Like always, I woke up at 6:30 to get ready for work. While ironing my clothes, the doorbell rang. A neighbor informed me that someone smashed into my wife’s car around 6:00 in the morning. It looked as if the dude was driving for the opposite direction and somehow slammed into my wife’s car, which parked right in front of our house. The guy left the scene and his car as well. He did leave his insurance information on my windshield. That’s my birthday present.
A heartfelt photo series of a bride who died five days after her wedding. Cancer stole her life.
Eminem’s cover for Relapse, his new album, has been revealed. His face is made up of various pills with a prescription label reads “Prescribed by Dr. Dre.” It’s quite a clever concept.

Our furniture from Marlo was delivered today. We kept the sectional sofa and sent back the dining table and chairs. The tabletop had a thumb-size chip and five out of the six chairs aren’t leveled. The two delivery guys (African-Americans) weren’t too happy about the return, but I couldn’t except damaged merchandise.
I still liked the dining set and was going to reschedule for another delivery, but the guys had done a great job losing the sale. I understand the heavy lifting all, but their attitudes turned me off. They had the audacity to blame it on my hardwood floor for the unevenness of the chairs. How could my floor uneven when one of the chairs didn’t rock? I can even see with my naked eyes that some of the legs are shorter than the other and none of our own chairs were rocking.
We paid a hundred and thirty dollars for the delivery charges and they acted like they were doing us a favor. Their grumpy attitudes not only lost my interest in their products, but also the tips I intended to give them. We’ll look for another table elsewhere.
“Autumn Leaves” is somewhat sloppy, but they nailed the speedy “Mr. PC.” Check out two tunes from this week’s session.
Graduated from the competitive Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology in Fairfax County and held a double major in sociology and women’s studies at the College of William and Mary, Thao Nguyen became a musician and released two albums. “She’s a ‘Brave’ Girl” indeed.
Thao Nguyen and her band, the Get Down Stay Down, will perform tonight at the Black Cat (1811 14th St. NW).
