Pete's Log: focus? who needs it?
Entry #544, (Life in General)(posted when I was 22 years old.)
"a shocking crime ends with the torture of a cat." ... the headline story of fox 28 news tonight. I mean, sad as it is, but is it worth going on about for five minutes?
Today I made it up the cleveland hill in my highest gear. No more room for improvement. I guess I can live with that. But I guess that's it for this little game.
Made some more progress on p4. Slowly but surely. I'm having a hard time focusing. Have been for at least a week now. Luckily there are no pressing things due anytime soon. Maybe I should do some for-fun reading. I've done almost none of that this semester. And since my mind seems to have more important things to think about than computer science, I might as well admit I'm losing.
I got paid today. So I ordered "Das Boot" on dvd. I find it slightly amusing that when I did a search at bn.com for "Das Boot" it found no matches, but doing a search for "The Boat" gave me "Das Boot" as a search result. Heh. It's silly. But being a dvd and all, I can watch the movie in english, german or spanish, and can have subtitles in english french or spanish. Obviously the proper way to watch it is in german (optionally with english subtitles on if some of my non-german-speaking friends are around.) Yay! This is also going to be the first dvd I own. I'm moving up in the world. And I think "Das Boot" is definitely quality enough to be a good first dvd. I'm psyched.
