Just a quick post, recently there’s been a new pizza place that opened up in Falls Church that finally has some really great wood-fired brick-oven pizza.  It’s called Pizzeria Orso and is near downtown Falls Church (actual address: 400 S. Maple Ave., Falls Church, VA  2204).

Probably not worth the trip for those in DC (you’ve got Matchbox, Pizzeria Paradiso, and 2Amy’s) but if you’re in the Tyson’s Corner area it’s the best pizza place I’ve been to in the area.  I haven’t had a bad pizza there.  Definitely better than Pie-tanza (which I thought would be good but ended up not) and a notch (or several) above places like zpizza or Flippin Pizza Those places definitely have their value though 2 slices and a drink for $5 lunch at Flippin for example.

Succinct review: Almost as good as Madison’s Pizza Brutta but twice as as expensive. Atmosphere inside not quite as nice as it should be but not bad.

First, let me apologize for this post. I’m writing it in probably not the best mental state right now.

Let me also say that it’s pretty weird watching your best friend and girlfriend of the last many years walk past a TSA agent and some seat-belt stanchions (trying to figure out the right term for those things was a good 5 minutes of typing random things into Google) and knowing that for the next year she will be ten thousand miles away. How are you supposed to deal with something that has been looming since the relationship started but is now finally a reality?

After what felt like the longest 20 minute drive home ever, I knew that the only answer was to go on a raging bender. Which, for me at least, means a large pizza, a few beers, and plenty of bad movies.

Of course after 5 movies, 3 beers, nearly 4000 calories  and an ill-advised shopping spree on quasi-depressing indie music off Amazon later, I’m left wondering, what do I do next? Follow-up question: should I sign up for Amazon Prime so I can get my quasi-depressing indie music delivered faster?

Well, step one (after pizza/beer/movie bender) is to zap this dead blog back to life. What that means yet, I’m not sure.  Just rest assured it will be inane and full of crap that I probably would have just talked about with my GF were she around.

So, to anyone who reads this, all I can say is: Welcome back to the WRN adventure.

Ok, typically when I read about product recalls in the news it’s something like, “Lead paint makes Happy Meal toy toxic to some mongoose(s)” or “The Forge Chargenator has an issue with its right rear socketonomatrix valve and needs to be replaced.”

Since my car is 7 years old at this point and I don’t play with a lot of toys (I got rid of my Voltron and Transformers when I moved!) I typically ignore this.  Even the “finger in the chili” or “tainted spinach” thing didn’t really affect me since I don’t eat either of those that often or generally expect fingers in my food anyway.

Ok, I’m done news-promoing you (telling you that something really common could actually KILL YOU but then not actually telling you what it is even though I had plenty of time in the little 15 second blip).  Frozen pizza could have E. Coli.  FROZEN PIZZA.

Why have you forsaken me so Pizza Deities?  I love the crispy crust you get from my pizza stone and I even own multiple pizza cutters for those instances where I haven’t had time to wash it before I need to eat your delicious tastiness again.

Oh wait, it’s just Totino’s and Jeno’s.  Those taste like ass.  Never mind.
