howdy y'all!
i got a lot of work on my plate these days. we're wrapping up one project, and i'm getting put on the next one with no break. sigh.
so it turns out that i have dinner plans with friends four days straight. last night was the grand wet burrito outing with adam, and tonight i'm having ryowa ramen with yuji. (i'd give you the link to his xanga, but he hasn't updated since august 1st. *RAAR*) and tomorrow is a farewell dinner at the faultline with my ex-coworker T, who is going back to taiwan the following day. oh, and friday is dinner with mallory and her parents. should be quaint.
so i saw my psych today. i'm dropping down on the haldol and upping the seroquel, which he said is probably not the reason why i'm getting backaches at night. so maybe it's my futon? yes, yes, i know i should fork over some cash to buy a *real* bed, but... oh well. today's backache was especially painful, btw.
so my right pinky nail is getting long. i'm using it constantly to scrape out my ear wax, and for whatever reason, the stuff from my right ear has a smell to it. (the wax from my left year has no odor.) you should see the small particles that i dig out. i'm still hoping for a grand slam and getting out a really big chunk of dark ear wax matter. those damn hyperactive sebaceous glands!
last night, i had one of those near panic attack episodes where everything i listened to on tv annoyed me. especially dick vitale's color commentary on the illinois/UNC college basketball game. luckily, it didn't last, probably quenched by the power of my 100mg of seroquel i take a night. this medication has caused me to get really good sleep for the past two months. i hope my body doesn't get addicted to it.
guess what? my toilet is still clogged from sunday's massive dump. i flush, and the water rises to a dangerous level before is *slowly* drains out. man, my apartment's toilets are just not built to handle me and my powerdumps. i think the pipes must be too thin or something.
referring to one of my comments about spending lots of money on cd's, i have to say that in the past 2 years, i've bought SIX cd's. yup. i've definitely toned down my music consumption, especially after i grew out of that lounge music phase. that was my last frenetic buying period, but now, i hardly ever buy new music, in stores or online. so THERE!
my heater is still broken. my place is so cold at night that i'm surprised i haven't caught pneumonia after taking showers. remember that i sleep naked, so at night, after my shower, i simply dry off and hop into bed. damn, it's chilly!
yesterday and the day before, my IE web browser at work was running totally slowly. it would take a long time for a page to load, so i consulted W, and he suggested that i clean out my spyware. it turns out that it *was* indeed all the spyware on my computer! it was pretty amazing how much that stuff stunts your computer's speed. the only question is: how did i get so much of that shit on my computer? i don't download anything... *ponder*
ok, it's time for my cigarette break. have a good hump day!
hello! how's it going darling pups?
sometimes i think that i overestimate my friendship with other people. i find myself being the one who initiates contact, whether it be a phone call or an AIM chat request. hm. maybe i think i'm better friends with these people than i really am. and that bums me out.
i played basketball today. i was really tired after a few games, so i left early. my goal next time is to stick around until all the games are played; i just have to will myself to continue. that way, i'll get more exercise, which my body badly needs.
so after suffering a few 50-degree nights at my place, last night i finally broke down and turned on the heater. the problem was, the thermostat worked, but the heater didn't. maybe the pilot light's out? *shrug* anyways, my rental agent is looking into it, and hopefully i'll have some heat tonight. *shiver*
since i played basketball and got back late, i skipped lunch today. i'm not really hungry right now, but i set up dinner with adam to get wet burritos. yum. the last few times i've been to los charros, i've gotten the smaller quesadilla instead, but this time, i'm going all out and ordering a super wet carnitas burrito. *smacks his lips* i can't wait!
i see my psych tomorrow. i don't know what to say to him; i'm still ticcing a lot, but the good news is that i haven't had a prolonged panic attack (except for this past thanksgiving day) since i've started on the seroquel at night. but i'm still getting those backaches, so i need to ask him if this is a possible side effect of the medication. damn side effects... *puke*
i had another anxiety dream this morning. i dreamt that i had a final exam to take, but i hadn't done the reading for it. i wonder what causes these dreams; normally i'm not an anxiety-laden person when i'm awake. but anyways, it kind of sucked. the other common dream i have is that i'm about to graduate, but i realize that i don't have enough units (somehow i must have miscounted) to graduate.
sometimes i wonder how impressive i would be if i were buff. 6 feet tall with impressive pects, cannons for arms, and a washboard abs. then again, i'm too fucking lazy to work out (lifting weights seems to be a form of self-torture), so i don't think it'll ever happen. but still... i think that knowing i was buff would give me a lot more confidence. but oh well, i'm just going to live with my poodge for a stomach and a general lack of muscular mass.
yup. ok, ttyl!
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.
