ho hum. i'm feeling a bit better today. i don't know what put me in such a foul mood saturday night, but damn, it was pretty bad. you know it's something serious when sportscenter annoys me to the point of having to turn it off. !!
i am in the habit of eating twix bars at work. here in the office, all things in the vending machine are 25 cents, so i get tempted to eat some junk food now and then. the caramel alone in the twix is too sweet, but coupled with the cookie, it's not bad.
i am not losing weight. this is despite my cereal dinners, or even skipping meals when i am not interested in eating. i wonder if i'm starving my body so much that my metabolism has dropped. hm. i shall have to play some basketball this week to see if that can lower my weight. i'm 170 now, fyi. in the last two years, my weight has fluctuated between 160 and 200.
speaking of cereal, i was out of it (and milk, too) this weekend, so yesterday, i went to safeway and got: frosted mini-wheats. i had forgotten that i used to eat this a lot back in the day. it's a little too whole-wheat for my tastes, but what i like is how there's frosting on the other side. *yum*
did you guys grow up on whole milk? i've been buying 1% milk (because 0% is like water), but i miss whole milk. there's that extra flavor that comes with the fat, i think, and i really like that hearty rich taste. i've even bought extra rich milk once, but the downside of that is the it expires and gets sour really quickly.
oh, a random memory that i didn't mention before. jan's wedding reception a few weekends ago was a dry event, meaning no alcohol. so before i drove up to oakland, i stopped by the supermarket and got a six pack of mike's hard lemonade and samuel adams. i didn't dare offend jan by bringing the alcohol into the lodge, so lynn, dave and i went out to the parking lot after dinner and drank our lukewarm beer in the dark. hee. it felt like we were breaking the law or something.
so what is a good brand of jeans? lucky? diesel? gap? i am thinking about ditching my mavi's because they tear too easily. i've probably spent around $70-80 dollars fixing/patching them up, and i'm tired of it. what i want is a pair of comfortable jeans that is much more durable. any suggestions?
ok, i'm off to a cig break. enjoy the rest of your day!
i think i'm depressed. not suicidal or anything, but just really bummed out about life. oh well. more on that later.
friday, i left work and headed straight to paul's place where he cooked us this big striped bass fish that he caught the day before. it didn't have much flavor (most of the seasoning was on the skin, which we didn't eat), but it was very tender. dinner was a simple meal, with just fish and rice.
saturday, i headed up to the city to meet up with M, this new friend i made. we grabbed brunch at this place in the sunset called howard's (i think), and then we got coffee and tea at tart to tart. she pointed out this apricot tart that looked really good, but for whatever reason, i didn't get it.
it was good chatting with M. she's very talkative! and tall, too, which i thought was really cool; there aren't many tall girls around, you know? so after we left tart to tart, i walked her back to her block, got in my car, and drove home.
i am in the habit of taking weekend naps from 2 to 5. this weekend was no different, as i did it both days. i didn't see anyone for the rest of saturday, so i got really bored. :(
sunday, i had lunch with the guys after they went bike riding. we met up at the rancho marketplace and were originally going to have burgers at clarke's, but to our dismay, it was no longer there. so instead, we got sandwiches at andronico's. i had a HUGE tunafish sandwich; they really piled it on, and that was cool.
and once again, i took my nap and didn't see anyone for the rest of the day. sigh. this being single thing is starting to wear on me.
i could tell i was in a bad mood because saturday night, as i was in bed listening to sportscenter, the anchors' voices just grated on me. they weren't the usual anchors like john anderson or stuart scott, but new people. and i just got more and more annoyed until i had to turn off the tv and try to fall asleep in silence. hm.
anyways, i closed off sunday with a 50-minute conversation with jessica. i like her. too bad she's in houston.
i really need to figure out what i can do on weekends to keep myself from being bored. i know i should have some hobbies or something, but i just have no motivation. *shrug*
