quick notes for today:
Last night, checked out a Thai restaurant, 1Gen, in Ballston area
http://www.washingtonpost.com/ac2/wp-dyn?node=cityguide/profile&id=1124448&categories...
couldn't find a photo of the interior though.
Food was only average, but the decor was very pretty except for the tea
saucers shaped in a trillion design that reminded me entirely of the
special bleaching sponges that helped injure my hands together with the
poison ivy.
which still look and feel horrible
I did enjoy the lychee martini.

I do remember your previous mentioning of your DC trips.
In the meantime, go out and see Beyonce in Dream Girls which I saw
yesterday because I was without any other entertainment.
Wonderful wonderrful highly recommended. Beyonce often resembles Diana
Ross enough for the viewer to understand what the story is referring
to.
Eddie Murphy is heartbreakingly wonderful in the movie.
Very strange coincidence that James Brown has died about the same time
this movie came out. Although Murphy's character is a composite of
rhythm and blues stars of the past, he is at least in part James Brown.
But Jennifer Hudson
She is beautiful, has an incredible voice, and is a marvelous actor.
She stays in role while singing which is the mark of a real diva.
I think she is a real star.
It's not the movie, but this actress. I was amazed by her and she
steals the show from all the star power around her.
