i was wondering about this: you know how suicidal people can park their car in the garage, close the door, and breathe in the fumes until they die? is that still possible in the age of cars with low emissions? do these cars produce enough carbon monoxide to commit suicide? hm. i wonder about that.
so i'm relieved. it turns out that person who was ignoring me on IM was simply too busy to chat. i dunno. i get paranoid really easily, wracking my brain on what i did wrong. but in this case, i'm glad that it wasn't the case. :)
ok. something weird just happened. i went to my friend's cube and checked out this site, and this week's entries showed up! but the one before this didn't. i'm thoroughly confused as to what's going on. he even did a refresh to make sure it wasn't a cached copy of my blog. *ponder*
i don't particularly like television commercials. the biggest gripe i have is that there are way too many car commercials. man, do that many people buy new cars in the US? seems like a waste to me. i plan on keeping my car until it croaks. i love my car, and i wouldn't trade it in for anything right now.
but, going back to commercials, i find some of them important. i'm not sure i can explain why, but commercials are *culture*. they promote certain values, and they carry with them a sense of what is important now in our society. do you sort of get what i'm saying?
i really need to stop smoking. this habit is now almost exactly 10 years old, and it's a nasty habit, i have to say. but the problem with quitting is that 1) i really do like to smoke, 2) i'm chemically addicted, i think, and 3) i need cigarettes to combat my tics. ugh. doesn't seem like i'm gonna quit, ne? especially with an excuse like #3.
i'm feel a little giddy right now. not sure why that is, though. maybe it's a combination of being friday along with the fact that the person IM'ed me finally. or maybe it's all the sugar i've been ingesting this afternoon. (dr pepper, vitasoy and one almond joy candy bar)
ok, time to post this and see what happens.
how weird. it seems this entire week's worth of entries just vanished into thin air. the movable type log doesn't show them ever being created. i find that very alarming.
anyways, last night's two hours of _the OC_ was just too much. too much dysfunction and too much drama. i had gotten used to the old formulaic OC, which consisted of some conflict and warm and fuzzy resolution at the end of the episode, but last night, man, shit just flew everywhere.
if any of you are in the area tomorrow night and want to see some good taiko (japanese drumming), come check out stanford taiko's spring concert. it's at dinkelspiel auditorium at 8pm. you should be able to buy tickets at the door. and if you do come, find me and say hi! :)
anyways, let me post this entry and see if it work. i'll write more later.
