I never thought I’d see a full, portable version of “Guitar Hero” (No, this doesn’t count, cute though it may be.), but “Guitar Hero: On Tour” is on the way for the Nintendo DS.

FUCK. YES!

On New Year’s Eve, I had a brief conversation with a friend of mine and we resolved to hang out more in 2008. We finally got around to keeping that resolution last night.

I met up with P.D. last night for phở, a cuisine I’d never had before. We met up in at Phở 75 in Rosslyn. The name sounded familiar when he suggested it and at the restaurant I realized why — there was a franchise location not far from where I used to live in Rockville.

The place resembled a school cafeteria, and we were attended to right away by a somewhat unpleasant waiter. Nevertheless, the food was fast, tasty and cheap; we got out of there for less than $20, for two large bowls and a beverage each.

Oh, and a very modest tip… for the cooks.

Wired compiled a gallery featuring what they consider the world’s most impressive subways. No mention of D.C.’s system (outside of the comments, and it looks like most of those are unfavorable), but the subway in my hometown of New York City made the cut. I particularly enjoy the image accompanying the N.Y.C. subway’s blurb — it shows an M train moving on an elevated track past overhead wires with sneakers dangling from them.

Classic.
