the washington post travel section readers' photos contest results are up. i love this kind of stuff. i've never submitted an image, mostly because a) they're not up to snuff and b) they rarely feature people, and almost all of the post's winners always have people in them. anyway, if i were having my own personal best travel shots of catherine, i would select the following (and i picked a lot, not cause i think my photos are awesome, but because i got on a whole retarded hugely nostalgic photo browsing thing and had to pick every one:

I have never been more intoxicated in my life than I was in perugia. I actually got nauseous looking at your arch photo. In a beautiful/lovely kind of way, obvs.
I think your dress-alike girls are better than almost anything on the WaPo list. And the cops are up there too.
i loved the dress-alike girls. my friends and i stalked them for several blocks to try to get decent shots. weirdly, we saw like 4 pairs of people (presumably friends) who were dressing alike.
g., i hear ya on perugia. we stayed in this hostel where we happened to get our own private terrace, and 16 bottles of wine from the shop on the corner later, it hurt. a lot.
also, g., i had a haircut appointment with john today and HE TOTALLY DIDN'T SHOW UP FOR ANY OF HIS APPOINTMENTS. i coulda been kickboxing with susan. is he worth a rescheduling?
OT, don't know if you saw, but the Express referred to the panda as Butterstick today.
again?!? that'd be the second time. i'll have to look it up.
WHAAAT. that SUCKS. I've only seen him once or twice, but I've never had that problem. Dude, I'd complain. Loudly. If he pulled that on me, I'd be pissed, because I come from dreaded VA burbs most of the time.
I'm never recommending anything to anyone, again. I feel guilty!
i did complain, loudly, to the evil woman there, then to the receptionist who came back from lunch and had mistaken a 7 in my phone number for a 2, thus not actually reaching me to let me know the appt was cancelled. bah. but i've heard good things about this salon, even beyond the pygs' recs, so i'll see how it goes monday.
I must confess, he is pretty damn good. I've been stood up several times - and even broke up with with him for about 6 months - but I just love how he cuts my hair and came crawling back. Now I always call ahead to see how behind schedule he is (and he always is).
Oddly enough, I was calling the salon all day today to make a new appointment and never got an answer. Sounds like the salon was a total mess.
You know, I was just recently re-evaluating my relationship with my hair cuttress. We've only been together about 3 months, and we've totally run out of things to talk about it—but the haircuts are so good! I don't think I can leave her.
lady j, i called ALLL THIS MORNING cause i was trying to cancel so i could go take this kickboxing class w/ susan, but turns out they don't open till 12, and even when i got there at 1245 for my appt, the receptionist was not there, having "stepped out" for whatever reason. i hope he can deal with straight blonde hair. he better cut me good.
Kriston, there's a place in Ballston that's cheap, competent, metro-accessible, and has a fridge of beer. Okay, I haven't tried ordering a beer yet -- but still, this is highly encouraging.
Also, were you joking about the running out of things to talk about thing? Insistence on a mid-haircut conversation is an immediate disqualifier for me. Yes, I'm a snob.
