A daily dose of fashion, décor, snacks and life from our Nation’s Capital

What is the Temporium pop-up craft fair you ask? Good question. Pop-up retailers are basically temporary stores. They rent out a space for a finite amount of time to sell food, clothes… basically anything really. Temporium is starting this Friday, February 18, 2011 at 3068 Mt. Pleasant St. NW and will be open for 24 [...]

Not the best week for DC and nature. Actually, not really a good time for nature in general. As you know, things have been dying in great quantities basically everywhere: This is never a good sign in movies. Some of these phenomena have been explained, while others remain a mystery. However, our nature ravaging in [...]

My humble alma mater, George Mason University, has been riding some pretty good publicity lately. They were officially ruled no longer a commuter school(thank God for that), have Virginia’s first LEED Gold hotel (yay?), can count on Bill Murray’s fandom and have a basketball team that very likely will be ranked in the top 25 [...]

So, I am sort of obsessed with how little airline employees are paid. Mostly because they control my life in 5 hour installments at least 4 times a year, and I would prefer they were paid more than, I don’t know, this person: In fact, according to the Wall Street Journal, the average U.S. Airways [...]

As we all know, my Steelers lost last night. It was a night of drinking, turnovers, drives, injuries, hopes, terrible halftime shows, turnovers, and incompletions that ultimately left SPY alone, snacking on Doritos crumbs with a terrible towel as a napkin. For Steelers fans in the district, there is not much to do today but [...]

So as you all know, I SPY did not have a post yesterday. Normally the culprit of such omissions is either my laziness or complete lack of time management skills (i.e. this 5pm post), but not yesterday. Oh no, yesterday was the result of a great DEBATE between Ironcityspy and DCspy over the merits of [...]

So I had a job interview today in addition to about 987562 other things, which is why I SPY was sidelined. My apologies. Blogging just doesn’t pay the bills. Anyways, I had to talk about my passion for innovation and technology or some other stupid interview topic, which got me thinking of inventions, which led [...]

Look. I know starting out with libraries may not seem like the coolest way to begin this 30 days of DC , but in the spirit of this series, we all need to EMBRACE our inherent DC nerdiness. We were voted the most literate city in America. We work in politics, literature, and issue-based advocacy. [...]

The Giffords tragedy has hit our little capital town hard. Honestly, it has hit me hard. She was one of our own, a congresswoman fighting for the issues she believes in, shot by an effing paranoid crazy with a penchant for the gold standard and making myspace videos about how the government brainwashed people through grammar. [...]

Hristos se rodi everyone! Spy and I are taking the day off to celebrate Orthodox Christmas, and will be back in full next week. Orthodox Christmas is a lot like regular Christmas, only instead of presents, great food and general merriment we are stuck with Church services presided over by black-hooded figures that look like [...]
