After a few short months in Alexandria, VA and a couple of more with some great girls in Georgetown, I moved to Capitol Hill where I've resided in my one bedroom apartment ever since. Yep, my 3-legged dog, Tripp, and I are quite cozy in this place we call home, with its exposed brick, hardwood flooring, brand new appliances and a working fireplace. The only catch is it's in a BASEMENT (hence the blog name). But it's actually quite quaint and has plenty of windows for the sun to shine through. To top it all off, it's in a great location. If I could pick anywhere to live in DC, I'd be right back where I am today on Capitol Hill (maybe on a nicer couch, but still). Just 8 blocks from the Capitol Building and 1.5 blocks away from some great friends, I sometimes find myself thinking how surreal it is that I ended up here. Furthermore, the rent - although ridiculous for standards outside of the DC metro area - is actually pretty reasonable. But now I'm just babbling (hey! there's that blog name again!), so let's chat about what I plan to share with you.
I don't really have an agenda, but over the years there have been some awesome things/places that I've stumbled upon in DC that just really excited me and made me want to share. So, I intend to tell you about a bit of those as they occur and inbetween I'll tell you more about me, my hometown, my friends and family. I won't talk about work, because who wants to do that?, but I will say that I may be leaving this fine city sometime next Spring due to work, so in the meantime I'd like to share with you past memories and the new ones I'll make as I go through my DC Bucket List before leaving. Here and there, I'll also give you some DC tips and fun facts (not so much historical) if any of you plan on visiting our Nation's Capital in the future. The bottom line up front though is the blog will be random; babblings from my basement. I hope you enjoy.
