Why I currently love Washington DC.

Because you can get off at the "Smithsonian" subway stop (sorry, Metro) and walk down Independence Avenue past buildings like this one, the headquarters of the Federal Aviation Administration, and you FEEL like you should say something to the building. Like, "Hey! What's up with all the delays?" or "Your ham and cheese bagels suck!" Stuff like that. It's that powerful. Seeing these buildings, and there are lots of them around, suddenly makes you want to speak to the man in charge. The whole setup brings an individual an enormous sense of power.

Then, you know, you walk past the Capitol building, and you're all kind of, like, at a loss for words, 'cause, like, it looks all amazing and cool and shit, and you just take a photo of yourself waving.

Oh, and the National Gallery of Art is pretty cool too.
