*phew* i made it to friday! yay! it's been a pretty busy week workwise, as you would know from reading my blog these past few days. but in an hour, i'm going to take off and embark on my weekend. edric IM'ed me, and we (and other people, too) are having indian buffet at sitara (my first time there), yogurtland, and then watching _hellboy 2_ in cupertino. to prepare for the indian buffet, i had only one plate of mongolian bbq in mountain view today. i don't really like their stuff compared to su's, but it's way cheaper, by about $5 or so, which is quite significant. su's will only be for special occasions for now on.

have you guys seen the cal band's videogame performance? it's pretty damn cool. watch it here. remember to click on the "watch in high quality" link. like i said, my coworker I was actually in the perfomance, which is very impressive. all that field choreography!

speaking of choreography, congratulations to wade robson (hummingbird and flower), shane sparks (transformers), and mandy moore (table) for their emmy nominations for last year's _sytycd_ series. i enjoyed all three of those dances, and i'm really glad i got to see those routines again on the tour back in november of last year. still, though, i am waiting impatiently to see dances of that caliber on this year's show. so far, there haven't been that many memorable routines, and i am wondering what's going on. this is going to be the deciding factor in whether or not i buy tickets to see the tour again.

i did not attend my company's sexual harassment talk yesterday. i think i am a good judge of what to say and what not to say in the office, and plus, i don't work near that many women. we only have one female VLSI engineer, and i don't talk to her much. however, at one of my other companies, i worked near one really sensitive woman, and she complained of the fact that we used to burp and fart. well, i didn't really fart that much, but i did burp, and she got offended. really? talk about a tight ass. hrmph. it wasn't like i was belching like a whale, either. i don't get people like that. loosen up!

last night, i fell asleep while watching tv in the living room. i was to drowsy that i couldn't even finish a cigarette. yeah, it was pretty bad. for a moment there, i even considering skipping my nightly shower, that's how sleepy i was. it was pretty bad. yes, i'm still taking my seroquel as a sleep medication, and damn, that drug is powerful. one of these nights, i'm going to skip my nightly 100mg and try to fall asleep without it. i really don't want to be dependent on it, and i think a large part of it is psychological. the other night, i puked after dinner (i think it was all the fried stuff i ate), and i think i threw up some of the medication, but i was able to sleep fine, so hopefully this will make me believe that i can fall asleep without the drug. we'll see.

do white people like yoshinoya? i tried to take I there today, but when i described the notion of "beef bowl" to him, he didn't seem to enthused. i wanted something light because of the impending indian buffet i was going to have tonight. next time i crave yoshinoya, i'll take him there once, and i'll see how he reacts to the food. i know it's not anywhere near gourmet or anything, but once in a while, it hits the spot. spicy combo, extra sauce!

i went on cameltoe.org, and i watched this video of a curvaceous brunette (both good things) girl named "kate" lathering her naked self up with baby oil. (btw, what is baby oil used for?) it was quite titillating. there's something about a girl whose body is all shiny and slick that turns me on quite a bit. another case where this happens is during hot, sweaty sex. of course, in the bay area, it rarely gets that hot, so i haven't experienced it that often. and in this video, "kate" has a completely shaved bush, which is a definite prerequisite for a baby oil video. i think a wet, nappy, dripping pubic thatch would be kind of nasty. when i get the chance, i'm gonna watch this video again.

yeah, i like shiny things. i like that sheen on a girl's legs when they're freshly shaven. i like it when a girl's eyes light up and twinkle when she smiles. and of course, those who know me well know that i have a fetish for silver objects. i dunno. i think we have a biological attraction for things that reflect light. is that why girls like diamonds and gems in general?

hm. i'm not sure i'm hungry yet. the prospect of making an indian buffet worthwhile to me is not good. i hope sitara isn't expensive. but if they have chicken makhani or bhindi masala, i'll try to eat as much of it as possible. and there's yogurtland afterwards! ugh. it might be another uncomfortable (and possibly yacking) night for me.

ok. 5:50. gotta go. early dinner, ready or not, here i come!

man, basketball was great today. i played well, which was very satisfying. my teams won all my games, i shot over 50%, and for my second game, my team blanked (and demolished) the other team (who had two good bigs) 7-0. we had phil, sathish, MJ, D, and i. we did everything well: passed, cut, shot the ball, and ran the fast break. the game was over before we even knew it. awesome. i say that i don't really care about winning, but it still feels good, especially because it means that we played well as a team. i felt so happy that i didn't even feel that tired afterwards, even though it was almost 2pm. hooray for good bball outings!

