On the train to DC this morning. Feeling tired (thanks daylight savings) and sick (sore throat.) Jen and I drove to Laurel yesterday to hit some thrift stores and do some cheapo shopping; the Salvation Army store was closed, so we couldn’t drop off a carload of donations. (List: a box o’ pants, from when I was thrifting about 7 years ago, and buying Levis and Gap khakis that didn’t fit for outdoor contracting; Shirts from high school, and a black turtleneck that didn’t fit when i bought it.)

New favorite store: Rugged Wearhouse. Bought a Timberland windbreaker for $40, marked down from $90, and a pair of Levi’s for $17. gotta love that.

2:30 PM: Flash sucks.

Saturday night was the Addy awards here in DC. We all got dudded up in our wedding suits and taffeta and co-mingled with the beautiful people from the DC design scene. The whole evening was open bar, so it sort of became a race to get as liquored up as we could on someone else’s dime. Very fun, very interesting peoplewatching.

After that was over, we hit Bedrock Billiards up in Adams-Morgan and played bar games until 3am. I haven’t thrown darts in about 7 years, and I forget just how much I love to. They didn’t have a foosball table, which sucks- I need to get some foos-zen going again. Let us now doff our caps in memory of the now-deceased 75-cent Tornado at the mighty Fletcher’s in Fell’s Point. Amen.

Cool site of the day: a no-name poster site selling original Globe Printing Company stock. I want several of these. They’re bad-ass as all hell. I e-mailed the guy today to get some prices on some of the better ones.

5:30 PM: Flash rules.
