tragedy

i dont know what i'm going to do. my blender quit on monday when i was making a smoothie and there were burn marks under the pitcher near the blade when i took it off. the smoothie was done so i just thought oops and figured it would be ok. nope. i had a whole bunch of stuff in there blender this evening. i was ready for an awesome smoothie but my blender is toast. i dont know what to do. can i fix it? no idea how. new blender? i dont think i treated the blender badly. maybe you cant leave it running for more than a minute at a time? i would leave it run for two maybe three minutes at a time. i guess thats too much. shit this sucks.

i also decided that portland state university is not a real university because they have ZERO outdoor basketball courts on campus. IU had them all over the place. indiana has a thing for basketball thats true but you would think that PSU would have an outdoor court somewhere. i tried to go to the Campus rec center at 9:20 but it was closed. summer hours. open til 8:30 or some gay shit like that. so i dribbled my ball around campus looking for some sign of a basketball hoop to shoot on but i was out of luck. i'm starting to get some band handling skills though which is good. but my shot is sucking lately. i played for about two hours this afternoon and this dude showed up and i played some one on one with him. the main problem was that he was often more concerned with telling me about how the people who give him food at the portland mission are drugging him because bill gates is their main contributor and gates is threatened by him than playing basketball. he told me many similar stories like how the people from titleist paid people to drug him because he was the best golfer (ok top 5) in the world and he couldve been better than tiger woods. anyway he did play some ball and his shot was better than mine and overall i enjoyed playing with him even if he couldnt just shut up and play some fucking basketball. he did give me a good tip about arm extension on my release which i may not have realized otherwise.

anyway i'm really bummed about my blender and i'm going to have to figure out something soon because i need my green smoothies and my coconuts. until i have that this blog cant really go back to the detailed list of my daily menu and so forth. i hope if i go back to the court tomorrow there are other people there. maybe i'll try the rec center during the day instead. its much better to be outside but i guess you take what you can get.