damn, i have a lot of work to do. every day, i'm working on something big. today, we had an hour-long meeting on this OD design and integration, and that's one of my next tasks. i'm not looking forward to it, because i have to change this one ugly complicated block (the pipe control) that i abhor touching. it's got some nasty twisted logic in it, and i have always resisted tampering with it. it took forever to verify, but this time, it's absolutely necessary that i go in there and add another stage to the pipeline. ugh. so yeah, i've been busy. and it's not going to stop until at least early/mid august.

why is grace such a popular asian name? is it almost always a religious name?

thanks jessica for the cell phone/shitting story! that was funny. i've dropped my keys in the toilet after taking a dump before. luckily, it wasn't diarrhea or anything, but just one or two very solid turds, so i was able to stick my hand in the water and fish the keys out without getting too much shit on myself. but man, when i dropped them, time seemed to slow down to a crawl; i was like, "nooooooo!" talk about panic. but in the end, it wasn't so bad. it never is, when you can wash your hands afterwards. plus, when it's your own shit, somehow it doesn't seem as horrible. why do we regard our own discharges/body parts as less gross?

have you guys had yellow kiwis before? last night, i ate two peaches and one kiwi in addition to the leftover jambalaya. when i cut open the kiwi, i was surprised to find out that it had a yellow flesh. also, i didn't taste as tart and sour; it was just bland and mushy. it also had much fewer seeds. hm. i don't know where the hell these fruits came from, but i'm not going to get them again. the only good thing about them is that at least they were organic.

so did you guys watch _sytycd_ last night? the switching up of the partners really did a number on some of the contestants. i think it hurt mark and kherington the most. they also got assigned some of the worst dances, so all in all, they fell flat on their faces. i think they're in trouble tonight. but man, will and katee! talk about a "dream team," as jay texted me last night. they were awesome. honestly, i think they were the only ones who could have pulled off that pas de deux. could you imagine gev or kherington doing that? comfort? ha! no, i didn't think so.

oh. weird thing. i was talking to a new guy at work today. well, he's not new, but he's visiting from the japan branch. we were smoking, and he introduced himself. after we finished smoking, we went upstairs, and when we parted ways, he gently laid his hand on my left ass cheek. yup! ASS CHEEK! it was very deliberate. it wasn't even like a sports-like macho ass slap, which i would still find odd. it was like a short, soft rub. i wasn't so much uncomfortable as i was stunned and confused.

at diana's birthday dinner, we were discussing import models like tila tequila, and kaila yu's name came up. i had never heard of her, so i looked her up. man, she's kinda nasty, too. (i do like her first name, though; starts with 'k', has 5 letters in it.) i looked at a few pictures of her, and through the thumbnails on google images, i gravitated towards one of her wearing glasses (go figure). but even in this one, she wasn't attractive, so damn, she really is a bit fugly. oh well, too bad.

my credit card bill for last month topped out over $3K. shit. i really need to go frugal for a while. of course, a lot of it was spent on my car (90K service, tires, tire service, smog stuff), but still, that's a lot of money. it will hurt to pay the bill off. i'm thinking about selling some of my loser stocks to lock in the capital losses and then buying them back in 30 days (to avoid the wash sale rules). i've never done that before, but i could use any financial break i can get.

ok. hm. i'm debating whether i should wait at the office for 20 minutes and get a free dinner or go out tonight. questions abound.

so this morning, i quickly whipped up a C program to convert a 30-bit concatenated text YUV pixel dump (with markers) into 8-bit separated Y, U, and V binary files. it was fun. i don't get to write software code very often, and i sort of miss it. i have to say that writing software is a bit more fun than writing hardware code, because it's more powerful and efficient; you get more punch per line. yeah, i should have gone the software route, i guess; there's more versatility and range of applications. hardware code is pretty much the same wherever you go, no matter whether it's graphics or networking, etc. i've had engineering friends who switched from hardware to software, and one thing they've said is that software is easier. hm. if it's easier, AND it's more fun, i wonder if it's not too late for me to change, too. remember when i wanted to quit my job and work for facebook?

yes, legs wrapped around you is very nice, too. i agree, it's a very big turn-on. one thing, though, is that the girl needs have legs long enough to do that; if she's too short, or you're too fat, then it doesn't quite work. also, when she closes her legs like that, then you can't penetrate as deeply as you can when she's got them spread wide open in the air. but yes, nice point.

