Anyone out there from D.C. Metro know of any good bars near Embassy Row? Barring hedonistic indulgence in drunken debauchery, I'll pick up a new O'Reilly book and review it while I'm gone. We haven't had one of those in awhile.

Man it's wet here. Been raining now for two straight days. Fortunately the Brickskellar is close to the hotel and I can warm myself with enough mussels to choke a whale and enough beer to float one. No decent internet access from the hotel though, I have to rely on getting to class early to post updates. I should have a book review of "Managing IMAP" by Diana and Kevin Mullet , just released by O'Reilly's , ready in a couple of days. Of course, if the weather breaks, I plan on doing the good citizen thing and seeing all of the landmarks. Or at least losing myself in the National Galleries for awhile.
ciao
p.s. I don't know which will make me crazier, being soaking wet all the time, or having to listen to Mainframe admins think out loud all day.

Also, if you like alcohol, try some "Tej" when you go to meskerem, it's ethiopean honey wine and quite good i might add (very sweet).
Enjoy!

Another good place is Sushi Taro. If you don't like Sushi they have other Japanese dishes there. As for alcohol, get the Saki (sp?) and Kirin.

OTH, yes, nice to go to a sushi bar and complain if the fish is not cooked to your taste. At least you can have some fun.

famine jokes are not funny! I really have
lost count at how many famine jokes I've heard
but really, we have better things to make fun of,
have you ever talked to people on irc? IRC
people and communists are pretty good targets
when being just plain rude :]
I am not a hippie, actually you can make fun of
them too, because they aren't about to die
Just think about what you say next time, some people
actually die because of famine, give it some thought,
at least enough to come up with more than
the standard response "blah blah blah FAMINE" in
response to anything aboot ethiopia

Ditto. Not to dump on the one guy, but I wouldn't want to sound like I saw When Harry Met Sally one too many times. =)

Dupont Circle area, on 22nd St between P and Q (1523 22'nd street, 202-686-5990)
They've got about 200+ different beers, so go experiment.

I'm not sure how the place compares to other specialized bookstores in other cities, but having been in Chicago and having friends in both Chicago and Boston check out this particular store, they think it's pretty cool.
It's a good place to swing by if you happen to be visiting around Georgetown/Foggy Bottom.
