Post- July-4th-Weekend Deep Thoughts
Things I learned this weekend:
- My eye makeup is truly waterproof. Good to know.
- I really do hate tourists.
- You can spend all day trying to do something but sometimes it's only the last 10 minutes that matter.
- Even flip-flops can give you blisters. (Flip-flops, incidentally, have a hyphen. It's one thing to ignore that fact; it's quite another to ignore that fact only half the times you use that word in one article.)
- Never, ever make assumptions. The soldier who seems illiterate while reading the Declarartion of Independence on the steps of the National Archives may have suffered a stroke.
- Sometimes, it's OK that you can't change things so long as you care enough to want to.
- Very rarely am I inclined to get myself a ladder and some white paint and vandalize a sign. A T-shirt shop in Georgetown called "Georgetown Tee's" so inspired me. (It should be Georgetown T's, but if you were inclined to spell T the wrong way, it would not get an apostrophe.)

Because if you do, you'll make an ass out of you and and an umption.
Lynne Truss would be pleased with your zealousness regarding the store in Georgetown.
Seriously, why do all 'native' DC residents hate tourists? (You're not even a native DC'er! Do you hate visitors to NYC, too?) Is it because they stand on the left side of the Metro escalator? Or because they wear fannie packs and walk too slowly on the sidewalk taking pictures of old buildings? Most of the DC'ers become tourists themselves for most of August, I can't imagine they - with their "Do You Know Who I Am?" - are much better in their respective destinations than the loathed tourists who flood DC this time of year.
See future post: "I love tourists, especially in NY."
But first I have to go to sleep...going to NY and coming back the same day wipes you out..
