Where is the “good” in goodbye?

Today's post was going to focus on the Mika concert I went to last night. I planned on giving all of you details and pictures.

But, as we all know, life happens and this entry is about something entirely different.

I have sad news.

My dog, Maggie, has passed away. She would have been 13 years old this coming month. A good long life for a good dog. Oh, how I will miss her crazy barking, and annoying way of pushing you if you didn't pay attention to her.

Ja, Ja, Ja, Jaded

Ok friends, I will admit I was a little cynical in my last post. It was a result of several things. 1) I had to be up really early and stand in the rain for a bus. 2)The metro was crazy crowded and seems busier everyday with more and more people taking it to avoid driving. The metro loses its charm once you have to take it every day and 3) I had a pile of work waiting for me that I really, really didn't want to do.

That said, I think the dog in the poster is really cute and I wish I could take him home. I want a puppy!

I will also admit that I am kind of annoyed with the prospect of people coming to DC because I feel almost like it's my town now and that us DC people should get first dibs. I know that is so wrong because DC belongs to all Americans but I really hate tourist. I know I have been one several times in my life, but I like to think I am the un-annoying tourist who does research before they visit and tries to blend in - it doesn't always work.

Only three weeks left of my internship. It's totally weird. Where has the time gone?

Really?

Have you seen this? I think it is crazy! Why are people making such a big deal about the kind of dog the Obamas get? I also don't understand why all the hotels in DC are sold out for January 20th. If that many people are going to be in the city you won't be able to see a thing. You are better off staying home and watching it on TV. I swear, some people are just dumb.
