failing like never before

Daily Log – 29 June 2008

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.
