Very, very strange coincidence. I don't remember how we got on the topic, but yesterday Krishni and I were discussing Paul McCartney, and how we wished he would tour again. Then this morning, I turned on VH1 and there was a headline saying that, in fact, he was set to tour this spring. I'm pumped. He's only stated so far that he'll perform in New York, but he better come to D.C. Because that would rock beyond all comprehension. Here's a story on it.
So tonight I'm going to see a play with this group that Brent pointed my attention do: dcplay. I'm looking forward to it, but am also a bit nervous. It should be interesting, even if it is causing me to miss the conclusion of Rose Red.
When I woke up this morning, the radio was playing a commercial for some company that apparently makes houses, and is called Washington Homes. They have an actor playing George Washington and he's like, "Blah blah buy my houses blah blah." Two things about this commercial really annoyed me. First, in the background, they were playing "Battle Cry of Freedom," which is a song from the Civil War. Which was, you know, 60 years after Washington died. And they ended the commercial with "Washington" saying, "So stop visiting my house and buy a Washington home" or something to that effect. I'm like, "No! Don't tell people to stop going to Mount Vernon!" I'm hoping that the people who run Mount Vernon sue this company. Just because. Plus, now I have that song in my head.
We're having an all-staff party next month and the theme is "Presidents." And apparently they're going to have a quiz on presidential trivia. The prize is tickets to a show at Ford's Theatre. I'm pumped. I'm so going to kick that quiz's ass. Those tickets are mine.
Current song in my head:
"Battle Cry of Freedom"
