A beautiful tribute to your city! Makes me wish I lived in or near a real one, as opposed to the fake metro (fauxtro?) that is DC.

When you say you "slipped and slid" all the way to work, I picture you slipping once, falling down and sliding down the sidewalk all the way to work. Grinning.

Ooh, when I hear Colorblind, I just think back to that scene in the movie and picture Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillipe making a baby together. Then I brutally kill myself.

I'm kinda against the Walk Left Stand Right thing on escalators. If you wanted to walk, you could have taken the stairs (that are usually somewhere near the escalators). I shouldn't have to move to accommodate any walker on the escalator. I'm on the escalator because it's been a long day and I want to start relaxing even before I get home. I want to enjoy the slow and steady rise back up to the street level.

'Colorblind' tis a great song. But I am also reminded of 'Cruel Intentions' (but that's ok, that movie is a guilty pleasure of mine...it also makes me think of Placebo. Also, a progressive metal band that I like, Between The Buried And Me, do a really good cover of 'Colorblind'...look it up!

DC Metro stations don't have stairs, just escalators and elevators. Without the Walk Left Stand Right thing, so many more people would get cut the fuck up by hurrying commuters every day.

then that must be the DC Metro's one flaw. The one time I got to ride the Metro years ago, I actually felt a wave of vertigo come over me at one of the stations cuz the escalator was so long and in this rounded tunnel, it was bizarre!

What's awesome is going slow down the subway stairs, side-by-side when a train is coming.

And the best place to check your blackberry is at the top of those stairs.

These are just some of the reasons for which I always carry my MetroKnife in the lapel of my Brooks Brothers suit.

One day, when the timing is just so, I really want to vault over someone, just to make a point.

I was gonna baste all subway stairs in grease and sabotage all 3G reception in the city, but yeah, I guess that'd work, too.

Hey! Sorry we didn't get to hang out more this weekend... I blame everyone in our group except for myself. And Taylor. :)

I think we're planning another trip up in April... we'll be in touch I'm sure.
