That Watergate Safeway is something else. And if you're near it, that pretty much means you're not near any other options.

Yep. There's now a Trader Joe's at 25th and L, but no regular grocery store that's not crap. At least farmers market season has started again -- there's a market next to the Foggy Bottom metro on Wednesday afternoons.

ION, snorting baking soda is not a good idea. (I was trying to deodorize a funky-smelling pillow. I tried the baking soda method -- sprinkle baking soda over the surface of the pillow, wait a few minutes, dustbust the baking soda off, smell gone. I got through the first several steps with no problem, but then when I tried to sniff the pillow to see if the smell was gone -- it was gone! -- I ended up at a patch of baking soda that I'd missed with the dustbuster. That stuff is gritty.)

~ma to your FIL, Scrappy.

Heard from the DH. FiL is better. Yay! They think it was a reaction to BP and asthma medication and they are releasing him. They are turning around to go home and so no Passover dinner. We have friends (including Alibelle!) who are shooting a student film in our house tonight, so we are probably going to duck out and see a movie.

Yay, Scrappy! I'm glad he is ok.

I'm so glad for the FiL news, Scrappy!

That's great, Scrappy.

Good news, Scrappy! It must be such a relief to you all.

Yay Scrappy for good news!

I am so sore and exhausted. But I'm going out for Greek food, and I might even get to see Forgetting Sarah Marshall. Also, it will be very interesting to watch the T&F part of the Olympics this year.

Want. BBCAmerica. Now!

In the first episode of the new season, we meet the Sheriff's long-legged and dominatrix-influenced sister (she's the dame with the snakes), who has bodyguards who stole their look from the Third Reich by way of Tom of Finland. Clearly, they are up to no good.

Ow. Sneezing hurts. Baking soda feels like sand in my sinuses.
