For anyone who comes down to DC from the North...chances are you've probably seen this building from somewhere on the Beltway (Capital, not Baltimore). WHAT THE HELL IS IT?! It reminds me, oddly enough, of a Masonic temple even though the architecture and such is completely wrong...But really..if you actually know what it is, please tell me, it's starting to keep me up at night...
Well...ok...it doesn't do that, but rest assured it WOULD if I saw it more then 4 or 5 times a year...
Anyways...odd buildings aside...I'd just like to go ahead and put this out there...
I live in a beautiful, amazing city.
Last Friday Rick came to visit. It was great to see him and I miss him horribly already, but that's not the point of this entry. As Kat and I were wandering around Union, waiting for his train to get in, we walked down to the Capitol and I have to say...Seeing lights on, realizing that people actually work there and knowing that I really do live here...it just amazed me.
Even though today was probably not the best day to wear a skirt and flip flops...and even though my teeth are chattered as I skuttled to and from class today, I am content and very happy.

You're half-right about the Masonic-esque building - it is actually the Washington Mormon Temple (and Visitors Center). I known what you mean though; it drove my family and I crazy when we first came down to DC. Google says that its the biggest Mormon facility in the world, but doubles as an apparent Orwellian construct for people driving into the District... which in itself is only a touch ironic.
its a mormon church goofball. tim and i knew that already :-P
