district belle: a belle farewell to the district
http://lj-dc.blogspot.com/2007/10/belle-farewell-to-district.html
Friday, October 05, 2007. A belle farewell to the district. It's the last day. At the end of work today, I'll be leaving early, way too much luggage in tow, and off to catch a cab for Union Station. Tonight I'll be in NYC. Not in passing, but to stay. It's been a quick process to make the move up, but what can I say - I'm a rip the BandAid off kind of girl. Nor will I miss h. Aving to swipe one's Metro card upon entering AND exiting the Metro system. The thing I will. What will I miss the most? Kinda suc...

SciWonk: April 2009
http://sciwonk.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html
Thursday, April 2, 2009. Sometimes, especially when life gets extra-busy, stressful, or there's a lot of change swirling 'round, I wake up at night and can't quickly fall back asleep. Tonight, I awoke at 5. Usually, it's 4am. The 30s Metro buses begin running at 5. I begin to hear their heavy, groaning engines, rumbling by, a block away. I think of my friend, who I call, Squire, who is a teacher and who buses across town early in the morning. Buses and 5am seem like a bad combo. The house is finally quie...

SciWonk: March 2010
http://sciwonk.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html
Wednesday, March 3, 2010. Being on this crowded 30s bus reminds me of my old commute from Chantilly to Old Town, Alexandria. It was 1.5 hours each way. I was living temporarily with a relative, and rent was free. I had a new job in a new town. Once, I recall dozing off on an Orange Line train heading into the city from the 'burbs one morning. I awoke, realizing that I was leaning heavily on a man's shoulder. The joys of commuting. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile.

Wednesday, March 25, 2009. Cutting my Shin: a Memory Comes Flooding Back. It was in the early 1980s - I was 10 or 11 years old. Our new house was under construction. Mom, Dad, my sister, and my friend, Joy D., went to check on the progress. Joy and I were playing on the front porch. There was a piece of aluminum sheet metal nearby. I pretended to stumble over it - except that I cut it too close, and really stumbled over it. I was really squirming and crying. We should remember that there are key moments ...

Wednesday, June 17, 2009. Congressional Staffer of 6 Years. RE: Do’s and Don’ts of Meetings with Congressional Staff. Do NOT touch your Blackberry when you are meeting with me. I was once in a meeting with a well-paid lobbyist and six of his out-of-town clients. As the out-of-towners attempted to make their case to me, his Blackberry make sounds twice. Then, he had the nerve to pick it up, check it, and send a message during the meeting. The look she gave him suggested that his contract may be ending soon.

SciWonk: Compact Digital Camera with Flip Screen
http://sciwonk.blogspot.com/2009/05/compact-digital-camera-with-flip-screen.html
Tuesday, May 12, 2009. Compact Digital Camera with Flip Screen. Would somebody please create a compact digital camera that has a swivel LCD screen? My old Canon has one, but it's big and is getting old. So I'm looking for a fun, compact point-and-shoot. I know that adding a swivel screen adds a bit to the bulk of the camera, but there are things swivel-screen cameras can do that others can't, such as taking pictures from odd angles. Example 1: From the ground. Example 2: Perfect backgrounds. Traveled to ...

SciWonk: Entrances
http://sciwonk.blogspot.com/2009/06/entrances.html
Thursday, June 11, 2009. Is it always this busy? Overheard, Cannon House Office Building, southwest entrance; one new guard spoke to another longer-time guard. 8:58am. The answer is no. That entrance gets crowded only when there is a line waiting at Longworth's southeast entrance (across the street). Normally it is among the least busy entrances to the House office buildings.