i don't mind my readers pointing me towards interesting porn sites. however, i wouldn't open them at work, and my old computer at home (like a 7-8 year old iMac) can't handle videos very well. but if you're got something intriguing (no 2 girls 1 cup or pain olympics, please, for the love of god) to show me, then i'm all ears (and eyes). thanks! :)

so the cajun restaurant i went to last night (roux louisiana kitchen in santana row) was decent. one thing, though, that pissed me off was that a jameson on the rocks cost me $11 (including a $1 tip). damn, that's an expensive whiskey. the bartender gave me $5 too much back, and i was tempted to keep it, but my good scruples got the better of me, and i gave it back to him. the fried okra ($8) was tasty, and it was interesting because they cut the okra lengthwise, which was very unusual. the gumbo was good, and i was so full by the time my entree (jambalaya, $14) arrived that i ate a few bites and took the rest home. i'll be eating it for dinner tonight while watching _sytycd_.

while i was driving to santana row last night, i felt a crunch in my right ear. so i stuck my right pinky in there, and i felt some pieces of stuff in the canal. i picked out FOUR pieces of earwax. ah, the joy. they were very waxy and malleable, and they smelled awesome. (no, i did not eat them. i have never eaten my earwax.) i swear, i have overactive sebaceous glands. i do worry, though, that i am at the mercy of my ears. i want to pick out the stuff at my own will, but of course, this can never happen. i have some dissolving liquid from jay (after all, he has an ENT background), but i don't have anything to scrape out the stuff after i dissolve the stuff. oh wait. greg gave me a little poker stick thingie. hm. maybe i can try using that. but my nightmare is that i'll have all this gunk in my ear, and i won't be able to get it out.

tomorrow, we might have some pretty bad basketball players join us. i mean, these guys are like first-timers, with no experience. i don't mind this, but i wonder how the more competitive guys will take it. i hate competitive people who bitch and moan and complain and only care about winning. i mean, i enjoy winning, but i don't mind when i lose. these people yell at you when you make a bad pass, force up a bad shot, etc. why do people get like that? sports should be enjoyable, you know?

man, wells fargo stock jumped up 30% today, from $20 to $26. crazy, especially in this down market. i wish one of my stocks would do that. it would make me smile, which would be rare, given that my stocks are all in the shitter. at least the market went up a bit today; i gained back $2K in my portfolio, but of course, i'm way down overall. ok, yes, i'm looking long term, right?

i think my stomach's expanding. even after a large meal, i find myself getting hungry a few hours later. this is not good for me. last night, i weighed in at my heaviest in many months (>175lbs). RATS. i need to go on a diet again. it's not going to be easy, though, because i hate feeling hungry, especially when i go to bed. oh, and i need to tackle the fruit i bought this weekend. so far, i haven't even touched the kiwis, peaches and apples that i bought.

i'm already looking forward to the weekend. saturday, alan and ting are hosting a bbq at their new house (it'll be my first time there), and sunday is the mountain view obon (the one i thought was this past weekend), and friday night, edric and i might go see _hellboy 2_. and monday, i've already got lunch (william and charles) and dinner (jennie) plans. yay for being social!

today, on singlesnet, i got a flirt from a girl who was african-american and 4'5". first, i have never considered dating a girl who was black, and nor have i ever considered dating a girl that short. i mean, 4'5"? that is pretty ludicrous. would i have to get on my knees to kiss her? how would sex work? so i filed away the message, and i doubt i'll do anything about it.

speaking of height, i still haven't heard back from that 5'7" girl from eharmony yet. maybe she will never respond. too bad. she accepted the fasttrack request, so now we're on open communication status. i wrote her a quick message, but so far, it's been 2-3 days. we'll see.

i want to talk to that cute (but fobby) girl that's new at our office. any ideas on how to initiate conversation? (she's not in my department.) and coincidentally, tomorrow we're having a sexual harassment lecture, so i better be careful about what i say in case i do ever talk to her. i don't want to get fired and sued, you know?

i talked to I, the new guy here. he was in the cal marching band. he was actually in the performance where the band did all those video games! awesome. he said that they use a computer program to simulate all the performers to see if they'll run into each other and stuff. awesome. they practice every day for two hours. crazy dedication and commitment, man. i am impressed.

