eating a lot of junk today. first was a cup o'noodles, followed by a grape jelly sandwich, a small box of cinnamon toast crunch, one peanut butter cup, and now a snickers kudos bar. damn these useless calories!
i'm sort of excited about my new tires. supposedly, they're quieter than the michelin ones. fancy that! a smoother, quieter ride!
a little less conversation, a little more action please
all this aggravation ain't satisfactioning me
here's a short (maybe incomplete) list of food that i've overdosed on:
1) prunes. ate a bag and spent the rest of the day on the shitter with diarrhea.
2) milk. i drank about a half gallon during dinner and once again, diarrhea.
3) gummy bears. ate half a 3-pound tub and puked in colors of the rainbow.
4) winter melon candy. ate a small tub and puked again
5) garlic. ate a clove raw, and it burned a hole in my stomach all night.
as you can notice, most of the results involve excrement from some orifice or another. and the motto, as expected, is: MODERATION IS KEY.
i guess i should add:
6) haldol (an antipsychotic med). i started hearing things and kept falling down.
yeah. drugs are amazingly powerful things. all i had was like 4mg!
hm. i've got 90 posts (not including this one) and 96 comments. i'm trying to keep a 1:1 ratio, so that means i've got a lot more posts to write! don't think i'm going to make up for it today, though. :)
i know what eric means about complainy, whiny people getting really annoying. i am one of those whiners. or at least, i have been in the past, and i certainly have the potential to be one in the future.
the thing is, not only is whining annoying, it causes more stress. and being a blatant walking ticcing barometer of stress, i can tell you with 100% certainty that stress is bad for you. seriously, it'll *kill* you eventually, moreso than a bad diet or not exercising enough.
i'm not sure if i can help being who i am, though... my grandmother on my mom's side, along with my mom, are just nervous jittery people. they exude this unmistakable unanxiety when you see them. and i, too, follow in their footsteps, but in a majory amplified way.
sometimes i wonder if i'd be better off getting a frontal lobotomy. of course, i say this facetiously, but i do appreciate the fact that if i just stopped worrying about shit, then i'd be much happier. and little things like an ice cream cone or a chirping bird would make smile.
so today's task (verifying the learningProcessor changes) and tomorrow's task (verifying the MPLS ECO) are both done now. but i'm not telling anyone, and i'm just going to chill for the rest of the day.
no tennis today. sorry byron! last week, i was extra ticcy during our tennis outing, (like, i'd tic during the middle of a rally, imagine that!) and it was really uncomfortable, not to mention it made my tennis game suck more than it usually does. so tonight, i'm just going to do nothing.
i sound pretty weak and pathetic, huh? well, just thank your fucking lucky stars that you don't have TS. it sucks, yes it does.
i'm planning (that's the operative word) on getting to work early tomorrow so i can take off 2-4pm to watch the stanford game. go cardinal! *cheer*
it was amusing hanging out with four cal guys last saturday night. one of them gave me a friendly "fuck you" gesture when i told him went to his rival high school. and then he proceeded to give me shit about my college. but, funny thing is, once i told him i rooted for cal as well (unless, they were, of course, playing stanford), he gave me a sign of approval. go figure.
they sure take their rivalry seriously, that's for sure.
ok, more later.
so after an hour of doing research on tirerack.com, i bought my tires. bridgestone turanza-V's.
so can anybody tell me why michelin's are so expensive? at first, i was going to just buy the stock tires that came with my car, but they turned out to be $139 a pop! hm. and they were rated far less favorably than the bridgestone's. double hm.
anyways, i have to be at the tire installation place at the ripe hour of 8am next thursday morning. damn. i might as well get them installed and then go back to sleep. sheeiit!
so that's one less source of stress for me. i've been worrying that my tires would pop while driving. *knocks on wood* and with these new ones, i'll be all set! *huzzah* it's all about minimizing stress for me these days.
so. i finished my learningProcessor modifications and finished testing it out by noon today. huzzah. (it's a muted huzzah because i still feel the stress aftershocks.)
anyways, i'm glad that's over with. something about the block still bothers me, though; i have a place where i know if i change one word, i will introduce a bug, but i can't get the simulation to fail! *RAAR* shit like that hits deep.
the massage yesterday turned out to be a bust. they were extraordinarily busy, and i wound up getting a massage from someone other than my regular masseuse. it just didn't feel right, and afterwards, i got a headache! ugh. what a waste of $40.
i dropped to 186.8 today. granted, i only had a pear for lunch yesterday, and a small dinner afterwards. but now, i'm starting to wonder if my bad diet is contributing to my tics, i.e. a "bodily" sort of stress. hm. *ponder*
i need a vacation.
so _american idol_ last night was sort of tedious. i still think that john stevens's voice is very cool, despite sort of not meshing with the "soul" theme of last night. jasmine trias has got a great voice for a 17-year-old.
um, yeah. two hours in front of a tv watching people single is a bit hard to take. it reminded me of the a capella concerts that we used to go to back in school... i mean, the singing is nice and all, but two hours of it? it gets a bit tedious.
i guess yesterday was an all-time blogging low for me. only two posts! yeah, i was stressed, and after getting admonished by the VP himself (through my boss), i was just hesitant to pop up a windows browser and blog. and i was totally stressed over my learningProcessor changes too.
