Eartha made the list!
Here's an advertisement for my newest toy. I absolutely love Eartha. She's a 2011 Honda CR-Z EX and takes me back to the late 80's & early 90's when I owned both a CRX and later a CRX-SI. In fact, yesterday, I might have flashed back to 20+ years ago and blared Vanilla Ice and Janet Jackson all the way home from work. Frightening, yes, but it sure made me smile (and probably several other commuters watching me rap in rush hour traffic!) The new CR-Z went on sale in the USA on August 24th but Eartha moved into our garage early on August 20th! Connections Baby!
Despite all the hullabaloo about the CR-Z being impractical, not green enough, not fast enough, and essentially not a CRX, it is possibly one of the most fun vehicles I've owned. It is exciting to see Cars.com included it, along with several other past wheels, on the Top 10 Fun to Drive cars. Here's some other lists with cars from my past...
Cars.Com - Top 10 Fun to Drive Cars
Mazda Miata
Honda CR-Z
Mini Cooper
Mazda CX-9 (we had a CX-7, but it's close)
Car Talk - The Ultimate Gay & Lesbian Cars
Saab 900
Mazda Miata
Jeep Wrangler
VW Beetle
Fenuxe - Top 7: Gayest Cars
Mini Cooper
Mazda Miata
VW Beetle
Subaru Wagon (Yes, I was a lesbian in college with my canary yellow wagon)
Gaywheels.com - Ten Most Researched Rides
VW Beetle
Mercedes C-Class
Summary; the gay and sporty cars end up in our garage! In fact, many of these have been here more than once (Even the Subaru Wagon; Timmy & I both had one in the early 90s.) I should put together a car family tree...we've owned over 30 cars between the two of us. Hard to believe since we're only 26! I wonder if I should tell my Sister about this?

I'm not ready!
It was a shopping catch up day for us. I'm not surprised, and I do understand, but I'm just not ready for Holiday decorations. At least Macy's is subtle for now.
The shopping day ended at our own Cohi Target where a full selection of groceries is now available. Convenient, perhaps, but I'm fairly certain we'll stick to Harris Teeter unless we happen to need a few food items when we're on a Target run. It's kind of like full service light.
Congrats to DC Special Friend, Sister Disco, Tasty T, Eddie, and few other friends who finished the Army Ten-Miler this AM. Despite being registered, my Summer fitness routine, or lack thereof, left me grossly unprepared to run the 10 miles. Mid-Atlantic Warrior Dash nearly killed me and that was only three. The objective is to stop smoking again (I made it 8 mos. the last time) and get my mileage on.
Now it's time for a mini Sunday Funday. Where are my peeps? Oh...I'll just go check the Twitter!

Is this thing on?

It's a busy week with my friend Taco in town. He's well on his way into a 12 month couch surfing journey across the lower 48 states. Make sure you check out his Facebook Fan Page and follow his Taco Adventures Blog for even more detail! His Mia is a very good friend of mine and may be in a city near you seeking a sofa soon!
We're looking forward to the High Heel Race on Tuesday and the March to Keep Fear Alive & Rally to Restore Sanity this weekend when even more friends arrive to camp out at this trailer in the sky. Oh...then there's Halloween!
Let's see if this is just a one day fad or if I really come back to the blogging world!

Considering the weather forecast for the District, looks like she
picked a good weekend to set sail headed South from Miami!

