so, having watched the final _star wars_ film (assuming george lucas doesn't film episodes 7-9), i feel a sort of a letdown. basically, there isn't anything to look forward to from lucas and his associates. and that is sort of a bummer, you know? like i said, if i were in a suicidal funk before, one of the main reasons why i wouldn't do the deed would be to see how _episode III_ turned out. crazy, huh? i must have my priorities fixed.
by the end of today, i will have drunk SEVEN vitasoy's. i think that's a record.
anyway, i spent part of today writing e-mails to girls that i haven't talked to in a while. i sent each one off with a wish and a hope that they will write back. slim chances, though, i think.
so i'm going to be in LA for the upcoming memorial day weekend. i am also taking friday off, so it'll be a nice 4-day weekend for me. *huzzah* i am worried, though, because my flights to and from LA are on these small propeller-powered planes. wish me safe flights, everyone! :)
which reminds me, i need to go home and try on my two suits and see how they fit. like i said, one will most likely be too small, and the other one will be too big. zoiks!
i am sort of itching to go speed dating again. i am just not meeting any new single women. i am hoping to meet some at the wedding this coming weekend, but i can't count on that. i realize that the only way i'm going to find someone is if i actively search. i know, they say that you find someone when you're not looking, but i think that may just be a crock of bullshit. idleness produces no results!
i am looking forward to dinner. yesterday, when paul and leeya took me to milpitas (or rather, gave directions to me as i drove them), we wound up at pho nam. and lo and behold, right next to it was a vietnamese sandwich place! so i happily bought two sandwiches for tonight's dinner... for a paltry $3.50!
you may not understand my love for vietnamese sandwiches. i love them so much that senior in high school, for a while that's all i ate for lunch. i would go to the vietnamese place in dallas, buy 5 sandwiches, and eat one of them each day of the schoolweek. of course, near the end of the cycle, the sandwiches would get a little stale, but they were still fabulous. *cheer*
yesterday, i took this weird dump. there were lots of "pieces," and each piece was like a sphere, like this big gumball. there must have been like 10 of them, and when i flushed, they would gather near the toilet's hole and block each other. in the end, i had to use a plunger to force them all through. odd.
ok, and i shall leave you with that imagery. so long!
so, friday night, i had dinner with alan and ting at pizza chicago. we got their most generic pizza (the fridge), which was good, but i think their specialty pizzas (the al bundy, great chicago fire) are better. especially when they're laden with bunches of roasted garlic. *yum*
saturday, i did my normal jamba juice/mcdonald's lunch, and took a nap in front of the tv. i woke up just in time to catch the preakness... i dunno, but there's something about horse racing that i find totally exciting. !!
so, the big event of the day was the erasure concert. the yujster came over, and we drove up to the city in my car. my parking karma is terrible in the city, but luckily, we found a spot only two blocks away.
we met up with yuji's friends, steve, jen, su-i and arnold. two married couples. they seemed nice. once we got into the club, we hit the bar. i had two jameson's on the rocks, and i drank them pretty fast, too.
luckily, there wasn't an opening band (as it was advertised to be), but we still stood around for well over an hour before the show began.
andy and vince are definitely getting older. i could see a little paunch in andy's belly, and he was sweating like a madman on the stage.

so you see, they played quite a lot of the classics. i was happy.
that night, though, without sportscenter to lull me to sleep, i finally fell asleep at 3am. damn.
sunday, i woke up at noon. i grabbed lunch, and once again took a nap on the futon. the only thing of interest i did was grab dinner with paul and leeya at pho nam in milpitas. and that was it for the weekend.
