skreidleGah! Almost 80 new posts on my friends page since I shut down my laptop at work around 1630!
Totally missed lunar eclipsitude! Ah well, I suppose they're not that infrequent.
After work, 1730ish, I headed south a bit, parked at Dunn Loring, Metroed into Foggy Bottom, and walked over to McFadden's. (Outside DL, ran into Kerryites and got a button, sticker, bumper sticker, and a sheaf of papers. All I wanted was the pin, really.) There, I was directed to the appropriate room, and proceeded to make merry with a bevy of Princeton/Yale/Cornell folks, running first into Ed (Cornellian, multiple-time Old Rag hiker and former WVBR DJ), meeting several other Cornellians and other Ivy folks, later encountering Monica and Smruti (recent party hosts), hanging out with assorted people whose names I never caught, and admiring the scenery. Oh, lots of scenery. Mmmm.
When the game came on at 2000, I became a Sox fan--not that I have any ties to the team, nor the sport, but a) they've been kicking ass, b) they continued to kick ass, c) they haven't won the Series since freakin' 1918, and d) at least 95% of the bar was Sox fans. It was a very fun atmosphere, especially as the game ran on to its shutout, Series-winning, 3-0 conclusion. :D (I can only imagine the atmosphere in Boston, given how rowdy it was in DC!)
I then succeeded in catching the last train west to get back to my truck, chatting with a random guy about theatre, robots, and computers, until we reached Dunn Loring and went our separate ways. Then I stopped at Taco Bell, with its 24hr drive-through.
Addendum: Well, only took ~50 minutes to catch up. :P
Check out the trailer for this Japanese movie adaptation of The Phantom of the Opera.. looks very pretty.
