hey there darling pups. did you guys have a good thanksgiving break? mine felt really short, especially when saturday was occupied by driving back from SLO, taking a nap, and simply watching a football game. sigh. i can't wait for winter break!
i took a monster dump last night at my place. it was super-thick, super-hard, and super-long. in fact, it clogged up the toilet. and today, i took yet another huge dump, except this time, it was soft and stringy. lots of strings!
so my birthday was very uneventful for turning 30. my actual birthday dinner is this saturday, and it's a small group. but it's ok. i don't like creating much hoopla over my birthday; after all, what is age but a number? still, though, knowing that i'm 30 sort of bums me out. i've got nothing going on in my life worth mentioning. yuck. sigh.
it's cold out here! ok, it's cold relative to the bay area. i woke up yesterday, and my place was 52 degrees indoors. that's pretty chilly, no? i wore a sweatshirt the entire day (my beloved brown monkey-faced paul frank sweatshirt), and it still felt chilly. we'll see how long i can hold out until i have to use the heater; i'm cheap when it comes to consuming energy.
the one good thing about the cold weather is that it makes sleep wonderful. yeah, it's a little shock to my body when i first crawl underneath my freezing blankets, but after a while, it get really cozy and warm. i love it. i fucking love it! it makes it hard to get out of bed, though.
i peed on myself. i have this problem where i think i'm done, and i *feel* like i'm done, but when i tuck my schlong back into my boxers, some more piss just comes out without squeezing. it's sort of embarrassing, because it soaks through to my jeans, and it's obvious that i had sort of an "accident."
so W is back at the office! i missed him during the two weeks he was gone. my work life (socially speaking) wilted while he was gone, because all my favorite people left the company. sigh. if W goes, i don't know what i'm going to do with myself as far as having coworkers to talk to.
after finally getting rid of the zit in my left nostril, i've developed another one in my right nostril. it hurts! i keep picking at it, but i can't position my fingers in my nose in order to pop the zit. so instead, i'll just have to ride it out. *blech*
so, we were playing taboo at emi's place over thanksgiving, and i finally broke my own record and got 7 cards correctly guessed! my previous record was 6, and i was feeling pretty good about myself until the opposing team got 8 (emi's sister gwen). that's pretty insane.
taboo is one of those games where i sort of get nervous playing, because i don't think i'll do well, but in fact, i do ok. and afterwards, i'm usually pleased with myself and my performance. yippee!
anyways, that's it for me today. have a good day!
hello all! welcome back!
so, let's see.... wednesday night, i had dinner (thai food again) with nelson at krung thai. mike was suppose to come, but he bailed at the last minute. too bad. we had red duck curry and jun pad poo, so the meal was very good. those are my two favorite dishes.
thursday, barden came over at 10, and we trekked down to san luis obispo to join emi and her family for thanksgiving. the house was small, but it was packed with like 20+ people. i felt a little lost, and i started to develop a panic attack. we played trivial pursuit after dinner, and it was a marathon game. i don't know what's wrong with me, because i used to be pretty good at the game, but now, i just draw blanks when faced with the questions. needless to say, we lost.
friday, we took a 40-minute stroll through the neighborhood, and then went out to look at monarch butterflies at pismo beach. then it was off to the beach, where shoji made these cool sand sculptures. we were constantly eating throughout the day, and played lots of games: qubic (an old parkers brothers game, 3-d connect four), taboo, and speed scrabble, which i did not partake in because i SUCK.
saturday, we drove back, and i watched the stanford/ND game on tv. damn, we could have won that game, but ND made a great drive in the final two minutes to score a go-ahead touchdown. sigh. so no bowl game for us.
sunday, i met up with jeremy and kate and their new daughter audrey for brunch at hobee's. it was great seeing them; it's so nice to see new parents so in love with their child. jack and amy and toddler anthony also made it... he's such a cute little boy.
i went back, took a nap, watched some football, and then it was off to mike's place for a home-cooked meal. mike made some indian food (fish masala and chicken kurma, which was really tasty), and then we had some chocolate fondue. i'm not really fond of chocolate, but it was an interesting experience, especially the oreo cookie fondue. very intense. we chatted for a while, and then i went home.
so yeah, it was a relaxing four days, and i'm very upset to have to be back at work. sigh.
