I see that this apartment is actually in Lanier Heights
I have never heard of this neighborhood. I do not believe it exists. :)
Wild monkey love or tender Sarah McLachlan love?

"Bordered by Quarry Road, Columbia Road, and Adams Mill Road." (I'd never heard of it until a Washington Post neighborhood profile thing that I found while googling mentioned it as a subneighborhood of Adams Morgan.)
edit: Or, alternate story from a different article:
Adams-Morgan wasn't always such a multicultural magnet. If you rewind to the early 1950s, it was a predominantly white neighborhood of ritzy townhouses called Lanier Heights.
But the Brown vs. Board of Education ruling irrevocably altered the neighborhood's history. In 1955, two segregated elementary schools—white-attended Adams and black-attended Morgan—were peacefully integrated, making Washington the first major city to successfully integrate schools. As a symbol of hope, Lanier Heights was renamed Adams-Morgan.
Interesting.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Heh, sounds like Adams-Morgan, maybe edging on Mt. Pleasant.
And with that, I'm going to bed early. Stupid travelling. Stupid headache.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

ION Having moved through giddy and excited, past Murdoch hysteria and "maybe I should call my therapist" terror, and on into Hannibal "I love it when a plan comes together" satisfaction, I realize I do not have the fashion sense to attempt either Face or BA.

All is well that ends in pizza.
I'm reading Bitches on the sofa wrapped up in a warm cat AIFG!
you people with your laptop having selves. grrrr.
Technically, Andi has WebTV, and no computer...
Speaking of which, if anyone has a used web-schooling capable laptop for cheap (Preferrably a PowerPC Mac, but a PII+ PC will work), I'm starting to look for something for Andi's online classes.

Thank you, Hil. I thought maybe I was making it up, but in long shots he doesn't move like a geek. Closeups, a little better. But he reached across an open space tonight and it was such a free and open gesture it was completely at odds with the slightly--well, I want to say autistic, but it's probably just over-focused--character he's playing.

Any local thrift store should have enough costume jewelry to attempt BA.

Any local thrift store should have enough costume jewelry to attempt BA.True, but my "Oooh, shiny" instinct tends more toward pearls and garnets than chains.
