London Bound, Nationals Stadium, Music & DVD
I'm going to London from the 24th of December to the 31st. Main purpose of the visit: Seeing my wonderful sister and Brother-In-Law. Real reason for visit? To be photographed on the pier that hosted the Fish Slapping Dance 35 years ago and to be photographed in the crosswalk in front of Abbey Road. I do plan to bring my laptop, so I will be writing from London - that is if I'm not too busy trying to stalk Michael Palin.
----------------------------
MLB made a mistake. They didn't count on the Miami stadium deal collapsing. Now the District has the upper hand. Bad (comparatively) for MLB, good for DC. They're still getting a stadium, but their greed has resulted in it going from being free to them having to pay for some of it - only because they refused to guarantee to pay their rent (I have to guarantee to pay my rent!!!).
I did, however, buy the new hat today. I feel special. Plus now I can wear a red hat without feeling like an accessory to the Bush Administration (I know, I know, but here in DC these kinds of appearances matter).
----------------------------
Music of the moment? Travis. Even when they rip-off the Loving Spoonful, they're still quite awesome. DVD? Arrested Development season 2. Why is it I only seem to get into shows once they're cancelled. The same thing happened to me for Futurama and Family Guy. Speaking of, Family Guy Season 3 is out tomorrow and Simpsons Season 7 is out in a few weeks. Mwah ha ha... fiscal discipline - you have no chance in the face of crass commercialism and DVD Box Sets.

On behalf of dancing fish-slappers everywhere, we're looking forward to seeing you. And of course you should feel free to bring your laptop--but, you know, we do have computers here in London (Macintosh though they may be.)

(*)"Bob" is a quaint British phrase meaning "Gordon, Stuart, or Steven."
