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!
well, it's 4:23pm, and i just got back from lunch. today was my coworker wingman W's birthday, so i took him out. he had a meeting at 1:30, so we decided to go eat after his meeting was over. we finally left at around 3pm or so. i'm stuffed, and i don't think i'll be eating dinner tonight. fyi, i got a pork chop rice at this chinese place in cupertino village.
i've got this sore on the front of my tongue. it fucking hurts. i've been licking the back of my teeth, which must surely aggravate the sore, but i can't stop. it's a compulsive thing. does anyone know what causes these tongue sores? my parents always told me it was from eating fried stuff, but i don't know if that's true or just an old wives tale.
assuming the price of my company's stock stays at where it is (it went up $2 in after hours trading!), the next ESPP is going to rock. our buy-in is somewhere under $9, and lately, the price has been over $20. ROCK!
so this past weekend, i clogged up the toilet again. sigh. i tried to use the plumbing snake i bought, but it's coiled up and fastened by this metal wiring that is impossible to undo using bare hands. anyways, i took a long thick dump on saturday, and ever since then, the toilet has been clogged. man, either my dumps are abnormally thick, or the piping in the toilet is way too thin. if it doesn't flush normally in a few weeks, i'm going to have to ask my landlady to call in the plumber again. how embarrassing!
i'm still relishing our win against washington last night. a friend of mine turned off the tv when we were down by 3 points with 2.9 seconds to go. man, he missed a good one. he's also the one who turned off the game when we were down to washington state two years ago. that one was such a fucking miracle shot by matt lottich.
last night, i kept dreaming about the video game megaman. i played a couple incarnations of the game, and my distress in my dream was figuring out which weapon to use against the various bosses. in short, megaman accumulates the attacks of all the bosses it defeats, and there's always one specific weapon that's supposed to be more effective in killing the other bosses. so it's a lot of trial and error. stressful!
it's been a long time since i've played video games. the last time was when i bought (on a whim) a nintendo gamecube, and i played _metroid prime_ for a while. i got bored of it after about 15 hours of playing.
alan's been asking me if i want to playin _worlds of warcraft_ with him. this past saturday, i went to his place to check out the game. it looks fun, but it also looks way too addicting. so i'm going to pass. did i tell you that i used to be a MUD fanatic? well, WoW is like a graphical version of MUD. so i had best stay away from these types of games. deadly, they are.
jennie just IM'ed me that she wants to go to china too. sigh. i want to go. i feel like i *need* to go, to explore my roots. but i need a travel buddy. *RAAR* who wants to go to china with me? *pleads softly*
ok, that's it for me today. off to clockwatch!
didn't do a whole lot this weekend. friday night, katherine organized a group dinner at maggiano's in santana row. it took me fucking THIRTY MINUTES to find parking there. i don't know what was going on there, but all the parking lots (an there were a lot of them) were jampacked with cars. i wound up way far away.
it was good to see the group (including katherine) there. we got way too much food, and paul wound up taking home about 15-20 pounds worth of food. oh, and the mushrooms were big and salty. heh.
saturday, i woke up and watched a lot of college basketball. i watched the ucla game as well as the cal game. for dinner, i met up with alan, ting, valmik, jay and margaret at korea house. it was a good time, despite the waitress spilling my bottle of OB beer into my crotch. ah, beer-smelling crotch.
sunday, i didn't see a single human soul, except for the drive thru lady (who was sort of cute) at jack in the box. i watched both the stanford women's game (they beat USC) as well as the stanford men's game (they beat #10 ranked washington in overtime). WHAT A FUCKING GAME!
to recap, stanford had the ball at the far end of the court with 2.9 seconds to go, down by 3 points. they did a halfcourt pass to haryasz, who immediately passed it to a cutting hernandez, and he got fouled while attempting a three pointer. he calmly sank all three free throws to send the game overtime, where the cardinal went on a tear and won it in the end. crazy. the 6th man crowd stormed the court afterwards. finally, a quality win!
so that was it. i got ready for bed around 8, and leeya called at 9 to tell me that they were going to tap ex. i wanted to go, but on the other hand, i needed my beauty sleep. :)
*yawn* hello people. it's friday!
