failing like never before

A quick summary of today’s highlights in my life.

• Went to church, doodled on scraps of paper while the previous pastor's son spoke
• Saw a Smart Car speeding down the highway at about 80mph.
• Read a great deal of Primo Levi's The Periodic Table, which I bought yesterday at a book sale. Its quite interesting, I think I will write an article on it later.
• Registered for classes online. My registration time was 7pm, I signed up for my physics lab (a very hard to get class) about five seconds past 7.
• Fixed my bike with the help of my dad. It is now possible for me to shift into a gear higher then 14 without my chain popping off the front gear and knocking the gear-guard off. Still having difficulty shifting the front gear from first to second, but the bike seems to be functioning fairly decently now. I think I may now be able to ride it without having to stop every fifteen minutes to fix/adjust something.
• Rode my bike around the neighborhood for a little bit. Two annoying kids (and when I say kids, I do mean dudes about my age) drove up next to me and honked and screamed nonsensical phrases while waving a little American flag they had stolen from someone's front yard. They were very annoying (dur...).
• My professor finally responded to my e-mails. Hopefully, he doesn't think I'm a weird stalker dude, what with the incessant e-mails I sent him over the past week.
• Bemoaned the fact that my blog draws hardly any visitors at all
• Bemoaned the fact that I am a loser, and resolved to promptly rectify said predicament, but with no idea how to go about it.
• Watched a bit of some stupid old TV show called Highlander at hulu.com. Decided the show was/is quite stupid.

It is now a quarter past 11pm. That is to say, forty-five minutes from midnight.

A quick summary of today’s highlights in my life.

• Threw away my old shoes. Last week, while riding my bike, I put one foot back and rested it on the tire while I was moving, thus melting off most of the heel. I also threw away three other pairs of very old shoes, one of them dating back to elementary school.
• Mowed the lawn and did some yard work
• Went to the library's book sale. The results were disappointing. I bought a copy of Danial Defoe's Moll Flanders and a beaten copy of Primo Levi's The Periodic Table. As sort of a community thingum, the library had a great mock pirate ship set up in the parking lot, and parking was surprisngly difficult to get. When I was little, we never had cool things like that at the library. Just books
• Went to the movie theatre to see Get Smart with my dad, turned out that it was past matinee time. So we went to Costco, bought the tickets from Costco at matinee price for a regular screening. The movie was pretty amusing.
• I saw a bit off the antique road show on TV, and wondered how much my old, massive tome on the Renaissance is worth. A quick Google search yielded disappointing results: $40, with the dust jacket (which I didn't have).
• Lolled around a bit.

Less then four minutes to midnight now...

A quick summary of today’s highlights in my life.

• Laid in bed reading X-men and the Avengers: Gamma Quest Trilogy, talk about educational
• Put on my cool Google t-shirt which I finally found stuffed away in a box I forgot to unpack
• Walked around the neighborhood while reading David Berlinski's The Advent of the Algorithm
• Watched my sister pack while lolling around on her bed
• Went to San Francisco International Airport to drop my sister off to fly to Singapore
• Got home late and then went to sleep

It is now nearly midnight

A quick summary of today's highlights in my life.

• spent some more time finishing off drafts in my blog's database
• my professor didn't respond to my e-mail, so I e-mailed him again
• went out to eat Dim Sum and go shopping with my mom and sister
• rode my bike to the library, but arrived just as they closed, the smog was so bad that I was crying after ten minutes
• my bike kept breaking on the way to the library, discovered that if I switch into any gear higher then 14 while moving faster then a arthritic turtle, my chain pops off the gear
• read

The time is now 7:39pm, I'm going to watch "Last Comic Standing" with my dad and sister and then go to sleep.
