We all already know this, but the people at Continental Airlines need to be reminded. On my flights to and from Texas, I was enticed to watch terrible (just terrible) movies during the two-hour-plus flight. On the way there, I was able to make a new friend thanks to Jennifer Lopez and The Back-up Plan (20%). …

It's not New York or San Francisco, but DC has some surprising cultural moments to be discovered. And I'm going to tell you about them. Special attention to free, super cool, or just plain strange events.
Texas Hill Country Makes A Play For My Heart
More from the travel log. The sad thing about living in a big city is the loss of that forthright nature the citizens of the Texas hill country have in spades. Unlike the Dutch (who are painfully honest) and Midwesterners (who are painfully nice), Texans are really honest and really nice. Maybe not just nice–friendly. …
the Fridge Seems to Be a Pretty Cool Joint
The Fridge is easily the coolest place in Eastern Market. It can be hard to find, but once you do, you feel as if you’ve entered an exclusive speakeasy in Prohibition-era Chicago. It’s the place to be, evidenced by the cool glances you receive from the artistes once you step inside. But what do we…
I Like Style, Therefore I Am (a hipster?)

Scott Pilgrim: Everyman
Today I watched Scott Pilgrim versus The World. Since I paid $11 for admission, I will be reviewing the snot out of it. Stay tuned.
Oh, are you from out of town?
Living in DC means many things, but one is for certain — tourists. They come and go, and they will always come and go, so why get upset when they get in the freaking way? They are grown adults (for the most part) and they know what they can do to not be irritating and…
Metro, Why You Do Me Like That?
It happens. You are out at some fabulous play opening signing autographs late into the night/tapas bar having meaningful conversations of glasses of Ribero/Dan’s Cafe making fun of college students and iterns, and you lose track of time. But you make the last train home! Your SmarTrip card fare is negative $0.15, but you know…
Blank Canvas
What is it about a clean slate that is so terrifying? It’s zen, sure, but what does that even mean? A cluttered house or desk looks awful, but to the one who did the organizing, that clutter is stimulating! Same with a blank screen: it’s like a vertical wall to be scaled, not just a…
