DC

Oct 24, 2006 12:43

I'm in Washington, D.C. Everyone looks like they are doing something really important. This morning, at the coffee shop, a random guy asked me what I was reading, and whether it was fiction or non fiction. Thumbing through the pages of the book, he inquired about the stickies and underlining, wondering why I would be reading a book about P.T. Barnum so closely. I answered. Then, he asked me about my dissertation!

I know this is a performance. A performance of over-educated, wealthy, and white D.C. Still, it made me feel like I was on the West Wing.

But, the best thing about DC. is fall. I love fall. Fall is great.