ok. past 6pm. i want to smoke and get out of here. i'm almost done verifying the reverse scan thing i implemented. i've done some good work these past few days at the office. *huzzah*

it's been a busy day at the office. i've got more on my plate than i can chew, so much so that i've actually postponed some issues until *next* week. ugh. i've got this new urgent feature that i need to work out; for some insane reason, we need to scan a tv backwards, from bottom up. who the hell decided to build their television that way? sheesh. the proposed code fix was easy enough (only 3 lines of code), but so far, i'm having a tough time getting it to work.

i am exhausted, too. i played basketball for the first time in two weeks, since city beach was closed last week and the thursday before that. we played three games to 11, and the last one was closely contested (we lost, 10-11). it felt good to get some exercise finally, but man, i am beat today. i have a slight headache, too, no doubt due to dehydration or something. i took two tylenol, but it's not working. ugh. i have diana's birthday dinner tonight, so hopefully i can feel better by then.

somebody opened a can of dr pepper, drank half of it, and put it back in the company fridge. that shit pisses me off. wtf? i took the can, poured out the remaining liquid, and threw it in the recycling bin. rude people who do shit like that should be shot. *grumble*

so sunday night, i chose to watch _hellboy_ (the first one) instead of the miss universe pageant. paul told me about it, and i decided to check out some pictures of some of the contestants. i didn't think the winner (miss venezuela) was that hot. i looked at some of the asian girls (korea, china, japan), and i didn't think any of them were that pretty, either. i saw one good picture of miss australia. anyways, i told paul to save his recording of the show, and maybe i'll check it out when i visit his place next.

last night, paul, nelson and i went to thai basil for dinner in downtown sunnyvale. i really like their pad see ew (they spell it "hew"). their sauce is tasty, and i like the fact that they put in a lot of garlic in it. i LOVE garlic. the dish is a tad small for $8.95, but the taste makes up for it. i think i'll go there more often for lunch, when it's hopefully cheaper.

to my commenter: a smog place is simply a place where you take your car to get a smog check. in california, car are required every two years to get one. they check for things like particulates and hydrocarbons and stuff like that, to make sure your car's not overpolluting the air. like i said, a lot of these places are shady, and it's easy to get overcharged. man, i really got fucked last time, when i paid $75.

i finally found someone to see _hellboy 2_ with! my good man edric is interested in going, and maybe we'll try to see it friday night. i get to ogle selma blair, in her short hair and blue pyrokinesis and everything. yay! hopefully everyone else will be cramming the theaters to see _the dark knight_, leaving the the theater empty for us two.

i get really nervous (and intrigued) when somebody searches for my first and last name and finds this blog. i check all of my referral logs, and i can see what search phrase each person uses. so when somebody searches for my full name, i figure that they must know me or something. what if it's a coworker? what if it's my boss? what if it's a hot girl? if you found this blog, and you're a friend, let me know and say hi! *waves*

so the facebook friend who deactivated her account signed back on again. she said facebook was kind of "scary." (for example, my brother closed down his account a few months ago.) i don't understand why it would be so. i think fb (and other social networking sites) are awesome. they let you keep in touch with long lost friends, and they are a great place to keep track of people that you would otherwise lose contact with. just today, an old childhood friend found me, and that was very cool. hooray for fb!

i've often wondered if women minded hoisting up their legs in the air during sex. i mean, does it get tiring? do their abs/thighs get sore? i find it incredibly sexy when i see their legs gloriously splayed open like that (instead of the usual spread open with their knees up and feet on the bed), but i do worry that they get tired. and not all women are that flexible, either. (once, i had a girl exclaim that she needed to stretch for romping with me.) but i do appreciate the lengths that women will go to to please their partners.

so diana's birthday dinner is at a cajun restaurant in santana row. i hope it's good. i'm looking forward to some jambalaya and gumbo. will they have fried okra? or is that more soul food-ish? anyways, i need some whiskey, too; it's been a long day at the office. and no, i have never had crawfish, and i don't care to try it; those things kind of creep me out. i need to leave soon to get money, and i think i'll wear a club monaco shirt to the event.

amyM leaves for hong kong tomorrow. *sniff* i'm going to miss talking to her semi-regularly. she has skype, but with the time difference and her being back in school, i doubt i'll hear from her much. maybe i'll visit her when she's on break, but we'll see about that. i'd definitely love to visit china. i hope when she comes back, we won't be distant; i've had friends who've gone to school and return, and we don't talk anymore. :(

ok. i gotta go. need to take care of some stuff, and then it's off to dinner. jen (the organizer) has already warned us that we can't be late, and with santana row parking, you just never know.