*phew* with my brilliant coworker N's help, i successfully debugged this problem that i've been having. i think i will buy him lunch. yes, i am a generous man! *genuflect*
anyways, i'm just wrapping up things at work and will go home soon. i am very excited, to be leaving the office on a three-day workweek. i wish there were more of these.
i had lunch with alan today at tomatina. i got the spaghetti and meatballs, but it wasn't very good; the meatballs were too soft, and i just got tired of the pasta. i don't know what it was, but i just wasn't very hungry at all. i wonder if there is something wrong with me; when they had spaghetti and meatballs downstairs in the company cafeteria, i ate with reckless abandon!
did anyone see the michigan state/gonzaga game yesterday? it was awesome! it took three overtimes for a winner to be decided, and both teams had one guy who was just clutch. pretty good basketball if you ask me.
so barden and i are leaving at 10am tomorrow. sigh. that means i have to wake up early and stuff. we'll get to SLO around 1:30 or so, i think, and then it's off to the annual family basketball game. my cowboys are playing denver (which will be a toughie, as denver's 8-2), and i hope i get to watch the game. we'll see. i don't want to be antisocial and glued to the television instead.
i have an enormous amount of earwax. my sebaceous glands must be on high gear, as i routinely pick out pieces of the stuff with my pinky fingers. and i also think it's affecting my hearing; i need to schedule an appointment with my doctor to get them to waterpick my ears clean.
so november's winding down. it's my favorite month, did you know that? i like november because the weather starts getting brisk, and i also like thanksgiving break. and did i mention that my birthday is also in november? yup, i'll be turning the big 30 on friday. it's sort of a milestone, and i wonder if i'll be depressed about it when the day comes. 30 with no girlfriend, no house, no kids, etc. *sobs*
remember last week when i went to the DMV to renew my driver's license? well, it came in the mail yesterday! talk about fast turnaround, i was pretty impressed. except, the picture they took of me is GHASTLY. i look horrible in it. and they made me take off my glasses. is that normal? my face looks fat. eek!
anyways, i'm headed off soon. i wish you all a happy thanksgiving holiday break, and i'll see you next week! :D
well, it's been a sort of annoying day. i finally got my tests to run, and they don't match! (this is the cmodel test vs. the rtl test.) i'm sifting through code i don't understand, hence the annoying part. *RAAR*
man, thanksgiving break couldn't come sooner.
i've been downstairs at the cafeteria for the last week or so. i don't like the food, but nobody wants to go out to eat. this is where is miss my ex-coworker T. he was always up for going out. sigh. today's lunch included a disgusting sausage, some suspicious lasagna, and a weird cauliflower quiche.
so much for the hype. stanford men's basketball was pre-season ranked #13, and they lost to UC irvine the other day. irvine! so now we've dropped out of one poll, and are #25 in the other. even that might be generous. sigh.
i had a dream about my high school crush A. she was wearing an open white robe that displayed a completely shaved pubic region. pretty sexy, if you ask me. i advocate trimming pubic hair (even though i don't do it myself, i'm afraid to) on women because it makes their genitals look prettier. and plus, when i'm giving head, i don't get pubes stuck in my teeth. bonus! and no, i do not believe that those who like shaved pubes have some sort of young girl fetish.
does anybody else get recurring dreams of where they're in school, and they've forgotten to study for an exam or failed to turn in an essay or realized they don't have enough credits to graduate? i get them once every so often, and they're really bothersome. i hate anxiety dreams.
i have yet to have a lucid dream, i.e. one in which you're aware that you're dreaming. i've heard that in that case, you can completely control what happens. a lot of people choose to fly in that case, but for me, i'd be more into having sex with some hot girl. :)
also, i have never had a wet dream before, thank goodness, because then i'd have to wash my blankets and sheets. i've had erotic dreams which cause massive wood, but i have yet to expunge during sleep. are wet dreams common among men? i have yet to hear from anyone who's had one.
i am still getting backaches every morning. i gotta talk to my psych about it, and see if it's the seroquel. what would you choose? mental anguish (i.e. panic attacks) or physical pain? i think that's a toughie. the only consolation is that my backaches don't last forever, only a few hours after i get out of bed. and i'm definitely not looking forward to sleeping for two nights at emi's house on the living room floor in a sleeping bag.
did i mention that my sleeping bag is beautiful? it's bright yellow and black, sort of like a bumblebee. it cost a lot of money at the north face. i originally got it because i was planning on an all-nighter at work back at vivace networks, and i needed a sleeping bag. so i went out and paid $300 for it (i don't seem to mind paying a premium for beautiful items), and i've only used it a few times.
anyways, i'm off for a cigarette break. take care, people.
hey there folks. i'm bored.
i'm still a bit cross about this weekend. i didn't do much, and i feel pretty shitty about it. oh well. the good news is that this week i only have to work three days. yippee! hooray for the holidays! *huzzah*
so i was talking to nelson, and he mentioned that he didn't quite get the theme of the depeche mode concert. on stage, there was this big silver ball with a marquee that scrolled out words. i couldn't quite read them (we were too far, and my eyesight wasn't sharp enough), so i think we lost out a bit on the effect. also, on the silver ball, were the words "sex," "pain," "angel," and "love." hm. a bit inscrutable. but i did enjoy the visuals; there were also six panels of videos going on, most of it live camera shots from a cameraman somewhere in the first row.
anyways, so this year, i've seen erasure and depeche mode. sort of old school, huh? all i need is to see new order, and i've rounded out the trifecta of notable bands for asians growing up in our generation. ha!
so lately, during my dumps, i've noticed that i can't push as long as i used to be able to. i push for about two seconds, and i have to stop because i feel like i'm about to explode. good thing i'm not a girl, trying to give birth. the labor process for me would probably take forever!
so some of my friends have had kids, and i've always wanted to ask the mother if giving birth hurt like a motherfucker. but, i've been a bit shy to ask. *ponder* it just sounds painful, trying to excrete something that big out of a small vagina hole. all i have to say is, i'm glad i'm not a woman with family aspirations.
