for some reason, this is posting rotated, so I'll just leave it that way.
This weekend, the Golden family descended upon DC to garbage up Ali's apartment. As you can see, she made a new friend.
Actually, we all made a new friend, as Nancy Pelosi actually said "good morning" to us, which she then amended, saying, "oh, it's afternoon already!"
celebrities are just like us! they forget when it's afternoon!
anyway, aside from that piece of awesome, seeing the house floor, going to the spy museum (which was pretty sweet), and wandering around DC, we went to Annapolis and toured the naval academy. I'm sure you don't know this, but the naval academy looks just like a cleaner, quieter, Paris. weird, huh? as an example, I give you the largest dorm building in the country (it houses 4,800 students).
the take-home highlight of the weekend was obviously our run-in with madame speaker, and getting to stand on the house floor (and sit in one of their [quite comfortable] chairs). aside from getting to spend the quality time with the family, obviously.
oh, i also broke obediah's brain with a new laser pen toy. Ali, is he still staring at the wall, waiting for the laser to come back?
Mattie doesn't really like hers as much - keeps looking at my hand and meowing for a petting. maybe some day she'll tire of human contact in insist on chasing the laser around the room. some day.
Aside from that, I'm sitting in my apartment studying for midterms. so if someone would like to come by and give me chocolate, that'd be cool too.
