one thing i love about our house is that the bathroom has a skylight in it! in the morning, it's always lit up when the rest of the house is dark. and on weekends i end up taking showers at approximately the same time the sun is right overhead, and the light streams down into the shower, making it seem...tropical...or beachlike...or something. or like you're going to get burned.
yesterday i got a library card. they give you a normal library card, and a little one to go on your keychain, just like at a grocery store! this innovation amazed me, although since then people have told me it's not that new. the library near our house is probably smaller than the one at my middle school, and kind of depressing, but i can use the card at all the other libraries too.
on the way home from the library, there was a big traffic jam at around 4th St, with people honking and sirens going. i saw a man lying down on the ground, with a big crowd of people around him, and a cop car, fire truck, and three ambulances arriving as i walked by. i couldn't see what had happened to him, but this guy started talking to me about how people are getting shot every day in this city, just yesterday someone was shot at the anacostia station, etc etc. i asked him, did that guy get shot? and he said he didn't know, but they're shooting each other every day in this city, just yesterday, and now today, etc etc. i don't know what happened though, i searched for it in washingtonpost.com's crime report section, and found nothing. so it probably wasn't anything. just scary.
also yesterday jacques, sam, and peter came over and we played settlers. which is a great, great game. i almost won. by which i mean sam won when i had 9 points. RC watched and was (hopefully!!!) convinced of the game's greatness and wants to learn to play and we can play all the time at 19 fountain next year. ok, probably not. hey! if you read this blog and you like settlers and you want RC to learn to play, please start a lobbying campaign or something! send emails!
now i'm going to make an omelette. see you later, blogspot.

I will resist! Or maybe not, but I'm certainly not convinced of the game's greatness yet. Or, to be perfectly honest, I'm not convinced that I would be good enough at it to make it worth my time. And I'm writing a thesis! I won't have have time for board games. (I love having an unquestioned excuse for anything I don't want to do this year.)
and to anyone besides beth who is reading this: if you want to experience the marvelous skylight bathroom, you should come visit us. weekends are boring. or we are boring. or something. but the skylight is very cool.

ben did you TRY sending an email to rcshouldplaysettlers@yahoo.com? because that way...you will find out!
oops, i did not mean to remove your post, ben
for the readers, it said:
haha, you kids are a riot.
wait, what happens if I actually send an email to rcshouldplaysettlers@yahoo.com?
Beth, maybe you could set up an action alert / automated email thing on Capwiz or whatever. That way, with just one click, people could send a lobbying email to RC.

Hah, we'll see if that works.
Well, RC, you *should* play settlers -- 'cause thesis or not, it's what the *cool kids* do.
