The greatness that is springtime in DC:
April 16 – right outside of our front door. Blossoms are just coming out.
April 21 – full force bloomin’…
April 21 – getting the mail has never been as… pink!
(all pictures were taken with a not-so-impressive camera phone)
Well, the party of pinkness is almost gone, as the petals have fallen to the asphalt below and have mostly been washed away by the rain. These trees are now green and leafy. There’s no problem with green and leafy, but it just last longer than the flowery stage. That being said, it was kind of cool seeing a parking lot with an inch of petal accumulation…
The nastiness that is DC in the springtime:
Today I haven’t been able to stop sneezing. I’m usually not one for allergies, but today they’ve simply knocked me over. And these aren’t just rapid fire bouts of sneezing, either. No. Each one is an endothermic, energy-sucking, long drawn out process. And once each damn sneeze finally leaves my body — there’s no real “sneeze-gasm” that accompanies it! The sneezegasm is really the only thing that makes it all worthwhile…
The only upside to these allergies is that my nostrils feel cool and clean — as if I just treated them to a brushless car wash. I feel like I could smell key lime pie in Ohio right now…
I hope the sneezing stops before TequilaCon this weekend… (speaking of which — anyone still need a roommate?)
And that, my friends, is all I have for today.
Thank you for reading. I’m going to go hump the fridge.
(Kind of NSFW because, well, fridge-humping.)

NarfPoint: The problem is that there is no calendar. There’s a Cherry Blossom parade and week of festivties, but they pop when they pop — simple as that.
And I’m sure Mrs. Shiny wouldn’t mind — as long as you’re chock full of yogurt, Gatorade and leftover Lo-Mein…
Mr. Fab: for two weeks at a time, yes.
MetalMom: Thanks. I was supposed to take a comp-day from work tomorrow, but I pushed it to today because I was feeling so awful. I just hope I can function tomorrow. Drugs are good…
Winter: Key lime pie, in my eyes, tastes like kissing Angelina Jolie and having her tell her friends what an awesome lay you are. As for the cherry blossom petals — luckilly they’re all in a common area and pretty much was away by themselves.
i hate gatorade. am i still in?
