Heh-heh, well, I'm behind on my projects for the class I'm in, but it looks like I'm almost to the point where I can just blow the rest of it off, and still get an A. Almost, at least. Very, very cool.

Oy, I know that I got about six hours of sleep last night, but my brain is telling me that I'm exhausted- like, the kind of exhausted where I'm tripping out, and seeing things. Its very strange. I shouldn't be this tired.

Well, its safe to call the Gnat Wars a victory- I haven't seen one in days. I'm still surprised at the their tenacity and reproductive force, but after some fairly extreme measures they seem to have given up. I'm still keeping everything in my kitchen behind cupboard doors, and after I take a shower I blast the bathroom with arid A/C to keep the moisture level down, but all seems well.

I watched an epidode of the original Batman show last night. Batman went to a bar (in costume), drank a tall orange juice, and hit the dance floor with a go-go dancer (employing the old standby John Travolta peace-signs across the eyes)...................

..................speachless.

Oh, and Robin's costume didn't have pants. He didn't even have boxer-briefs, they were just green tighties. And he kept standing splay-legged in the hero V-pose............... awkward.

And the Riddler asked this classic:

Q: When does a clock resemble a train?

A: At two-past-two "TOO-TOO"

Now, I'm sure I've read somewhere that excercise can act as an appetite supressant- which I admittedly don't need. For me personally though, it does nothing but turn me into a ravening wolf. The first thing I did when I got home from volleyball (weights/ running earlier in the morning) was fix eggs, sausage, and toast. Then I showered- stepped out- and was immediately hungry again. I've eaten what seems to me vast amounts of food today, but my last conscious thoughts tonight will likely have food somewhere in the train.

Oh, and I was stoked to have the opportunity to give away the Jack..Box gift card I had previously bought. I think it really made the guy's evening. Really, I was pretty impressed that the guy didn't try to come up with some crazy ",I just need a little money to take a bus back home" line. It grates on my fundamental character to have to decode people's lies- however necessary they think they are. If I have a problem, I'll either state it clearly so people can help, or I'll just handle it on my own (the far more likely route). Sometimes I think about being a bum for a week or two. I still wouldn't understand any of the underlying reasons people have for dropping out of society- being an emminently employable fellow without chemical dependancies or a warped/ violent childhood. It would be fascinating though, to get a grasp of the fears, shames, and burdens of living on the street. I'm sure I'd do it all wrong though. Whenever I think about how I'd survive my time on the street, I start looking at fire-escapes and rooftops instead of abandoned buildings or parking-lot bordered woods areas. I can't help but think I'd get my throat slit if I slept with the other homeless people. Musings....

Know what's funny? When three high-school guys come in, order $60 of food, walk out on their check, and....... (wait for it)...... leave their keys. Oh yes.... it was good. They're probably just going to tell their parents they lost the keys somewhere though, because they never had the guts to come back for them. I was really hoping to see them come back though- oh, my unfulfilled wishes....

So I just lit my pants on fire while I was wearing them. Then I got an ember in my eye when I blew them out- no bueno. Its stinkin' amazing I didn't burn my apt down just now. In other news, I was frustrated with the world in general, and women in particular a little while ago- so I went to the gym. Everything was going fine, when I was a mile in on the treadmill, and some dude started running right next to me. So I sped up, and kept running until he quit. Then I sped up again, and kept running for another five minutes just to prove my dominance. It was a good thing he quit easily though, because I was in a LOT of pain. Anywho, the various reasons for my frustration proved groundless (as is strangely often the case), so I'm good now- THE END.

Okay, so when I'm able to sneak up to within touching distance of a wild cat (which I always decline to actually do), I wonder whether I'm just that good or if there's something wrong with the cat- 'cuz I love the kitties. Oh, and I made friends with a dog today. I should have asked him his name though.... oh well, I would have forgotten it anywayse.

Bloody hell!!! I was coming home from a marathon programming session at school, saw a little strung out homeless woman at 1960/ 45, drove to Jack-in-the-crack, bought a gift certificate, and by the time I got back to her spot she was gone! I really wanted to give her that card. So I can't volunteer on the weekends, and when I try to do something else nice my niceness is thwarted. THWARTED!!! dangit
