Weekend: Top 3

Besides working out like a crazy person (I ran 47 miles on the elliptical this week...up from probably 5...so let's just say my tired-ness put a damper on me being fun this week/end), my weekend had it's share of random. Here are the top 3 things (in no particular order) that I witnessed (yet, SHOCKER...sadly failed to photo/video document):

1) While walking my dog on Friday night, I came across another odd vanity licence plate. It read: DrDream. To me, this was a pretty confusing plate, as I had about 14 different things in my head that it could mean. The most logical answer was that the car owner was a doctor who studied dreams (I took a course on this in college, and my roommate worked in a lab where they did sleep studies, so I knew that it existed as a real field). But, then I thought, why would this doctor need to announce his specialty to the world? It is not like he is the only Dr...of dreams. I then thought that the car owner was either the Dr of your dreams (you know, for those shooting to marry a doctor), or that he/she had dreams of being a doctor. Both options....would be weird reasons to get a vanity plate...to say the least. After spending a good 20 minutes running through a Rolodex of what this plate could mean, I finally realized that I needed a dream book to understand it, and was analyzing it more than the dream I used to have where someone was staring at me through the window of my bedroom (until in my dream I flicked him off and the dreams stopped), or the reoccurring one I had when I was little about witches brewing me. Since I am still completely clueless (not for lack of trying)...what do you think this odd licence plate means?

2) On Friday after the usual game night routine, my friends and I went out to Karaoke in Adams Morgan. I am all for karaoke, and belting out crazy 80s sing-a-long songs, all while bonding with new friends and dancing, but the DJ (karaoke-song controller man) was a d-bag. When I went to hand him the song requests we filled out, he told me that he would only play songs that he liked (which did not include Journey. ASS), and therefore, in between Livin on a Prayer and Sweet Caroline, we got stuck listening to some dudes try to rap old school gangsta style, to songs we had never heard before. I wanted to BOO, but then it is not their fault that 80s rap fails to translate into solid karaoke. However, by far the weirdest song choice/moment of the night was when a group got up and started to sing "Proud to Be An American". I think my jaw....dropped. Not only did the entire bar start singing with them, but following the song, every one there (minus me as I was in such a state of confusion), starting chanting U-S-A...U-S-A. Last time I checked, our country was not really that patriotic anymore, and I felt like we had just won a war, or started a war, or something. I really wish I had my video camera....What is the weirdest song you have ever heard at karaoke?

3) On Saturday night, I went to this fundraiser at a bar for one of my co-workers' volunteer organizations. It was held at a VERY college-y place, but we were upstairs, and the college people were downstairs. Let's just say this was PERFECT for people watching, and being the ultimate creeper. Anyway, from our view we were able to see the group of 7-10 girls dancing on the bar....and the DJ announced that they would be having a chugging contest. Little did I know, girls who don't actually want to chug (You know the ones who go...EW. BEER... or I DO NOT DRINK BEER--like it is above them), think that they can win such a contest by pouring the beer on their HEADS. And, this did not just happen with one girl...but over half of them. Disgusting. Don't they know that beer does not a wet-tshirt-contest make?! Now, I have done some fun/crazy things in my college days, but even for a free bar tab, I would not take a Natty-Light Shower. What is the craziest thing you would do for a bar tab?

As of today, I only have 2 more weeks of work. Happy Monday People!!
