man, i was USELESS today at basketball. i made one jumper (out of like 8 or so) and made one layup on a fast break. i felt totally futile, and i think my teammates hate me for sucking and not playing good defense. oh well. as long as i get my exercise and don't piss off anyone...
today's been a mad scramble to find people to watch the super bowl with. for the past two years, adam have watched it together (the first year, some of his other friends came), but this time, adam's gonna watch with some of his friends on HDTV. i'm insanely jealous that he gets to experience the HD version of the game, but i just didn't want to watch it in a big crowd of people that i don't know.
but anyways, the current plan is to watch the game with two of my taiko friends. that's a good small crowd, and i think we're going to top off super bowl sunday with a trip to gombei. mmmm, gombei... *slurp* it's my favorite restaurant! affordable, and good japanese home cooking.
i've been craving burger king lately. i ate only one meal yesterday, and i didn't have lunch because of basketball, so basically i haven't eaten in over 24 hours. i know burger king isn't good for you, but when i'm hungry, lots of shit food places (like taco bell) sound good. and i'm definitely famished as i type this.
so luckily for me, the toilet unclogged last night. i was preparing for it to overflow last night when i negotiated the clog. first, i got a nasty cup and scooped out the water to lower the water level. then, i flushed. i was all prepared to raise the little balloon thing in the tank, but to my surprise (and relief), the water swirled down. happy.
so this weekend, the whole college gang (plus other couples, it's all couples, *RAAR*) are headed up to tahoe. so i'm left to my own devices for saturday. anybody wanna hang out? gimme a call! :)
yeah, i will miss out on all the ski trips from here on out. i retired from skiing, and snowboarding kicked my ass the first time i tried it. so there's no point in going up there, because i'd be bored the whole day. i know that the nights would be fun, with buffets and gambling and just overall hanging out, but it's just not worth it when i do nothing while the others are on the mountain. oh well.
i've been getting headaches every time i go play basketball. i wonder if it's because i'm dehydrated or something. i mean, i drink a whole bottle of gatorade during the games, and when i get back, i usually drink even more liquids, for the past three times this year when i've played bball, i've gotten some nasty headaches. hm. poor me.
i miss the days a few years ago when i didn't have many tics. social events were more fun, and my neck and shoulders didn't constantly hurt. overall, i was in a much better mood back then. sigh. i blame my job for giving me stress.
remember back when i talked about taiko all the time? well, it seems that some of the alums from stanford taiko now have an outlet for playing, and it's close to where i live, too. (it's at the mountain view buddhist temple.) man, i haven't hit a drum in several years! after the super bowl, i think i'm going to try making some of the sessions on sunday afternoons. i wonder how out of shape i'll be. i was at my fittest back when i played in college. it takes a lot of arm and leg muscles to play, you know?
ok. it's almost 5pm. gonna pick up my medication at safeway and make my long-awaited expedition to BK afterwards. bye!
