"We can see this shit on TV, bitches!"
Yes, that was Grace's quote last night as her, TrannieLuver, and I made our premature departure from yet another of DC's vast free events.
To explain, Grey Goose Entertainment and Sundance Channel were having an "advance screening of the premiere episode of the Sundance Channel original series, ICONOCLASTS," this one staring actor Samuel L. Jackson with basketball legend Bill Russell.
It was at the beautiful City Museum of DC, which sadly was recently closed to all but private functions such as this. The plan was supposed to be: 7:00 pm Cocktails and hors d'oeuvres, 8:00-9:00 pm ICONOCLASTS screening.
The problem began when the Grey Goose drinks came with mostly Grey Goose and not much liquior, and was compounded by the utter absence of hors d'ouvres, especially in relation to Grey Goose. By 8:00 pm, we were simply not in a state capable of enjoying in a respectable manner.
So we fled, and worshiped the iconoclast that is Wentworth Miller's character on Prison Break instead.

Fortune?
WTF?!
Perhaps I need to go back to my moonlighting job as human test subject. Malaria and Ecoli paid nicely. I wonder what else the world of parasites have to offer...

Success!!!
What WORLD is this? In what world do we continue to see a Democrat as governor of VA, while we have a Republican heading up MD!? Please, let this be just a sign of shifting times, which would elate me. If not, then god as my witness I'll cut ties to MoCo and move to Clarendon.
