Singing in ASL
Sometimes I look for songs to “listen” to on YouTube if I forget a part of a song I’m singing in my head or something. In a recent search I happened across this fabulous woman who performs songs in ASL — something I’ve seen before, but usually it’s more of a “translation”, not really capturing as much of the rhythm visually as this woman. The real treats are the duets she does with others! Here’s a few, and you can find more in the “related content” links.
The original song I was looking for, “Baby It’s Cold Outside”:
Another duet, done side-by-side. Note how both follow their respective “voices” to represent the slightly “off” rhythm of this duet:

Today I had some employment paperwork to do, so after it was all done B and I hopped on the metro and saw:
- the capitol building
- the Lincoln Memorial
- the Washington Memorial
- the Smithsonian Natural History Museum
- the State Department building (where Hillary works!)
The best part about it: we can go back anytime we want — for free! (Well, I guess there are metro fares …)
B and I are still unpacking stuff, but I’m in love with our apartment and the town we live in.
