Washington DC Metro Sucks.

Life, Rants

Good luck getting to the innauguartion next week. The DC metrro can barely handle the normal volume of passengers without breaking down all the time. And then, there’s parking….

I got to the Vienna Metro at 8:33 by my car’s clock, which is probably about 8:25 in real time. Both parking garages were full. And not just “oh i just missed the last spot” full. I’m talking about 50 angry people circling the lots in cars looking for some poor sucker to mow down full.

WTF? I think that’s a pretty resonable time to get to the metro, the ride should take about 45 minutes that would put me into work before 9:30, a time when most people who work in an office have to be there. I think the thing that really pisses me off is that they closed down the auxillary parking lot about a year ago, because, I assume that they were going to construct a new garage. But they’ve done nothing in the year since then and now I hear that the garage project has been cancelled because of lack of funds…. ARRRRGGG

Cats

Life, Randomness

Do cats think that we are some kind of giant monkey burn victims? I wonder if that’s when they are so affectionate to us? I just had my cat (Dina) come up next to me, look at me, rub her head on my leg, then walk away. It’s like she’s thinking… Damn… There’s nothing I can do for this one… you be a good boy… oh well I’m gonna go lick myself.

Life, Projects, Randomness, websites

Before I moved out of the house in Vienna the roomates were having a discussion on how many games of Beer Pong have been played at the house. In the interest of statistical accuracy I gave the guys a notebook to keep track of all the games and so was born… The Pong Log.

I moved in with Laurel and came back every once in a while to hang out but I really wasn’t there all that much. I remember being surprized when Jesse said that Greg was dominating all the games, he was always good but not in a 31 game win streak sort of way.  So now that they are moving out of the house I decided to put together a little website dedicated to the Log. But in typical Mark fashion I was a little bit grand in the plans and constructed the worlds most complicated, in-depth, and potentially accurate Beer Pong Stats Database EVER.  It’s not totally compete, but all the records are up to date and I’ll be adding more stats/records.

Before you get on our case for drinking this much beer. I just want to let you know that they didn’t actually play by the official rules and force the losers… or even the winners,  to drink all the cups that were left on the table. I think they actually used water some of the time.

I present…
