i always find out that dc is too small... at all the wrong times

as curlilocks once said, why not try anything once?

so on wednesday we both made our way to chi cha lounge for...
[insert drumroll here]



speed dating


we got there über-early so we could pound back a some liquid courage/wit before "mingling."

but i have to say that as a speed dating virgin i was rather pleasantly surprised by the experience. everyone was rather nice and good-looking (just a few exceptions). definitely made me think i would never meet these guys out at bars (or the bookstore orcoffee shopp as that workshop once recommended).

does this mean that i'll get a date before my birthday and end the drought?
probably not.

BUT i would totally recommend it to anyone who has ever even thought about it.


the only downside to the whole event is that i saw the michael bolton lookalike who used to work in my department. talk about dc being too fucking small!

i totally hated that guy.
and nothing he said that night improved him in my eyes.
