Kevin Costner's Russian's Rusty: Washington DC Metropolitan Area Thread II

maybe you should campaign for a dc fap at uni's $1 sushi happy hour and give cafe asia a run for its money.

Ya'll have been giving the lawyers a hard time, but where is the hate for the FEDS? Tombot, I know you suffer the fed pain, so bring ont the HATE!

Having never worked with the Federal Government, I have no grounds from which to make a jibe thereupon.

DC trivia - After the US Government, who is the biggest landowner in DC?

is it a university?

The long-haul feds don't bug me as much as the short-term profiteers, who're much more likely to be found screaming orders at my bartender and mistaking themselves for interesting people.

Yeah, the striped shirt clowns are a whole other tangent that I choose not to deal with. Much like the popped-collar clowns. Tools. I actually tried on one of those blocky collar and cuff striped oxfords a few months ago, and I felt...dumber. Like my ability to express myself was being lost in the intersecting lines on my back.

Weekends in DC are best spent with a good sixer from someplace and watching movies/sports. Weeknights are the new weekends. Theres 2.5 as many of them!

You know my balcony's as enjoyable as any of those places, Z. Ten times as much.

I went to play pool at this awful place in downtown Silver Spring and could only stand like 20 minutes of it--how is one supposed to play pool without cigarettes?

And actually, it's looking more and more like the much-debated DC smoking ban is going to go through, so even the Metro will not save you. Sorry dude.

One thing is for certain: VA will NEVER ban smoking in bars. Phillip Morris swings a big stick in the Old Dominion.

OMG D00D HOYA LAWYA HOUSE PARTY SO WHAT DO YOU DO WHERE DID YOU GO TO SCHOOL LOL PWND

Aw. But that's a good thing surely. You on Myspace?

Earlier this week I was so hyped about an open house for a place in Logan Circle and then dude forgot to send me the details, but I got the mass thank you message saying "sorry, we already picked someone," and then I was in a super shitty mood all evening. I hate this whole process, it feels like trying to win some weird popularity contest, and it's like people, I'm OK, I promise! I'm not that annoying! I'm just shy when meeting random strangers and trying to convince them they should let me live in their house!

Shoot me a line if you're going up to Dremo's any time soon. I worked there this summer, and am in there all the time.

How's the cold turkey going? Quitting smoking for five days is pretty impressive, seriously.

Silver Spring = hardcore dangerous. Our new Ann Taylor Loft only sells Mad Max style leather vests and bandoliers.

I met a friend today at Cafe Bonaparte in G'town. Yummy crepes. Also walked past the C&O canal, around the waterfront park and up Book Hill to the G'town library, which is unfortunately, not open on Sundays.

Dropped some $$ at Urban Outfitters on a green le Tigre track jacket that I soo did not need. but, pretty pink tiger. Went into H&M but the few basic black velvet and black corduroy jackets only available in plus and minus sizes. Was hearkened by the sight of the Lacoste store but not cheered by the merch within. Tried on the navy-blue "boy blazer" at J, Crew, but so not worth the money and the duds at Zara left me cold. The military brigade seems to have ususped the peasants. Found a nice argyle sweater at Commander Salamander but already have the cardigan in a different color scheme.

Tried to go to see Tony Takatani at the E, but couldn't find parking, got confused, gave up and came home. Maybe tomorrow. Must see.

H&M at Tyson's Corner had a few awesome tops, navy blue w/knotted detail at the neckline, fantastic. Didn't have any cash though. In fact I was returning a $8 top to get cash for the drive out of the city because I was running so short. oops! Almost bought a totally preppy navy wool fitted blazer with gold buttons from teh Goodwill a few weeks ago, but at the last minute put it back because the sleeves a touch too short (as usual).

Searching for a place to live completely sucks. Maybe I should try to find guy housemates. Whenever I go to see a place and the potential housemate is a girl, I don't know, I either get the smug competitive vibe or the passive aggressive "I don't like you for no reason" vibe. The other day I called up this dude from a Craigslist ad who had a nice sounding place off Connecticut and after I politely ask if the room was still available, he's like (sarcasm) "No, I just really wanted to talk to a bunch of random strangers so I thought I'd post an ad." Hey, excuse you, asshole!

Really wanting a preppy navy school-style blazer, so bad I walked into American Eagle today bc I had a strange feeling that I had seen such a garment in one of the various American Teen mags. I only walked a few steps in, didn't see it, realized I'd have to go upstairs, looked at the doorman and walked out again.

I've also seen one from Brooks Brothers which is cheaper than the J Crew one, but not by much, and if the J Crew one had fittedness problems, was a bit boxy, I imagine the BB one would be a lot worse.

Good luck, D. I hope something comes through.

I tried on these Free People plaid pleated and cuffed trousers today, but the zipper was so short--it was very strange, like half the size of the a regular zipper. They were like fake pants or something.

Went through the G'town flea market also, slim pickens but it was a beautiful day.

I was out in Fairfax County for a couple days at a temp job and someone ripped the Maryland Democrats sticker off my car. Now I have to find the spare & see if I still have that extra Kerry for President sticker to put next to it. thanks, Virginia.

Yeah but the next question would be "how do I shot getting rid of Owen Wilson and Eddie Murphy?" so I don't know if that's a good trade-off.

fuck owen wilson, fuck the dolphin, and fuck you

i was kind of hoping that gr was implying eddie murphy and owen wilson were morbius and thermo actually.

I do not hang out with uptown drag performers.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA YES

i would pay 50 bucks to see that movie

If we all pay 50 bucks; we can make that movie.

it costs more than $200 to blow up a car like that, ed

no no just film it in front of a blue screen and photoshop everything in during editing

thx for that ;)

so what, i ask owen and eddie to blow up my car, or steal my car? i am not sure which car is mine, in this scenario

BEAUTIFUL.

Ok that picture rules

guys i think i saw everyone i know besides pete tonight on the street or at the black cat.

overheard just now:

b.: when are we having that meeting again?
i.: prrrrrrrrrobably at 3:47? but i have to check.

?????????????

Wait, where was Pete? Was he pondering which next pair of horrible shoes to purchase?

the order of the words on those questions was HORRIBLE. Mah bad.

Pete rulez yo

I saw that kid come out of the hospital in our mother's arms. I BEEN knowing that he rules.

His taste in shoes, however, leaves something to be desired.

i've never even noticed his shoes

I am constantly offended by his shoes.

I am sure that he is constantly offended by several things of or pertaining to me.

Brotherhood. Watchoogwannadoo?

Next week Wed. thru following week Wed.

The likelyhood of me making it to MN is dwindling.

I am in chicago next weekend. Should I go to the Gay Rodeo Y/N?

From the Where Else But Washington Department: At the store this morning there was a guy wearing a tie-dyed shirt. Upon closer view, the shirt turned out to be overprinted in small white text, ending in something like "--Romans...." And of course he was wearing these with khaki trousers.

Not that I was in any position to play Fashion Police; at the hardware store I wasn't the only one wearing loafers with beige shorts.
