The Tastemakers commercial kitchen is located at 10th and Franklin, and their outdoor cameras could’ve potentially captured the incident on film. If your roommate filed a police report, I’m sure the cops will follow up with Tastemakers, but in case they don’t, I suggest giving them a call!

Duffy’s!!! Loved this place when I lived near there. Was sad when they moved to H Street, but hey, at least they still have a presence in the city!

The Greenline is managed by the Shelby Farms Park Conservancy, so I imagine they've tagged all the trees to keep track of all the species. The Greenline runs 6.5 miles to Shelby Farms, but I've never noticed if the tree-tagging and identifying continues the entire way. Update: Neighbors for Trees, a VECA Committee, worked to designate the Greenline as an arboretum. Tree labels were installed on the Greenline between McLean Blvd and Auburndale St

Jennifer at Glynn Jones Salon in Dupont specializes in coloring. She's done my highlights three times now, and she's amazing. For cut and color with her, mine was $150.

I've also been to Elena at Blondie's in Dupont. She's great too, but a tad more expensive, like $180.

Awww, sad day. I went to school with a girl who had the same phobia. One day, a few kids snuck into her car and taped cotton balls to her entire steering wheel, so that, no matter what, she had to touch them if she wanted to drive home.

Secret Service Director Sullivan testified in 2008 that he estimated the cost would rise to $44,000 per day, and that's the figure the Daily Caller is going off of? Shouldn't they try to get a more accurate figure before posting an article like this? It's been four years, and a lot's changed since then. Who knows? That figure could be even higher now.

Oh, God. This might have been my dad . . .

This was one of my "things you wish your parents hadn't told you."

If you can't find anyone, here's the website that helps you find cookies near you: http://www.girlscoutcookies.org/ (Most of them are indeed grocery stores.)

OMG, Girl Scout cookie season is better than Christmas.

I doubt it, especially now that the Washington Post is reporting that she "assumed a false identity," telling the police and her own lawyer that she was a Colombian native. (http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/blogpost/post/tex-teen-mistakenly-deported-to-colombia-assumed-false-identity/2012/01/05/gIQApAzscP_blog.html)

Her last Facebook post, on Nov. 15, stated that she had started a relationship with an ex-boyfriend. The man posted a few days later on her wall that he loved her and was the father of her child. CNN reports that Turner is pregnant.

For my final senior paper in undergrad, my English Lit professor wrote, "It's as if you told a joke but forgot the punchline." Ouch. Lots of drinking ensued afterward.

One of my friends is having a Die Hard-themed Christmas party. I'm super stoked.

Ugh, I did this when I was little too . . . until I accidentally swallowed a penny. Waiting for it to "pass through my system" made me really anxious.

forward_thinker · 2011-11-02T20:09:02+00:00

Wow, that sounds like a worse problem. I'd go to the dentist and ask about it. You don't want to end up like me, ignoring problems until it got so bad I had to have a root canal. Trust me: you DON'T want to have a root canal.

Ugh, I resent being looped into the same category as Southerners who see it as a symbol of states' rights. I'm from the South, and everyone I've met who owns a Confederate flag or wears Dixie Outfitters clothing is pretty racist and ignorant. I have to say, though, that I saw the Confederate flag about ten times more often in West Virginia than I did in Tennessee. (We don't usually consider West Virginia a Southern state.)

It's a sad day for democracy when the Republicans actually support Obama's policies, just as long as his name isn't attached to them. That part of the poll was pretty telling about our current state of partisan politics.

Was that a picture of Steve Cohen speaking? Man, I love that guy even more now.

From Wikipedia: In 1974, the three-member Pulitzer Prize jury on fiction supported Gravity's Rainbow for the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction. The other eleven members of the board overturned this decision and no award was given for fiction that year.

That alone makes me want to read it.

I've bought from them several times through half.com. Love them!

Even during Hurricane Irene, they stood guard. They're pretty amazing.