i've got no plans for the weekend aside from the stanford men's basketball game against washington sunday night. washington is ranked in the top 25, so it will be a good test for us. go cardinal!
so i have a question for all you car folks. last night, i started my car. no problem there. but then, the car struggling to idle, and quickly died. what do you think the problme is? i had this issue with my car a few years ago, and the folks at the dealer said something about a "sticky valve" and "adjusting the idle speed."
it's amazing that we depend so much on things (i.e. cars, computers) just working, when they are such complicated things. i'm pretty stressed out now, because i don't know when my car will die again. it behaved nicely in the morning, but who knows about future starts? *pukes*
so last night was a big chinese new year's dinner. seven of the folks in the party kept talking about their trip to park city a few weeks ago, when they went to utah to ski. it was sort of lame, because the rest of us couldn't offer anything in terms of conversation, while the seven of them often cracked up in laughter in reminiscing.
i've decided that i don't like big crowds when it comes to social events. maybe 2-4 people is ok, but soon after that, the dynamic get all wonky. it's partially my fault since i'm no good at superficial conversation. oh well.
so i'm done with my coding. yay! now i just have to get it to compile and synthesize. at first, before i started work on my block, i found the task pretty daunting. but every day, i just chipped away at it, and now it's finally done. slow and steady wins the race!
so no football this weekend. man, this season why flew by. then again, the football season is short to begin with, with only 16 regular season games in 17 weeks. after the super bowl, i'm going to focus my attention on basketball, both in the professional and collegiate level. at this point, it looks like stanford will end up in the NIT, which will be really sad. hey, at least my mavericks seem to be doing well. go dirk nowitzki!
it was free lunch today at work, and they served indian food. it was so-so; my biggest complaint was that the chicken in the chicken tikka masala was too dry. but i did have a big helping of kheer (rice pudding). it wasn't too sweet, and it tasted like arroz con leche that i had in spain.
ah, spain. ah, italy. my europe trip a year and a half ago seems so distant in my memory. it was fun time, despite some problems i had with certain members of the group i went with. this year, i want to go to china, but that also means i should (out of obligation and desire) go to taiwan to see my parents. we'll see. i don't know if i have that many vacation days. i have a friend who moved from the states to china (beijing), and word is that he's having a blast.
i wish my life were a blast. sigh.
anyways, i haven't taken a dump today. i think i'm going to go to the bathroom and try to force one out. have a great weekend, folks!
yo!
so i took my 200mg (new dosage) of seroquel this morning, along with my haldol and benztropine. i am VERY sleepy. i read some posts written by people who've taken seroquel, and most of them commented about the sedating effects of the drug. man. how am i supposed to function like this? and i'm supposed to play basketball in about half an hour!
so what's up. i'm writing early today because i have an afternoon meeting and need to get some shit done in addition. writing these entries usually takes me half an hour (it's not that i'm a slow typist, but thinking of things to say takes a long time). i blame the drugs for slowing down my brain. can you imagine if i weren't on medications? these entries would be longer and MUCH more entertaining.
my brother just IM'ed me. he has to write about the group enigma for his medival music history class. the topic of the IM isn't the point; it's the fact that he contacted me just to talk about the events in his life. that touches me. we aren't that close (we're 10 years apart), but love my brother. and i hope that we can grow closer in the future.
i noticed that for the past few months, ever since i IM'ed him for the first time, he adopted my AIM buddy icon. my icon is a woman's nipple, and for a few months, he was using that as well. i never asked him what that was about. but anyways, he's reverted back to his jimmy eat world buddy icon. by the way, my icon is COOL. who doesn't love a woman's breast? :)
what causes bloody boogers? i mean, is it a cut or something inside your nose? how come it doesn't hurt? how come nosebleeds don't hurt? hm. i just picked out quite a large piece of matter in my nose, and it was all black and stuff. i think it's black because it's dried blood. hm.
i get to have peking duck tonight! i can't wait. and also, those honey walnut prawns (which i'm sure we'll order) will be good, too. let the decadence and the consumption of fat begin!
did anybody watch tuesday's _american idol_? you know that fat black girl at the end of the show in the short skirt and the silver tube top? she pissed me off. what i don't get about the show is how so many talentless people (i mean, horrible singers) think that they're good. i mean, how do you NOT know that you suck? it baffles me. i guess narcissism knows no bounds. and self-love blinds you (or rather, it makes you deaf).
ok, that's all i can muster up for today. i'm off to basketball.
