Boccato Gelatos 2719 Wilson Blvd, Arl, Va
A new gelato shop opened in Clarendon, Boccato Gelato. I stopped in to
try it and had a small serving of chocolate hazelnut for $3.25. It was
delicious and smooth and deserves to be called gelato well made. I
also tried their pomegranate, which was tasty with a little strawberry
and mint in it, and also something I'd never heard of, lukuma, which is
apparently a south american fruit and tastes like butterscotch.

Boccato Gelato is between East West Grill and El Chaparral Meat Market
on Wilson Blvd, across the street from Whole Foods.

Astor Mediterranean
Astor Mediterranean
2300 N Pershing Dr
Arlington, VA 22201
(703) 465-2306
I had noticed that a restaurant was renovating a place down the street and wondered what it would be. It turns out it's exactly what I was wishing Clarendon had, a Mediterranean restaurant, Astor! I was hungry tonight and didn't want to go to the lousy mexican dive across the street and remembered Astor, so I biked down 3 blocks and got take away.
I ordered the spinach pie, gyro, and baklava. The spinach pie seemed like it had spent maybe 3 minutes too long in the oven but it's shell was crispy and flakey and the spinach filling was very tasty, not so sour as some other spinach pies I've had. The gyro was definitely money well spent! It was large, I'd say at least 8 or 10 " in length with plenty of delicious lamb in it. The baklava was mostly flakey pastry, very little filling, but it tasted great and came in a satisfying size of about 2" square (it was triangular but you get the idea). My total was barely over $12 and I'm not stuffed, but am pleasantly full, and feel satisfied that I ate a tasty meal.
I'll definitely be going back to try the rest of their menu. :)

Stupid Old People Are Stupid
BAHAHA This guy wants to have separate bathrooms for 'mos and hets. The second link is to a video where he describes his platform but doesn't talk about the bathrooms, regrettably. I'd like to see his little giblets get all flustered.

Valeriya - The Party's Over
This is a very fun video I heard about over twitter. I like all of the old-timey elements in it, not a PDA to be seen! ;) My favorite part is the poison in the drinks from the secret poison ring. I need one of those! I'd be poisoning bitches left and right. 'A little arsenic for you and you and you and you...'

Roomba quarterly maintenance
Ordered a replacement set of brushes for roomba, disassembled a little
and cleaned some areas I don't access regularly, installed new brushes
and my little robot is good as new.
