The local cops aren't down with the whole keeping within a small area while investigating thing. So, they're looking into something a block or two over, and this apparently requires flashing lights in front of my house. And also a circling, flashing, helicopter. The helicopter is the reason I'm not drifting peacefully off to sleep right now - the circular pattern of the noise level is driving me sort of nuts.

I've decided taking math might be more fun than taking random unconnected electives to meet my course minimum. In view of that, I started reviewing single variable calculus today. I know it and I'm good at it, but I haven't done any real math for about a year and a half, so I am definitely rusty. Picking it back up with multivariable calculus in the fall would be something fun to look forward to, so hopefully I will be able to stick with the schedule I've set for myself.

Today Mister Bones and I went on an expedition to find abandoned red cricket balls. Unfortunately, the expedition was resoundingly unsuccessful. I later found out that our lack of success was probably because I was mistaken about when the cricket league meets. They play Sunday mornings, not Saturday mornings. We'll try again tomorrow.

Okay, now there are multiple sirens and at least one car alarm going off. This is getting irritating. It is especially irritating in light of the fact that if I want breakfast tomorrow, I have to be up for seven fifteen mass. Seven fifteen in the morning, not at night. I have four hours, and it looks like I probably won't sleep until after mass and after breakfast at whatever Taqueria we're going to.
