floating fat
to the bashful "reader" who recommended halu ramen: i went there today for lunch, and i didn't exactly enjoy their ramen. 1) it was too fatty, as there were bits of pork fat floating all over the place and 2) it was too salty. fyi, i got the halu ramen with cha-shu. oh, and the noodles were too hard.
i think i'm sticking with ryowa, until i visit santa in san mateo.
so today started out stressfully. it turned out that for padded packets, i was doing the checksum wrong, i.e. i needed to terminate the calculation before the padding started. i thought this was really tough, and it totally stressed my ass out during lunch and afterwards.
but, it turned out to be a half an hour fix, and now i'm back to where i was! *flex*
i'm looking forward to the weekend. i have no plans whatsoever, even less than in previous weekends, so we'll just see what happens. i do want to take some pictures, though; i haven't posted up one of my own photos in ages, huh?
i was ticcing very very HARD during lunch today. people must have been staring at me, a realization that i haven't felt in a long long time (years). i wonder what my coworkers think when i break out in to an epileptic fit. :/ it must freak them out, i bet.
the most beautiful face
yesterday, we received our copy of _FHM_ magazine, and along with it came a bonus spread of their "top 100 sexiest women."
i looked through it, and most of the women were forgettable. some were kind of pretty, others were like, "so what?" some of my favorite nubiles were in there, though, people like natalie portman and keira knightley.
but there was one face in there that i just couldn't stop staring at, because it was so striking...
#85 rachael leigh cook!
yep. i love this girl. she's soooooo captivating! i don't know what it is, but i must have reopened the spread like four more times just to stare at her. i mean, she doesn't have a hot body (a cute body, though), but her face... man oh man.
sigh.
thursday night television
so last night, mtv was showing this extreme makeover episode called "i want a famous face." basically, this guy was OBSESSED with jlo. but he didn't just obsess over her, he wanted to *BE* her. yup. the guy was a transsexual of some sort.
so he got some plastic surgery to lower his hairline, get cheek implants, a C-cup boob job; they showed the surgery, but it made me queasy so i changed the channel. but i couldn't stay away from the show! he looked totally gruesome after the surgery, sort of like a feminized marilyn manson. ick.
it's amazing what people will go through to "achieve their dreams." i mean, this dude was born a man, but he was convinced he was a woman, and not only that, a jennifer lopez wannabe. scary that medical technology can let people do that nowadays.
also, when (during _the apprentice_ finale) did the show switch from being taped ot being live? it was seamless! and congratulations to bill, although i think he's going to be little more than a figurehead in overseeing the construction of that huge building/hotel.
