Kellari Taverna: A Series of "Whats?"

With Greeks, Latinos, Moroccans and a few Americans, there are a lot of accents at Kellari Taverna where I have a part-time hostess gig. These diverse cultures, accents, and personalities make for a lot of whats? and filling in the blanks and dramatic exits. A part from that, I have time to stand and think while getting paid. Not a bad situation at all. In fact, it forces me to take time to think, which otherwise might take lower priority.

DC Nights

Whether it's a poetry slam at Busboys & Poets, a club on U Street, or a free movie in the park, D.C. nights have grown on me. Everyone is working hard all day, then playing hard at night to release all of the stored energy. The wind, the fireflies, the slower pace is where my young & wild side can be set free. Day & night makes for polar ends and we magnetically attract to the other side, bouncing back and forth in a circular rotation. Until the weekend when I am exhausted and take a break. When does applying for jobs come into the mix?
