Fat People & Bathroom Stalls

Sometimes I'm amazed at how little space there is when you're trying to get into a bathroom stall. Why do the doors open in? They should definitely open out. Sometimes I have a hard time fitting in there. What do fat people do? Crap in the urinals?

Also, I went to the North Florida Fair this weekend and seats on the rides were pretty tiny for some of them. I mean, I guess I don't want a bunch of 400lb. behemoths on the swings at the same time I am. I just thought it was funny that I barely fit in the seat. I guess I should stay off the little kid rides. (No, but seriously, seats were small on bigger rides).

Pick #102

Opeth - "Burden" from Watershed

Video Contest Entry

One of my friends has a friend who entered a contest to make a video for Coldplay's "Lost." Apparently, the more views it has, the better chance it has of winning. It's pretty good. Play it here!

Save!

I can't stand when stores advertise that you can save "up to X% or more." If there's an upper bound, just state it. The phrase "up to" means that you won't necessarily save the entire X%. Aargh.

Color Catcher

Shout makes a product called Color Catcher. You put it in your wash and it absorbs all the loose dyes so that they don't stain your other clothes. Takes care of the proverbial red sock. I guess a lot of people haven't heard of these, but they're really cool b/c you don't have to wash new clothes separately if you use these things.

You're Caucasian!

Last night, I was walking to Sarah's apartment from a visitor spot in the front of the complex when I came upon 3 black people getting out of a car. There were 2 guys and a girl. The girl was obviously drunk. She walked up to me and asked "Do you have a sister? Because my brother loves white girls...and you're caucasian." I assured her that I didn't have a sister. At that point, she saw that I was wearing a FSU Tri hoodie & asked if I went to Florida State. She told me that she too attends there. She put out her arm to escort me to my destination, much like men do for women at formal events. She insisted that we walk in step. She asked me where I was going. I said "to go see my girlfriend" then she abruptly dropped my arm and turned around. Ha.

Pick #101

Black Lab - "Circus Lights" from See the Sun

TBW gave me this album over the weekend. I listened to it about 6 times through in the car. Awesome album. It starts and ends on very strong notes, just like good relay teams and speeches are supposed to do.
