Haha, I'm a tool. Just today, Kat and I went to Big Apple Bagels to grab a quick lunch before we both headed off to work (yes, working on a Saturday). I ordered my usual, a Roma Italian sub and a 32oz Diet Coke. We were both a bit tired today but I believe I was the one with worse coordiation. While reaching for my drink, I slightly nudged it. Thinking I was about to knock it off the table, I made a quick grab for it, hoping to save it. Instead, I increased the drinks velocity and redirected its destination vector directly toward Kat. Needless to say, I absolutely drenched her in 32oz of Diet Coke. Thankfully, she wasn't too upset. I tried to clean up as best I could, but she was basically covered and nothing could be done. We quickly finished our meal outside and then went home. Minus 50 points for me (for the obvious) and plus 50 points for her (or not freaking out).

Found on Fark! retroCRUSH: The 50 Coolest Song Parts: I don't agree with many of the selections (either that or it's just hard to tell from the much-needed but low quality MP3 clips they give you) but over all this is a pretty cool list with some of my favorites. Favorites include anything by Queen, The Who and Heart.

What was Number 1 on the day you were born????: I remember seeing this site years ago but I don't think I ever blogged it. Here are some songs:
Mine: Magic by Olivia Newton-John
Kat's: Pop Muzik by M
Jenn's: Funkytown by Lipps, Inc. (bwahahaha)

Just for kicks, the song 9 months before my birthdate was No More Tears (Enough is Enough) by Barbra Streisand and Donna Summer. Hmm, not sure what to make of that one.

Oh, BTW, my gallery is hosed. I'm not exactly sure when it happened or what happened, but it's hosed. I tried to upload some pictures last night and my upload tool kept crashing. I tried to add the pictures through the normal web interface and that was having some problems. When I couldn't delete some albums, that's when I knew it was completely messed up. Even upgrading over the existing installation didn't help.

Looks like I get to rebuild it from scratch this weekend! Yay!

When you drive to work and get out of your car and then ask yourself "Am I wearing underwear?", you know it's going to be a good day.

Why the hell did The Berry Zone have to pick the exact same Blogger template as me? I mean, come on, dude already stole my first name, he doesn't have to be lazy and steal the same damn template!

No matter, it's all love.

Hmm, power to weight ratios, one of the most important aspects of any car. The Focus only has 130 HP but it only weighs 2551 pounds and has 135 ft-lbs. The Camaro, on the other hand has only 140 HP and weighs 3103 pounds but has 180 ft-lbs. A few calculations later give 19.62 pounds-per-HP and 18.90 pounds-per-ft-lb for the Focus and 22.16 pounds-per-HP and 17.24 pounds-per-ft-lb for the Camaro. The Focus is faster than the Camaro but the Camaro has better low-end acceleration? Weird.

Now that Russell is moving out and I do not have a roommate yet, my rent goes from $672.50 a month to $1570 a month! I get to pay $95 a month for the right to a second parking space when I do find a roommate. I also get the fun of trying to find said roommate which is becoming harder than I expected. Thanks!
