i've been snacking today. i'm finally taking advantaged of the subsidized vending machine that we have. so far, i've down a small bag of bbq lay's, and a pack of gummy peach rings. that's a decent number of calories right there.
i'm hovering around 160 pounds right now, but i only had two meals the entire weekend, so i'm trying to make up for lost calories.
so the stanford men got an 8 seed in the ncaa tournament. that bums me out because it means that if we win our first round game, we'll have to go up against #1-seeded duke. it just looks really bleak. i think the same thing happened a few years ago, when we were an 8 seed and had to play kansas in the 2nd round. ouch.
and on the women's side, i'm disappointed and sort of shocked that they didn't get a 1 seed even though they're ranked #1 in the polls. what the fuck is up with that?
i've been avoiding going to see my chiropractor because i'm afraid he'll bug me about going on that no-carb diet. but he called me yesterday, and i made an appointment to see him on wednesday. on one hand, i'm sort of hopeful that he'll be able to work out the kinks in my (still) stiff neck, but on the other hand, i know he's going to ask me why i haven't gone on the diet yet. ick. i hate letting people down.
i still can't believe that a vagina can stretch wide enough to expel a baby. that is some crazy shit! if i were a girl, i'd be petrified of having kids. i am a wuss when it comes to pain. hence my fear of needles and knives/blades.
i don't know why i brought that up. hm. i think it's because a decent number of my college friends are having kids right now. i know that birth is a miracle of sorts, but realistically speaking, it frightens the bejeezus out of me.
speaking of vein-poppers, i get scared every time i take a dump that's hard to push out. after i wipe and put my pants back on, i flush very cautiously, eyeing the water level and trying to detect any hint of it rising. after i flooded the downstairs hallway a few months ago, i've just been paranoid of doing it again. shit water is so nasty!
one time freshman year, during our dorm ski trip, somebody flooded the toilet. i didn't get to see what was in the toilet bowl, so my first instinct was to help clean it up. we used our bare hands and paper towels to soak up the water. then, somebody lifted the toilet bowl lid, and i saw that it was filled up to the top with SPP. (that's shit, piss and puke.) i felt sick afterwards.
ok, enough of that talk. on to happier things!
i wonder what i'm going to eat tonight. i have a hankering for sushi, but i am in a cheap mood and don't want to spend the money. eating dinner during the weekdays is such a sad affair these days, now that i don't have any roommates around.
have any of you ever gone to a restaurant by yourself? i've done it a few times (back in college), and i always felt a little pathetic. i dunno. i guess i expect meals to be prime social interaction times. *shrug*
ok, i'm off.
wow, i pretty much wasted this weekend.
friday night, i joined alan and ting at togo's for a quick dinner before watching _hostage_, the new bruce willis flick. it was pretty bad, i have to say. afterwards, i went home and caught the end of stanford's loss to washington. oh well. we put up a good fight.
saturday was the biggest waste. i was up for a total of SIX hours. yup, i got up at 2pm, watched college basketball, and went to bed at eight. i had one meal, which consisted of a big mac coupled with a jamba juice smoothie.
sunday, i got up at 9:30 or so and met up with mike and the gang for a hiking expedition at portola redwoods park. we hiked for three hours, and it was a bit steep in places, and i was huffing and puffing at times.
i wish i could have enjoyed the hike more, but i was preoccupied with my tics the whole time. sigh.
we did have to wade across a creek. the bridges were moved out for some reason, and when we came back, we met the creek. so the option was hiking backwards for another 4 miles or so, or taking off our shoes and socks and just crossing the creek. i was tired, so i relented to the potential ugliness and waded across. it was quite an adventure!
i went home, took a nap, grabbed my only meal of the day (a la bamba burrito), and went to bed early.
