So, my dad's in the process of celebrating a birthday this weekend. Adam and I thought it would be fun if we helped him blow something up. And because I am So Awesome, I managed to work the movie feature on my camera and edit the resulting clip into a sort of greeting card using iMovie.

Suddenly, I'm forgiving the computer for the whole J-key thing.

And I know what you're going to say. "Sarah, putting Mentos in Diet Coke is so last month. Why, didn't your publication run an article on it just this past Tuesday?"

Well, yeah, but you have to understand blowing shit up is a tradition of long standing with my dad. We made geysers in the sand box, volcanos in the sink. Mentos in the Diet Coke is just a natural progression of our complex and dynamic relationship.

Happy birthday, Pop. I hope it's a good one.
