the hustle
December 17th, 2009
It’s not a very people-crowded shot, especially for the Chinatown Metro which is always among the busiest stations in the system, but still, it somehow reminds me of the hustle-bustle of the commute and of course the holidays. Everyone is running around like crazy chickens in a hurry to get to fancy parties and huge sales. Thankfully, I’ve just about finished all of my Christmas shopping in the past few days, and I’m only waiting for a few more Amazon packages to show up at my desk. I suspect though, that a lot of people out there (read: men), still have yet to begin. I don’t know what it is with those that can wait until the last second to shop. Maybe they just operate well under pressure, or maybe they just don’t feel the pressure at all. At the risk of sounding sexist, biased, whatever, I just don’t think men stress out and worry about gifts. They pick up something and go with it. Women are all like, “What if they doesn’t like this color sweater?” and then let the over-analyzing continue. Am I wrong? Wait, I thought I was talking about the Chinatown Metro…
Metro Canopy Monday
October 19th, 2009
Happy Monday morning to everyone! Hope your weekend was lovely, despite all the rain and wind. We attended the beautiful wedding of Jaime and Sean on Friday, spent time relaxing, eating, and reading at Bethany Beach on Saturday, and booing the Redskins on Sunday.
Today’s photo is an interesting black-and-white perspective on the U St. metro canopy. Strangely, it’s making me crave a sub. I just can’t figure it out.
next stop, Gallery Place/Chinatown

You can never post too many metro pictures. That’s what I always say. It’s a little fuzzy, but I like how the people are standing/sitting and looking all bored and put-out. That’s the red line for you these days.
sad day for metro…

Details from yesterday’s red line metro train crash seem to be getting worse this morning, as the number of deaths is now at 7 people. Luckily, both Matt and I were still at work when the collision occurred. Normally though, I ride that train home a few times a week… though I think I will be driving the remainder of this week, and when I do ride the metro again, I will be seriously thinking about which car I hop onto. Seems like the first and last cars are not the way to go. :/
happy birthday, jill

happy birthday to you, happy birthday to youuuuu! Ya ain’t 21 anymore, so… well, look at the bright side, you can’t lose your ID on Bourbon Street this year.
back to work
May 26th, 2009
I hope everyone had a nice Memorial Day weekend. We did! Got a nice Saturday-morning bike ride in, spent some QT with the siblings (managing somehow to stay up until 4:30am), and threw our first party & BBQ since moving into our new place. Great success! Although apparently we didn’t take too many photos during any of this… So I’m posting up an oldie, but goodie, metro lights shot taken with a Windsor camera.

Go to work, come home, repeat… heheheee. Looking forward to this long weekend!
back of the bus…errr train
April 2nd, 2009
On the way to work today I got the coveted back seat of the rear car on the metro. This is probably not cared about by most commuting folk but I like it because it allows me to pass the time by taking fun photos as we pull away from metro stations. This one is the view exiting Judiciary Square headed towards Union Station. Also, it kind of reminds me of sitting in the back of those old station wagons that had the seat pointed backwards (which allowed you to make faces and incite road rage on the drivers behind you).
Anyone get hit with a good April Fools joke?
it’s a doozy

Looking down into the abyss I mean metro entrance…. Yikes.

Another Holga shot, going up the metro escalator. Happy Friday! It’s almost turkey day…
