate relationship with this area and occasionally feel like I'm still adjusting. I love all that this area has to offer with its abundance of culture and nature. I get tired of the constant state of development and ridiculously high cost of living.

The Art Blog Challenge is a national blog, but Reya notes that it looks like fun. It’s a large group blog filled with some clever illustrations. Check it out.
