DC Blogs Noted
Risk taking by DC Bangkok Expat Mama. This writer doesn’t follow conventional advice about living overseas and says she is better for it. Excerpt: But without taking some risks about what to eat, where to live, and to whom we open our hearts, our lives here might seem pallid and half-lived. (Remind me I wrote that the next time I spend an evening clutching the commode.)
There’s the Compliment Guy in Dupont and Georgetown’s Insult Lady, but it is my neighborhood crazies that I really call my own, writes DC Rebel. When I pass them in the early morning hours on my way to work, they are quick to stand up and give a proper "Good Morning Sunshine!" with a wave - if only they didn't sleep naked and drop the newspaper when they stand. Good Morning Sunshine indeed.
Jimbo is riding his bike home and spots a man throwing an old computer printer into the yard of a vacant house. A confrontation ensues. Excerpt: "That's illegal dumping!" I yelled back at him. He cursed and scowled, and seemed to think that dumping it in someone else's yard is OK.
Attends cockfight in Manila; photos and story at Belly Button Window. Excerpt: Less than a minute and one bird lay dead. The other, wounded but alive, is carried with pride from the ring. The still motionless, still untouched looser, is cursed by many in the stands.
The Smithsonian blog, Eye Level has been busy blogging about the reopening of the Donald Reynolds Center for American Art and Portraiture.
Washington Independent Writers Groups Camp Night. Details and link at Hackman-Adams.
Interesting piece in the New York Times Sunday opinion section titled, The Lonely American Just Got a Bit Lonelier, about the declining number of confidants that people have in their lives. The piece doesn’t look at blogs specifically or DC, but its main point may be of interest to bloggers.
