so in 2003, i placed 38 orders to amazon.com (for music). in 2004, i placed two, i think. well, today, i put in an order for 5 cd's. i got an old album by massive attack, and the new cd's by thievery corporation, morcheeba, nine inch nails, and oasis. i hope they're good!
i'm burping up leeks. i don't mind, though, because i rather like leeks, and tasting them over again is sort of a neat thing i enjoy. for lunch today, 4 of us met up at chef liu's on castro in downtown mountain view. it was my first time at the new location (they took over what used to be maharaja), and i was surprised that lunch could be had there for $6 (that's including tax and tip!). i got the shrimp/leek dumplings. yum.
august is here. motherfucker. this year is flying by. and it also means that this saturday, i'll be at my friend jan's wedding reception. the invitation says "dress for summer dancing." what the fuck does that mean?
sigh. another monday.
the zit behind my right earlobe has turned into a painful spot coupled with some scaly skin. ouch! i keep scratching it, hoping to peel off a nice-sized piece of skin, but instead, it just winds up hurting without yielding any flakes.
last night, on sportscenter, they had a piece about this guy who was born without legs or left arm, and he only had a little stub for a right arm. yet, this dude was determined to make the best of it, including becoming a professional bass fisherman. i was pretty touched, because if i were him, there would be no way that i would be happy. life would just be too tough for me to find any joy. so, i applaud this guy and wish him the best.
when i was young, i used to pass my time by drawing. and i remember that i kept most of my drawings in this big purple folder. the sad thing is, i don't know where that folder is. i'd really like to find it and look at what i used to draw; i remember doing epic space battles and morbid pictures of astronauts killing other astronauts in all sorts of gruesome ways. :)
i hate losing memories like those drawings. i think that's why i've kept a journal in some shape or form since 1992, my first year in college. i don't like the idea of trying to remember a certain time in my life and coming up empty. hazes like that really bug me.
wow. my leek burps are really strong. it's a good thing nobody's around me.
anyways, it's almost time to go home. laters!
hm. my weekends are like a battle between being occupied and being completely and utterly bored.
so friday night, i met up with nelson at the mercado, and we caught a showing of _charlie and the chocolate factory_. visually, it was very interesting, and the movie was random at times (i like random, fyi), but overall, it just didn't do much for me.
afterwards, we headed to mike and paul's place to chill or a bit before i headed home.
saturday wasn't interesting until 7pm. before then, i woke up, ate a bowl of cereal, and napped from 2 to 5. i met up with paul and company at st. john's for dinner. my burger was good, but i ordered these garlic fries that were pretty bad. i have to remind myself that st. john's has bad fries.
after dinner, we went back to their house and watched an episode of _battlestar galactica_. i have never seen this show before, but it looked fairly interesting. and in the meantime, leeya and i went through a _maxim_ magazine and rated some of the girls on their hotness.
i didn't want to go home yet, so i knocked on alan and ting's door. after all, they were only like 4 blocks away from mike and pauls's place. i was happy to find them there, and i just chilled a bit before we caught a late showing of _the march of the penguins_. it was a decent movie, but it was more like a long extended version of something you'd see on pbs about penguins. they're definitely cute creatures, though.
sunday, i met up with mallory at miyake. we had sushi and caught up, and we had a nice smoking break while i grabbed some pearl milk tea at crepes and more (the old qcup on university). the pearls were pretty bad there that day; i guess ever since qcup got bought, it's gone downhill there in terms of quality.
and that was it. i couldn't find anybody to hang out with the rest of sunday, so just took another nap and putzed around on the tv.
