Random stuff
On Saturday I went with my father to the Fremont Solstice Parade. There were (of course) nude bicyclists, who became boring to me after about four minutes (except for the George Bush with suit painted on, riding a unicycle). And there were also many other things. They pay for the parade by having one group of people with little green cloth bags on long bamboo poles hold them into the crowd for people to deposit money into. It's very pretty. I've got some pictures.
Today is graduation. I went to the practice this morning. Cold. Graduation is at :wqest Field this evening. I have decorated my cap&gown. It's got a 7-segment LED display hanging from the front of the cap, wired to display "06", powered by a 9-volt battery tucked into the back of the cap. Pictures if anyone asks.
Wow---this post langished in a tab for about 15 minutes while I worked on Wikipedia.
Addition---Yesterday evening I bicycled around Capitol Hill for about an hour and a half to work off energy. I find exercise works very well in helping me go to sleep. All those happy couples wandering about Capitol Hill/Volunteer Park ... makes me sad.
Another thing that makes me sad. There's a memorial to Thomas Burke (namesake of the Burke Museum) in Volunteer Park. Some delinquents took an orange crayon to it and wrote messages e.g. extolling the virtues of the particular brand of oppression practiced by "VLAD LENIN" and so forth. But the most disappointing part is that they also wrote "ARS LONGA VITA BREVE". That made me lose all faith in humanity I had retained to this late date. :)
