Too Much Construction

Construction in my office building started with the need to install a sprinkler system. It's kinda scary that there never was a sprinkler system. Especially, since our building is attached to one of Alexandria's Court Houses. On top of that they are re-doing the walls and wallpaper, doors and soon to come the carpet. Oh I almost forgot the parking garage.

So then driving my hour drive home there is road construction. This is D.C. there is ALWAYS road construction. This is especially fun if I have to go to my client site prior to the office and I have to travel over the Woodrow Wilson Bridge. It's fascinating to see all the construction come to fruition but the backup can be painful. At least in the car I've been listening to Angels and Demons, by Dan Brown, on CD.

I get home just as the dudes working on my apartment building are leaving. They have renovated the lobby, windows, carpet, flooring, painted the walls in the hall and are currently updating all the balconies. I love what they have done to the building except for the gold paint on the elevators.

With all this construction you'd think there would be some hunky dudes… no such luck. The only good part is I'm getting high from all the fumes.

Would Fake Boobs Burst in Space?

As I was reading the DC Metro Bloggings of today I came across a piece from Wayan, Boob Job Donations are so 2002. He referenced, Michelle, a woman who was soliciting donations so she could get a boob job. I'm amazed at the lengths people will go to get what they want… yet oddly… I sometimes wish I had no inhibitions that might allow me to do similarly. No, I definitely do NOT need boobs they are big enough.

I scrolled down to find a question that was posted:

Would fake boobs burst in space?

What a question? Why? Or better yet who cares. I would assume that any woman who is interested in becoming an astronaut would not be so vain. There is no Vain in Space!

The answer to this most perplexing question…

“Your boobs may explode in space,” says the Sun.
Experts reckon boob implants may “expand and burst due to cabin pressure”.
"More than 157 people have forked out a massive £115,000 to rocket up to 400,000ft above Earth on the Virgin Galactic shuttle. Due to take place in 2008."

Evidently, they have concerns of breasts exploding especially with:

"Fibbing celebs whose lady lumps grew overnight as soon as they found fame. Throw them all in," They say. "It’ll be the next reality TV show – Real Life Pop Corn."

Who woulda thunk it?

DC Drivers

Sometimes the dude behind me in traffic is so far up my butt I want to just get out of the car and say:

"Hi! I'm Red! You were so far up my butt I thought I should introduce myself before it got more intimate."
