School starts the day after tomorrow. New students, a new class, opening unit in one class was one of my designs. I feel like there is a lot riding on the beginning. How does pressure build like this when you're not looking?

So I've been searching for a lot of ways to distract myself from what is happening around me.

I've taken my stratocaster appart only to realize that I'll have to buy a new pick-up and do some soldering before I get it back up and running. Sigh.

I've seen too many movies lately. Although I really liked Jarmusch's new film "Broken Flowers." The directing and story are beautifully understated (although Bill Murray's acting is a bit too understated this time).

I've been learning and relearning how to do some basic webpage design. I've spent the better part of the day working on a web page for the new AP class.

But school is still starting the day after tomorrow.

I want to run, but my knee and foot are still screwed up. I feel like I'm just getting slower and fatter everyday. Frustrating.
