Alright. Seriously wishing I hadn’t left DC. That was poor decision making. Which, incidentally, was a hallmark of this trip.
RT @irsymeon it’s like this person was reading the villains guide to better living: http://www.craigslist.org/about/best/wdc/1126876415.html
RT @yahelc RT @isaacluria RT @attackerman: needed: an Israeli political gossip blog called ShimonPeresHilton.com
Got to passport agency for my 9:30am appointment. Estimated wait time: 2.5 hours. FML.
Reading in the grass in Dupont after an exceedingly nice coffee break with @BSweezy. Passport in hand. Middle East Trivia at 6!
RT @hotdogsladies I wish more things felt like the first 10 seconds of “Born to Run.”
Back in line at the passport office. This time they have no estimation for how long it will be. Awesome.
Wow! @zefrank is doing video news blogs (a la The Show http://www.zefrank.com/theshow/) for Time! http://bit.ly/3XR3x5 So much love for Ze.
INBOX ZERO. Woot.
Definitely just asked @mickeljen where the NDI Daily News Update was today. Received email back: “It’s Saturday you funemployed nitwit.”
Buying copious amounts of hot undies in order to fix a crappy day is fucking FOOLPROOF.
Mousavi = Iran’s Obama? This has gone WAY too far. http://bit.ly/lJwUT
My hair is nowhere near as bright red as it looked when the dye was still on. Crisis averted. Off to American Mortals to get it chopped.
I may have just made the biggest little mistake of my life.
Good god. I haven’t left the house at all today. I must rectify this by spending every moment of tomorrow somewhere other than the house.

In traffic heading north to Philly. Leaving DC is so difficult, each time.
Update: Still wickedly nervous, but at least it’s propelling me into Action Torie mode. But for the next 4 hours we read on a bus.
Some really sensible statistical analysis of #iranelection results can be found (surprisingly) at http://www.fivethirtyeight.com/
Watching the #iranelection unfold in real time via twitter. Fascinating. Drinking cold-brewed coffee w/ @btau24 at Qualia.
Having a drink with Noah at the Derb! I haven’t seen him in forever!
RT @jpwhite_mtl At piknic electronik with chike - JEALOUS.
Just screamed LAST CALL and took a shot with my bartenders. Great party.
Bartending Pride’s Mixtape dance party. A float of naked men in leather just pulled up outside. Yay.
My toenails, in case you care, are going to be a bright sky blue.
Headlines on WT building say ‘Bush 41 Celebrates 85 with Skydive’. I feel so much less cool now. I will one up you, old man!
Just passed Failston on the way down to dc. Wish i’d had time to stop by and see the mayor.
Eating scallion pancakes in the hole in the wall restaurant next to the china bus stop. Reading arabic news. Going to DC. Happy.
Away We Go and Taproom w/ Spence, plus some high school reminiscences. Tomorrow we re-take DC. And stay as long as we can.
Chilling in South Philly with Spencer… The Kinks ‘Victoria’ just came on at the bar we’re at. YESSS.
Back at the Gryphon. Drinking homemade limeade and studying 3arabi. Missing DC.
At the Gryphon Coffeeshop in Wayne. One of my favorite places in the world, but wishing I was down in DC for the CNAS conference even more.
Ok now he’s talking about erectile dysfunction between songs. So perplexed.
Dead Souls!
Perry Farrell is alternatively drinking from a cup of tea and a bottle of wine.

Someone on Georgia Ave just called me ‘jive ass’. Compliment? On the MARC train to Baltimore to see @AndrewU and @trentreznor!
RT @irsymeon @littleredcat thank you for solving the middle east conflict. ;) - *pukes*

It’s go time. Wish me luck.
A lovely Main Line evening with invalid-Spencer. But now it’s 3am and I’m up watching Bridget Jones Diary - Edge of Reason. Don’t judge me.
RT @BSweezy http://twitpic.com/6oi99 - Tracy Morgan riding a tricycle while dressed as a cell phone. - Sublime.
I wish it would stop raining. It’s not improving my mood any, and all I want to do is go read on the hammock in my backyard.
Off to yoga. So much love for Devon Fitness Club. What a great gym.
RT @saulwilliams Despite heartbreak, despite recession, despite spite. I am excited by my own courage, faith, and growth.
