Orcutt Ranch

Today I decided it would be a grand idea to travers the 3 miles up hill to Orcutt Ranch on rollerblades.  Rather than take the most direct route I took random streets and slithered around the area with my usual amount of curiosity. I found and took pictures of streetsigns and found but did NOT take pictures of girls from a dance studio selling cookies.

When I finally arived at Orcutt Ranch I found the place to be full of citrus trees and relaxing sitting areas surrounded by some very old trees.  I enjoyed the fruits of my labor in the most literal way one can imagine. Sinking my teeth into a plump grapefruit and going about with a large branch swatting it around like a child.

I want to go again sometime. Its such a romantic place and I regret not taking advantage of it before.

Strange but Comfy  chair

I spent much of my time relaxed in this chair writing and by writing I mean typing on my tiny cell phone.

Scary tree

There was this creepy tree.  Part of me wanted to climb up into its mouth and sit there for a little bit, I decided that was a bad idea. People were watching me you see.

Pull up Problems!

So I stuffed my backpack to its brim with books until I could fit no more and then I did pull ups with it.
Oh boy this is easy I said to myself.
Then I weighted it. Motherfu-
Only 15 pounds what a joke.
It looks like I’m going to have to buy weights unless I can figure something clever out.

Oh wait I think I found a solution in my backyard. (Thanks to Laurina Koerner for the idea to use bricks)

The morning was a fine one. I woke up on my own with the sunrise and headed downstairs to make breakfast.
I cooked scrambled eggs with sliced vegetables and sausage, with herbal tea on the side and a smoothie for the coming heat.
I don’t have a soldering iron so when my headphones broke I tried using my blowtorch and needle to get the job done.
Heat a needle to its melting point, then use it to press the wire into the solder on the electrical plate.
Shit didn’t fly at all.
The stainless steel needle would cool down too much before I could apply it.
So with my needle being ruined(the tip kind of melted) I decided: oh what the hell and tried using the blowtorch on the headphone.
That didn’t really solve anything but it was fun.

So it looks like I’ll be ordering a new pair of headphones, a new needle (it’s a special tool kind that has a long handle) and a soldering iron.

Also I found this morning my math book finally. Some asshole (possibly me) thought it would be a good idea to push it under my drawers. I fell down on my knees and screamed: FUCK MEEEE FUCK MEEEEE FUCK MEEE as I had spent so much time and effort looking for the damn thing only to finally find it now.

Then I sat down to read a good short story of speculative fiction. “Repent, Harlequin!” Said the Ticktockman Glancing at the clock beside me the time ticked closer to my history class. But I just rolled my eyes back to the story I was reading. I would just run to school faster.

And I did.

I rolled into the classroom on my rollerblades just before the teacher called my name to hand me back my test.

It was a good morning.
