Disco Metro

Tonight's metro ride was a little trippy... the lights inside the car kept going completely off, and then suddenly fully back on with no real level of predictability. No *exactly* like a strobe light, but it was such a similar effect, I couldn't help thinking... what if I was on the Disco Metro?! Maybe some of you have had the glorious good fortune to ride in a disco cab but no such luck here. I thought for a minute maybe one of these would suddenly appear:

How cool would that have been?! And then we'd all start a big commuting dance party, kind of like this:

{unfortunately nobody was dressed like this on my metro today}

Unfortunately, it was just one more metro malfunction for the day... but it did inspire some disco tunes at dance party when I got home!

Spring Fever

So finally the sun came out today, and it's sparked a full-on Spring fever that cannot be stopped. Spring cleaning, planning for Spring break... anything Spring-related and it's on my list this week. Things that I hope are NOT on my list are more rain and bad fashion rain gear on the metro.

One of my favorite things about Spring/Easter time is the Washington Post's annual Peep Show. Someone told me about it before we moved here, and it instantly made me happy about the local news options. It is spectacular, I highly suggest blowing off any Spring productivity by checking out some of the past winners.

And, when @unsuckdcmetro posted their Peeps Preview for 2011 I really couldn't help but feel an extra bit of joy for this year's entries. Because if this one doesn't win, imagine how good the others will be!!

And, I also came across the ABA's version of a similar contest -- which isn't as elaborate, and the humor may only be funny to fellow law students/grads -- but peeps are pretty hilarious no matter what the context!

xoxo -- Peepy Springtime!
