a wolf of the Steppes....
well, it was quite the weekend (as well as last week for that matter). i have a bit of time left at work, and we are STILL out of SAPE so we can't do anything, it sucks. anyway,
hmmm last week... monday went to my last fort reno of the summer, with coleman, to see georgie james. after we watched Thank you for smoking. tuesday... hmm oh ian & i went to capitol lounge to meet brian & others, for tasty 10 cent wings and capitol amber beer. after... what the hell did we do? i dont know. something. On Wed, jenna's brother Michael had driven into town (with the now-jenna's car, victoria :) from colorado. what did we do? make dinner and watch planet earth? oh yeah, and the dc united superliga game vs. la galaxy... which was cringingly played, and we lost. thursday... hmmm... goddamn. not sure. oh YES. met Bock for his last night at brickskeller... tim and 2 more joined us later... Abby was our waitress (hell yeah! but she's gone now.. going to Cairo to teach english! awesome) . my god we drank (a lot) of delicious delcicious beer. it was a great night. i rode my bike to brian's and slept there. i was hung overrrr on fri morning! ah!! but i made it to work, to do nothing for 8 hours. when i left, i metroed to the Hirshhorn to meet jenna & mike. we left via car, stopped at trader joe's, then made a great thai coconut curry dinner. then off to 10&S for the LAST party. they are all moving out at the end of august, and coleman and matt are leaving dc. **sigh** a lot went down in that house, and its sad to see the era end. but its all good, its all change... anyway it was a lot of fun. kicked 2 kegs. got a little crazy. on saturday morning brian and i arose and, toting harry and ethan, met jenna and mike at the "the world famous" Florida Ave Grill (finally). mmmm amazing breakfast! those hash browns were seriously amazing... and so was the sweet tea. wow. it all was though.
then we sort of parted ways, jenna and mike eventually headed to baltimore, and i forayed into far out in arlington (east falls church metro, then #2 bus) to go to this woman's house to get a baby kombucha scoby. ahhh im so excited!! at last!! today i bought the necessary containers, and tonight im going to attempt my first batch :)
well it took forever, that journey, and i was exhausted when i got back home. no one else was aorund, and i was feeling lazy, so i basically did nothing and went to bed early. since.. never. it was fantastic. i woke up refreshed at 9am. went to Best DC, bought some foodstuffs, and prepared a lunch for our sailing excursion. yeah, thats right- sailing. jenna, myself, brian, ethan, and her friend sarah, and adam (our sailboat licensee!) went out to Bell View Marina, off the gw parkway, out south of Alexadria. although little wind, and little sun at first, it was a lot of fun. yay! after we stopped at the fish market in SW and grilled a seafood dinner. oh so tasty. so it was quite the weekend. relaxing and adventure-filled and substance-filled. what more can a girl want? hehe.
tonight sharri is comin over, we are making sweet potato gnocchi and mussels. and tomorrow is Wolf Parade at black cat... been sold out for a long time but may and i bought our tickets quick!! so thats the last week, sort of, in a nutshell. i'm reading 'Steppenwolf' by Hermann Hesse now, and i think i'm going to read some before i leave. i'm obssessed with him.
