Tumblr you are such a jerk tonight and totally ruining my totally cryptic excitement about something that just happened to me!
Wait what?
While no one is more happy than me that a Z-burger is now open IMMEDIATELY NEXT TO MY APARTMENT, I do question the wisdom of being open to 10pm near a Metro stop that is a DC government office building and a few apartment buildings.
Whatever, when the only other restaurants for a 1/2 mile were Subway and bistro-place that takes 3 hours to get served at, I’ll take it.

Barkey McPoodle: The dog, that, shortly after the Iowa caucus, began barking from some adjecent apartment from 7:30am to 10:00 am and 5:30pm to 7pm. He is uncowed. He will not shut up. His barks end in circular sounding whines. There is a locked wifi network near us named Barkey McPoodle, so either the owner KNOWINGLY leaves their dog to cry during key hours or some other apartment dweller has...
John King, did you just cower to Gingrich?

Amy: You should stop being mad at me.
Josh: I'm not.
Amy: You are. You know, I lost my job because of a strategy you organized.
Josh: You lost your job in a fashion that ensured you 93 better offers.
Amy: That's sweet of you to look out for me, but I liked the job I had. And when I lost it, I didn't pitch anything. I didn't stage a nutty. I fought you, I lost, I had a drink, I took a shower. 'Cause that's how it is in the NBA. You know what I do when I win? Two drinks.

Stayed up late for Iowa caucus and help run a pretty awesome live page. Mittens Romney won by eight votes (OR DID HE?)
In a series of incredibly tense but exciting moments, booked a great deal (i.e. what I was willing to spend on a contitential US vacation) to Istanbul. My Asia stop of contintents just got more legit.

The internet in my apartment is so spotty...
