Wow, the last time I posted here was the end of last quarter. Anyway, nothing is new here. Just been cleaning out my apartment preparing to move. I finally moved into graduate housing. That should cut my rent by over a half. Unfortunately though, I'll be paying rent at my old place and my new place, while living in Northern California. Good thing I'm getting paid decently this summer.

Ah spring break. Last quarter was rough. Next quarter is going to be equally rough. In other news, I went to Horton Plaza today after getting pounded by my architecture final. Horton Plaza is yet another Westfield shopping complex like UTC, Valley Fair, and former Sony Metreon. Anyway, it's time to get back to work...

Something bizarre happened yesterday. I was refueling at Chevron doing my usual routine.

1 Unlock and open tank
2 Slide card
3 Take nozzle
4 Select grade
5 Insert, pump, and lock
6 Wait and watch as the oil barons take your money
7 Unlock, shake, and put the nozzle back
8 Close tank
9 Take receipt

Everything seemed normal until it after step 6. Normally it just hiccups a little and stops pumping when the gas tank is full. Then you unlock it and all right? Well yesterday after it finished, it seemed to unlock itself, which caused the nozzle to fly backwards off my gask tank. It didn't just fall down, it literally flew a couple inches and continued to release gasoline. When it hit the ground it bounced around a little and continued leaking. After it stabilized, I quickly put it back and got the hell out of there. I didn't hear any explosions last night, so I guess my little encounter did no harm. Has this ever happened to anyone before?
