Days of My Life

Oh, my, this Jim Stevens dude has won $140,600 over a six-day period on "Jeopardy"... And he's only a math teacher! I suppose that one shouldn't underestimate math teachers anymore. Not this one, anyway. I wonder what Larissa Kelly did with all her winnings. I love consistencies such as these. It is actually quite calming to know that despite everything else, some things just don't change. Not that change isn't good. I am totally open to it. What kinds of categories are these, anyway? Goodness. The weather has again succeeded to elucidate to us its craziness. I mean, what else would you call an entire week of gloomy rainfall followed by several days of extreme coldness, and then by a few days of spring warmth? Geez. I don't mind yesterday and today's weather, though, due to its convenience. By that, I mean that I can go run anytime I want (or not). While my sister and I were running earlier, I asked her how many days in a row we have run, and she said ...

The first thing that I thought to write: people lie too much. It's such a shame how deceitfully human beings behave. I mean, self interest most certainly does play a significant role, but must deceit also creep in and interfere and sometimes even overtake? Shame, shame, shame... Oh, well, we all have to live with it in one way or another. Furthermore, if you're going to get over it sooner or later, why not sooner? Earlier, I watched a bit of "Sound of Music". It seemed un-vaguely familiar, and then my sister reminded me that we had watched it a few years ago but I did not like it. Well, now I do. But too bad my parents got home and totally changed the channel. Therefore, now I cannot watch it anymore! And it was getting good, too. The "captain" was starting to fall for the "governess"! Dagnabbit. So the other day, my sister contracted the cold from one of our baby cousins. Twas the afternoon of Christmas day while we were over at their home watchin...

Have you heard that this year is going to be one second longer than the however many past years? Well, it is, so on Wednesday the 31st, remember to stop your clock for one second just prior to the break of the new year, 2009. Here it is more eloquently and factually written: Wait a second. The start of next year will be delayed by circumstances beyond everyone's control. Time will stand still for one second on New Year's Eve , as we ring in the New Year on that Wednesday night. As a result, you'll have an extra second to celebrate because a " Leap Second " will be added to 2008 to let a lagging Earth catch up to super-accurate clocks. By international agreement, the world's timekeepers, in order to keep their official atomic clocks in step with the world's irregular but gradually slowing rotation, have decreed that a Leap Second be inserted between 2008 and 2009. The extra second, ordered by the wor...

One should not say "Merry Christmas." Rather, it's "Happy Holidays." Hence, happy holidays to you all. Okay, Merry Christmas, too. My mother, sister and I were supposed to go "yum cha," but we ended up not doing so because my mother did not feel like going out and waiting in the rain, not that it is even raining that much. Oh, well. She went out to buy noodles, and I just finished eating lunch...or breakfast, whichever. Currently, I am doing this and watching the Suns v. Spurs game, which is getting good. The Spurs missed like, five shots in a row in the very beginning, and now they are four points away from tying. And then the Celtics and Lakers afterward! Yay! A Christmas gift for basketball fans, the news people called it yesterday. And indeed it is. So now I can legally watch rated R movies, not that I ever get to watch movies, what with my paranoid mother (bless her) always assuming that the large screens are going to suck our eyesight right out o...

No, this isn't my last entry here. Apparently, my last entry was on the seventh, which was about two weeks ago? Yes, nearly two weeks ago. How the time flies (why do I get the feeling I spelled that last word incorrectly?). Currently 5:38 P.M. and I am half-watching the Lakers vs. Heat game on channel nine (finally, a channel accessible to me) and half wondering what I will do for the rest of the night considering that my sister isn't home and my mother will be accompanying her and her little friends around eight. Subsequently, I will have two hours to myself. Yay, time. Oh, and I am only "half-watching" because I rarely ever get excited or enthused until the second half. and it's a tie. This reminds me that I have not touched a basketball in a long while. Or any ball, at that... Pertaining to sports, duh. Until about ten minutes ago, Luke Walton played for...a few minutes, seemingly. I realize now that he does not possess very good basketball skills/ characterist...

Nearly a month has passed since I last did this. Well, actually, it's probably been more like two weeks or so. I would not know, considering that I myself haven't looked at the calendar in weeks upon weeks. How do I survive that, you ask? I don't know, actually, but I know that I have my ways. Anyway, today was just plain... Allow me to divulge my day with you (whomever you may be). I woke up at 4:36 A.M., a time completely unconstitutional at which to wake up for a teenager who is regularly deprived of sleep. I mean, what kind of a psychotic freak wakes up at such a ridiculous time on a Sunday? To go run 13.1 miles, no less! Apparently, 3200 students today did. Fascinating, eh? Too bad I'm claustrophobic. Actually, no, that did not even cross my mind today. Not once, surprisingly, but I don't think that that is a bad thing, so I won't complain. To start off with, the students met at the bus stop at 5:25 and we departed approximately ten or fifteen minutes later...
