Stardate 72101.8
The New England Patriots and Indianapolis Colts remained tied, the score 28-28 in the fourth quarter. The possibility exists, however unsettling, that Peyton Manning may be unable to finish what is perhaps the most important game of his career. It would be a shame if the man whom many regard as the best player at his position were not able to oversee what may be an eventual victory for the Colts, the team whose offense he has commanded since 1998.
As I type this entry, the Patriots are facing a fourth down, and have elected attempt a field-goal: the field goal is "good" from 28 yards, to take a 31-28 advantage. Peyton Manning will now attempt to guide the Colts back into the endzone, in spite of the apparent injury to his thumb.

Stardate 71901.9
It has both fascinated and horrified me to learn exactly how far some will go to be noticed. For reasons that aren't immediately clear, a classmate of mine has, since the start of this school year, insisted on asking elaborately detailed questions, so detailed in fact that they force the lecture to come to grinding halt, so that the professor has an opportunity to answer each question properly. And so I find myself asking my own question: Do people who constantly ask quesitons during lecture actually have questions, or are they simply attempting to draw attention to themselves? There is no way to know the truth, and I'm not certain that I want to.
I am contemplating another lap around I-465, in an effort to improve on the travel times I recorded last July 9 and August 12. I wonder if perhaps it would be worthwhile to change my starting point from the Meridian/96th Street on-ramp to one of the I-465/I-70 junctions, or possibly the 38th Street/I-465 exit, as this is only a short distance from my appartment complex. On the other hand, maybe I just stop thinking about this idea altogether and find something more constructive for which to use my time, when I'm not studying or sleeping.
I wonder how long it will take for Jen to find out where her mysterious stuffed bear came from.

Stardate 71701.9
If there's one important lesson I've learned during the course of my life, it is that one should never underestimate the stupidty of those around him, nor should he be surprised when said stupidity manifests itself, particularly while driving.
One of the unfortunate distinctions of being an Indiana resident means coping with individuals whose driving skills leave much to be desired. This is never more apparent than during the morning rush-hour, when everyone makes the commute from home to school, work, or wherever they need to be that day. However, not everyone realizes that he shares the road with thousands of other drivers, many of whom do not have the patience to wait as he watches a dead leaf blow across the pavement.
It is extremely irritating to find onself behind one of these people, yet there must be more than I realized, because it happens every day. Each morning, I am confronted with someone who does not understand that I too have somewhere I need to be, and that I cannot get there as long as he is blocking my path. I don't know what can be done about these people, but it must be done soon. I can't take much more of this.
