Day: February 9, 2006

Some random trivia I stumbled upon last night while updating my MP3s.

I came across the song ‘Sugar Sugar’ a hit from 1969 – Billboard Chart #1 with a bullet.

So…the song is by The Archies. No problem, I just need the album artwork for my list and I’m on my way.

What’s this? I find out that The Archies are in fact a fictional band made up of the Archie characters we all love – Betty, Veronica, Archie, Jughead and Reggie! What the heck?! I never knew this! I mean, they appear in the comics all the time, but I thought it was just part of the story!

Turns out that the fictional band made some musical numbers for their animated series (which is stellar by the way. Go watch it!) and Sugar Sugar made it to the top of the Billboard – a first for a fictional band!

Mike’s MP3 player is on the fritz. The headphones don’t really work on it. So he’s been looking at getting an iPod.

So, me in my wisdom say “Pass that thing to me, I’ll fix it!” and apply some pressure to the headphone jack. After some wiggling the thing works! Yay!

Then after trying to reposition it, I hear a snap, and the thing goes into the player. Surprisingly, the thing is still working, but my genius self decides to pull out the headphones to see if I can fix it and the piece falls into the void which is the MP3 player.

I feel stupid. I feel bad. I know that he was going to get rid of it anyway in a few weeks, but now he’s out of music for a weeks until he gets an iPod.

Lesson Learned: Don’t let me mess with your stuff.

update: I am loaning him the money to buy an iPod. It’s the least I can do.
