Or, how my saturday went. <\/p>\n

I got up from my cheaper hotel with free wired internet (yay) if on a short cable (boo), and got a call from while WoWing. Checked out, dropped my bags off at HQ, hung out with and , as well as a married couple that have long been friends of theirs. After over an hour chatting in the cafeteria at union station, we proceeded to the Rousseau (Henri, no Jean-Jacques) exhibit at the national gallery. Afterwards, we perused the bookstore for a bit, chatting all the while. I kept coming back to the green architecture books. Hmmm, a clue for things to look into later. <\/p>\n

But we were all pretty exhausted from the museuming (I’ll never understand why that is so tiring), so we got on metro, splitting off to go our own ways. I got on a red line train heading to Glenmont. Looking for an available seat, I notice a woman playing a color rogue-a-like on a mac. In need of geek love, I sat down next to her and struck up a conversation. We talked about games, and programming, and OS choices. I wasn’t sure if she thought I was hitting on her, so shortly before her stop I worked in one of my standard “oh hi, I’m gay” tidbits (namely the oddness of finding a navy sub-sub-contracting job while volunteering for the bfc’s Gay Men’s health collective.) But it was a fun and comfortable conversation. She wasn’t cmu, but we had common cultural roots nonetheless. Very welcome after spending all week in the company of tv-watching sports fans. Not that those are inherently bad people, but <\/p>\n

This was followed by a fun evening with and . With snarky observations about the government and working for such, lounging about, tasty indian food, walking Lucy, and a game of Tongiaki. For all my anxiety about how the weekend would go, I had a good, mellow time. Yay.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
