W-a-s-h-i-n-g-t-o-n, baby, D.C.!

I'm really excited about going to Washington D.C. this weekend for the Fourth of July. I've never had the chance to walk around the nation's capital, unless you count walking from the train station to the bus depot. - I don't! - and now I can see it illuminated by fireworks. I don't know if the city can live up to the cheerful ra-ra of the Magnetic Fields' song, which is named after the city and appears on their three-disc album about romance, 69 Love Songs.

That said, I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday and I'll start this up again when I get back. Be safe, everyone!