i think i'm going to start reading the _harry potter_ books when i get a chance. it's just so much better knowing all the little details rather than watching a movie version of the book with a lot of meat chopped off. i thoroughly enjoyed the first three movies, since i had read all of them, but man, _the goblet of fire_ this time around sort of really sucked for me. the only problem is, the books are kind of thick, and i'm a very slow reader. i know it's an easy and simple read, but still, it'll take me some time to get through them.
barden and i are headed down to SLO for thanksgiving with emi's family. we're brainstorming for a gift to thank them for letting us stay with them, but it's hard to think of anything. so far, the only gift that came up that sort of works is a cannister of some nice tea. (they don't drink alcohol, so a nice bottle of wine is out of the question.) what else is good? help us think of something!
man, i had a pretty boring weekend. i did only three things of interest, and the rest of my time was occupied watching television and sleeping. sigh.
so friday night was the depeche mode concert. we had dinner at the chicken coop, and i got this pizza with goat cheese on it. i decided that i don't like goat cheese. and then, it was off to the concert. the opening band (the ravenettes?) was so-so, and luckily, they only played for half an hour. and acoustics were horrible, and i couldn't tell what the lyrics were.
anyways, i wasn't going to do this, but my OCD personality forced me to memorize the playlist once again.
1. a pain that i'm used to
2. john the revelator
3. a question of time
4. policy of truth
5. precious
6. walking in my shoes
7. suffer well
8. damaged people
9. home
10. i want it all
11. the sinner in me
12. i feel you
13. behind the wheel
14. world in my eyes
15. personal jesus
16. enjoy the silence
first encore
17. somebody
18. i just can't get enough
19. everything counts
second encore
20. never let me down again
21. good night lovers
all in all, a pretty impressive playlist. the only song that i wished they had played (besides the more obscure songs) was "strangelove."
i got home at midnight. thanks to nelson for driving, though, and john for his knowledgeable navigation of the downtown san jose streets.
saturday, i woke up around 10 to let the guy finish painting my door. because i didn't sleep that much, i took a nap until 3 and watched the big game. man, stanford's offense was pathetic, and we only scored a field goal in a 27-3 loss, dimming our hopes for a bowl game.
before the game, i went to subway to try out their new chicken parmesan. it was ok, not that spectacular.
sunday, i woke up and just watched football until 4 or so, when i met alan and ting at mercado to watch the new _harry potter_ movie. sad to say, i didn't really like the movie. i know they cut out a large part of the book, and that made the plot sort of fragmented and inscrutable. the scenes just kept jumping to the next plot element without any explanation. oh well.
but! hermione (emma watson) is growing up well, imho. i thought she looked RADIANT during the yule ball scenes. i love her face, and she was just showing a teeny amount of cleavage for her blossoming body. i know you think i'm a sicko for liking somebody that's not of age yet, but still, i think she's going to be pretty hot once she grows up.
and that was it. i went home, took a shower, and went to bed. overall, a pretty lame weekend, if you ask me. *RAAR*
well, things are looking to become more difficult at work. i am assigned to make some nasty hard modifications to this block i designed back in 1998 or so. sigh. that's the thing about working on next-generation designs: you never do anything from scratch (which i like), and instead, you take over old legacy stuff (which i HATE). *RAAR*
so tonight's the big depeche mode concert. i'm wearing their "songs of faith and devotion" concert t-shirt from 1995 (or was it 1994?). either way, the t-shirt is a decade old; i am debating buying a new t-shirt tonight. i usually always get a concert t-shirt, but i haven't done so since maybe the sarah mclachlan concert of at least 5 years ago.
the new _harry potter_ movie is out! i want to see it, mainly for hermione (emma watson). she's growing into a pretty good-looking woman; even though she's not legal yet, i'd do her once she is. hehe. am i a pedophile? :)
the company is out of dr pepper, at least on my floor. so instead, i've been drinking coke. ah, the grand american soda beverage of choice. back when i was in italy and spain last august, i took a lot of "a coke and a smoke" breaks. those were the best! nothing like the pleasure of intaking two true american traditions (coke and marlboro).
so tomorrow's big game. it's held at stanford stadium, but i'm not going to fork over the $50+ it costs to get a ticket. instead, i'm going to watch it at home while the paint on my door dries. i think cal is favored, but i don't care. go stanford! beat cal! if we do so (or lose and win against ND next week), we'll be bowl eligible!
so does anyone out there watch _the OC_? what's your take on taylor townsend? i feel bad for her; she has no friends at school, and no one should have to live through that. there were some kids like that when i was in school, and i always felt really bad for them. *pity* you know, they never had anyone to sit with in the school cafeteria during lunch, etc. *sniff*
do you people get grouchy when you are hungry? i don't. but i've witnessed firsthand how snappy a person can get when he wants food. it wasn't pretty.
be happy! the weekend is upon us! i don't have many plans as far as meeting up with people, but i'll make some calls when i get home and see if i can get anything lined up.
alan and ting are going to the city tomorrow night to see some performance called yoni something or other. yoni means vagina, and apparently it consists of some monologues by indian women about their sexual experiences. i think that would be interesting to go watch, to hear about personal topics such as periods and masturbation. neat-o!
speaking of sex, i like giving head, moreso than receiving it. but then again, maybe the reason why i'm not so hot on getting a blowjob is because i've never gone out with a girl who did it well. one time, i even lost my boner while receiving fellatio. i think the girl felt bad because she wasn't competent at it. oh well. i hope the next girl i go out with is a master fellater. hehe.
ok, that's it for me for this week. have a good weekend, folks!