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.
so i redeemed myself in basketball today. it was the first time i've played this year, and my shot was off. i even shot an airball! i think i made my first attempt, and i hit another shot from 15 feet somewhere in the middle. but yeah, i was horrible. but i made up for it during the last game by sinking the game winning shot, this acrobatic (if i do say so myself :) layup over the tallest player on the opposing team. i was pretty happy with that.
because of basketball, i didn't eat lunch today. i'm never hungry after exercising, and i came back and ate a snickers bar. i think i'm going to grab a sourdough jack after my safeway visit. i need to buy odwalla, milk, and maybe a box of cereal. i'm getting a little sick of apple jacks, so i'm going to try something different. maybe honeycombs? we'll see.
i'm seeing my psych tomorrow. my tics are still pretty bad, and i don't know what else i can do about them. so far, the meds help a little, but just a tad. i just know that if i'm completely off them (esp. the haldol), my tics go nuts. but still, i tic quite often, and my neck is totally jacked up. sigh. tourette's sucks.
i have two big group dinners coming up, one on thursday and one on friday. i'm looking forward to both of them. being social is fun! not sure what i'm doing for the weekend yet, though. hm.
i've never had a wet dream. i mean, i've dreamt about having sex and all, but i've never gotten to orgasm in a dream. i wonder what that must be like. it's probably a good thing, though, because i don't want to soil my sheets and blankets. but still, it'd be an interesting experience, i think.
what's the difference between a turd that floats in the water and one that sinks to the bottom? the density of the shit? i ask because usually, my dumps settle at the bottom of the toilet, but today, i took a mini-shit, and it didn't sink. *ponder* it just floated there, looking all sad. plus, because part of it wasn't in the water, it smelled pretty bad.
this sunday will be the first one since october (i think) where i won't be watching any football. yup, it's the week hiatus before the super bowl, so i have to find something else to do. there's a stanford game at 5pm, though, so i'll just be looking for an event earlier in the afternoon.
i wonder if any of the married couples i know will get divorced. i mean, i don't wish it on them, but with the high divorce rate in the states, it's bound to happen to someone i know, right?
i wonder how i'd fare on a show like _the bachelor_. i've only watched the first season of it, but i wonder what it's like to have a harem of women to mack on. i can usually tell within minutes of my first meeting whether i like the girl or not, and i rarely give second chances. so after the first night, i'd already know who has potential and who doesn't. would they let me dismiss all the women except for the few who catch my eye?
ok, that's it for today. i wanna get out of the office!
howdy people!
i hope you all had a good weekend.
so for the friday birthday dinner, i busted out my new (and never worn) baby/carolina blue puma jacket. i think it looks quite fabulous, if i do say so myself.
the problem, though, is that it's a light color, and it's started to get dirty already. the cuffs show some discoloration due to rubbing against other objects, and i'm a little sad that it's no longer as pristine as it used to be.
another weird thing is that ever since i've been wearing this jacket, i've been accumulating static charge. i get shocks every once in a while when i tough metal objects. weird, huh? is it the polyester?
so kobe bryant is a monster. for those of you who don't know already, he scored 81 points last night against the raptors. EIGHTY-ONE FUCKING POINTS. amazing.
so before jimmy's birthday dinner on friday, i dropped by paul's place to get a ride. i was greeted by a very young and highly energetic pug puppy named spike. he kept trying to bite my toes (which paul says hurts because he's got sharp teeth), and i had to hoise my legs in the air and rest them on the coffee table to keep him from getting to my feet. and then, he proceeded to take a shit in the living room. ah, now i remember why i don't want a dog. too much shit to deal with! literally!
but yeah, the dog was cute. i usually don't like dogs with smashed in faces, but this one was definitely a cutie pie.
is it odd that the earwax in my right ear has a distinct smell, while the stuff from my left ear is odorless? i can't describe the smell, except that it's very captivating. after digging in my ear canal with my pinky, i can't help but sniff at my finger.
