10 Got to work late 'cause my alarm was busted
The boss chewed me out and everybody's disgusted
'Cause it's just one of those days
It's just one of those days
I lost one of my socks in the drier
I can't find my wallet and my hair is on fire
Just one of those days
It's just one of those days
I just wrapped my Cadillac around a tree
A big swarm of locusts is following me
There's not even anything good on TV
It's just one of those days
It's just one of those days
Left all my Beatles records out in the sun
Got a Coke bottle stuck on the end of my tongue
It's just one of those days
Gonna be one of those days
The Nazis tied me up and covered me with ants
And I spilled toxic waste on my brand new pants
Just one of those days
Ever have one of those days?
The bank called me up and told me I'm overdrawn
Some freaks are burnin' crosses out on my front lawn
And I can't believe it, all the Cheetos are gone!
It just...just one of those, one of those days
Just one of those, one of those days
The F.B.I. has got a tap on my phone
Those darn Russian spies won't leave me alone
Shouldn't have got up this morning, shoulda known
It's just one of those days
It's just one of those days
A 747 crashed into my den
And there's nothin' but tater tots for dinner again
It's just one of those days
Never mind, it's just one of those days
Big steamroller just ran over my mom
And I cut myself shaving and they're dropping the bomb
It's just one of those days
That's all, it's just one of those days
Then late at night, just before I go to bed
The world blows up and now everybody's dead
You just can't deny it, it's just like I said
Just...just one of those, one of those days
Just one of those days, one of those days

I used to have a theory that this page would contain a daily (or at least frequent) account of my life at Stanford University and elsewhere. This was inspired by the pages of high school friends Mike Bostock and Gwen Shen, who manage to do this.
I never did get around to doing this, although I had this page here for nearly two years with an "an day now" sense to it. I turns out that, not only did I never get the time to set it up, but my life is such that anything I'd like to write down is not something I'd want anyone else to actually read.
I also used to have a daily schedule of my classes. But I kept forgetting to update it, so it would be several quarters out of date. And after I got fragged in a game of Assassin because people knew where I was thanks to the schedule here... well, it's gone now.
Why is this page still here then? As a reminder to those who frequent web pages that "under construction" can sometimes mean "ghost town". And because I like the random song lyric. And because maybe someday I'll decide to actually put some useful information here.
