ok, now that i have reclaimed the computer (silly girl beat me over the head with the laptop and knocked me out - forget having to worry about a hangover after adams morgan debauchery when bec's around! hehehe):

- i fully admit that i embraced my touristy side - it was lots of fun! we did go up to random people and get photos of the two of us and whatnot, twas grand fun. and the shot glasses were wonderful! good times, good times ...

- of course becca was feeling it after two drinks - that's what happens when one of those drinks is a long island! ;-)

- i can't believe the guy at the brass monkey ... i leave for a couple of minutes and next thing i know, becca's being accosted by the thickest moron on the planet (thick as in moronic) ... she didn't mention the fact that this guy came over to our table and was talking to all of us for eons, or at least trying to, but just would not realize that there was no one at the table interested in talking to him ... so he finally goes away and i head over to the bar to get another trusty vodka cran, and next thing i know, the moron is BACK! dense moron ... i felt so bad!

- while i will comment more about the weekend, as well as the becca visit in general when i'm at work, i will say all parties involved are having a marvelous (to be read with an accent as "MAH-velous") time and are preparing to hit up arlington and iwo jima (another roommate gem came from her convo with becca this morning, when becca told her that we were going to arlington: r: "what are you guys up to today?" b: "we're heading out to arlington." r: "oh! i've got a friend in arlington! what are you doing out there?" b: "we're going to the cemetery." r: (pause) "oh, what's fun about that?" b explains what's in arlington. r: "oh ... i'm not really much of a history person.")