Morning Kids!
I haven't written an actual blog post in some time. Looks like 2010 is going to be a great year! Here it is January and we are hosting our third weekend of house guests to DC. Welcome Erin & Holly from CMH! We kicked off the weekend with Timmy's famous enchiladas, some booze at Polly's cafe, and the obligatory tourist visit to Adams Morgan where the girls sang their hearts out at Karaoke. Fun Times!
The calendar is filling up quickly and I'm very excited about it. This is exactly why we live where we live and how we live. I wonder if people will still come if we settle down to the mid-century home of our dreams? Will it happen this year? Let's just pray we don't end up too far out in the burbs where social lives can go to die. Surely we wouldn't let that happen? Regardless, that's a hint...if you live far away and like the convenience of our U Street location for a getaway, this might be the last year to do it. Our guest room is always open!
So enough about me, now about me; I celebrated yesterday. January 28 marked the official five month anniversary since I quit smoking. This is significant because that's where I gave up in 2008. Honestly, that time around, I was smoking on the weekends in month four, but I always say I quit smoking one time for 5 months...now I really did. This time it is somehow different. Over the five month period, I've allowed myself the occasional hit of someone else's cigarette every few weeks and it's routinely disgusting to me. This is exactly how I want it to feel. I fell off the wagon one night at about month three and chain smoked three cigarettes. This was an excellent alternative to jumping in front of the 14th Street bus, which is what I really wanted to do that night. I announced to the world that I failed, borrowed a fist fool of cigarettes, and smoked 'em up. I fully expected to be a smoker the next morning, but when I woke up that Saturday, I just didn't have any desire to smoke. THANK JEEBUS! Fortunately for all my smoking friends, I do love the second hand smoke so I don't have to be the bitter and judgy ex-smoker and I still get to take passive smoke breaks with my friends! Mostly I just watch everyone's purses and cell phones while they leave me in the bar. I'm really OK with this. The next step is to stop taking the Chantix so I can sleep for more than 3 hours at a time and stop killing people in my dreams. Fun.
Some of us are reliving our youth as we cling to the images of DC's Real World on MTV. It's so strange that we have friends as old as the series and most of them just don't get the fascination with the show. Yes, I stalked them during filming. Yes, I follow their every tweet. Yes, I was at Nellies for the episode 1 viewing party. Yes, Yes, Yes. I'll admit to it all and I'll be sure to tell the world if a piece of the back of my t-shirt makes it on the air. I'm too old and un-pretty to have been asked to sign a waiver so my face certainly won't air, but there's that little tiny chance that I'll get my .5 seconds of fame on the Real World. Stay tuned. If you can't bear to watch, at least read the Georgetown University Blog where they rank the cast members. My beloved gaybie, Michael, didn't get much air time this week, but the blog will show you just how adolescent the show is. It's deliciously horrible!
There are some new additions to the world. Baby Lisa is having another baby in 2010. Now, it isn't what you're thinking; Baby B isn't getting a brother. She started a blog to document how she is Surviving the Simple Life! With just a few posts in, I can tell it will be a must read and have already added it to my Google Reader. I hope she has some Google Analytics linked up to that thing so she can see how many hits she gets. Her tagline sums it up perfectly, "30 something teacher, wife and new mother continues to adjust to a life she never pictured for herself. She trades her vision of a city lifestyle for life on the farm with her husband." Oh, and Sister Disco got a baby of her own, a dog named Zulu, after moving in with the boys. How they live with all those pets and a Vergie up in that trailer is beyond me. They must go through a handle of Jack every day! Finally, Jay over at Kill the Goat is blogging again! You must check out how she follows the doctor's most recent medical advice!
I better bounce off here and get my arse to work. I got up early with the intention of working early and here I sit writing. I gots kids in my trailer that want to experience H Street tonight! There's a new mid-century themed bar, Toyland, having a soft opening this weekend. I got to check it out before it becomes popular with the bridge and tunnel types.
While my blog is so frequently silent these days, I do keep an online presence. If you're interested, follow JasonDC on Twitter where I spew the random nothingness that is my life. Happy Friday Kids!

Quality Programming
quality programming. I couldn't resist posting this option on HBO
Latino. Interesting.
BTW...I'm over four months as a non-smoker; perhaps this will stick?
Go Go Resolution!

RJ makes the evening news! (again)
I leave the city for 5 days and these two get filmed for the news AGAIN during the Snowpocalypse DC snowball fight at 14th & U Streets.
So did the Hummer driver have a gun or not? Seems like there are conflicting reports - anyone catch that irresponsible unbadged officer with his gun out?