bummer. today's the third thursday of the month, so they were supposed to have ice cream downstairs. i went down there, and was disappointed to find that the organizer forgot. *RAAR* i want my ice cream! oh well, just as well; i'm having an early dinner with alan at sneha, so i guess i could use a little bit more space in my stomach for the indian buffet. gulab jamun, here i come!
so get this. they're painting all of our doors in the complex; yesterday, they did most of it, but they couldn't paint the edges without someone opening the door for them. so i made an appointment today, and they said that the paint needed 5-6 hours to dry (i.e. i had to keep the door open for that period of time). so what the fuck? they expect me to skip work and just sit at home, waiting for paint to dry? i was pretty annoyed with the whole thing, so i rescheduled for this saturday. guess i'll be stuck at home for a while then. *RAAR* anyone want to come over and entertain me and bring me food? :)
i had lunch with my coworker A and an ex-coworker, T. i haven't seen T in a while, so it was cool to catch up with him. we talked briefly about music, and he recommended postal service. are they any good? i think i've heard one of their songs on the radio, but i don't remember which one it was. i *think* i liked it.
i haven't been buy cd's like i used to. in the past, the music i listened to defined me, and i horded cd's like crazy. my freshman fall quarter in college, i spend a total of over $800 on cd's. $800 in 10 weeks! nuts, huh? but this year, i've only bought 6, and last year, i bought 2. i guess music just isn't as big a part of my life as it used to be. i sort of miss it, though.
does anybody think the new agent on _alias_ is cute? i think she's pretty good-looking, especially when she wears her glasses. ah, the glasses fetish. i have it pretty bad. but don't you think cool glasses make a person look that much sexier? *humps the air* bring on the specs!
i really hope the depeche mode concert will be good. despite their shitty new album, i look forward to such classics as "never let me down again," which i hope they'll play. i actually like lesser known songs such as "stripped," "fly on the windscreen," and "halo," but i doubt they'd play them. the way i see it, they're going to play maybe 6-8 of their new songs (snore), and the rest will be good old depeche mode classics.
have you guys ever been to a shooting range? i went once with my friend W, and it was one of the most disturbing experiences i've ever had. i was a pretty good shot, but having so much *power* in your hands (power to wound and kill) was just a little overwhelming. it was my first time, and afterwards, i decided it would be my last.
ok, that's it for today. smile! tomorrow's friday!
i think i'm finally getting sick of mongolian bbq. i was really psyched to go last night, when i was lying there in bed, hungry and all. but today, during lunch at su's, i hit a wall while eating my bowl of stuff. it just felt gross to me, and i got a stomachache afterwards. *blech*
i took two dumps today! i guess all my backed-up-ness caught up with me. the first one had so much girth that my asshole was ringing in pain afterwards. the second was much smaller, but a non-negligible dump nonetheless. i think my bowels are clean now. :)
i am just not in the mood to work these days, especially knowing that next week will be a 3-day workweek followed by a grand 4-day break. jeremy and kate will be in town, so i plan to hang out with them once i get back from SLO (san luis obispo). i'm not looking forward to the drive there and back, but at least i'll have barden and my iPod to keep me company.
one of my credit card bills this month totalled $16.97. nice! it's a good sign that i'm saving money. *huzzah* but we'll see how much my 2nd credit card bill will be before i start celebrating being frugal.
my entire townhouse complex is having its doors painted this week. i have to be at home anywhere from 8:00 to 11:30am so they can paint the edges (the door has to stay open for it to dry. yuck. i hate those long hourly windows that require you to stay home with your thumb up your ass. and what's the point of painting the doors? they all look fine, and it seems like a waste of HOA fees (though my landlord pays the fees).
i got mail for my 10th year college reunion coming up next year. man, i can't believe i've been out of school for so long. and what do i have to show for it? no kids, no girl even, and a 4th job that isn't satisfying. sigh. i envy those people whose lives are better than mine. :/ i'm certainly not doing a good job of living an impressive and interesting life.
tonight, paul and leeya are flying out to their homeland of vietnam. they're going to be gone for THREE weeks. i'm going to miss them, but i definitely wish them a safe and awesome trip. :) bon voyage! take lots of pictures!
i've never been to my homeland of china. i'd like to go, but i'm just too lazy to plan something like that, and plus, i want to go with someone who is familiar with the place so we don't get lost, go to the hot spots, etc. we'll see if i ever get the opportunity. chinese girl hunting!
*yawn*
hump day. yup. after this, it's all downhill from here. *cheer*
yeah, so i got up an hour early to head to the DMV. it wasn't all that bad... i had about a 20+ minute wait after getting my number (G201), and the paperwork went through all right. plus, i didn't have to take a test! just wait in yet another line to get my picture and thumbprint taken. that's it! i'm happy. :)
so man, what a fucking game last night! dallas was trailing 20-7 with like four minutes to go, and they scored TWO touchdowns in like 20 seconds! the first was a long pass to terry glenn, and the second was a roy williams interception returned for a touchdown. *grin* i was pretty ecstatic at the end of it. and to think that i was just going to give up and go to bed in halfway through the 4th quarter.
not much going on today. i had a long meeting where i had to piss badly. when i finally got out of it and went to the bathroom, taking a leak felt orgasmic. orgasmic, i say!
tuesdays really bum me out.
i miss my ex-coworker T. he's my smoking buddy, and without him, all of my cigarette breaks have been by myself. sort of lonely. i feel like one of those outcast smokers who everybody scorns because smoking is such a nasty habit. it felt better when i had a partner in crime, you know?
