So... wow. I want to move to DC. Seriously.

Surprisingly, all of my flights were decent and there were no delays in Detroit. I think this is the first time EVER that I didn't have any delays in Detroit. And best of all, Northwest didn't lose my luggage!

Got into DC around... 4ish and was picked up by the ever wonderful jateshi and got to see the box known as her car. Drove around to pick up stuff for dinner, then headed back to her place to crash.

Spent the majority of thursday driving around with Jate's mother and seeing a wonderful fabric store that made my mother weep. Thursday night was the National Symphony Orchestra. Oh. My. God. Erich Kunzel owns my soul. Completely and totally. Met up with wook77, janicechess and misterchess at the Kennedy Center and had dinner there at the KC Cafe -- which is done cafeteria style. I have to say it's hysterical to watch people wearing Dolce & Gabbana evening wear... and carrying trays around. Took us forever to find a seat too. But the concert was amazing. I was slightly disappointed in the concertmaster, but then again, I'm partial to violinist and Schindler's List too. Then the concert ends... and half the audience has gotten up when Erich announces there's one "Ditty" they didn't play. And launch into the Cantina song.

Friday was known as meet-up-day-o-doom wherein I made Jate drive all over the place to see people. Lunch was at this pretty Italian restaurant called Buon Appetitos with wook77 and chrome_animagus. The guys in the restaurant kept jokingly telling us to settle down. We were a bit rowdy though. *cough* Then that evening we went to Minerva which is this really awesome Indian eatery to have dinner with cruisedirector and apaulled. And went out for ice cream that NONE of us needed after that large of a meal.

Saturday was the touristy thing. Wandered around the Georgetown area which I have completely fallen in love with. It's like a little slice of London right here in the states. In other words, I need to get my ass into gear and start studying for the LSATs as I need that 170. *mutters* That evening, I got to meet the infamous Dinner Group. Blade Runner- The final cut was playing at one of the theatres so I got dragged to that. Movie wasn't bad and I did enjoy it. On the metro ride back to jate's I was told that they were keeping me.

And then Sunday was the trip home. So never expected it to take 40 minutes to get through security on a SUNDAY morning, but there you have it. Barely slept the night before as we wanted to watch The Reduced Shakespeare Company. Up at 6 am and by the time I got home, I kept falling asleep on the couch.

In other words... I had an absolute fucking blast in DC. And need to figure out how to a, go to school down there or b, when I can get back.

But I know when I'll be back again.

Gone to DC and will return Sunday sometime, assuming northwest doesn't fuck with me. Keep your fingers crossed on that one.

Sooooo excited and I can't wait to leave. Of course, I'm also packing right now as I ended up spending the entire weekend at the theatre. The ass't director of Frankenstein is also the stage manager and needed someone to take notes for Richard, so she asked me. OMG. I've never had more fun than the past four nights of taking notes. And also learned SO much. You want to learn about acting, take notes for a director during tech week. You'll be amazed what you learn.

Shall miss you all and I'll see you when I get back! Those who have the cell, feel free to text or call me! And those I'll be seeing... YEEE! See you soon!

Come on... I wanted the alliteration. *g*

In any case, things have been good. I can't tell if this sinus infection is still refusing to leave me or if it's just my damn allergies being a pain in my ass. But things are going good on the home front. No complaints to speak of, really. Seems strange to have my life back after Millie has ended. I still feel like I should be heading down to the theatre in about an hour for the sunday show. But in good news, I'm going to be playing Nine at the end of November down at Gannon. I am SO looking forward to that. It's one of the shows I really adore, mostly because of one song at the end of the first act.

What can I say -- I'm a sucker for those multi-voice songs?

Otherwise, spent the night at a casino on Thursday as mom's birthday was on Friday. Didn't win a ton, but I came out with more than I went in with, so I suppose that's a plus.

Am SO looking forward to going down to DC in... dear god, it's a little over a week!! I'm staying with jateshi for a few days and am going to pack as much into that time as possible. Including going to see THE most amazing concert on the face of the earth with wook77. We're seeing the National Symphony Orchestra conducted by Erich Kunzel playing the music of John Williams. Every bone in my pops loving body is GLEEFUL over this. Then also going to try and catch up with cruisedirector and chrome_animagus. It should be a blast. :-D

Still blocked on the fics though. *headdesk* I have one of my two fics for snape_after_dh written and the other, I'm a third of the way through. merry_smutmas continues to glare at me from across the room. Though I think I have an idea for it at last. I've been thinking about this assignment since I've GOTTEN it and am only now getting an idea. Stupid muse.

♥ So tell me, loverly flist. How was your week? ♥