so apparently chinese (lunar) new year is this sunday. to celebrate, a bunch of us are getting together at hunan homes and eating peking duck, among other dishes. i'm excited. i LOVE peking duck. nothing better than duck fat and crispy skin.
however, the group is going to be 5 couples and me. man! 11th wheel, that sucks.
i was talking with mallory, and i asked her about a mutual friend of mine, J. he moved to china (beijing) to work, and he loves it. according to mallory, he hangs out with a lot of ex-pats, and he's meeting a lot of women. hm, i thought. moving to china might be a good idea for me then. of course, i'm too much of a wuss to pack up and head out across the pacific ocean. but maybe i'll visit china this year. that would be fun, wouldn't it? now i just need to find a travel buddy.
ok, that's it for me today. i want to go home.
on friday night, i went to jimmy's birthday dinner at e&o trading company. our group was pretty big, and i noticed how the couples sat at one end and the single people sat at the other. the food was ok, but way overpriced. we shared a lot of small and big plates, and the tab came out to $35. i think some of the people went later to get in 'n out afterwards.
the night started off well. i was happy and jovial, but by the end, my tics worked their way into my head, just like they always do, and i got really quiet, and while a big part of the crowd went to get ice cream, i just wanted to go home and curl up in bed.
saturday, i woke up at 1:40pm, a new record for me for the last few years. i watched the 2nd half of the west virginia/ucla game. that gansey guy on wvu is pretty good.
i drove to alan and ting's place afterwards, and went to valley fair with ting and valmik for a while. i had a big mac and a double cheeseburger for lunch, and then we went off in search of items on valmik's list: pillows, a comforter, socks, boxers, a leather jacket, etc.
i got home in time for the stanford/arizona state game. it was a good game, very close, and in the end, we won by a slim margin. i was happy, and after the game, i got ready for bed.
sunday, i met up with mallory for dim sum in foster city. we went to this place called mr. fong's. it didn't sound good, but the food was surprisingly tasty. my main goal was getting the turnip cakes (lwo bwo gau), and they came out at the very end. we had almost given up! mallory didn't like them, so i ate all three cakes with gusto.
afterwards, i headed off to nelson's place to watch the 2nd half of the broncos/steelers game. since i am now on the steelers bandwagon, i was happy with the result. afterwards, we switched over to fox to watch the seahawks/panthers game. it was kind of boring, so i left somewhere in the 2nd quarter.
alan called me up sunday night, and we met at korea house for dinner. i got the dai ji bul kogi. after dinner, i drove home and got ready for bed.
all in all, a good weekend. too short, though. *sigh* i hate working.
hello folks. i'm SO happy today is friday! woo-hoo!
so it turns out that my mom and i have gotten my dad's birthdate all wrong over all these years. his birthday isn't today, but sunday. 1/20 vs. 1/22. sigh. i feel so bad, but i blame it on never celebrating. my family's weird; we don't celebrate anything. no halloween, no christmas, no thanksgiving, and just a slight (very very slight) hoopla for our birthdays (except for my dad's). yup. weird. sort of sad, actually.
i've got a lot of sports lined up for this weekend. tomorrow night is stanford at arizona state (we *still* haven't won a road game yet), and sunday is chock full of football with the two conference championship games. it seems that a lot of peoiple are rooting for the underdog #6 seed steelers, and i'm going to hop on the bandwagon as well. go jerome bettis!
i want to watch the stanford game with yuji, but i don't know if his gf is going to tie him down. phooey on girls who don't get how important sports are! a few years, ago, yuji and i watched quite a few games at this restaurant/bar called spoons (fair oaks and el camino, i think). it was a good time, although stanford had such a letdown season in the tournament. we were ranked #1 in the nation and lost in the second round to alabama. it was majorly upsetting.
i wish i could find a sugar momma and not have to work.
has anyone seen the and1 basketball shoe commercial? does anyone know the artist behind the hip hop song in the commercial? it's got a good beat, and when i hear it, it makes me want to dance, which is saying a lot because i've retired from dancing.
brb. smoking break.
