I found myself in a bit of a new world this weekend. On an impromptu, but much enjoyed, invitation, I was seated in the living room of a house in Cathedral Heights listening to people play music and read selections from books, when I had the pleasure of stumbling upon a new project.

Impatience is one of my worst traits. Honestly, I can barely stand in a line for ten minutes. This should stand in contrast to the fact that I stood in line for almost 28 minutes (yes, I was counting) while waiting to attend the DCist Exposed Photography Show Opening at Long View Gallery.
Out of over 1,000 [...]

On occasion, I have found myself very much in love with boys who are rather far away.  For the years after and still today, I sometimes turn around quickly and wonder if they are there, somewhere, close to me. More often then not, I get that feeling in my stomach when no one is there [...]

I can be a bit of a social hypocrite. While, I always intend to attend events, I frequently back out at the last moment. I get tired. I find a good movie. Or mainly, I simply end up working until late late late at night. This past Saturday, I actually managed to make it off [...]

On Superbowl Sunday, I trudged through the snow to watch a battle that didn’t involve footballs, or cleats, or dancing cheerleaders. Instead, I walked two miles amongst fresh snow to take in the Shakespeare Theatre’s Company’s production of Richard II.

Occasionally (or let’s be honest, a few times a month) I do something that is less than sophisticated. This particular event, of which I’m to tell, occurred last weekend and involved me, a well aged bottle of malbec and the advice of one illustrious Debbie Wiener (henceforth know as the interior designer to the slobs).

What do you get when you combine a whimsical night of dance with vivid customs made of delicate silks? That would be a night of dance performances by the Silk Road Dance Company. The National Theater is hosting free performances every Monday this spring season. If you are tired of those Monday blues, make sure [...]

Eyes are a funny thing: sometimes they see straight ahead through everything, sometimes they find a salt and pepper shaker beautiful and occasionally, they find a whole new focus.  Last night, I attended the first of many “Eye of the Photographer” photography lessons at the Arlington Arts Center.  Within two hours, I had learned about [...]
