i feel sort of bummed out today. it's always sad to see a good friend go, especially when you've spent so much time with her. even though J and i only recently got back in touch after an eight-year hiatus, she feels like a good friend. and it hurts to have to say goodbye.
anyways, another monday at the office. i have some serious coding to do, and i'm not quite sure how to do it. anyways, we'll see how long it takes to figure it out. i just don't feel like working, though. i'd rather just go home and take a nap.
so this weekend, i had planned on some stuff that i didn't get to do with J. stuff like going to stacks and in 'n out burger, hiking to the stanford dish; we just didn't have enough time to do all the things. it's too bad, though... that stuff would have been fun, and she doesn't get to do stuff like that in houston.
i had a nasty, stringy dump this morning. i'm not sure what i ate that gave it that "fibrous softness." hm. it was definitely a big dump, though; i only gave one big heave, but it turned out to yield a lot of "matter."
J mentioned that since i live alone, i must get spells of loneliness. she suggested getting a dog. yeah, i think a dog would be great to have, but i'm just too lazy to take care of it. and i especially cringe at the idea of picking up its shit. ick.
man, i feel blue today. i feel like listening to erasure's "blues away" song. oh well. i'm resilient. i'll get over this soon enough. i just wonder when the next time i'll see J will be. i hope that meeting isn't another 8 years later.
i don't like _alias_ anymore. yet, i continue to watch it. i taped last thursday's episode, and i'm going to watch it tonight. i'm dreading it. strange, isn't it, to keep watching a show even though i don't enjoy it? it's all out of loyalty, and i'm stubborn like that. i mean, they killed off a major character, and sydney's pregnant and probably won't be doing much, so why watch? hm. it's a question i ask myself often.
note to self: there's more underneath the surface of why i'm bummed out. i just don't feel like publicizing it because my blog is so easy to find. so much for having a confessional journal, eh? :/
ok, that's enough blah for today. i'll talk to you guys tomorrow.
well, J has come and left, and i sort of miss her already.
she flew in on thursday night. immediately, on the drive back and at home, we caught up on the latest drama in her life. she also had an incredulous reaction when i told her i sleep naked.
friday, we went up to the SOMA to check out the metreon and the MOMA. i realized that i'm not really a museum person; i just look at the work of art, say "that's cool" and move on. maybe if i had taken an art history class, i would have more appreciation of what i'm seeing.
after that, we hit san francisco shopping center for a little bit, and drove back home to take naps. for dinner, we met up with alan and ting at red robin, where i tried the royal red robin burger. interesting to have a fried egg in the middle of the burger.
after dinner, we went home, where we tried two shots of whiskey: one of johnnie walker gold, and one of jameson. i really like jameson because it's smoother. J got red and buzzed, but not tired enough to go to sleep, but we called it a night anyway.
saturday, we tried to go to stacks, but the long wait forced us to eat at una mas instead. we walked all around stanford campus, including a trip up to the observation deck of the hoover tower. we hit the bookstore for her to buy some stanford gear, and the rodin sculpture garden as well.
it was homecoming weekend, so there were lots of alum around. we went to the stanford/ASU game, and left at halftime, when stanford was leading 31-7. (they later won by a score of 45-35.)
we got home in time to catch the world series game. J lives in houston, so she was rooting for the astros, who unfortunately lost the game 5-3. oh well.
sunday, we got up early to drive up to the city again. J was adamant about seeing the golden gate bridge, so i obliged and took her there. unfortunately, the fog had rolled in, so the view was pretty bad. still, though, we took some pictures and left for the peninsula.
we had lunch at amarin, and i dropped her off at the airport afterwards. it was great seeing her, and i sort of miss her, even though nothing romantic happened.
i spent the afternoon taking a nap and watching football. shit, dallas lost to the seahawks (stupid bledsoe interception set up a game-winning field goal for the opponents), and all of the other NFC east teams won, so dallas went from first place to last in one day of football. sigh.
i had dinner with barden at maruichi (ryowa was too full), and dishi came up to mountain to hang out over a post-dinner pearl milk tea. we talked until about 9, and it was refreshing to just sit and chat.
and that was it. it was a good weekend, despite all the driving. i wonder when i'm going to see J again. she's one cool cat.
