For me, downtown Silver Spring is really kind of boring. It's mostly just the movie theater, some restaurants, and a couple of stores. Really it's just a place to go with your friends, but you'd rather be somewhere else because there's nothing to do. Although maybe I don't know the right places or something. Anyway, I live really close to a metro station, and so for me, Washington, D.C. is a lot more interesting than Silver Spring. There's soooo much more to do in D.C., and in general it's just way more interesting. I go to D.C. more often, and it's a lot easier to go to D.C. without other people than it is to go to Silver Spring by yourself. And my friends don't always like going places. Sooo this weekend I went to the National Gallery of Art, and took a lot of video of art, but my camera died before I got the impressionist section or the only Da Vinci in the U.S. or all the weird Renaissance art. So it goes. But I still had a fun time, and there was an unfinished Michelangelo statue, the David-Apollo which is so named because it is either David or Apollo. That was really awesome, but again, dead camera so you don't get to see it unless you use Google.

(I think the video might be private but YouTube won't let me sign in so I can't do anything about it sorryy)
