Life of Pride
Monday, January 16, 2006
 
I am thorougly irritated.
Not the best way to start a blog post, but then again, I wasn't intended to post to my blog until a minute or so ago.
I think.
You see, that's why I'm irritated. I wandered up from my cave, grabbed some string cheese and a cup of grapes, then meditatively munched the grapes while perusing the shelves of DVDs in the kitchen. I'd been reading for quite a few hours, I thought, and perhaps I would watch something. But none of the kitchen selection looked appealing. I meandered over to see what we had in the pile leaning against the player in the living room, but none of them seemed a worthwhile way to spend an hour and a half either. Then I skimmed the titles on our living room bookcases, seeing if I wanted to read any of their offerings. LOTR... Narnia... Ivanhoe... Rebekah of Sunnybrook Farm... Complete Edgar Allan Poe... Hm, no. I thought about my new ISI books downstairs. I could start on them. Or I could do some research. I still have about eight library books to check through, after all.
But none of these ideas appealed. And then it struck me! Of course! I could go downstairs and do it! The perfect solution! I scurried down the steps and into the basement. Within seconds, I stood in the middle of my area, poised and ready to do...
What?
What had I decided?
I couldn't remember!
So here I am, posting to my blog instead. I am thoroughly irritated. And I can't even claim alien abduction. I surely hope this isn't the sign of some serious mental illness. You know, it probably is. And I was so happy with myself last night when I was falling asleep, because I could still mentally multiply three-digit numbers by each other. :P
It must be because I'm sick. Yes, that's it. That is also why I didn't post over the weekend, because my upper chest suddenly decided to congest itself. It should be all right, though, Nothing serious. I'll bet I'm back kickin' it in TKD class tomorrow evening. And meanwhile, all my friends are making their ways back to college. Hm. I don't envy them.
 
Comments:
You can mentally multiply 3-digit numbers? Like, you could tell me what 389 x 972 is without a calculator or a paper? How in the world do you do that?!
 
I'm sorry to hear you've been sick, Sarah. Oh! What's the method for mentally multiplying the numbers--that is really cool! :-)
 
Will: "This is either madness... or brilliance."
Jack: "Its remarkable how often those two traits cooincide"

I think its a let-down type of thing; you're finally allowing your brain to relax a little after the last several years of hard work, and its so ready for it that its relaxing more than you indended. :-D

Hope you feel better soon!
 
How to multiply 3-digit numbers mentally: Very, very slowly and painstakingly. :)

Why blog? Everyone's doing it. Normally that would be enough to keep me far, far away, but the concept is too cool. Spread your personal thoughts to the world - far better than talking, because you can say anything, and you don't need the courage to look someone in the eye. So, with these reasons in mind, I have embarked. Enjoy, or not, as the case may be. I know I will.
