I tried to go outside today, swine or no swine. Happy Halloween, from the Dupont Hilton!

It might be the swine, but don't worry - I've got quite the stockpile of "get well soon" supplies. Tea, water, Chapstick, cough drops, Kleenex, Dayquil, Nyquil, "Law & Order: SVU." I make this look gooooood.

I SAW HANSON LIVE! God, it was the best thing ever. Seriously. It was a dance party. I am so happy, even retroactively. Zac Hanson, I still love you. I don't care if you're someone's father.

The first stop on the Great DC Brunch Tour! Ten of us made our way to Creme on U Street for (on my part) a delicious waffle, crispy breakfast potatoes & thick bacon. AMAZING.

I love when my friends become friends. Past coworker, meet current coworker. Hit it off. Enjoy!

It's a beautiful day in my neighborhood. Autumn cometh!

My friend Joanna scored me a discounted ticket to HRC's National Equality Dinner, where special guests included Gavin Creel, the cast of "Glee," Lady GaGa & President Obama! Swankiest night ever.

A little blurry but you get the picture. Stay class, Wonderland Ballroom.

I love this picture - I wish I'd taken it on my camera, instead of just on my phone. On the right side, what I meant to photograph, is a father showing a picture book to his young son in Kramerbooks in Dupont. What I didn't realize until later is that to the left, outside the book store, is a homeless man holding out a cup to passersby. He's there a lot - he's missing one of his hands.

Sukkot dinner with four of my faves (two not pictured, obviously), at the boys' swanky new apartment. Like real adults, we all had a cup of tea after the meal. Yeah, we're cute.

Things I sometimes eat that are sort of (read: absolutely) disgusting: Lender's bagels with melted American cheese slices. I used to call them "bagelwiches." Love.

A friend gave me a free ticket to a sneak peek of "A Serious Man," the uber-Jewish new flick from the Coen Brothers. It was one of the best movies I've seen in a loooong time - & the lead actor did a Q&A for us at the end!

Won free tickets to a Regina Spektor show. It was incredible... that is all.

My boss testified at the ENDA hearing before the House Ed & Labor Committee, & I had the honor of sitting in the front row. Amazing. Can't wait until this bill passes.

Headed home from a Walkmen show at the 9:30 Club with friends, I encountered this fun sign outside the Velvet Lounge.
