We had another snow day today because the streets are still in rather a mess (oh, D.C., with your not knowing how to deal with snow), and we've got another snow day tomorrow because there's another storm expected to dump a further 10 to 20 inches of snow on us ( Read more... )

You guys! D.C. is getting an S-Bahn!!! I went out to see Emmet Otter's Jugband Christmas with my Munich roommate tonight* and she mentioned the fact that D.C.'s new streetcars look exactly like the S-Bahn.

Today, at long last, was a day with no Headache! \o/ I'm still not entirely back to my perky self, but no Headache is a vast improvement. Here's hoping next month is better. (Because I went to the doctor on Monday and she agreed with my suspicion that it's a period-related migraine. Ick. At least now I have a battle plan for next month. Oh, ( Read more... )
