Picnic Day in Davis

For a lot of people in Davis, Picnic Day is the most exciting day of the year. To some, it’s a chance to learn a lot about what students and faculty are working on. There are lots of bands (mostly start-up bands) that play for huge crowds. There are lots of food and tons of single women. You might find a lot of drunk people who show up to have fun all by themselves. This year, we walked around, caught the dog show and walked some more. Blub and I entered this Doom 3 contest. I won the round with 18 kills and I might end up winning a new gaming mouse. Yah pour moi. … Continue reading…Picnic Day in Davis

Today = Bad Day x Infinity

Today started off okay. Even though I went to bed earlier than usual, I was still very tired. I biked to work and did my usual shift.

But with such nice weather, you’d think the consequences would be tons of sunburns caused by too much skin exposure. Not possible. Why? Because of girls that cover themselves when it’s extremely sunny and it’s around 70-80 degrees. I surprisingly saw many girls today sporting long jeans and hooded sweatshirts. How is that possible? Why is it happening? The sunny weather should be mean short shorts, flip flops and small t-shirts. GRRRR. … Continue reading…Spring-Summer Gripe

GRRRR

For a Monday — to just get off from a weekend — I feel very sluggish. My swim today — I was alone by the way — sucked. My knees were stiff and my arms felt like jelly. I ran into Pascal, but that’s another story. And I’m still feeling the lingering effects from my fall during our hike (my shorts rub against my knee cut) and from either two mosquito or two flea bites on my crotch. Damn the summer. … Continue reading…GRRRR
