so friday, i was surfing orkut's list of vienna teng fans, and i randomly clicked on a girl's profile. i wrote her a little message, and she IM'ed me back. it turns out that she went to my high school! how fucking randomly cool is that?
anyways, just thought i'd share that with you. i love random encounters.
not so excited about monday night football tonight. broncos vs. the bengals. ho hum. but i still might cut out of work a little early to catch the game. at least it gives me something to do, right?
i actually smoke less on the weekends now. but then again, i realized it's because i wake up so much later, so there's simply less *time* to smoke. i've been having around 7 a day on the weekends, and half a pack during the weekdays. i must find a way to quit sometime, though.
it still amazes me that i was able to drop 40 pounds since last year. although, part of me wonder if my worsening tourette's (tics) is partially due to being malnourished or something due to my crash diet. it bugs me. i mean, i'd rather be fat and ticless than thin and ticcy, you know?
but damn, i looked horrible at 200. my face was all puffy and round! and not to mention my gut! ick. in the shower, i would stand up straight and look down and not be able to see my schlong. now THAT means fat!
basically, my life is one big tourette's experiment these days. i'm trying all these things (new meds, these funky chironeuro exercises) in a (vain, it feels) attempt to reduce my tics. and so far, nothing's working, not even the 4mg of haldol i take. and that frustrates me to no end. it's hard to stay positive during these times; i've been all ticcy since march! *RAAR*
is it a bad sign that the only thing that i have to look forward to in life is sleeping? there's something terribly morbid about that.
speaking of sleep, i've been waking up in the middle of the night less frequently. which bugs me, because i actaully *like* waking up, rolling over to look at the alarm clock, and realizing how much time i have left to sleep. it makes me happier, even if it does technically produce worse sleep quality.
i'm really enjoy this nipply weather, though.
i am excited to go home for thanksgiving now that i have some friends i can meet up with. now, the 4-day holiday seems too short! (although, technically, it's only for 3 days since i fly out early sunday morning.)
i had a bowl of pho last night, like i mentioned in my previous post. it was so fucking good. remember that i've been avoiding beef, but once i walked into pho to chau and smelled the wonderful aromas, i couldn't resist. *smacks his lips*
ok, that's enough for today. random, useless thoughts.
once again, i did practically nothing this weekend. sigh. i must plan better!
friday night, we met up with peter and went to amici's east coast pizzeria on castro. the pizza was pretty good (this was only my second time there), but the crust was a bit burnt and i left feeling very unfulfilled.
saturday, i woke up at my usual 1pm and just hung around the house. watched some college football, part of the world series game 1, and had $7 worth of food at taco bell, which made me feel pretty sick.
sunday, i woke up at 1pm again, and this time, i was determined to leave the house. and besides, my cowboys were losing badly to the packers, so i gave up on them early and went house hunting with alan and ting. we saw one place in sunnyvale and then headed over to the rivermark. they have some nice townhomes there!
after that, we headed over to pho to chau for some noodles, which really hit the spot because the weather was kind of nipply. hehe. and that was about it for my weekend. pretty lame, i know. i don't even know what we're doing for halloween; no one has mentioned any plans, so next weekend might be just as boring. *shrug*
oh, alan and ting were supposed to go do muddy buddy (this race thingie in san jose), but because of the rain saturday night, they postponed it. of course, this didn't really make a difference for me because i wasn't about to get up at the ripe early time of 7am and go cheer for them. ha!
ok, i'll write more later.