i've been skipping dinner. i know it's a bad thing to do, and late at night when i'm trying to sleep, i get pretty hungry. i can always tell if i'm hungry if i crave fast food. like, last night, the thought of having a whopper with cheese made me drool. i haven't been to burger king in well over a year, though. stuff like that.
i'm getting close to the point where i have to retire all three pairs of mavi jeans. the asses on those jeans have gotten worn to the point where patches just won't do the trick (unless they patch up the ENTIRE ass region). when i had lunch with jennie the other day, she saw my butt and told me that she could see that my boxers were pink. (for the record, they were red plaid.) ugh, how embarrassing to have your underwear showing through.
i need to start listening to the new depeche mode cd to get prepped for the concert. i just don't look forward to it, though, because i think the album is very good. maybe they'd grow on me if i listened to them non-stop, but that's just not going to happen. either way, i am looking forward to the concert with nelson and the other peeps. and don't worry nelson, i WILL pay you. in fact, i have your check in the back of my wallet.
anyways, i still haven't watched the _alias_ episode i taped last thursday. i have this thing about not liking watching taped television. it just seems like a nuisance to me, like a chore. and especially with this show; i just don't like it anymore. silly how we cling to things when they are well past their expiration date.
so i'm nervous. my driver's license expires next friday (on my birthday, hint hint :), and i have to go into the DMV tomorrow. i called, and they said i don't have to take the test, but i'm afraid that they might be lying to me. the test ain't easy! there are 18 questions, and you can only miss THREE of them to pass. i wonder how long the line will be; usually with government agencies, there are tons of people waiting in line to get their stuff done. sigh.
so tonight is the grand showdown between my cowboys and the philly eagles. if dallas wins, they'll be tied for first place in the NFC east. so go cowboys!
i miss my coworker W. he's in israel right now, and i won't see him until after thanksgiving break. i hope his business trip ends up in a safe return home; i sure as hell wouldn't go to israel, EVER.
anyways, not much going on today. i had two meetings, and now it's suddenly 4pm. the meetings go by painfully slowly, but after they're done, you realize that you just wasted an hour or even more. i've only smoked 4 cigarettes today!
this back/side pain is getting worse when i sleep. it get to the point where even just moving my arms slightly hurts my torso. yuck. i wonder what it is that's causing all the pain; i'd go to my chiropractor, but i just don't want to face him. i haven't seen him since early 2005!
back to the DMV thing. i called them today, and the address they have on file for my license renewal is old; they still had the old leghorn address. but what's weird is that my registration address is correct. how could that be? how could they have TWO addresses for me on file? sigh. silly government bureaucracy.
i am craving mongolian bbq again. maybe tomorrow i'll skip basketball and go. we discussed it today, but the main instigator for rounding up mongolian bbq peeps wasn't in, so we decided to postpone. i hope he's in the office tomorrow, so i can get my fix. *yum*
the depeche mode concert is coming up this friday. i'm not really excited about going. i am giving their new cd a second change, but still, most of the songs are very forgettable. it's weird that "precious" is the only song that sounds like their old stuff. the rest of the album is very lacking in having catching beats or tunes.
it's getting too cold to wear t-shirts. i guess i'm going to be starting my rotation of abercrombie long-sleeve t's. either that or t-shirt + buttondown. the office spares no expense in blasting cold AC throughout the office, but i'm a bit shivery in my cube today. my fingers are cold!
ok. that's it for today. wish me luck on my visit to the DMV! no test, please!
so let's see... friday night, i had dinner with dj at mango cafe. i had their goat curry over rice, which was pretty damn spicy, not to mention the hot sauce i added which gave it an extra kick. my face was sort of numb after dinner. dj swore that the goat was actually beef. i mean, where do you get goat meat anyways?
after dinner, we went over to the rose & crown. i tried boddington's beer, which was decent. i spied an ad for boddington's in dj's japanese magazine, and that's how i got interesting in tasting it. it's fun to listen to dj's rants, btw.
saturday, i drove up to the city to meet up with kevin, cindy, and her sister eunice. we had brunch at tangerine; i had the blue crab omelet, which, to my susprise, had a decent amount of crab meat inside. it was good catching up with kevin, who i see once a year (usually in november). it's too bad we don't see each other more often, as he was my best friend in high school.
i drove back home, took a nap, and watched the stanford/oregon state game, which we won 20-17. it's always nervewracking to watch stanford football games, because you never know when they're going to fuck up and allow a big play. but we won, and that means if we beat cal, we'll be bowl elegible.
for dinner, i had pizza chicago takeout (al bundy with sausage, yum) at jay and margaret's place. they have the cutest dog, coco (short for coconut), and for whatever reasons she was extra hyper when i got to their house. margaret showed me the tricks that she's been teaching coco. after pizza, i watched the "ginger kids" episode of _southpark_ and then went home to sleep.
oh. yeah. friday night, i had one of the worst bouts of insomnia ever. i lay in bed for about FOUR HOURS until i was able to fall asleep. i wonder if it was the beer.
sunday, i didn't have any plans, so i went to arby's for lunch, took a nap, and watched espn in the afternoon. i called up dishi, and we went to play tennis at cuesta park for about an hour. it was a pretty sad showing, because we were both huffing and puffing by the end of it.
and where did we go for dinner? arbys! yup. two meals in one day, and the cashier recognized me from earlier. i had the french chip. gotta love the salty au jus they serve. sodium overdose!
