i had a run-in with cute work girl's coworkers during lunch. i made a snippy remark about them shunning the cafeteria food, which could have led to some more conversation, but william and i left before i could figure out what else to say. dammit, i missed out! i should have waited for her to come out and carry on more conversation. i hate it when i look back on a verbal exchange and feel like i should have done more. *sigh*
so the moving has begun. i helped out alan last night; he rented an SUV in exchange for bringing his car into the shop, and i helped him move his two big TV's and some other stuff. *sniff* i'm going to miss him (and ting) when they're gone. the reality of it all is settling in. i'm going to be alone. :(
ting made a comment like, "you guys don't get much quality time in," referring to the times when he's working and i'm watching television. but even though we're in the same room and not talking, it still is comforting to know that alan is *there*. oh well. hopefully alan and ting don't disappear like the other couples once they're gone; i'll be sure to hound them to hang out.
not much going on today. my neck still hurts like a motherfucker. and i'm meeting up with the yujster tonight for dinner and an exchange of cash for two stanford men's basketball tickets for saturday's game against oregon. $52 well spent for cheering on my alma mater.
i wonder if i should start buying lottery tickets. true, chances are, i won't win, but it's the *opportunity* of a multimillion dollar upside that makes me dream of someday becoming financially set for life. what a dream that is! i'd quit this job, find something i truly love to do, and go about doing it. now wouldn't that be nice?
anyways, i'm putzing around right now. dinner with yuji is at 6:15, and i'm debating whether i should just go home now or wait and go straight from work. too bad it's raining out there; it dampens my spirit.
so after alan moved his two tv's out of our place, my 27-inch (which was formerly in my bedroom) television is now the main screen downstairs in the living room. so what do i do for sleeping with _sportscenter_ on? i'm using my dinky 13-incher in my bedroom. it doesn't have a secondary input, so i can't watch my porn in my room anymore! shucks.
hm. i have half an hour to kill. *ponder*
i wish love were more often than not a mutually felt emotion. that would simplify my life a lot. :/