so here's a little ditty that i saved for the start of today's entry. sunday morning, my morning dump was very miniscule. that didn't make much of an impression on me, but it had major consequences later on. after having brunch with alan and ting at stacks in redwood city (which is not close to my home), i had a smoke right afterwards after i got into my car. that set off a dump in my bowels, and i must reiterate, i was *not* close to home. so i drove well over 10 miles on the highway with massive pressure and pain on my sphincter. i mean, it was BAD. i squirmed the whole time, i tried focusing on the music in my car, and i had to exert every force in my kegel muscles to not lay a turd right there in my automobile. there was a time when i almost gave up and was going to shit in my pants and just resign myself to cleaning my clothes (and my car) afterwards.

by the time i got home, i was spent, and didn't even take off my shoes as i rushed to the bathroom, and the instant my butt hit the toilet seat, my ass EXPLODED into this massive diarrhea release. it was probably the most satisfying and cathartic shit i have ever taken. i have had orgasmic pisses before, but never before have i ever had an orgasmic dump like this one. i groaned a sigh like no other after it came out, and it was so good and relaxing that afterwards, i had a post-shit cigarette. yes, it was just like sex.

on tv last night, i saw that arby's was having a 2-beef 'n cheddars-for-$4, so i knew what i was having for lunch today. and after those two sandwiches (and over 2,000mg of sodium), i had yogurtland. it wasn't actually that much food, but afterwards, i felt so stuffed that i puked in the bushes outside my office. twice. man. i haven't puked in a long long time. it felt good, though. for some reason, what came out was arby's and not the yogurt or mochi. how did the order of food intake reverse itself? *ponder*

there's a sort of cute girl who's new at work. she works in the finance or marketing department. she has cool glasses, and that's why she's cute; if she took the specs off, i don't know if she'd be good looking anymore. i walked by her cube twice today, but her computer orientation is such that she faces away from the cubicle entrance. rats. however, the second time i walked by, she was on the phone, and she had a fobby voice. rats.

i had a dream saturday night that i joined a startup, and it was bought for $20 billion. we were in the midst of celebrating when i woke up. i was so happy that i was going to get up and blog about it. oh, if it were only true. one of my startups actually REJECTED a $5 billion buyout offer. how stupid was that? idiot owners.

i've noticed that in the morning, my saliva is very viscous. when i spit, it doesn't detach and fly out; instead, it sticks to my lips, and it drips from my mouth. i spit a lot when i smoke (i think it's a habit i got from A back when we used to smoke out), so i've noticed this weird morning thing. maybe it's because my mouth is dry? *shrug*

there's a game show that's made just for me. it's called _hurl_. basically, people are forced to eat a lot, and then they get put in physical situations (like being strapped to a spinning wheel) that make them throw up. and the last one to puke wins $1,000. i mean, it sounds fun, but after a while, i bet it'll become boring. i bet if i went on that show, i'd be first to lose, with my penchant for yacking and stuff.

so i got matched with this eharmony girl. she looks ok, but what intrigues me is that she's 5'7". that's a good height. (of course, it'd be even better if she were 5'10".) tall(er) girls are hard to find, so i'm going to talk to her and see how she is. we'll see how it goes.

i finally got 200 friends on facebook! well, i actually had 201, but one friend disappeared. i found out who she was; she deleted her profile for some reason, and i e-mailed her just a few minutes ago to ask why she did that. lucky #200 was a high school friend of mine, angela. i found out that some of my high school friends are going to kevin's wedding in october. i'm really excited to see some of them again because i haven't seen them in like 16 years!

google phrase of the day: "should i find it weird that my boyfriend gets a boner when we hug"

ha! sounds like a physically sensitive guy. i wonder how long he lasts in bed. and how old he is. when i was like 14, i would bust a chub when i slow danced with girls in chinese summer camp. i mean, our bodies weren't even touching and stuff! and that was a good thing, otherwise the girl would be like, "wtf?" and run away, screaming. the next year, though, i think i was "healed." i remember when jessica and i slow danced, we were be practically hugging the entire time, and no boners for me. *phew* maybe it was all the wanking i got under my belt by then.

