hm. my project lead (cubicle neighbor) is thai, and she just gave me a thai treat. it tasted like slightly sugarized fried egg yolk. can't say that i liked it, but it was definitely interesting.
my stiff neck came back in full force today. i found it hard to rotate myself in bed this morning without painful spasms shooting down my neck and shoulder. shit! normally, i'd set up another appointment with my chiropractor, but i don't want to face him and have him lecture me about going on that no-carb diet. :(
i had something rant about today, but i've forgotten what it was.
does being older make a person more susceptible to digestive tract problems? i've noticed that in the company bathroom, a lot of the older men have a lot of gas and diarrhea. hm.
anyways, not much to write about today. i'm going home soon, and i still haven't figured out a way to talk to cute work girl. ok, the problem is, she works in a conference room with other people, so there's no way to catch her by herself. and i am NOT just going to waltz in there and ask her out in front of her coworkers. that's death!
and every time i see her, she's flanked by coworkers, even walking to and from lunch in the downstairs cafeteria. so basically, i'm fucked unless i want to make a fool out of myself and put her in a difficult spot too.
so who's your pick for the super bowl? i like both teams, so this year, it's going to be hard to root for anyone. maybe i'll just sit back and enjoy the game this year without taking sides. i hope there are some good commercials this year, too.
last night, i put some icy hot on a region between my left shoulder and the left side of my neck. it HURT. like, it felt like the region was on fire. how is this supposed to help my aching stiff neck muscle?
it reminds me of this one time when i was much younger, and i read about putting tiger balm on one's penis somehow being pleasurable. so i found this similar stuff (it was called like white lotus balm or something), and i put some on my schlong. damn, that was an excrutiating hour or so afterwards. nothing could stop the burning! i even took a shower, but it did nothing to help ease the crotch fire that i had going.
anyways, so that was an embarrassing story. and it concludes my blog entry for the day.
sigh, an era is over. this was the last weekend that i had with alan and ting, who are moving out next weekend.
friday night, we had a quick bite at subway before they headed up to the city for a housewarming party. i stayed home and watched some NBA action; the suns/spurs game was pretty good, except for the suns losing. why do i root for the suns? because they have steve nash from my mavericks. he's a good scrappy player, and some say he's an MVP candidate.
saturday, i woke up at 1:30 and watched stanford narrowly beat USC down in LA. it was a good game, too, and i'm glad that we seem to be playing well.
then, it was off to the mission district in the city for peter's birthday dinner at cha cha cha. i called it, though, as alan, ting and i sat at one side of the table and talked amongst ourselves while the rest of peter's medical doctor friends gabbed it up. we felt pretty out of place, which was amplified even further by the horde of people who surrounded our table. we should have been only able to seat 9 or so, but there were way more than a dozen people packed into the space.
i wasn't impressed by the food, either. peter was nicely drunk, and i'm just glad that he had a good time.
sunday, i watched both the NFC and AFC championship games. the teams i picked both won, so that was a good thing. but now, i don't know who to root for. eagles or patriots? i don't know. i just wish for them both to play their best, and may the better team win the super bowl.
our final dinner together was at sneha. truly the end of an era, as i said. i told alan that i would have gladly paid extra in rent to keep him around until june, but he said it was just wrong in principle. i suppose so, but that just goes to show how much living with him means to me. sigh.
