I was at work this morning when I recieved a reverse 911 call stating that "the suspect in your area has been apprehended and it is now safe to leave your homes and offices."

First of all, it would have been nice to recieve a phone call letting me know that there WAS a suspect that needed apprehending. 

Next, not ten minutes later I recieved another call stating "The Boulder County Police Department would is advising all residents and offices within a two mile radius of the IBM plant to evacuate the premises."

Errr... okay?  So my coworker and I leave the office to see that the Diagonal (big highway that runs out of Boulder) is completely blocked off after 63rd Street (my work street).  There is an obscene amount of policement, fire trucks, ambulances and state troopers abound.

I work .73 miles away from the IBM plant according to Mapquest.   The entire block is evacuating... and not one word about it on the radio.

Anyway, turns out that IBM, which regularly discharges toxic waste into the Boulder plains had a leak this morning.  (Don't all big corporations?  Gotta love 'em!)  But "not to worry" because the toxins have now all dissipated... but please keep all the windows and doors closed.  PS.  In case you didn't know, Boulder is in this strange weather air pocket just next to the Rockies.  All the storms and air goes right over the town which means that Boulder  has a terrible reputation for its smoggy air. 

So here is my question:  If Boulder air never really gets refreshed, and we breathe the same smoggy sh*t everyday... and a toxic chemical leak occurs less than a mile from my office... and we always keep our windows open... shouldn't I be getting hazard pay? 

Eep!  Saw the most disturbing porn I have ever seen in my entire life last night... in fact, I wasn't even able to finish it.  It's called "The Devil in Miss Jones" and is a remake of some 70s porn now with Jenna Jameson.  SO F-ing F-ed Up!

It's strange because it might almost be a *good* horror flick - of course, with the random gang bang sex and oral fascinations - but was SOOOOO not what I thought it was going to be. 

So EEP!  Lesson learned : Do not watch porn that has a red-eyed Jenna Jameson going up in flames on the cover!!!

Yo yo!

Finally settled in Korea in my new amazing two bedroom condo where*ahem* is rent free as my new place of employment, Sisa Japanese and English Academy pays for it.

PS.  Southeast Asia is simply put one trip after another... full meals cost about $1 and you can feast on sushi for two hours and have your bill come out to an even $12 in Chiang Mai, Thailand.  Sick.