over the weekend, i watched a bit of USA women's softball team. jennie finch was pitching. you know, i don't usually like blondes and all, but there was something a bit hot about jennie finch. i found some swimsuit pictures of her, and those aren't really sexy or anything. but put her in a softball uniform, her hair in a ponytail, and have her firing a 60mph softball, striking out a batter, and that's pretty damn hot. i don't know why. maybe it's the fact that she's so dominating. does that say something about me? :)

i also watched VH1's "top teen stars" countdown. #3 to #1 were britney spears, rob lowe, and molly ringwald. ah, molly ringwald. i loved all three of her movies (were they all by john hughes?). i don't like molly personally, but those films were all great. and throw in _st. elmo's fire_ as well, although that one was at 20-something movie.

and to round out the tv trilogy, i really liked selma blair in the first _hellboy_. i like selma blair overall, but that pyrokinesis thing (especially a *blue* flame) is a turnon. and in the second installment of the series, i like her short hair. but her best hair was when she was a guest star on _friends_, when chandler was in tulsa, and she tried to seduce him. even shorter hair. god, i love short hair on girls. and of course, who doesn't love a hot girl coming on to you? hot damn!

ok. almost time for that 6pm smoke. hooray! almost done with monday work!

for the most part, i had a rather low-key weekend. for most of my meals, though, i did travel far and wide for my food.

friday night, leeya was craving taiwanese food, for she, paul, mikeC and i went to southland. mike and i weren't very hungry, though, so we split a combination fried rice (no pork liver). mike ordered the salt and pepper prawns, but i did not partake. the guys ate the prawns (with shell and head) whole, and i just don't get how you can digest the stuff. it's tough stuff! afterwards, we had yogurtland. the line wasn't too bad, but after we got our yogurt, a ton of people came.

then, we went back to paul's place and watched his satellite tv. we caught the last 45 minutes or so of the new _rambo_. the ending was so gorgeously violent that i wanted to laugh. i mean, you had people with their heads exploding, bodies cut to pieces by bullets; it was just comically ridiculous. it put already violent movies like _starship troopers_ to shame. then, we watched _eddie murphy raw_, which reminded us how comically brilliant he used to be. nowadays, he does stupid films like _norbit_ and the upcoming _meet dave_ (i'm already assuming it's stupid). well, at least he was good as donkey in the _shrek_ series.

saturday, i met up with D at pho kim long at noon. good thing i got there first, because right after i got seated, 15 or so people arrived, and the line stretched out to the sidewalk. we both for the glorious #27 dish. ah, wonderful, wonderful food. after i got home, i watched some _scrubs_ episodes, and then it was time to go to the obon.

so i parked like a quarter of a mile away from the buddhist temple, and as i walked to the site, i was like, "hm, why aren't there any cars here?" my heart sank as i realized that the temple was empty. i got the wrong date! so i called up barden, and yup, the obon was indeed next week. stupid me. so i got my car smogged instead. i had a $20 off coupon, but for some insane reason, they said that it wasn't valid. so i got charged $45. (two years ago, i paid $75). either way, these guys are shady, and they fuck you.

for dinner, i met up with jay and margaret at downtown san jose at gombei. i totally forgot that *they* were having their obon, so i wound up parking a mile away. and when we got there, gombei was closed. ARGH. obons really fucked me over on saturday. so we ate at tsugaru instead, and it was decent, i guess. nothing really special about the food, except that they gave me a generous portion of tempura sauce, which i liked. afterwards, jay and margaret gave me a ride to my car.

after dinner, i joined paul and leeya at fu lam mum, where they were eating. i didn't eat or anything, but we discussed our possible vacation. they were thinking london/scotland/ireland. i threw out greece, so after they ate and we went to tap ex, leeya and i looked at tour trips to the greek islands. man, it ain't cheap. to be honest, i'd rather to to the UK because i'm a city guy. i know greece is beautiful, but island hopping isn't really my thing.

sunday morning, i got up at 9:30. jay and margaret couldn't join us for brunch, so i just drove up to redwood city and met up with alan and ting at stacks. ah, stacks. i got the chorizo omelette, which was very tasty. after i got home around noon, that was it as far as human contact went for the rest of the day. i took a nap, watched tv, and smoked. sigh.

i called up paul for dinner later on, but he wasn't hungry, and by the time 8:30 hit, he still wasn't hungry, so i just went out and got some jack in the box and watched the first _hellboy_ at 9pm on FX. i actually enjoyed it. i thought selma blair was cool, with her pyrokinesis and all. i would actually go and watch the _hellboy 2_ if i could find somebody to go with me. (D refuses to go.)

and that was it for my weekend. btw, that 1920x1200 panel thing i was debugging all day friday just worked at the office. I AM THE FUCKING MAN! :)
