saturday 3

not much news today! i bought some chapstick from cvs, much needed, as well as some windex; the windex will hopefully help deal with the ants; the ants are ridiculous. if i leave a speck of food on my counter at night, then in the morning there will be 20 ants gathered around it and a line of ants on their way to join. i think that i can help wipe away the scent with the windex... currently i am listening to cardinals and trying to catch up a little bit on typing up notes; i'm taking a break from working problems for the day, the idea being that it's also worth it to review all the material and know the proofs of the theorems. (sometimes on the exam they just ask you straight up to prove one of the big theorems.) oh, one thing maybe worth mentioning; i had a terrible dream last night! i had a dream that some guy was following me around, and he had a gun, and he was threatening to kill me. but he wasn't planning on killing me right away; instead, he was planning on following me around and providing a constant threat of death. it was terrible; parts of the dream were just me trying to think of ways to sneakily get away from him, but it was impossible... i woke up in the middle of the night and was feeling very disconcerted and started walking around my apartment wondering why i felt that way until i remembered the dream. so that was weird. anyway, i also learned last night that a couple of people from high school are living in LA; i hung out with kevin o'neill a bit last night, who is in the air force going to grad school at the rand institute, and i also learned that tim heafner is going to law school at loyola marymount. both water polo guys... anyway, thanks for reading!

  3. The ants can be a killer -- I used this:

    when I had a bad ant problem in my place. It is good at breaking up the scent-paths they leave each other.
