i am dreaming (literally the case last night) about mongolian bbq. hopefully we'll go there tomorrow so i can get my fix.
a major issue was being debugged in my cube just now. it was a performance issue. and these things are some of the most frustrating things to debug; it's not like things aren't working, but they're just working too *slowly*. and it's hard work finding out where the problem is.
anyways, my boss thanked me twice for helping with the debug effort, which felt good. he doesn't compliment me enough, but then again, maybe it's my own doing. hehe.
from 1997 to 2000, my salary jumped 58%. from 2000 to 2004, it fell 5%, and has not changed since 2001. what the fuck, man?
during basketball today, charles asked me, "what happened to your hair?" hehe. yeah, my hair hasn't been very flattering of late... it's a fuzzball, partially because i don't gel it up very often, and partially because i'm overdue on a haircut. i think i'll get it cut this weekend. (it's been over a month.)
so back to girls wearing nothing but a buttondown: i may or may not add a pair of black stacked heel penny loafers. then i get TWO fetishes in one! *cheer* oh, and btw, the shirt is buttoned; *i* want to be the one who unbuttons her. :)
hungry. wondering what i'm going to eat tonight. these days, i crave very specific things, even though i may be starving. high on the list at random times are: 1) pizza, 2) chinese food with rice, 3) a burrito with lots of garlic. the problem with #3 is that there's only one place i know of that has it, and i usually get the burrito with steak, which i don't eat anymore. *RAAR*
"girls in buttondowns naked"
ah, one of my favorite things. though i don't think i've ever had one dress up wearing nothing but a buttondown, but hey, one can always STRIVE. and i have plenty of good oxford shirts that would work! for example, the last white ben sherman with blue accents would do nicely. :)
nothing much more to say on this topic, except that i like it. ok, more later.
nothing much going on today. except, can i say, that sleep is WONDERFUL in these chilly mornings. although, i sort of feel guilty saying that sleep is the thing i look forward to most throughout the day. sounds kind of morbid, doesn't it? (cue the smiths's "asleep")
i felt really bad watching parts of _the swan_ last night. fyi, the show is a beauty pageant where they take "homely" girls and put them through a full-on cosmetic surgery enhancement process. stuff like facejobs, liposuction, cardio training, diet, etc.
and one more thing they put the contestants through was... therapy. yep. both women featured last night had such horrible self esteem that it was really sad to hear them talk about themselves. and it really bothered me to realize that a person's looks (or lack thereof) could affect someone so much. sigh. life isn't fair, huh?
in the end, one of the girls was like, "i'm so happy that i went through this. it just shows you to never give up hope and someday, your dreams will be achieved." ??? what dreams? to be "found" on a bizarre reality tv show and given tens of thousands of free treatment and cosmetic surgery?
egads.
