howdy folks!
i had bad chinese food for lunch. one of my coworkers, N, likes to go to this place that he calls "stinky chinese." now if it really stunk, then why would he want to go there? anyways, the place's real name is tong soon, on el camino in sunnyvale somewhere. i got the kung pao chicken, and it wasn't spicy at all. hrmph.
so christmas season is upon us. i can tell because none of the major tv networks are airing new episodes of their top shows (namely _alias_ and _the OC_ for me). that means boring television at night, and a snorefest for me.
i need to sleep in a bed for a few nights to determine if it's the futon or the cold weather that's making my back hurt at night. i mean, i've been sleeping on this futon for about 8 years, so it would seem doubtful that all of a sudden it's hurting my back. and i'm not about to blow a grand on a new bed if i don't have to. maybe i'm just getting old and rickety. hrm.
i am not really looking forward to winter break. i get next week off. the good thing is that it means i don't have to work for 10 days, but the bad news is that i won't have somebody to hang out with. sure, i'll meet up with some friends here and there, but most of the time, i'll be by myself, i think. i can only watch so much college football before going crazy!
i gotta remind myself to sell some of my junk stocks tomorrow. i've made a small amount of money with my company's ESPP, so i need to offset the gains with some losses. and trust me, there are LOT of losses that i incurred in the stock market back in the day. i'm still bleeding red from the majority of my holdings. sigh. if i had kept it all in cash, i'd have enough for a down payment on a house already. *RAAR*
so you might wonder if i have any new year's resolutions. the answer is no, i never believed in them. i think a few years back i made a resolution to smoke less (not give up entirely, just to decrease my overall consumption), but that never worked. i honestly don't know if there's anything that i want to change about my life. of course, my life ain't grand or anything, so you'd think that i'd have some wishes for myself. hm. maybe i should be more social. get in better shape. something.
i had a minor crisis today. during lunch, i noticed that my wallet was missing. i was totally stressed out. i finally found it in my own car; it seems that while i was at the mcdonald's drive through getting breakfast, i pulled my wallet out to get some cash and never put it back in my back pocket. *phew* losing your wallet (or keys) is probably one of the most painful things to have to go through.
it was raining hard a while back today. i hate the fucking rain. during lunch, i forgot to get my sweatshirt, so i was walking/running around in the downpour, getting very wet. gack.
did you know that i can puke on demand? lately, i've been feeling nauseated in the mornings, and i manage to puke up the water that i drink with my medication. pretty gross, huh? hehe.
ok, that's enough for today. bye!
