Except it made me terribly hungry, so I stopped by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/ac2\/wp-dyn?node=cityguide\/profile&#038;id=1115012\">Snap<\/a> for a chocolate chip crepe and a rose-flavored lassi. The lassi was a little weird, but Snap is more known for its bubble tea than its lassis. And while I can justify $4 for a lassi, I refuse to pay $4 for a cup of hot tea. It&#8217;s tea, people! I know how much a bag of tea sells for! But the crepe was excellent, so I would definitely go back, but just to eat.<\/p>\n<p>The rest of the evening was spent cleaning and watching <a href=\"http:\/\/imdb.com\/title\/tt0051201\/\">Witness for the Prosecution<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.weta.org\">WETA<\/a>&#8216;s classic movie of the week. I really enjoy seeing classic movies, and WETA makes it remarkably easy to catch up on those I haven&#8217;t seen as well as favorites.<\/p>\n<p>Tomorrow, I&#8217;m having a couple of friends over for lunch.
