and I found that around here...

In This City

Just a thought ...

DIY

Recently I have been on a DIY kick and it started with a couple of posts I saw on a few blogs that I follow. It intrigued me and I do like to be crafty every now and then!!!
These are the 3 crafts that I am going to tackle this weekend.

Wish me luck! haha

New Album??!!!!

So a couple of weeks ago I saw a posting on Phoenix's FB page about hitting the studio to start on their next album! As you can imagine I was completely and uncandesently elated about this!!

If you click the link you can see the rest of the pics on HEIDI SLIMANE ROCK DIARY.

Summer Dreamin'

With the District's gloomy weather today, I caught myself wondering what the weather is like where my little sis is, the Oregon coast.
I imagined it looked something like this...

Ok.. I may have also been thinking about Hawai'i, Bali, Thailand...  the South Pacific-- Really anywhere that isn't DC with its HOT, humid and rainy weather.

Casual- no-frills

So one thing that I really like doing from time to time (sometimes more frequent than that) is going down to my neighborhood bar and grabbing a brewsky and relax with mes amis! Unfortunently the area of DC I live in is pretty darn residential and seriously lack local bars. Which is why I venture into the diverse quarters of DC to find my neighborhood favorites.
I'm working up a decent list. The newest addition was introduced to me this past weekend, American Ice Co. in the U street area

I really like this place! It has a casual no-frills environment which I really like! Great beer selection (a little on the pricey side) and a decent sized patio which was terrific! Totally recommend this place if your looking for a "hipster-chic" bar haha... I saw that in a review I read about the place.
