Tonight colin and i are going to DD and BR’s place to have our second ninja night. actually it’s not really ninja night… but DD, Colin and I are really into martial arts films so we decided over a year ago to get together once in a while to watch them. we’ve done that once and it was a really long time ago. DD banished Barb for the night.

We’re either going to watch Old Boy (doesn’t really fit the bill but is kick-ass/violent enough to squeeze in), Red Belt or The Protector. And we are ordering sushi as we need to eat something asian.

Hopefully I will get to see Barb! I haven’t seen her since her last day as my boss here on 9 January and I am having withdrawals.

i went to DC with justin for obama’s inauguration ceremony and it was crazy! an amazing experience to be part of such a monumental event. i went with democrats abroad. there were 3 buses. we left at 8pm on monday night and arrived in DC at around 8:30am.

the day was insane - so many people. we were in the mall almost as far back as we could get - right by the washington memorial. it was an unforgettable experience. it was also very, very cold. we were outside for about 5 or 6 hours, and ended up watching the parade from a warm and cozy cafe. we were watching just as they got out and walked, so it was good timing!

on the way back, we ran out of gas. ridiculous! it took about 15 hours to get home. apparently the driver was fired.

and here is the video I took:
