hey there people. man, today was a wasted day. i had a two-hour meeting where i think i said five sentences/questions. the rest of the time was stuff that had no meaning for me. (fyi, the meeting was about dithering pixels.)
the food at my company cafeteria is getting really monotonous. the previous people who worked in the lunch room had a nice variety of stuff. it wasn't always good, but at least there was something different each day. now, it's all the same old shit every day, and i'm getting fucking tired of it. sigh. so i'm faced with either eating out every lunch or just skipping it altogether.
i miss monday night football. i've grown used to being able to relax after work on mondays by watching a game. now, there is nothing to soothe me from the fact that monday is the worst day of the week. *RAAR*
so this weekend might be a sports-filled one, which isn't all that rare, but this time i'll have someone to watch with. i might be going to the cal @ stanford basketball game on friday night, as well as having a football date with cindy on saturday afternoon. yay for watching sports together! *huzzah*
it's always fun to watch sports with another person. this NFL season, i've watched a couple of games with nelson at his house. (he's got HD!) nelson is passionate about his 49ers, even though they really suck. but he's a loyal faithful of the red and gold, and it's fun watching games with him, especially when he shouts out on big plays. :)
all of this sports talk makes me realize that i want to date a girl who's into sports as well. i know the stereotype is that on sunday, the men watch football while the women go to something else, for example. but it's a cool idea having a girl who's just as into sports as the guy is. i know a couple of girls like that, and that attribute makes me more attracted to them. too bad the two of my favorite girls are on the east coast.
my puma jacket is taking a battering. i just realized a few weeks ago that the underside of my sleeves are filthy. and nowadays, i wear it a lot, so i get a lot of crap on the jacket. the other day, it was some pizza, and today it's a few drops of RED gatorade. man, i hope the gatorade washes out.
brb. smoking break.
i miss my ex-coworker T, my smoking buddy. taking smoking breaks by myself reeks a little bit of loneliness. from what i hear, T is working 12-hour days back in taiwan. maybe he'll decide to come back? yeah, it's unlikely.
anyways, not much else going on today. i'm going to head off soon after i do my daily comics reading. have fun!
i didn't do a whole lot this weekend; it went by took quickly, and i sort of feel it was a waste. *RAAR*
friday night, i met up with bowling gang for dinner at grand indian buffet (the new name for sneha). we chatted a while, and it was fun. afterwards a lot of them went to paul's place to check out their new pug puppy, but i didn't go.
saturday, i woke up around noon and watched football all day. i went to nelson's place to catch the end of the new england/jacksonville contest, but we left before the game ended because it was clear that the patriots were going to win (i think the score was 28-3 at the time). we met up with mikeC and had a fabulous two medium pizzas (great chicago fire and al bundy) at pizza chicago.
sunday, i got up around noon as well and jumped into my football games. midway through the afternoon, i met up with alan at shoreline to hit some golf balls. seeing how i've designated golf to be my new hobby, i decided that i better buckle down and make that a reality.
the problem was, i couldn't hit the ball well at all. i started out with an 8-iron, which should have been easy to hit with, but i kept slicing and worm burning. it was very frustrating, if you can imagine. i got fed up after 50 balls and quit after that.
then, i went home and took a nap. i woke up at 7, got some taco bell, and went to sleep.
yeah, it was a very low-key and boring weekend. hopefully next weekend will be better. we'll see... jay and alan and their respective mates will be in utah the entire weekend, so we'll see who i can hang out with.