ok, i'm back. i miss T and our smokes together. last i heard, he was working 12-hour shifts at his company in taiwan. i hope he's not getting burned out. hey, maybe if it gets really bad, he'll come back! ha.
six years to the day. man, i've been single for way too long. i mean, throughout these years, i've had my crushes and chances, but things never turned out well for me. talk about a fucking dry spell!
i still remember our last fight on 1/20/2000. she wanted to go to gordon biersch to get some garlic fries, and me, in my ticcy antisocial state, didn't want to go. so she blew up, and in the heated argument that ensued, she mentioned how she could never marry me. so that was it. my switched turned off at that very moment.
did anybody see the lakers/kings game last night? kobe scored 52 points, yet the lakers lost in overtime. they were up 5 points with like 30 seconds to go, too. man! what a game.
i enjoyed last night's _the OC_ as well. i like how the show resolves most of its plot points by the end of each episode. i don't like cliffhangers, and this show steers clear of them and usually ends on a happy note. i'm not a big fan of kaitlyn (sp?) cooper just yet. i never liked the bad girls. she reminds me of buffy's sister dawn for some reason.
ok, that's it for today. have a great weekend!
shit. i type out this whole entry, and lost it. i highlighted everything, and then, in a fit of tics, i hit the space bar. *RAAR*
but anyways, i've finding it hard to motivate myself to do anything productive. stuff like work and exercise. for example, i was all set to play basketball today, but then my coworkers A and N wanted burritos. so i went with them and skipped my lunch bball session.
lately, i've been eating cereal (my second box of apple jacks) for dinner. my weight is holding steady at 175. however, i eat very little these days, and i'm not losing weight. hm. maybe my metabolism is all fucked up from the cereal dinners. sigh.
did you guys see _american idol_ last night? i thought the little cowboy guy was so cute! he lives in a town of four people, and the only things that have heard him sing are the turkeys on his farm. and he's never been on a plane before! i smiled when i saw that he made it to hollywood; his voice is decent, but he has pitch problems. and to top it all off, he sang the love song from _lion king_. yeah, cute.
hm. what else did i write about?
oh yeah. tomorrow is a big day for birthdays. my dad, peter, and jimmy were all born on january 20th. at least, i *think* my dad was. we never celebrated his birthday as long as i've been alive, and my mom and i don't know the exact date of my dad's birthday. i think it's tomorrow, but maybe we could be wrong. either way, i'll be calling home.
i miss my family.
for jimmy's birthday, we're headed to e&o trading company for a celebratory dinner. is that place any good. any dishes you want to recommend? it's sort of pricey... the food better be good!
my puma jacket is getting dirty. i should go check if it's machine washable. i love this jacket. i bought another puma jacket a month or so ago; it's baby/carolina blue. i have yet to pull it out of the nordstrom bag, though.
i don't like the new espn site redesign. it's the website's 10th anniversary. they have a feature about how the site has evolved. man, it brings back memories. i was first introduced to espn back in 1995, back when it was at espn.sportszone.com or something like that. i wasn't really into sports back then, but now, a decade later, the website and the cable channel are a firm fixture in my world.
so _the OC_ has moved from 8pm to 9pm. ick. that means i go to sleep later. tonight's episode involves marissa's younger sister coming back for winter break. she's supposed to be 14, but from the clips that i've seen, she has big boobs already. man alive! i guess she developed early?
ok, that's it for today. laters!
hey y'all. how goes it?
for lunch, i treated ben because his birthday was just a few days ago. he took me to this place called shan on lawrence and stevens creek. indian and pakistani food. with kebobs. the kebobs were fucking tasty, and i'm still burping them up as we speak. we also ordered the chicken tikka masala and an okra dish. *slurp*
i find that a lot of people don't like okra. something about its consistency or taste or something. me, i LOVE that shit.
i *heart* _scrubs_. i loved the gary busey cameo during the second episode last night. sigh. good writing, random humor, and witty dialogue. good shit.
has anybody out there tried out for american idol? how do they whittle down from thousands of people to the ones who get to actually audition in front of the 3 judges? is there are middle round of cuts where they pick the best and the absolute worst singers? i want to know!
i had a dream last night where this girls i know and i went to poland. POLAND?! yeah, my dreams are often very weird and inscrutable. i think we had to take a test or something, and i decided that poland was the best place to take it.
