If you’re an Arlington resident and have some books that are due to go back this week – keep em. Anything that was due on the 5th on through the 15th is now auto-magically not due back till the 16th. If you’ve got something you checked out in 1993 and [...]
I Enjoy A Nice Time Lapse
Oh, what you’re not sick of time lapses? ME NEITHER. Good. Here’s another, this one by Andrew Cutaro. I like this one for it’s longevity, and daily life action (clearing the car, walking the dog, sidewalk shoveling, etc.).

Another Snowball Fight in Dupont Today
If you’re itching to venture out today and can do so safely, there’s another snowball fight being planned for Dupont Circle today at 2PM.
And then once you’ve gone and worked off your cabin fever, you can buy the t-shirt. Edited to add: Or you can get the “official” t-shirt, if it’s important to you to be “official” [...]

Yeah, I feel you. There’s only so many days you can surf the interwebz, watch movies, catch up on your DVR recordings, read, twiddle your thumbs, pace around your apartment, etc.
So let’s get crazy and kick ourselves into snowaction. The Washington Post’s Jenna Johnson has already compiled a fantastic list of snomageddon [...]
Snow Fort Sublet on Capitol Hill! Turn Key!
Snow Fort from Craigslist.org
Ok, this is just hilarious. I know we’ve been covering a LOT of snow related “news” lately, but sometimes you just find something that demands postage. Half the interwebz have seen our post on the Big DC Condom Shortage of 2010 from earlier and this just fits right in with the lighter [...]

You knew it couldn’t last long. Metro is back to underground-only service and no bus or MetroAccess for Wednesday the 10th. And yet, the feds haven’t announced their closure yet… Any bets on how long that will take?

Do something for others on Thursday
Adam Gallagher of Food&Friends reached out to us saying that these storms and subsequent transportation ugliness has made it hard for them to deliver meals. Here’s their plea, verbatim.
On Thursday, February 11th, Food & Friends needs 20 volunteers to deliver meals, especially those with 4-wheel-drive vehicles. Those without cars would be very much appreciated in [...]

Metro has just notified us that ALL 86 Metro stations are now open. But use ‘em quick, because they may have to close them again due to tonight’s Son Of Snowpocalypse. Trains are still on their every-20-minutes schedule, but now all the lines are running.
Buses, of course, are still a [...]
She Loves DC: Ashley Messick of From Komi to Marvin
There are only a handful of people that understand what it is like to eat at 84 places in 6 months. Ashley Messick is one of them. Funny, adorable, and one of my favorite food writers in the city, Ashley embarked upon a year-long project of eating at every single one of the 2009 Washingtonian [...]

Maybe you don’t live in the city proper and it looks like you may get stuck in DC tonight. Or you just can’t take the sight of those four walls anymore and need a change of scene. If your tastes tend to the luxurious, The Jefferson is offering [...]
We Love Arts: Evolve Urban Arts Project
Arts organizations tend to get hit the hardest in times of economic distress or, let’s face it, the current weather crisis. When galleries and theaters have to shutter their doors for even one night, it can be devastating. So consider this your PSA for Arts today: once we’re out of this mess, hit a play, [...]

As I write this, the mild winter sun illuminates the pale blue Phoenix sky and warms the earth to a perfect 74 degrees. Retired people wearing athletic gear and sun visors pass by my window in their electric golf carts, either on their way to the 1st hole or on their way home [...]
