#93 - Look for a Job in YOUR FIELD!
A few weeks ago, I received an email from a friend of a friend at the Jewish Federation of Greater Washington – and now I have a new job! Isn’t it fabulous how the world works?
#85 - See a movie at the Arlington Drafthouse
The Arlington Drafthouse Theater is a combination movie theater and restaurant. While you enjoy your movie, you can also order drinks and dinner. There’s a similar place in Raleigh, but the price is right at the Arlington Drafthouse – Monday night movies are only $1! My friend SL and I saw Pirates of the Caribbean 4 at the Drafthouse. I’ll be honest – I love Johnny Depp, and I’m not such a big fan of Penelope Cruz. So the combination of the two might have equalized things…but perhaps I was being too optimistic. I love the character of Captain Jack Sparrow, and the storyline between the missionary and the mermaid was interesting, but the role of Blackbeard’s daughter played by Penelope Cruz was just pathetic. It is hard to believe her in the role of a woman corrupted by Jack Sparrow as she prepared to take her vows in a convent, and then desires a father figure so badly that she overlooks the atrocities perpetrated by the villainous Blackbeard. But for $1, it wasn’t such a bad trade – the special effects were superb, the music exciting, even if the story could not always hold my attention.
#67 - Visit AD in Williamsburg w/ MB (Aug. 19-21, 2011)
I may have been sick, but there was no way I was going to miss a mini-vacation weekend with two of my best friends! And I’m glad I went – MB and I toured Williamsburg with our old college roomie AD, went shopping at the outlet mall nearby, ate dinner by the river, and even spent Saturday night at a country bar in Newport News. And when I say country, I mean a loud country music hall complete with line dancing and a mechanical bull. And you know what? I stayed on that bull for 43 seconds. Not too bad for a girl with a serious cold.
