thank god for IM. i admit that i am in a lonely spell right now, and it really helps that i have friends to chat with during the day. it relieves a lot of the negative self-pity and stuff like that. right now, i'm chatting with amy, an old friend from my dallas years. she tells me i should move to DC because there are a lot of girls out there. sigh. i wish i could...
anyways, a weird thing happened during _sportscenter_ last night. i guess they were expecting the world series game 3 to end sometime during the 8:30 broadcast, but the game went on to like 14 innings or so. so the show didn't have enough filler to pad out a full hour, so what did they do? they just recycled the stores. it was like deja vu. very lame, and very annoying to hear a story that you just heard half an hour ago on the SAME show. oh well. i fell asleep before the game ended. poor astros. they're gonna get swept.
i feel better today. i did some work, coded a bit, and then had my IM chats. i'm meeting adam for some ramen tonight, and i'm looking forward to hanging out with him. that's the thing: i need some social stimulation during weekdays, because i can't always count on my friends being free on weekends.
hold on, i got to piss.
hm. the piss was slightly yellow. i like having clear piss because that's a sign that i'm well-hydrated. it makes me proud of myself. :) weekends are the worst because i rarely drink anything throughout the course of the day, except for my daily bottle of gatorade at home.
i don't get why the world series is so one-sided. i mean, last year, boston swept st. louis, and this year, chicago is about to sweep houston. is the AL really that much better than the NL?
my boss just stopped by. i got a raise! 3.5%! hm. sounds a little low, maybe it doesn't even keep up with inflation, but a raise is a raise. hm. now i'm thinking. is 3.5% low? *ponder* i'm always worried that i'm not getting paid enough.
ok, i just got dumped with some work. i'll catch you guys tomorrow!
