(Triumphant?) Return

What could possibly explain a more-than-two-month absence from blogging? Simple, really:

1. Dabbling in neo-Luddism.
2. Someone smashed all my fingers with a hammer and I’ve been re-learning to type using my tongue and nose.

I’ll let you decide which one of these is true (hint: it’s none of them.) Obviously I have a whole summerful of stories to tell you, concerts I saw wherein there were pretty girls in attendence (or even, in some cases, dogs and babies!), summer movies (did you realize there’s a NEW BATMAN movie? I wonder how it is!?) - but for my return to the internet, I want to give you guys a little something extra. A little something called visual pizazz. PHOTO AFTER THE FOLD.

Dinner took like an hour, and jesus fucking christ, we ordered a single order of spring rolls and pho, pho, pho. It’s soup, people. Spoon it out and bring it to us. Sheesh.

De Novo Favorite Band?

I mean, ok, that’s some hyperbole, but goddamned if tonight wasn’t a highly satisfying show. Be Your Own Pet made me suspect there may be more to Nashville than I’d thought, but De Novo Dahl confirmed the hell out of that suspicion tonight at the RnRH.

Magical mystery tour

It’s a blustery wintry nightmare outdoors in DC right now, and it affords me the opportunity to delight you all with further TALES OF THE METROBUS! The stats don’t lie people - you love transit-blogging. Probably because you’re largely Rusty’s readers.

So obviously (more…)
