change of pace

so this morning, i did something different. rather than roll out of bed and go straight to work, i stopped by mcdonald's and grabbed breakfast: a sausage mcmuffin and a sausage/egg biscuit. it was the first breakfast that i had in maybe a year or so, at least. tasty!

so the euphoria from yesterday is over. the stark reality of tuesday stared me down, so i'm back to being bummed out about having to work. although, i did release some code today, so that's one milestone down. yay!

i had my first nightmare in a long long time last night. i remember waking up and being afraid to fall back asleep. for reasons which i don't remember, richard gere (the actor) was part of the dream. go figure, huh?

i'm excited about the NBA season, which kicks off today. i'm rooting for the mavericks (go dallas!) and the heat (for no really good reason, i'm just tired of the pistons).

i like sun chips. i just had a bag of it. good stuff, even though it was only original flavor.

when J was here, she gave me shit about many "feminine" things. i.e. liking _sex and the city_, the tarepanda i have in the back of my car, wearing paul frank, and eating special k cereal. what's so girl about special k? it's good shit! although, lately, i've had so much of it that i'm getting sick of it. but still, it's a good cereal.

so alan and ting have a housewarming party on saturday. i sort of want to get trashed, except i don't want to go out of control and puke in their new home. and plus, i have plans for lunch on sunday with jennie, so that's another reason why i shouldn't get blitzed. but still, i haven't gotten drunk in well over a year (or even two!), and i sort of miss it. i've had drinks before, but for whatever reason, i can't catch a good buzz. maybe it's the medication, that's what i think. *ponder*

i still think about that dui checkpoint incident a few months ago. had i been caught, my life would be in the shitter. *shiver* another reason not to drink and drive.

ESPP (employee stock purchase plan) kicked in today. i got my 15% off and sold it immediately for about a $3000 profit. coolio! i know, if i really had confidence in my company, i'd hold the stock, hoping that it would inch higher, but i'm just getting tired of getting burnt on stocks. so i plan to just sell every time i get my ESPP shares. i'm sure a lot of people do it, which is why today was a down day for my company's stock.

anyways, that's it for today. toodles!
