a light update

it's so weird being back in DC, for the first time in five years.

some of it i remember really well, some of it i don't. i was in dupont circle tonight...it's a little different than i remember. i thought there were more nightspots there...although i guess most of them must be off the circle, on streets where i wasn't walking. i like dupont circle, it's one of the few places in DC where i spent a lot of time five years ago, when i lived there for a summer.

it's nice to see that kramerbooks is still there. i liked that place a lot. i need to go down there at some point this weekend, especially since my hotel is about four blocks off of dupont circle.

i need to figure out what i'm doing tomorrow. i have plans for lunch, and i have evening plans, but i need to figure out what i want to see during the day. oh well...this is kind of an on-the-fly vacation, i'm sure i'll figure it out.

oh, jealous. I <3 DC. Not for any particular reason, I just do. Dupont Circle is fun. There's also a Fado (really good Irish pub chain, in case you've never been to the one in Chicago) near Chinatown. I can't think of anything else off the top of my head. I admit, I still go to the natural history museum EVERY fuckin' time I'm there, cuz it never stops being cool. And one time I got to pet a taranchula and play with a horned tomato caterpillar.

i didn't know there was a fado here...i went to the one in chicago for the first time last weekend, with a bunch of people from work, and it was quite fun. :)

i didn't actually go to any of the museums...i walked around, looked at shiny things, i think i trespassed in a federal courtroom...all in all, really good times.
