wish upon a time

i wonder why i always catch the 1.11 on my clock, but never times like 22.22, or 11.11, or 00.00, or 12.34, or 13.57, or whatever other sequential number you could think of.

maybe it's because i get into my panic mode around 1am and am therefore constantly looking at the time, thinking "OH CRAP IT'S 1AM ALREADY."

speaking of which,

...
...

OH CRAP, IT'S 1AM ALREADY!

i should go do my slides, final project presentation at 2pm tomorrow... or rather, today. bah, it's already today.

on a side note, have you ever noticed how the sentence "oh crap, it's already tomorrow" is always wrong, no matter how you look at it, while the sentence "oh crap, it's already today" is always correct, no matter how you look at it? if you don't agree, think about it. you'll never gonna arrive at tomorrow, because once you arrive at "tomorrow," then it's already been called "today." so if you want to be correct, always say "oh crap, it's already today." however, the sentence then loses its impact, because no matter when or where you say it, it's always today and never tomorrow.

some wise words from the conversation between dentarthurdent and slartibartfast:

"what does it matter? science has achieved some wonderful things, of course, but i'd far rather be happy than right any day."

"and are you?"

"no. that's where it all falls down, of course."