i wish i remembered my dreams more clearly. i mean, when i wake up at night during the dream, everything makes sense, but after a little while, all that sense melts away, leaving me with indescribable situtations and stuff. i should dig out my portable voice recorded and leave it by my pillow so i could document my dreams. i think they would make for interesting blogging material.
hits are up today. i wonder what's going on. more people looking for perfect asses!
i never used to be an ass man. i was more of a breast man, but these days, seeing a nice chunky soft round derriere with a pair of nice back dimples above them just turns me on. now don't get me wrong, breasts are also fantabulous, but i have come to appreciate the ass in its own right. *yum*
if i were a girl, i think i'd be a lesbian. :) women's bodies are just too sexy.
work is getting crazy. i'm modifying this one block, adding to the code, and it's already over 4000 lines long. that's huge in my book, because my mantra has always been to divide and conquer, i.e. make blocks small and effective. this behemoth of a block is testing my limits, as far as keeping everything clean and elegant.
anyways, did anybody watch the golden globes? i just skimmed over the winners, and it seems _brokeback mountain_ won a lot of awards. is the movie any good? i'm not homophobic or anything, and if it's a compelling flick, then i'd be up for seeing it.
ok, that's it for me today. gonna go home soon and watch the last half of last night's AI.
howdy!
last night, i decided to pluck out some overgrown nose hairs. yes, it hurts, and it stings. but the weird thing is that two of the nose hairs were gray! i mean, am i a stress case or what, having grey nose hairs?
that is really all that i wanted to share today. but let's see here... what else can i report on. *rummages around*
i am torn at 9pm tonight whether to continue watching _american idol_ auditions or two _scrubs_ episodes. i know, i could tape one (scrubs) and watch the other (AI), but i don't like watching recorded shows; it feels like a chore to me. but hm. we'll see what happens tonight.
there are some friends of mine that don't live in the area, so when i talk to them on the phone, i extend the conversation, asking them for updates on their lives, etc. but i've noticed lately that for the friends that i am capable of seeing face-to-face, i keep my phone conversations really short. it's like i want to save the talking for our eventual meeting up.
i gotta get some work done today. *RAAR*
i don't know why people are giving adam morrison such a hard time about his moustache. for those of you who don't know, morrison is a play on the gonzaga men's basketball game, and he is the leading scorer in the nation right now. he sports a moustache, which i don't think it all that odd, but the world is giving him grief about it. i guess it looks kinda scruffy, but i don't think it's so bad.
i wonder why we like the smell of our own farts. or at least, we don't mind them. at night, when i'm in bed, when i feel a fart coming on, i cup my right hand over my asshole, and after letting it out, i smell the "cupped" gas. i love it! i mean, i wouldn't want to smell it constantly, but it always brings a smile to my face.
you know what i have a hankering for? fried okra. DAMN THAT IS GOOD SHIT. unfortunately, though, i only know of one place that has it, and it's a little far from my place. it's this soul food place on lafayette. but yeah, i miss fried okra. i used to get it all the time back in texas at luby's.
luby's. man, that brings me back. right now, i'm waxing nostalgia about my childhood. going to luby's with my family and experiencing their "cafeteria style" food-getting system. ambrosia!
*sniff* i miss my family. i love my parents. i don't say it to them, but i really do. sigh. my dad's trying to get me to install skype so we can talk for free overseas. maybe i'll try doing that tonight. btw, his birthday is in 3 days.
ok, time for lunch! if you haven't noticed, i'm sending this post out early today so i have no distractions in the afternoon. gotta work!
howdy folks!
recently, i realized that after being single all these years, it would be a huge adjustment to have somebody constantly by my side once again. i think i would either get annoyed or bored, both of which are bad things. so i'm thinking that it would take someone pretty damn special to get me over that problem.
i think i've just gotten too independent. and lazy. the laziness factors into the mix because if i had a significant other, i'd have to make efforts for us to do stuff and not just sit at home watching football and other sports, you know? hm.
