no advancement

man. my tics aren't getting better; i had hoped that resting for two days would have *some* sort of ameliorating impact, you know? :(

anyways, today is just another monday. *blech* i am trying to run some simulations with my modified testbench, but it seems to be hanging early on. *RAAR* i'm not sure how to go about debugging this.

not looking forward to _american idol_ tonight. or ever. i'm not sure what the problem is with this season as compared to last year... i guess there just isn't anybody that i really liked, like john stevens. this year, my take on it is that it's just a glorified karaoke competition. *shrug*

on saturday, i got these fried zucchini slices at carl's jr. i had previously imagined them to be deep-fried nuggets of goodness, but reality proved that my expectations were way too high. they had this weird sweetness to them, and the ranch sauce they provided just didn't add to the flavor at all. oh well.

i'm really nervous about stanford basketball. they lost by one point to oregon state last thursday, and barely squeaked by (a two-point win) oregon on saturday. the announcer kept on saying that stanford had to win out (including the pac-10 tournament) to make the big dance, and i sincerely hope that's not the case.

because of cwg, i haven't played basketball in about two months. instead, i go down to lunch at the cafeteria, hoping i'd catch a glimpse of her getting food. sigh. i am such a loser; this seems more like a junior high crush than anything else. heh.

i am having problems dealing with my current living situation. i mean, i sort of like living alone and not having anyone bother me (not that alan or ting "bothered" me), but i can't afford paying for the full rent every month. sigh. what to do?

i just wish that i still had one more stanford buddy that would live with me. the prospect of finding a new random stranger to be my roommate is sort of sketching me out. what if they're psycho? what if they're super-social and have people over all the time and i can't get my lounging time in? what if they're messy and leave their shit all over the place? the list of questions goes on.

anyways, this will have to sort itself out in the near future. i'm just sort of unsure of what to do right now.

i haven't taken a dump in two days. either i'm terribly backed up, or my body is super-adept at absorbing everything that i eat. somehow, that second option doesn't seem too likely, leaving me with a bad result.

ok, that's enough for today. i'm gonna IM cwg soon. wish me good instant messaging karma!

two days of absolutely nothing

for most of you, my weekend was wasted, but i badly need some rest and relaxation because of my increasingly aggravating tics. i was horizontal for most of the weekend, watching tv and taking naps. i hope my legs don't atrophy from not using them.

saturday, the only thing i did of note was watch stanford play a lackluster game and win by two points against oregon. it was a tight game, and it left a bad taste in my mouth. i was supposed to go drinking afterwards, but i got in this really antisocial mood, so i bailed. oh well, next time, i guess.

sunday was more of the same; saturday night, i was in bed for 17.5 hours, and i felt groggy the whole day. i watched some college basketball, took a nap on the futon, and later met alan for some pearl milk tea after he got back from LA. he was the only "live" person i saw the entire weekend. sigh.

anyways, i have got to get these tics under control. otherwise, i'm going to have to take more weekends off like this. yuck. *RAAR*
