  Family day today... not much got done. I went to pick up my brother from Stanford, and we went to an overpriced bike shop so he could buy a few spare innertubes and patches and a pump. Of course, he'd forgotten his wallet, so Jim now owes me $24. I looked around at all the bikes and marveled at how much the damn things cost. Who pays $4000 for a damn bike? This ain't the Tour De France here. I'd be willing to pay $3-400 ish, but that'd about be my limit, since there's a ton of extra stuff I'd have to buy along with it, ie helmet, lock, etc.
Right now I'm trying to burn a DVD. My family got a burner for my uncle for his birthday, and now it's my job to figure out how to make the damn thing work. Burning a data DVD would be easy, but burning a video DVD is proving more difficult. The tools they give you just aren't smart enough. Hopefully I'll be able to finish this damn thing in time to get to bed at a reasonable hour... as if it weren't already 2:20.
