mongolian bbq revisit

so today. i rallied 3 others to join me in a su's mongolian bbq expedition. we hadn't been there in several months. it was pretty good, although i ate too much. in addition to my big bowl of stuff, i also had FIVE eggrolls. now the eggrolls aren't that big, but still... five. the others didn't like the food so much, but i think it's because they didn't add enough flavors to their bowls. mine was perfectly spicy (i use two and a half ladlefulls of the chili paste).

the older i get, as an engineer, the lazier i become. lately, the company has hired a few college grads. not only are they cheaper, but they also work harder. and i think the most important thing is that since they have no experience, they don't know what can't be done easily and what can be done. i, too, used to be an innocent engineer, but now that i've been in the business for almost a decade, i know what kind of work each project takes, and i've just become too damn lazy to work that hard.

i went to see my psych this morning. we're a little bit baffled as to what medication regimen to use, but my doctor suggested i up the seroquel in the mornings. this is highly sedative medication, so i hope i don't wind up falling asleep at work.

oh, and i weighed in at 188.4 pounds at his office. SHIT. and my psych told me that my face had filled in. man. i'm 12 pounds away from 200, and 28 pounds heavier than my lightest weight. what am i doing wrong? maybe it's all the soda i drink at work. or not exercising in a few months. or i was wearing heavier clothes. because i'm definitely eating less, sometimes to a fault. I DON'T WANT TO BE FAT AGAIN!

i taped the second half of last night's _american idol_ because i was watching the double episodes of _scrubs_ at 9pm. i liked that one girl, jenny pickler. she was cute, and humble. humility is underrated. i love humble people, because arrogance and blind pride just piss me off. i hope this girl goes far. she definitely needs to build some confidence, though.

well, i took a dump today, and the big log was a floater. i guess this means i'm well hydrated? hehe. yeah, and since part of the shit was above the water, it smelled pretty bad.

sometimes i hate my routines. the recent example is reading the comics on the web. i go to msnbc and yahoo for my comics fix, but the problem is, i never find any of them to be funny or enjoyable. so it becomes a chore, and nobody likes a chore. and yet, i can't stop because it's become a routine. sigh. i blame my obsessive compulsiveness for this.

one thing that i like about having read blogs for almost 5 years is watching people grow up. not that they're juvenile to begin with or anything, but i feel like i've gotten to know them, and i've had the pleasure of seeing them mature and change through the years. it's pretty cool. i wish all of my friends blogged.

however, one thing that i can't tell is whether or not *i* have matured. i'm sure that if i read my archives, i'd find some of my writing embarrassing. but as far as growing older and wisening up? i don't know. i still feel the same.

i have a question. has anybody seen big mama or whatever it is where that dude dresses up in a fat suit and pretends to be a grandma? i was watching ads for the sequel on tv, and i wondered: if he wears a fat suit 24/7, how does he take a dump or a piss? surely his pelvic region is enveloped by the fat suit, so he does he go to the bathroom? *ponder*

ok, enough silliness. i'm out.
