I like Billy Joel. Bite me.

Pressure You scored 41 angst and 38 tempo! (scale for each: 0-60)

All grown up and no place to go Strike one, strike two, what do you know? You scored as "Pressure," the hit song off Billy Joel's 1981 album, The Nylon Curtain. Frankly, this is my least favorite of Joel's album's, although the critics liked it and "Pressure" is one of the best songs. You may recognize it as often being played during timeouts at basketball games. This score suggests you're a Type A personality, and maybe feeling a little stressed at the moment. I applaud your taste in music, but you might want to try some more soothing songs like "Vienna" or "Everybody Has a Dream." Or maybe some aromatherapy or something. Cool score, though. :)

My test tracked 2 variables How you compared to other people your age and gender: You scored higher than 96% on angst You scored higher than 93% on tempo

I like this song a lot. I love the fact that once again Billy Joel is being unrepentantly New York-centric by mentioning Channel 13 and then Sesame Street in the same line. It's like, yeah I know PBS isn't Channel 13 everywhere. Screw everywhere else. :)

Course I have to wonder if anywhere else besides NY managed to pack all of its major networks neatly into the VHF frequencies. One of the things that always boggled me about travelling places is that nice normal channels like NBC and CBS would show up in funny places like channel 40 or 22, which made no sense to me. CBS = 2, NBC = 4, FOX = 5, ABC = 7, 9 and 11 became UPN and WB (I think 9's gone back to being independant now) and 13 was PBS. Very easy. I've been in the Valley about a decade now and I still have no idea where any of the channels are.

Of course, it probably dates me like hell that I know the basic difference between a UHF and a VHF frequency in this age of cable. then again, my parents used rabbit ears until long after I went off to college.

I found a freakishly large centipede hiding in one of the coffee cups at work this morning (and was very glad I'd seen it BEFORE I'd poured coffee on top of it!) It was definitely one of those moments where I was very glad no one else in the office found it, otherwise there would have been broken coffee cup everywhere and lots of shrieking. I'm sure other people think that about me when they find a green fuzzy civilization in the fridge. It's always fascinating to me what relatively harmless things people have a knee jerk visceral reaction to. I mean, I know mold is not going to reach up and eat my face, but my first instinct is to put as much distance between me and the fuzzy as possible. Usually with jumping screaming and throwing involved. Likewise I can understand why people have such a bad reaction to bugs, especially centipedes. Waaaaaaaaaay too many legs, especially when moving. I dunno. it's just interesting how little aspects of daily life and the natural world can freak people out so completely.

LOST - Ahh yes. This was a yummy episode. ( Spoilerese )

Anyway, back to your regularly scheduled programming.

*SIGH*

I just ran across a web site that had the EXACT outfit I envisioned Dad wearing to the wedding.

The Le Capitaine Coat at the top. Yeah. He would look amazing in that. You can say a lot of things about that coat, but "clownish" is not one of them. Thinking of photoshopping his head into that picture and mailing it to him just to be pissy. That would probably freak him the hell out, since he's still quite a bit fuzzy on the "Advanced Digital Image Manipulation, aka Photoshop" concept.

My hatred of everything right now knows no bounds.