and that was it for the weekend. pretty decent.
hey people. what's up? i had a nice long lunch today with alan at the rivermark. he was working from home, so we got together and had burritos at baja fresh. they didn't wrap my burrito very well, so by the time i had eaten half of it, the bottom fell out and i had to eat the rest of my meal with a fork. sigh.
it was good seeing him. i love spending time with alan, and these days, it seems like hanging out doesn't happen that often. i even ditched a company meeting and free lunch in the cafeteria to hang out with him! priorities, i guess.
so shit is going down on _the OC_. charlotte's evil scheme has been exposed, and it looks like johnny is going to come between ryan and marisa. not to mention taylor townsend's move on seth. i wonder what's going to happen on next week's episode. this show has got me hooked! unlike _alias_, which shows at the same time (i taped it).
i think i hurt my right ankle. i was trying to pop it last night, and i think i overdid it. i've actually sprained my own ankle *with my bare hands*. sophomore year in college, i was trying to pop it, so i grabbed my foot and tugged REALLY hard. suddenly, it gave way and let loose a pop that shocked some people. the next day, i couldn't walk. stupid me. i have a knack for injuring myself unintentionally.
anyways, cheer up! it's friday! i'm tentatively scheduled to have dinner with dj tonight; i hope he doesn't forget. and tomorrow, i'm driving up to the city to have brunch with kevin and cindy. cindy and i are driving separately from the south bay, so i'm nervous about going there alone and having to find parking in the city. i *hate* looking for parking up there. *RAAR* we're meeting at tangerine. has anyone been there before? is it good?
i'm sleep very well these days. i think it's the seroquel; the one night i didn't take it (to test out the theory that i was giving me backaches), i took me longer than normal to fall asleep. but anyways, i'm getting a good dose of vivid dreams, and i like it. dreams are so cool (unless they're nightmares).
my dumps these days have been knobby. instead of one long turd, i excrete these balls of shit and that are, well, knobby, like i said. i wonder what correlation there is between what you eat and the shape of your shit. and i still don't understand why i never take dumps during the weekend.
lately, i seem to have an obsession with handjobs (tekoki). i like the idea that somebody else is wanking you off. it's sort of sexy, sort of intimate. i mean, you go from a very personal act (i.e. masturbation) and turn it into something that partners can do to each other. pretty cool stuff.
ok, i have written enough today. take it easy folks, and have a STUPENDOUS weekend!
hey guys, when you switched from briefs to boxers, did you get a lot of random boners? you know, because of the looseness of your underwear? today, after coming back from basketball, i stayed in my shorts for a while. and i popped a huge boner, despite the facts that my thoughts were nowhere near the topic of sex.
i feel bad for one of the basketball guys. he got whacked in the face, and his glasses broke (not to mention the cut he got near his eye). that's exactly why i play bball without glasses. even though my vision is worse, i can still shoot, and more importantly, i'm not risking my glasses' well-being.
so last night was pretty hard to fall asleep. i've decided that i can't fall asleep to a basketball game. unlike baseball, which has a slow rhythm, a bball game is constantly going, and the announcers keep talking non-stop. i had to wait until 10pm+ (after the nuggets/kings game) for _sportscenter_ to come on before i could get a shot at falling asleep. it's a shame.
i have to drive up to the city alone this weekend. cindy, kevin and i are meeting up for brunch. i was hoping to catch a ride with cindy, but she's going to stay in the city afterwards, so we have to drive separately. i get nervous about driving up to the city every time i go to some place new. i just hope there's parking there. *yuck*
i'm getting nervous. my driver's license expires in 15 days (on my birthday), and i haven't gotten any renewal stuff in the mail. will i have to take a test to renew my license? i recently looked at a copy of the test, and it's not easy! i don't want to have to study for it.
i had a dream about amie last night. (pronounced AH-mee) she was my great high school crush, and the only blonde girl i've ever liked. i was totally in love with her, but she didn't like me back. :( but anyways, it's been a while since i've talked to her so maybe i should write her e-mail one of these days. i think she's based out of paris (she's a lawyer).
i am looking forward to thanksgiving break. however, i'm not looking forward to the drive, though. i have a really low tolerance for long drive; i'll be going down to san luis obispo, which is almost exactly 200 miles door to door. that's about my limit, and i will never EVER drive to LA again. it's brutal, and i don't know how some people take that sort of hit without even flinching. one time, my parents drove from vegas to dallas in one shot; that's 20 hours straight! man!
ok, take it easy out there.
man, i am bored today. i was supposed to help my coworker R debug a c-model issue, but he figured it out all by himself. he is the man; i didn't know him much when i first started working here, but after seeing how dilligent and resourceful he is, i've gained a lot of respect for him.
it's wednesday. i was looking forward to having dinner with alan, but he got two free tickets to tonight's U2 concert in oakland. i don't really like U2, but hey, if it's a free concert (and i bet tickets were expensive), i'd probably go too.
my buddy alex showed me two of his paintings today. i am so proud of him for finding a hobby, sticking with it, and producing two pieces of art that he can call his own. i think it's the coolest thing when you can produce something *tangible* to show others. that's how i was with photography (my place is decorated with pictures that i took), but for the past year+, i've lost the passion of taking photographs.
i'm sad that my wingman at work (W) is leaving for israel this friday night. he's the one person who i chat with at the office. he's coming back in a week and a half, so i won't see him again until after thanksgiving break. sigh. at the very least, i wish him a safe and productive trip.
