Movies
Since it’s raining, it may be the perfect night to see a movie. I recently saw Beowulf and No County for Old Men. Both are violent. I made an exceedingly poor choice and did not see Beowulf in 3D which is presumably better. I found the movie somewhat boring and I would have preferred to just see a live action movie as opposed to the animation (while I’m sure it was very technologically impressive). No Country for Old Men was great. Violent without being gratuitously so. Javier Bardem- excellent.
The night I saw Beowulf, I had dinner at Sushi-go-Round. The sushi was reasonable, the seaweed salad was not tasty. I like the small portions on the conveyor belt because you can try new things in smaller quantities. Sushi-go-Round is also a good option for someone catching a movie because you can start eating as soon as you get there- no need to wait for a server!

The Argonaut
I’ve got tickets to Clap Your Hands Say Yeah (woot!) tonight. Since it’s Monday, a good place to get happy hour on H St. NE is The Argonaut where there are ½ burgers, $2.50 Bud Light Drafts, $3.50 Heineken Drafts, $3.50 Rail Drinks, and $1 off Specialty Drinks until 7pm. As with other H St. places, make sure you give yourself enough time. The kitchen at the Argonaut is pretty slow. But the sweet potato fries sure are tasty!
