so last night, i was flipping between the 8pm sportscenter and the AZN (asian) channel. AZN was broadcasting one of the _project A-ko_ movies. how many A-ko movies were there? does some anime buff know? anyways, this one had a reference to _kimagure orange road_ (KOR), which i found rather cool.
i used to be really into anime, and most specifically, KOR. i was in love with the character of ayukawa madoka, and my computer monitor was plastered with various shots of her. when i got my own server back at teralogic, i even named her "madoka." kind of pathetic, huh?
but nowadays, i equate watching anime with being lonely, especially when i watch the credits, which are paired with some j-pop song. i don't know why i make this connection, but maybe it's because i used to watch anime by myself, just like a lot of other lonely otaku's out there. *shrug*
so alan and ting are back, but it doesn't seem like i'll be able to see them that much. most of our meetings are during meals, but they gained so much weight on their alaskan cruise that they're back on phase 1 of the south beach diet, which is basically no carbs. and that translates to not being able to eat out. bummer. sigh.
during lunch in the cafeteria, i was surprised to see cwg (cute work girl) walk in. i waved and asked her how long she was going to be working here, and she said until the end of the week. now, those of you who read this blog back during early 2005 know that i had a major crush on her. but now, it's gone. i mean, i still think she's attractive, but i no longer obsess over her. which is good news, i think.
man, i have a lot of fat on my back. i can seriously pinch an inch there! it reminds me of the way a cat can carry its kittens by biting the offspring down on the scruff of its neck.
i would really like to go on a vacation. get away, you know? the problem is, i don't have a travel partner(s). i'm not the type to be able to go somewhere by myself; i'd get too lonely and bored, since i'm incapable of striking up conversation with strangers in a strange land. but yeah, i'd love to be somewhere that's not the office.
i might go to taiwan, though, to see my mom. i think she's doing better, but she's not well enough to live on her own in dallas; she needs my dad to take care of her. poor mom. i hope she gets healthy soon.
anyways, hump day is almost over. tomorrow, i need to get some work done. i'm such the king of procrastination.
take care, folks! i'll see you tomorrow.
