Play Overload
I spent the past three days watching around 12 hours of theatre at the Kennedy Center Page-to-Stage Festival. I will write up some reviews tomorrow, but in the meanwhile I’m going to… relax for a while, play some video games and chew the fat with the new housemates. So much theatre in so little time […]

It’s a T-shirt that changes it’s color and text before depending on your mood and situation. When the Mets win, it’s blue and says “Let’s Go Mets” in curly orange script. When the Mets lose, it says anything else. At DC9, the shirt is black and boasts something ironic like “Villain of the Year” in […]

Recap of the Fringe Festival

The first edition of Rocketboom without Amanda Congdon debuted today. Let’s be clear on something: watching Rocketboom for news is like reading Playboy for the articles. Presentation, not content, defined Rocketboom 1.0. I don’t mean to suggest that the sum of the videoblog was Congdon’s physical attractiveness though the comments section of blogs covering Amanda’s […]

DC Bee Concluded
Monday night was the DC Bee Final. I’ve attempted to recap some of the night below. If there are any inaccuracies in my telling, I’m sure someone will correct me. … It’s 8:45 PM, fifteen minutes late, when the organizers finally open the doors to the Warehouse’s main theater. Carmen, Laura, and I are in […]

I had a lot of fun playing this flash game, Teagames.com’s Blueprint. Another blogger Claudiu posted solutions for the original puzzles (and was kind enough to post some different solutions I sent him). Teagames recently released some new levels. Since I have too much time on my hands, here are the solutions for the final […]

Women Demand No Scruff Now
This will be twice in a row today I blog about faux grassroom movements. This one, NoScruf.org, is a lot more amusing than DontRegulate.org. NoScruf is the clearinghouse for women fed up with men who cling to scratchy stubble. They’re fighting back, witholding sex and refusing to shave themselves. It’s a clever campaign and, I […]
