so this morning, i was picking my nose, and i noticed two long nose hairs. so what did i do? i picked them out with my BARE HANDS. it hurt! at least the pain was short and swift, but the stings almost drew tears in my eyes. i have some thick nose hairs. maybe i should get a trimmer.
and i might have to eat my own words and buy john stevens's new album. i was surfing around, and i noticed that he and a bunch of other _american idiol_ finalists had albums out. i loved john stevens in season 3, and i have mentioned before that i'd buy an album if he made one.
every day at work, right after i check my sitemeter stats and e-mail, i read my requisite 30+ blogs. normally, not much is happening, but today, i realized that geoff got engaged! holy crickers! congratulations! i am definitely happy for him.
anyways, i'm still sad over my brother's leaving. it's not unlike when J left back in october. i guess i get attached over the people who visit (i.e. people i care about), and i miss him. after all, he *is* my brother. i love him.
sigh. what a sad monday. i just want to go home and curl up in bed. i'm having dinner with alan tonight, so that should ease the pain a little bit. although, he's mentioned that he and ting have a strong desire to move out of the bay area. if alan left, i'd be depressed as hell.
my cowboys suffered a horrible loss yesterday to the redskins, 35-7. (more reason to get bummed out.) so right now, they're barely in the wild card hunt, and they need a lot of help to get into the playoffs. *RAAR* and it doesn't bode well that they play carolina next week, one of the league's best teams.
even while my brother was visiting, i managed to find moments of solitude so i could smoke. i wonder if he knows. i mean, i must reek of cigarettes when i finish, but he didn't say anything throughout the whole weekend. also, i ordered a beer at tony roma's, and i think my bro is against alcohol. oh well. i'm not trying to set a bad example, but i just felt like having a beer, and also, i need to smoke.
part of me refuses to believe that i'm 30 now. i can't believe that this is the decade where i will get married, settle down, and have kids. i am sooooo not ready for kids. the idea of letting my life to be ruled to a little tyke is such a foreign concept. yet, i will do it within the next 10 years. holy shit!
i took a big foot-long dump today. not sure why it was so big, since i didn't eat that much yesterday.
ok, and with that, i shall leave you. have a good day!
hey people. my brother left an hour ago, and i'm sad. :(
anyways, friday night, a group of us got together at saint john's to have burgers. after that, we went to tap ex in mountain view for some balls. my earl grey pearl milk tea exploded all over me.
saturday morning around 11 or so, my brother arrived after his drive up from LA. we went to stacks for lunch; we waited an hour and ate in like 26 minutes. sort of a waste of time if you ask me, but i do love stacks's food. (i got the south of the border, he the banana macadamia coconut pancakes.)
after that, we headed home for naps. he had only gotten three hours of sleep on friday night, so he definitely needed some shut-eye.
then, we met up with alan and ting at tony roma's for ribs. every one got ribs except me; i'm not particularly fond of them, and i wasn't hungry anyway, so i just got the fish and chips.
after dinner, we headed over to alan's house for some poker. i won a few hands, and it felt good. lots of people were getting straight's, go figure.
sunday, we had a quick lunch at mcdonald's before watching the 3-hour _king kong_. i didn't like it. the first hour was so boring that i fell asleep. the rest of the movie was ok, but and even though the action and the sets were amazing, i just wasn't enthralled enough to recommend the movie.
we went home, watched _nfl prime time_ (my poor cowboys lost to the redskins), and then grabbed some noodles at ryowa. and after that, we just watched tv: poker, the duke men's basketball game, and the sunday night football game.
and now he's gone. i feel sort of empty inside. he's family, he's my brother, and i love him despite us having such a wide age gap. i am forever grateful that he bit the bullet and decided to take on the gruellling drive, because i don't think i would ever drive down there myself.
i hope that we're better friends now. it used to be that i felt more like an uncle to him than a brother, but now i hope that our bond is stronger. i gave him a hug right before we got in our cars. *sniff*
ah, family.