i was asked (years ago) to go to israel for work. i simply said "no." israel doesn't exactly strike me as the safest place to be, so i didn't want to risk my life by going out there. and on top of it, i hate long flights, and this would definitely count as a long one. if only i could sleep on planes.
so i stopped taking seroquel last night. i *still* got a backache this morning. i'm going to try one more night without it and see if it's the drug that's causing this pain. without the med, though, i did notice that it took me longer to go to sleep. hm.
so the depeche mode concert is coming up. i'd be more excited about it if their new album wasn't a piece of crap. ok, maybe it's not a piece of crap, but aside from their first single "precious," i didn't find another track that i even remotely liked. man, i sure hope they sing more of their classics at the concert. and does anybody know what happened to their 4th member?
i haven't talked to J since she left. i still sort of miss her. i guess it's just rare that you spend 3 straight days with someone you consider a good friend. oh well. i'll get over it. i just wonder when we'll see each other again.
anyways, not much on tv tonight. _sportscenter_ starts at 10pm (instead of their regular 8pm showing), so i don't know what i'm going to fall asleep to. hm. maybe the nba game will have the power to lull me to sleep.
ok, that's enough for today. have a good hump day!
hey there folks. i'm hungry. i skipped dinner last night, and i didn't have lunch today (i was playing basketball, thank goodness i didn't bonk). i just downed a small bag of sun chips (i have a love/hate relationship with those chips), and i'm working on a can of dr pepper. yeah, i know, i should treat my body better.
i'm going to see if i can meet up with dj tonight for dinner. he's in law school at stanford, so i don't know if he'll have time. all that reading and studying, you know.
i'm happy for peyton manning and finally getting that gorilla (the patriots) off his shoulder. the colts look very very good this year, even though they haven't played that many quality teams. we'll see when they play the bengals and steelers.
tonight, i'm going to lay off the seroquel and see if that's the reason why i've been backaches at night. strange, how drugs have side effects. they make me not want to be medicated, but i can't help it with my tourette's and panic attacks. sigh. i wish i wasn't a drugged up person 24/7.
does anybody know when/if _scrubs_ will come back? i miss that show. i love the randomness of the show, and i have to say that it's been my favorite show through the last few years. so please bring it back!
i have a long meeting coming up. sigh. i hate it when work interferes with my daily activities. :) i hope i can sneak in a cigarette before it starts.
anyways, not much going on today. i hate tuesdays (almost as much as mondays).
i've had a pimple in my left nostril for a while. and what's weirder, it decided to scab up. it really hurt, especially when i tried to pick off the scab. i know, i should leave my own bodily injuries alone, but i just love picking scabs. speaking of scabs, just now i picked off one in my left ear. (i'm getting injuries in weird places, huh?). it's bleeding.
ok, off to the meeting.
i'm back.
ok, i lost my train of thought, but can i just say that long meetings are incredibly boring and tiring to go through.
anyways, i'll write more tomorrow, i promise. bye!
we took a 2-hour lunch break today. we went to shalimar (highly-touted indian place) in fremont to send off my ex-coworker T for the THIRD time. ok, no more paying for his meals! haha. but anyways, the food was good, albeit the portions were small. but then again, the dishes were cheap (<$10), so it made sense why the portions weren't very generous.
big monday night football game! colts vs. pats. i'll definitely be watching. man, i can't believe the football season is already half over. i don't feel like i've been *savoring* this season, and i know that once it's over, i'll regret not watching more games. so i'll probably be watching the entire game tonight, except for taking a shower sometime in between.
i think the seroquel i've been taking is giving me backaches. in the mornings, i've been experienced some pretty severe pain whenever i bend over, turn my body, etc. it makes sleep pretty uncomfortable. i wonder if i should stop my seroquel dosage at night and see if that's the true culprit. *ponder*
i need a haircut. bad. my hair's been incredibly unreasonable, and my sideburns are turning into bushes. i'll probably get one tomorrow; it's been over a month since my last haircut.
i miss yuji's blogs. he has posted since he came from japan the 1st of august. i love reading my friends' blogs because it lets me catch up with them on my own time, but i do get disappointed when they don't update as often as i would like. i know i write every weekday, but i think that's asking too much. there are days when i want to skip writing my daily entry, and it definitely feels like a chore sometimes.
i was reading a blog today, and the girl mentioned this porn star named lily thai. man, she has got some very DARK nipples. they're almost black. they definitely stand out, and i can't decide if i like them or not. i'm much more of a fan of pink nipples; so cute, so cuddy, i could chew on them all day long. is there a correlation between nipple color and something else related to the girl's body? (for example, pubes usually match the eyebrow color.)
i'm a little sad today. it goes back to my ex-coworker T leaving the company. he's my smoking buddy, and now, after he's gone, that only leaves W as the one coworker who i can chat with on a daily basis. i came back to this company thinking that my old team would be there, but now, so many people have left the company that i'm starting to feel a bit lonely. sigh. :(
anyways, that's all i have to say today. even though i'm partially from new england, i'm going to root for the colts tonight. go peyton manning! get that monkey off your back! :)
let's see... friday night, i met up with nelson for some thai food at king of krung. i tried the penang curry (thanks to mike's suggestion. i was pretty decent, although i had a hard time distinguishing between the red curry (duck) taste and the penang taste.
saturday, i called up my ex-coworker T, and we had roasted meats over rice at the back side of joy luck place (not the dim sum side). it was pretty good... i especially like the chopped pork, with its crunchy skin and loads of fat. fat! yum.
