I want that

Here's a completely childish thing from drivemocion that I really need to own. I want the animated one (in the video) but the others look fun too. Kind of expensive for something that I would be too embarrassed to every actually use.



Thanks to GayListDaily for finding this item!

Goodbye U Street Rite Aid???

According to Prince of Petworth, this is the boutique 4 star hotel that is being discussed to replace Rite Aid at the corner of 13th/U. I presume it would have to take out several of those other horribly designed "strip mall" style stores as well (Pizza Slut, Creme, Al Crostino, Pretty Nail, etc.)
For all the details, visit the Cordozo Shaw Neighborhood Association. While a key bonus is the intent for Leed Certification from the U.S. Green Building Council, the real green will be the shocked faces of those people peering out the third floor across into the Ellington. You know what I mean RJ...how do you feel about hotel rooms directly across from your bedroom winder?

We survived another year

Yes friends, we thought 10 was a feat and now 11 has somehow crept up on us without warning. This picture was from last year's party. My how time flies!

Happy Anniversary Baby!

I couldn't resist...

Here's another present for Bosox Siobhan from 8ball

A present for you!

I didn't save enough money to send one of these to Bosox Siobhan today, but she surely would have enjoyed it on this special day!

Amazing "Richard"

OMFG - i cant blog what we are actually seeing, but are here on a completely journalistic mission with vergie.

I think i got in the wrong lane

Oops

Hmmmmmm

I am not sure if it is Rusty or Kevin, but one of Rita Jean's brothers was judging his stance. Cute outfit RJ; is that an Armani gown?

We thought we could smoke on the roof in the tent, but we had to go through the door of the tent to smoke.

Hit This

This taxi isn't the only thing that can crash into this bar! We now number four again!

We've stopped counting

If u can figure out this location you are real good!

Still here...

We thought it was Sunday Funday, but it feels like a Friday night: j, t, r, g, s, m, v, d, h, f, t, v, t, s, k, & k are all rollin cash only at the undisclosed location. This won't end well.

Moving On

10 mimosas, 4 bloodies, & 2 glasses of champaign and we are off to the 2nd location pictured here. Oh yeah...we ate too.

Sunday Funday Kickoff

We number four and are starting a boozy brunch! I ran 7.65 miles this am to prepare my body for some abuse! Stop one, Utopia for $1.25 brunch cocktails and some viddles. RJ and I have a perfect view of Mr. Sexy Brunch Bartender!

I stopped to capture this tourist trap alley mural off U St.

Cougar Barbie

I suspected this is how she'd turn out!

Me too

Blowoff Good

Fun

Sollys Update

I went for a run with Vergie and found Solly's still surrounded in police tape. The construction peoples are boarding up the damage.

**4:30 PM UPDATE** Solly's U Street Tavern will be open tonight! There is no stopping John Solomon!

Solly's Smashed by Taxicab

I was exhausted and decided to stay in last night. At nearly 11 PM, I was nestled in the bed instead of sitting in the window at Solly's Tavern as I might frequently do. This was an excellent choice since at that very time, a taxi driver lost control and REMOVED that window and put the six people behind it in the hospital. I hope it wasn't any of my friends!

You say potato, I say Picasso

I apparently am the guinea pig client at my gym because they put me with yet another new trainer, Miguel, who lasted all of 8 days. I was his first and last client sessions during his time at the gym. Fortunately, both were comped; I will be a guinea pig all day for free training sessions. I really liked the new guy too. A hot little Latin boy that made my muscles ache in all the right places. Regardless, I have now lost 17.5 lbs since my peak this winter and thankfully can fit into some of my warmer winter work clothes again. I'm not race ready yet, but progress is being made. Next week I start with a seasoned, long-time trainer. While ultimately I'd prefer to have Erwyn back, I hope this one works out.

Speaking of work, it has been the longest week ever...and cold enough to create snotsickles on the noses. Six weeks from today I'll be warm in S. America. Of course it is fall there and will probably be cold...at least there will be booze and shopping!

Thanks to Gaylistdaily I found this Mr. Picassohead site and created a masterpiece! Check it out and make your own for a good smile this Friday!

Almost Done

visited 32 states (64%)
Create your own visited map of The United States or try another Douwe Osinga project

I think if I hit Hawaii, Oregon, and Colorado I'll be done. The rest of the states don't really appeal to me. Of course, I did receive a personalized invitation to Alaska from Sarah Palin. Try finding that one in your junk mail pile! Have a great Tuesday and thanks to FiestyHistoryGal for showing me these Douwe Osinga projects!

Hearts on fire

I can pay $10 to the vendor and make my girlfriend BLING on the outside, but only Mary can make her bling on the inside!

An Angel?

Apparently this is heaven!
