It’s almost Turkey Time, but that doesn’t mean DCist readers weren’t posting good stuff. The comment of the week goes to voteprime, who responded to the morning roundup article about intersex fish: Potomac River’s Father: D+? D+?! Why can’t you be more like you cousin, C&O Canal! Potomac River: But Dad, I thought you’d be proud of my intersex fish. Nothing I ever do is good enough for you! grumble grumble…stupid canal…grumble grumble…outdated mode of…

Good morning, Washington. Did you stay up late arguing the finer points of last night’s Democratic presidential debate at Howard University? Or were you just hoping to get a table at Busboys and Poets but unable to shove your way through the crowd? Shaw and the U Street corridor were overrun with Democratic political operatives last night … which really probably isn’t any different than any other night. But forget about the substance of the…

Chances are, if you live in or near the city and are not fantastically wealthy, you probably have roommates. Maybe you live with friends, maybe with some folks you randomly found on craigslist and barely talk to, but sharing your living space with other people is a fact of life for most people under 30 in D.C. And in this kind of heat, any sort of odd personal odors emanating from your roommates’ bedrooms might…

Memorial Day is this Monday, meaning a lot of Washingtonians have a three day weekend. With the extra day comes extra opportunity to take a day trip (or two) around the area. We polled our staffer for some good destinations in the area to share, so pump up the bike tires, get out the hiking boots or start the car (Zip, Flex, or your own). And if you have any other good suggestions, let us…

Single? Finally shaken off the pounding headache you’ve had all morning thanks to the vicious hangover you earned after drowning your sorrows last night with fellow lonely hearts? Consider checking out kizmeet.com, a new Web site devoted entirely to romantic “missed connections”, like the kind you already guiltily read on Craigslist and in the CityPaper. It’s free, anonymous, and specific categories allow you to hone in on the encounter you’re looking for. Whether you’re posting…

Let’s get a little abstraction up in here, shall we? Flickr user maxedaperture found these wavy fall colors reflected on the surface of the C & O Canal as they floated by. Find the EXIF data here….

Good morning, Washington — it’s Friday! Rejoice in all that start-of-the-weekend goodness. And note that on this date in 1969, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin became the first earthlings to walk on the moon. In their honor, go check out the Apollo to the Moon exhibit at the Air and Space Museum and see their spacesuits or touch a moon rock. Suitcase Forgotten, Results in Union Station Closure: WTOP notes that last night around 8…

Its iPod playlist stands up to what you might hear at H20 or Gate 54 downstairs at Café Saint-Ex. The WaPo characterized its music as “Latin and Afro-pop.” And although Nutella crepe filling and green tea tapioca jellies might cost extra, its dance party comes absolutely gratis. Almost a year into business, Georgetown’s Snap has gone from cute and discreet to a veritable LuLu’s reincarnation on the C&O Canal. Last month, the music got…

Good morning, Washington. Today will be partly cloudy in the morning and then clearing with highs in the 80s. This photo of the Potomac at sunset was posted to DCist photos by the flickr user “adrummer_boy” who also uploaded a couple others we liked – one of the C&O Canal at dawn and another Potomac sunset photo. If you’ve got a blog you can get your meetup on tonight at the monthly meetup.com event for…

Good morning Washington. With all the Supreme Court news this morning (no, Rehnquist hasn’t announced his retirement yet, but here’s Linda Greenhouse’s piece in the NYT about the Ten Commandments ruling and Carol D. Leonnig’s piece in the Post about what the next step is for Judith Miller and Matthew Cooper since the high court refused to intervene in their cases) we thought it fitting to feature Olivia Leigh’s photo of the Supreme Court she…
