Snowwwwwowwwwowwoooowwwooow

Last Night:

Met up with Mablerrrssss!!! we went to this thai place (http://www.yelp.com/biz/thai-chef-sushi-bar-restuarant-washington - u can read my review there!) it was quite the tasty. Afterwards we went to her place, met up with some of her friends who were all really nice and hit up the bars.

We went to this place called tom tom on 18th street in Adams Morgan which is the closest thing to a party street i've ever been on since La Rambla in Barcelona. The bar we went to, Tom Tom, was chill. They play more east coast bad boys stuff here. On an interesting note they also played tell me when to go by E40 and quite a bit of reggaeton. YOU NEVER ESCAPE REGGAETON

The guy in the bathroom who hands you the towels and stuff was from Togo in West Africa. Since my bladder isn't that big I had to use the bathroom like 5 times so i really got to talk to him quite a bit. Nice guy, you could tell he missed home a lot.

Afterwards we hit up Amsterdam Fallafel (http://www.yelp.com/biz/amsterdam-falafelshop-washington - read my yelp review there for the deal on it) and had fallafels and fries. Like amsterdam you can have mayo on your fries there. It's not bad, i'm not sure if their "dutch mayo" was really different but i told myself it was to feel less grossed out by the idea of mayo and fries. They also have this thign here called jumbo slice where the slice of pizza is so big it comes on two paper plates. The crust side of the slice was atleast a foot long. Madness. I'm totally going there next time.

The metro here is fucking awesome. Mabalays friend Yuan dropped me off at the station at like 2:45 and i still caught a train home. Thats wassup.

Today:

Epic Madness because it snowed. My delicate bay/la/santacruz life has illprepared me for snow. I've decided I like it more than rain though because you don't get nearly as wet. You still get wet but the clumps are bigger and less numerous than raindrops so i feel like less of them hit you. It's also a lot cooler looking. Like against a street light it's straight picturesque.

Apt hunting has been pretty tiring. One place in van ness was nice, 900 and sorta sterile and unfurnished. the neighborhood seems really safe and boring. I also checked out a place I really liked in Shaw, the folks were all around my age and stuff and I really would have wanted to move in there but they gave it to someone else. FIE. anyways it was awkward because me and one of the other prospective tenants showed up at the same time. There was def some tension and awkwardness because we both wanted the place but you got to do as Sjax says and make love to pressure. Apparently i didn't make love to it well enough cause i didn't get the place. Teh Lolz.

One of the other places near union station was cool. Big ass house but it was def a guy house. sorta run down and dirty. woooo. the neighborhood looks too empty also/there isn't a grocery store near by. Finally the last place i went to was west of columbia heights. the guy there was really nice and gave me a good breakdown of the diff neighborhoods. Him and his gf, a taiwanese woman with two cute kids would be in the basement. The kids tho stay at their dads place cause apparently you don't wanna be in the DC public schools. It's a nice house but I would feel sorta weird coming home trashed. Anyways I'm about to go check out another place, hopefully this is the one cause i don't really have anywhere to sleep tomorrow as of right now...

woooooooo

in an amusing note, i bought a compass from target because whenever i walk out of a metro i'm really confused.
