Cubing FML

So after being away for a few days, I finally had some more time to solve my new 8x8. It was going well and I was getting a decent time until I got to the last edge and just needed to flip the 4 inner edge pieces. It turns out the alg I had made and put in my notes only flipped the two edges on either side of the middle.... grrrr.
 
I was playing with the center caps on my Alpha V-f, it's fun to take them off and put them back when I'm bored. One fell on the floor, and I can't find it :(
Edit:
Found it! :D It was on the bottom of a paper bag, and the paperbag was white on the inside, and the center cap was laying face down, white side up. That's why I couldn't see it the first times I looked in that bag :p

Avo100: 16.48 (not the fail)
at the 99th solve i was at about 16.52/3 avg and wanted to get sub 16.5
then i got a nl 11.20 (PB is 11.18 also nl)
FAIL: i copied the scramble because the start looked great. (failing to notice that the keyboard batteries were low) started solve and finished. then i tried to paste the scramble somewhere. result: a link to some youtube video -.-
(LL was OLL: U R U2 R' U' R U' R' PLL: U T-Perm U')

EDIT: I know, it's not really a fail but, what ever...
 
So I'm in the middle of a serious 4x4 practice session because I'm getting pissed about not being sub-1 yet...I'm a U away from finished at 56.xx, I pop 5 pieces, one of them flies to the other end of the room. The other ones gangbang my diet coke can that I just opened and knock it onto the floor, spilling most of it. Then when I get up to pick up my piece that flew across the room, my Mac falls on the floor...The average of 5 turned into a 1:02.xx

That was epic!

I've been on a PR streak lately with the megaminx, so I was doing another speedsolve and got to the last layer with a PR-smashing time. It was an easy edge permutation and then on to corners. Somewhere in corner orientation I must have R when I should have R'. I didn't notice until I finished the last corner and the side of the megaminx was trashed. Grrr.

I had just bought a new cube, and I found out that it's edge piece was hard to pull out... So I tried with all my force, and eventually broke the piece! Hurray for wasted money.

- Oh! And one of my friends in class failed against me! :-) They are quite annoyed of us solving the cubes in class, so what we do is usually to keep them under the table. This day I solved a cube on the phone, and as our class started, I took the phone under the table, and sat there and cubed. My teacher caught me, and said "I can see you have it under the table, and it annoys me" with a dead serious look. Then one of the girls said "Yeah. And it's loud too!", and I pulled the phone up and asked how a phone could make noise. Everybody laughed at her. Poor girl!
