“Home is my favorite place in the city. More specifically, the
Underdog Corner is my favorite place at home. It’s humorous, leafy
and bright. It just makes me happy.[Entry continues after the jump.] (more…)
I think I may have inadvertently stumbled upon a grand dentistry conspiracy. As one with dental insurance I take full advantage of it and religiously go to 6 month cleanings. So on my last cleaning I was told to buy an electric toothbrush. So like a good kid, I ran from the dentist and got your standard electric toothbrush. It has treated me well, or so I thought. All of a sudden one of my teeth got super sensitive. I thought I was going to need a root canal or something. So I go to the dentist Monday and explain the problem. He asks me after poking around for like 10 seconds, ‘am I using an electric toothbrush’? Yes, of course I reply. Well he says to me, ‘oh, you’re brushing too hard and have removed some enamel and exposed some pores that have lots of nerves’ or something like that. And I’m like, WTF? You are the one who told me to get an electric toothbrush! What the hell sort of catch 22 is this? By the by, his resolution was to gently glide the electric toothbrush and use sensodyne. This is kind f’d up, no? I’m fairly certain it is a conspiracy among the American Dental Association, Electric Toothbrush Manufacturers of America, and Sensodyne…
I’m guessing that stop sign isn’t exactly street legal, but I won’t give up the address, so no worries. I like it though. It’s saying stop and sit for a while in this nice velvet chair, the world will wait.
What the hell is up with all these gatorade flavors that give you no indication of what they taste like? I was so hungover at this point, I just wanted a delicious lemon lime. But no! I had to decide between ‘Rain’ and ‘Frost’. What the hell does ‘Rain’ taste like? Because it was light green, I though at least it would taste like lemon lime. But in reality it just tastes like a melted green ice pop. What the hell happened to the proper flavors? Who does this marketing campaign appeal to anyway?

“After much deliberation, I have decided that my favorite spot in DC would have to be my teeny tiny 300 sq. ft. studio apartment, which for an hour or two a day—depending on the season and current weather conditions—lights up like Studio 54. No matter my mood, seeing the sun reflected off my disco ball’s mirrored tiles always puts a smile on my face. How could it not?”
I’m not sure if you can tell from this photo, but this has got to be the steepest wheelchair ramp I’ve ever seen…
“This is my favorite place in DC. The national mall – where real Jews argue with fake Jews (guess which is which!) about who the real Jews are, while thousands of other people mill about aimlessly, while second tier celebrities encourage them to Save Darfur! or something like that. Note, however, that the two opposing sides agree to disagree about the core issues of the authenticity of the Jewish faith, and are in the process of placing a simple wager on that evenings baseball match. I believe the gentleman in red liked the Nats, but was taking the over/under. Fun things like that really only happen in DC. Meanwhile, the Onion correctly points out that the Darfuri’s lack of awareness of how aware we are of the situation in Darfur.”
By John Deere of course. Reminds me of my summers in the Quad Cities…
“My favorite place in DC is my apartment and more specifically my rocking backyard! Now my roommate and I did a massive search for an affordable apartment in D.C. which led us to Petworth…and where the hell was that?! Well, we love our neighborhood – right across from Rock Creek Cemetery which is a really beautiful place and down the street from restaurants like Domku, but not as much as our apartment which is spacious and every room has a different vibrant and feng shui’ed color. I’ve decorated with awesomely kitschy gold lamps, candles, posters and more candles much to my roommate’s amusement. I am kinda in love with my apartment and the fact that we have a gated backyard that means i can look out the windows and not see a rank alleyway but green trees. In fact, my roommate’s fiancee picked the backyard to propose to her, so she can look out and think of that moment everyday. It’s great breath of fresh air for me in this city, and when i dont feel like fresh air we’ll go down and have a cigarette :)”

Inspired by a friend of mine. Why are all dry cleaners closed on Sunday? Does that make any sense at all? Isn’t it natural to drop off or pick up dry cleaning over the whole weekend? Wouldn’t it make more sense if they were closed Mondays like barbers are?