i went home, took a nap, and then it was off to alan and ting's for their housewarming party. i mingled a bit for a few hours, and played with jack and amy's son, anthony. he is sooo cute! around 9:30, though, everyone was either playing poker (which i passed on) or watching _rize_. and not being interested in either activity, i left with jay and margaret. i had a good time.
sunday, i had lunch at queen house with jennie. man, i hadn't seen her in a year, so it was good catching up with her. i ordered this appetizer (wontons in spicy sauce), and it came smothered with this orange goo. not very good, i must remind myself never to get it again. later, jennie and i both got roasted barley pearl milk teas, and chatted a bit more. she's cool, i like talking to her.
then, if was off to nelson's place to watch his beloved 49ers get beaten by the new york giants. i was rooting for the 49ers, since i didn't want the giants to be first place in the NFC east (the same division as dallas, which had a bye). but oh well. i'm sort of glad eli manning is doing well.
after the game, i went home, watched _nfl prime time_, and then caught part of the night game before having a semi-late dinner with alan and ting at pho to chau. i miss them. *sniff*
and that was it. a fairly good weekend, if i do say so myself.
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!
whew! i successfully debugged an issue concerning a block of mine in the latest chip. i determined that i did the right thing according to the architecture spec, so it ain't my fault! woo-hoo! it took a while, and was very frustrating at times, but i'm glad i got through it ok.
my backaches in the morning are starting to get really annoying. it hurts to roll over, move my left arm, etc. i wonder what's wrong with me and why only recently it start to hurt. *ponder*
i've been drinking snapple recently. i should stop. why? because one bottle of the stuff is a whopping 220 calories! holy shit! i went through a major snapple phase in college... kiwi strawberry, mango madness, it was all good stuff. and back then, my metabolism was so astronomically high that it didn't matter how many calories i consumed. but not so now.
anyways, it's thursday, and i'm glad the week is passing by. i still haven't solidified plans with M for saturday lunch, but we'll see. she's awfully busy with work and grant writing, so i'll be lucky if i get to meet up with her.
anyways, not much going on. _the OC_ returns tonight, so we'll see what happens with the kids. dean hess is evil. i don't like his character and don't understand why he has it in for ryan, so i hope he gets his due when karma comes around and smacks his ass.
so last night, i met up with mike, nelson, paul and leeya at kauai bbq and grill. i went out on a limb and ordered pork adobo, not having any idea what to expect. all i knew was that mexican pork adobo burritos were good. it was ok, but a lot of the other people got kalbi, and it looked really good. afterwards, we got pearl tea, and i was expecting us to sit down somewhere and chat, and instead, we just went back to our cars and drove off. oh well.
i am still adjusting to the fact that by the time i leave work, it's totally dark. it's rather depressing, but the good news is that in a few years, daylight savings will get longer, from march to november (instead of april to october). that'll be cool. personally, i don't understand why we have it in the first place; a friend told me he read that it was a remnant of WWII days or something.
i clamored for mongolian bbq today. but my food didn't turn out as spicy as i wanted it to be, so i was a bit disappointed with today's turnout. but, i did eat 4 eggrolls as well. ah, the gluttony of it all.
ok, i've run out of things to say. have a good one, folks!
so last night, i had a dream that i was having sex with k2. i remember waking up and wondering if it was real, and i also remember thinking, "if this turns out to be a dream, i'll just have to wank off because i'm so FUCKING HORNY right now."
i also had a familiar dream of being in my last quarter of college and realizing that i have to pass my final classes in order to graduate. these dreams sometimes turn into nightmares when i realize that i miscounted my units and would have to stay an extra quarter to finish my degree. *shiver*
but lately, it's been hard to sleep in. a large part of it i blame on daylight savings, because it gets light an hour earlier. yuck. and part of it is because i've been backaches every night when i sleep. they go away after a few hours of being upright, and i don't know why i get them. maybe my futon is too hard and i need to fluff up the mattress a bit? *ponder*
i'm excited for dinner tonight. i'm meeting a few members of the bowling gang at this new place off castro called kauai bbq and grill. i'm not reall a fan of hawaiian food, but it'll be nice to see the peeps again. one of them is mike, and i haven't seen him in a while. it'll be good to catch up.
our company ran out of vitasoy yesterday. i've been lacking something to drink in the meantime. i mean, i have my daily portion of dr pepper, but at 150 calories a pop, i can't afford to drink more than two of them a day. i don't want to get fat via drinking soda! but still, i love my dr pepper. :)
my hits are way up these days, but i figure that a good 50+% of my hits are for people looking for pictures of a "perfect ass." i wonder if my true readership has stayed the same or fallen. i know my writing sucks these days, and i'm nowhere near as prolific as i used to be. i just don't get any cool random thoughts in my head these days.
i had a run-in with cwg (remember her?) at the lunch line today downstairs in the cafeteria. i still like her, and i wonder if i can ever get the courage to ask her out. we'll see. she's cute!
anyways, not much going on today. i had some help from a coworker to fix the run-time behavior of the systemC model that i've been working on. he is a very smart guy, and he spotted an unconnected port in one of the modules. so i fixed that, and BAM! it worked! i was so happy. i'm going to buy him lunch the next time we go out and eat.
i haven't taken a dump in a few days. i'm getting worried again. but in the meantime, today is going along decently. and i can't wait to meet up with the folks at dinner. hooray for workweek social activity!
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!
