hey people. it's friday!! i'm happy. and full, apparently; i got my mongolian bbq fix for lunch today, and i'm quite sleepy from it.
i am struggling a bit to find stuff to do this weekend. so far, there's a tentative plan to watch the new _wallace and gromit_ movie on sunday, but that's it. *RAAR*
last night, i had a dream about k1. it was something like us becoming friends again, but i don't have any more details. i've been having some pretty vivid dreams lately, but i can never seem to remember them once i wake up and stay conscious for a while.
studies show that when you fall asleep, you have retrograde amnesia for about 5 minutes. i think this is the reason why i can never remember turning the tv off when i fall asleep. i mean, the tv (tuned to espn) is always on when i'm in bed, but i don't have any recollection of rolling over, finding the remote, and powering off the television. weird, huh?
even though i don't like baseball, i'm going to miss it in a weird way. i'll miss listening to the games as i take naps on lazy saturday afternoons. i'll miss seeing nice 6-4-3 double plays on _sportscenter_. at least the NBA is starting soon.
my buddy W here at work is going to israel again next month. *sigh* work will be lonely during that stretch. already, some of my best work friends have left, and W will be the only one left that i regularly talk to. it's sort of depressing when lunch time comes, and you have no one to eat with.
does anyone here watch _alias_? if so, can you tell me what prophet 5 is? there are so many catchy codenames for stuff on the show (like SD-6, the covenant, etc.) that i lose track of what is what. i still can't believe that they're sending sydney on missions even though she's pregnant. and i have to say, balthazar getty isn't as cute as when he was a kid. (remember _lord of the flies_? _young guns 2_?)
it bugs me that in shootouts, the bad guys die instantly from bullet wounds, and the good guys don't, leaving them to die slowly and dramatically. what's up with that? like in _alias_, when vaughn for mowed down by a *machine gun*, they were still able to take him to the hospital and stuff before he finally expired.
so a few of my friends like fishing. personally, i don't see what the attraction is. i mean, you fix up your bait, cast it out, and just wait. doesn't seem very exciting, does it? i suppose if you're with your buddies, and you just shoot the shit as you're waiting, that might be cool, but the activity itself seems to be a little lacking in stimulation. imho.
ok, time for a cigarette break. have a STUPENDOUS weekend folks!
