Random Bits

There's a barbershop quartet/motown/a capella thing going on in front of Metrocenter on 13th.  Really random, but also kind of annoying since I AM trying to work here.  Ok, I'm clearly not working.

It doesn't just happen to you, Ladies.  I was in line for the bathroom the other night and some drunk dude just kept staring at me.  When I didn't turn to meet his stare, he started talking to me - something about people in the back of the line and how they were jealous.  I just gave him my "yeah that's nice, Crazy" nod and went back to studying my beer bottle.  I could tell out of the corner of my eye he was still staring at me.  I wasn't picking up a gay vibe or anything - I think he was just was of those drunk people who wants to be BFF with randoms in the bathroom line.  Really weird.

Tono Sushi in Woodley Park is pretty good.  Unlike many sushi places, they have a full menu of Asian food, including Japanese, Chinese, Viet Namese, and Thai.  This is good, because I don't like sushi.  I had a hankering for hot and sour soup and General Tso's Chicken, which I got (though a decidedly Japanese version of it), and which you can't get at a typical sushi place.  By contrast, City Lights is a chinese restaurant that serves sushi.  And then there's Raku, which is kind of identity-less.  So DC is pretty good for people who take an "I don't know, you people all look alike to me" approach to Asian food.  Possibly because we have so many tourists (red staters, I'm looking in your direction).  Anyway, check out Tono - it's ichiban.

Did you know that firetrucks can eat six times their own weight?  Thank you Peter Griffin.

UPDATE: Another random bit - I actually had to ban a web crawler (from Japan) because it was hitting the site too much and eating up my bandwidth. Just started this weekend - anyone else notice this?
