i love you galaxy hut....

sometimes i think friendster is evil...except not when the cute little actor boy thought to add me to his list all on his own. good cute little actor boy.

but i was scrolling through some friend's profiles and this is what the galaxy hut wrote in their "about me" section. the stuff in brackets is me explaining for you folk...

Remember when Arlington was cool? Before Crate and Barrel and Barnes and Noble? [the last 3 years have not been kind to clarendon/arlington. seriously. it's not even recognizable...] Back when the restaurants were local instead of chains? [they're all there now, cheesecake factory, baja fresh....] Back when you could still smell the chicken holocaust of El Pollo Rico [AMAZING peruvian chicken place. best.ever. now i want some. it's still there, thankfully ] on a warm day when the wind blew right? Back when there was sunlight that reached Wilson Boulevard? [where the galaxy hut is located. now shielded by hig-rises] Back when the corner of Wilson and Highland was a big parking lot, not a high rise, and when Bardo's [an ever changing, kinda crappy bar. used to brew their own beer. had cheap pool. now called dr. dremo's. ] kept the white-hats up closer to Rosslyn? [yuppier arlington area directly across bridge from georgetown. where usa today offices are] When you could rent creepy porno videos from that Asian video store? When bands could still play in the park [near the first location of NOW! records. also R.i.p. ] and the neighbors enjoyed it instead of complaining? You could still rent a four-bedroom house for about $1000 and play rock in the basement. And you'd walk down Wilson, or Clarnedon, and see some friends and you'd be all "Dude, I totally just four-tracked this amazing new song!" Yeah, I'm pretty much all that's left of all of that.

[and they're not lying....]
