July 2- upgrade! and last day

2009.07.02
I forgot to post the big news ;-). On Monday I upgraded to iPhone. I got the "cheapie" $99 3G one. So far I am lovin' it!

July 2 was our last day on the Reese Witherspoon movie. When we were done restoring the last location, we stopped at Tryst (a hip coffee place) in Adams Morgan for a cafe cubano. They serve it with animal crackers. :-)

We would pass these weird bunker things on our way coming and going from the warehouse to Adams Morgan. None of us could figure out what they were... maybe Liiisa knows??

Catholic University's cathedral. To me it looked almost mosque-like. (??)

One of the dressers, Parker, who I've known almost 20 years (!!), showing off his exemplary hair- both top o the head and facial-wise.
;-) (He also does some acting as well.) Incredibly nice fella, he is.

Waiting in the empty set dressing office for last week's paychecks to arrive. (annotated).
Time to start looking for more employment- that said, I am in a much better place, both financially*, and emotionally than I was two months ago, so I think this time, I will actually take the time to enjoy myself a bit, after all it's summer! Past summers, I had been so swamped with work and work travel, that I barely got to enjoy it much of the time, so I might as well take advantage.
First off, am thinking BOLT bus to NYC week after next....

* (Okay, so I still need to be frugal and stretch the funds, and the car needs repair, but close to a whole month's work at DC wages was a nice shot in the bank account I didn't have before)

Oweena Glad this has all been a shot in the arm for you MizB.
Now go play for part of your summer, the rest of us can live vicariously through you.

allisonf Hmm. $99 iPhones? I'm impressed! They're extortionate over here.

Stav1 That's a cute idea, the animal crackers!
Now you can go relax and spend your summer sending people emails w/ that annoying "sent from my iphone" line at the end;-)

lolasf It's great to hear you're doing well. And the cathedral does look very much like a mosque.

JenPat I love the cathedral, and I'm very pleased you're going to take some time for yourself while it's summer.

Liiisa Yes, I know - that's the remnants of an old sand filtration plant at McMillan Reservoir (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McMillan_Reservoir). I love that place, I would love to get in there & take pictures.

thisismizb Liiis- thanks for the info- very interesting. We were all saying how we'd like to get in there to take pictures as well.
