the unavoidable consequence of you
I finally broke down and bought a book last night. Used a very old Target gift card, one of a few given to me at a birthday party by people who I knew forgot to get a gift and swung...

in DC: the sounds of hot monkey lovin’
I was up early and decided I needed to shift my ass and take a walk through the zoo. When I map it out, it comes to about 3 miles through and back which may not sound like a long...
Light, Refracted.
A small coffee break to post about the rainbow we got in DC after a quick shower moved through the city. I looked out my window and saw the perfect unbroken double arc outside. So I naturally grabbed my camera...
DC weather: Trade-off

Paraskavedekatriaphobes, ahoy!
