[2003.07.23 1141h] biking back to my room today, i passed by a number of students talking to trees. my guess is that they are practicing speeches for a class, perhaps on public speaking. regardless, the scene was rather surreal. the other day, i went miniature golfing with a few friends. as we were traversing the course, i found my bike light on a fence. upon seeing this, two questions immediately popped into my mind. 1. when did i take my bike light out of my pocket? 2. what was my bike light doing in my pocket in the first place? apparently, the adventures, or rather, misadventures, of my bike light seem to illustrate my absentmindedness during its extreme moments. my neglected gamecube finally got some use since i also played a few hours of video games that day. my friends and i played phantasy star online together. when multiple people play that game on the same screen, the screen is split so that each player gets a portion of the screen. i had never played the game on a screen split four ways before, so that was an interesting experience.
