another thing i didn’t mention from saturday night: it always astounds me how quiet and deserted some parts of a city this large can get at 3am. sure, it’s 3am, but you’d think that there’d still be a decent amount of life out on the major avenues. this is not true. it’s eerily peaceful and fairly strange that a world with so many street lights can have streets so deserted. that’s another reason i like going on late night bus trips.

enough about the weekend already, how about today? it’s a mild and pleasant day here in los angeles. i just took a quick dash trip (dash is the downtown shuttle bus system. short range trips for only a quarter, very practical and nice padded seats) to pick up my trusty pocketwatch. everything seems shiny and precise, so i’m happy. the man at the house of time was friendly and cheerful as well, so all in all that went well. if you need a watch repaired while you’re downtown in la, i recommend house of time, 404 w. 7th st. #301. now you know.

oh, and to top it off, i was looking at some preliminary scheduling for next semester (fall, that is), and if i’m not making any mistakes, and i get into all the classes that i want, i’ll be looking at two days of class per week. sure, i may be at school for 9 (non-consecutive) hours those two days, but still — only TWO days of class a week! i’m sure i can steel myself against having to be somewhere at 8am for those two days if it means the other three days i have no educational obligations whatsoever. this could be a whole new world of opportunity here. i mean, imagine the possibilities of having brian unleashed on an ususpecting world that would guess i’d have class monday wednesday and friday. they’ll never know what hit them.
