so today was my coworker T's second going away lunch. W and i already took him out a week or two ago, but today is definitely his final day. we went to the thai buffet (my suggestion) on saratoga. fried bananas rock!
oddly enough, we're taking him out again next monday for indo-pakistani food at shalimar over in fremont. it's a ways away, so i'll be looking forward to the long lunch break. :)
i'm happy it's friday. i seem to have finished (for the most part) all of my designated tasks at work, so it looks like smooth sailing for a short while before work picks up again.
so this weekend, so far i only have two things planned: alan/ting's housewarming party saturday night and lunch on sunday with jennie. hm. i know that was psyched about making plans earlier this week, but there are still some holes in my schedule. some of my plans (like lunch with M tomorrow) fell through. rats.
anyways, _the OC_ was just ok last night. i knew that they'd use dean hess's "relationship" with taylor against him to get ryan back, so that wasn't a surprise. i dunno. the whole thing about ryan suddenly changing his mind about not going on the fishing boat was a bit unbelievable, but hey, they have to keep him around on the show, right? can't let him go fishing for a few weeks and have the show keep going. ;)
i am getting worried about my lack of dumpage. today, after lunch, i went straight to the toilet after smoking and squeezed and pushed. only two little nuggets came out. i *must* be backed up! maybe i should to get some metamucil or something to flush out my system.
it's getting quite chilly here in the bay area. i am back to using all three layers of blankets when i sleep. i wonder if the cold weather is causing my back to tense up every night. so far, it's been like two weeks since i've developed these nocturnal backaches, and they're quite uncomfortable. hm.
anyways, not much going on today. i'm glad that the nba season has started, but i haven't felt compelled to watch any game (so far) from beginning to end. like my friend nelson says, there's something boring about basketball. i think it's all the fouling and free throw shots that sort of ruin the tempo/rhythm of the game.
ok, well, have a great weekend folks. i'll see you on monday!
