Timezones suck. I got 2 hours of sleep last year.

I saw two assholey-acting, diplomatic-plated cars today. Maybe it really is as common as the mass media would have me believe. Also, people actually honk at traffic here. I still don't understand that.

The FBI building is one the ugliest buildings I've ever seen.

Apparently I look safe-yet-competent even in a strange city. While I was walking up Virginia avenue someone pulled over to ask for directions -- and I knew the answer.

The exhibit hall of the National Archives is closed for remodeling. I am deeply disappointed. The Constitution and The Bill of Rights are some of the few things that make me feel patriotic.

The temperature was fine, but it was really, really wet. I could either wear my coat and be at a comfortable temperature, yet sweaty, or I could take it off and not sweat, but be cold. I don't know where DC gets off being so humid. It isn't like it's next to a real ocean or anything.

The World Bank has a gift shop.

You should check out the spy museum. I hear it's more of a tourist attraction than a museum, but you know you want to go - and you can tell me how it was, since I never did.

The concept of the display section of the national archives being closed for remodeling right now is so perfectly fitting that I can't even express my amusement at the topic.

Remember, if a car with diplomatic plates hits you or your car, beat the shit out of the driver. If he presses charges, he doesn't get diplomatic immunity from the accident - and if he doesn't, then your car was totalled, but you got to beat the shit out of a diplomat without going to jail.

It's all the hot air coming out of those dipshits down in Virginia that heats the place up, by the way.
