Life without my girlfriend, or "what the hell do I do now?"

As I type this, my significant other is off on a Contiki tour of Europe and, last I spoke with her, she was winding down after an evening spent at the world's largest beer (bier) garden in Munich, Germany. Naturally, I miss her in all senses of the word, but I'm getting antsy.

What to do, what to do... I've spent most of the day trying to conjure up an answer. Seems I arrived at several conclusions as to my schedule as the day went on:

1. Sit around, search digg.com for interesting news stories.
2. Drink day-old coffee quickly.
3. Proceed to study for the CPA exam intently thanks to a caffeine-induced interest in success.
4. Explore music blogs. Reaffirm that La Roux is awesome.
5. Eat.
6. Watch random David Duchovny movie called "The Secret", which was apparently published abroad. Appreciate it for what it was: semi-decent.
7. Fix fixed gear, go on 17 mile ride, forgetting that Portland is all hills. Almost die trying.
8. Sit around, search digg.com for interesting news stories.

In other words, I've managed to bore myself by hanging out with only myself. I'm still partied out from celebrating graduation continuously for the past two weeks and am trying to get in better shape for the GF when she comes back. Alone time is good, but it's better if your best friend is right there with you by your side.

She comes home in about two weeks and I can't wait. Meanwhile, I'll just keep reading Pride & Prejudice & Zombies.

P.S. David Sedaris on audiobook is the best thing to happen to bike rides since padded gloves. Love his stuff. Listening to "Me Talk Pretty One Day" currently, switching to "When You Are Engulfed In Flames" as soon as I'm done.

Dreaming in the morning...

I keep having the weirdest dreams and not remembering them halfway through the day... Hate it when that happens. From here on out, I will be posting my dreams on here, mostly for my own amusement.

On a separate note, I've found myself frowning on bicyclists who ride around with gears, especially when they put those gears to use in going 5 mph along a bike lane. Seems like those gears were put on for efficiency, no? Then what is the point of spinning your pedals at an incredible rate, whilst your bike teeters on the brink of tipping over entirely? I don't get people... As for me, I'll stick to passing cars in 25 mph zones on my fixed gear.

One day and five hours left until my last final examination ever-- couldn't be more fitting that the class is Advanced Accounting, and that the exam is cumulative. Nothing like trying to recall 3 months worth of lecture, when I had spent the lectures dozing off and/or daydreaming. Time to print off those notes!
