Brad Pitt Has Your Secret Shit: Rolling DC

Works for us!

i think i will be able to make it

I was up all night working and have three more meetings coming up - I'll probably be a cheap and delirious drunk by tonight. Looking forward to it!

MUCH FUN

I am sorry I missed you and wifey last night, Dan! But Mr. Que reported a lovely time and much <3 <3 <3 for you and J. I hope he stepped up with proper representation for the Q clan.

snowballed by mistake by a 7-year-old outside the Tenleytown Whole Foods

rough neighborhood

might want to avoid using snowball as a verb there

whoops. I'm sure I say all kinds of borderline nsfw things at work in my clueless Britisherness.

oh no, a little bit of snow on the ground, time for everyone in dc metro to freak out & forget how to drive..

Now I understand the construction at the National Gallery of Art East Building entrance---the building is falling apart. 85 mill to fix it...

Just been to 80s night at the Black Cat. What the hell happened in the US in the 80s?! Disappointing.

lol

Did they play '80s hairmetal hits or early rap or uh Styx and Kansas and Billy Joel?

french toast alert has been raised to severe--grab your share of bread milk eggs and panic while you still can

Mostly the hairmetal

No Brit New Romantics though.

Weather--Channel 4 guy says 30 % chance of a snow of "historic proportions"....70 % chance of at least 6 inches

That likely means less than 6 inches. Will is right. Panic and get that bread and milk now.

There's still time to buy more milk

IF THERE'S ANY LEFT OH GOD WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE

Yeah every time this shit happens it's right around the freezing point and the heat island effect means DC proper will get less than half what the surrounding areas do, if it sticks at all.

yeah dc proper snow forecasting goes something like: 16" predicted => subtract 4" b/c it will never ever snow more than 12" in dc => subtract 3" due to local news & weather sites hyping storm to drive viewers => subtract 2" b/c temps will be 1-2 degrees higher than called for => subtract 2" b/c the storm moves faster than expected/arrives later than expected/turns to wintry mix or rain earlier than expected = 5" = storm of the century

that said, i like capital weather gang and they like this storm so

all these 'friends' on my facebook 'news' feed like OMG THERE MIGHT BE 'THUNDERSNOW'?!

i don't believe it

Wow, there closing the above-ground Metro stations at 1 today

they're

i feel like if they call for this much snow, we're gonna get it. it's when it's between 4-8 inches that they fuck it up.

looks awesome!

I've got tons of snow in Arlington. Does look great.

well that was fun

Federal Govt. agencies in the DC area closed on Monday. Wooo Hooo!!!

Shoveling has not been fun. Not sure if I will make it to the Scream show tonight

wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!

this means a lot of people have a 1.5 day work week - Tuesday+half of Wednesday, NICE

Federal closure is making my Sunday night a pain in the ass as I try to figure out what to do with a bunch of new federal-site contract employees who are freaking out about how they are gonna bill.

DAMN U TOMBOT AND YOUR FED FRIENDS!

So who here other than I has to work tomorrow?

me

I do as well. From home though.

yo

based on my commute this a.m., Maryland wins the prize for the most retarded snow driving.

Like seriously people 270 is CLEAR and DRY so wtf u going 20 miles under the speedlimit in your HUMMER for?

my co-worker, who hasn't had the best year ever and just wanted to get home (see July posts here) sat on a stationary British Airways flight for 7 hours Friday night, then was stuck for 3 days in a hotel near Dulles. I think she finally flies to the UK today. She says spirits are surprisingly high but bodies are smelly.

Oh dear god SEVEN HOURS ON STATIONARY PLANE is like at least six hours too many for sanity.

happy birthday, quincie!

The Senate is working on X-Mas Eve morning for the first time since 1963

Yeah well my office is open (alas, I am not in it!) so least those bastards could do.

Thanks B!

Quincie, did you do a Jewish X-mas? My kid and I saw Avatar in 3d with the grandparents and cousins and then had Chinese food.

This movie is showing for free tonight courtesy of Solas Nua at 7 (doors at 6:30) at flashpoint, 916 G street nw, dc 20001
