Day 26: Quote.

26 Jan

It’s not quite 9 p.m. yet and I’m already lying in bed, ready to go to sleep.

So, one quote before I go (bonus points if you get that reference):

I guess if true love was easy, we’d all have it.

From my new favorite show, Once Upon A Time, because I’m sappy when I’m sleepy.

Day 25: Tired.

25 Jan

I am not a morning person. Once, I was supposed to meet up with someone for coffee. He suggested 8 a.m. I asked him if he knew who I was.

He then suggested 10 a.m.

So imagine how tough this week has been.

Day 24: Experience.

24 Jan

Today is a two post kind of day, since the last week and a half has been full of no posts kind of days.

A year ago (or so), I was up at the Capitol, helping cover State of the Union. I sat in the Senate press gallery with another RCer then went down to Statuary Hall to catch Members for reactions post speech. The big talk was bipartisan seating and the Members were wearing ribbons in honor of Gabby Giffords.

Day whatever: Yuppie.

24 Jan

So I completely failed at blogging in the last week. I admit it.

But in my defense, it was a busy week. I left my job at Roll Call, started a new one at Greenwire, went to the goodbye party of a friend who was moving back to Germany, went to another party that was 1920s-themed, volunteered at the Museum of Unnatural History for the first time, yelled angrily about modern art, etc.

But the recaps are for later. Or Twitter.

Right now, I only have short story to share.

Day 15: Karaoke

15 Jan

At karaoke for Charita’s birthday. No time to blog. Happy Sunday/three-day weekend!

Day 14: Cab rides.

14 Jan

Last night, I ventured out with roommate Kaitie to see a friend of a friend’s band play at the Velvet Lounge on U Street. I thought the downstairs bar vibe was more my thing than the live music upstairs.

But then, a few hours later, I grabbed a cab home.

Day 13: Late nights.

13 Jan

I just spent the last eleven hours in the office. And it was only in the last two hours that I really focused on crafting this story that will run sometime next week.

Day 12: The IT.

12 Jan

I have spent many a happy hour at the Irish Times. And, more specifically, in the IT’s backroom.

Day 11: Interviews.

11 Jan

Today, I interviewed a congressman over the phone while standing under the H Street bridge in the rain and hoping no one would steal my purse. That is the best way to sum up my day.

Day 10: Chorale.

In high school, I was constantly busy with something. The school paper, trips around the country, student council and choir.