sigh. so it's another monday. do any of you get today off? or is MLK mainly for government and schools? *RAAR*
so the word is that alan is trying to get me playing _worlds of warcraft_. i am afraid to do it. well, for one, you have to pay a monthly fee to play the game online, and second, i used to heavily addicted to MUD. and i've always dreamed of playing a graphical MUD; many years ago, i bought _ultima online_ but never played it. so yeah, i think i'd spent too much time on the game and lose my life. (but then again, what life do i have now? *shrug*)
so yet another one of my college friends is expecting a child. i found out on saturday, and i was very happy for them. man. my college friends are popping kids out left and right! i am very behind, very very behind them.
have you ever taken a dump where it takes multiple squeezing sessions to get the turd out? today, i was on the crapper, and mid-turd, i stopped squeezing. it felt very uncomfortable. i guess my sphincter doesn't like it when it's stretched open with nothing going on. i need action!
one thing i need to get back into is investing. too much of my savings is languishing in low-interest accounts. but then again, i am very much afraid of losing all of my savings like i did in the dot bomb days. sigh. had i kept all of my stock money in cash, i'd probably have bought a house by now. *blech*
but yeah, it's important to get your money to work for you. maybe i need to speak with a financial advisor. where do i get one of those?
so who are you guys rooting for in the super bowl? i think i'm going to hop on the pittsburgh steelers band wagon. i like jerome bettis, and if he's going to retire after this season, he might as well do it with a bang. plus, it'd be quite an accomplishment for a #6 seed to win it all.
anyways, not much else to report. i'm going home in an hour. take it easy people!
hey people. how was your weekend?
friday night, cindy and i went to the stanford vs. cal men's basketball game. it was a good contest, and cal cut stanford's lead to 2 points in the 2nd half before we pulled away at the end. i was stressed out for most of the game, as i usually am when watching the cardinal play.
for the first time, we stayed until the game ended, and man, getting out of the parking lot was hell. it must have taken us half an hour to get onto el camino. sheesh.
then, saturday afternoon, cindy and i watched the redskins play the seahawks. cindy is a redskins fan, btw. we ordered a domino's pizza (sausage, mushroom, and jalepeno, which took an hour to arrive), and had a good time. after the game was over (the redskins lost), i took a little nap and met up with nelson for some pho for dinner. then we went back to his place and watched the new england patriots lose to the broncos.
sunday, i watched the last quarter or so of the colts/steelers game. damn, it was an exciting final 5 minutes or so. i was really rooting for the colts to win, but in the end, they came up short with a badly shanked field goal. poor peyton. i was sort of bummed out.
then, after starting to watch the carolina panthers/chicago bears game, i had to leave to pick up jay and margaret at the airport. what's even better is that alan and ting took the same flight! it was a joyous reunion for me with my best buds at oakland airport, and i was happy to see them again. for thanking me for picking them up, jay and margaret got me a roots t-shirt and a park city moose shotglass. :)
i went home, took a nap, and went to gombei for dinner. i organized a party of seven taiko alum (including rosh's wife joy), and it was good seeing everyone again. unfortunately, my tics started acting up again, and i got very quiet and didn't say much. sigh. i hate my tourette's.
anyways, that was it for the weekend. i'm bummed we didn't get MLK off; a short workweek would have been nice. :(
whutup people. i'm so fucking glad that it's friday.
i'm wearing one of my stanford t-shirts today. in less than 3 hours, cindy will be watching our alma mater take on our nemesis on the basketball floor. cal is doing pretty well this year, so it'll be a tough game for us.
i had the strangest dessert today for lunch. it was shaped like a long dumpling (with thicker skin), but inside was a bunch of chopped walnuts in some sort of thick semi-sweet syrup. i can't say it was good, but it was definitely interesting. not sure if i'd ever try it again.
speaking of desserts, i love baklava.
i've arranged a large taiko alum dinner at gombei this sunday. if everything goes right, there will be 7-8 people there, which is a lot of people for us. i'm looking forward to catching up with the taiko peeps; i haven't seen them for a while. and plus, it's at gombei! that's my favorite restaurant; never disappoints.
i'm debating whether or not i'm going to pick up jay and margaret at oakland airport sunday afternoon. i'd have to drive jay's SUV because they have a lot of stuff (they went to alabama for a few days, and then off to park city for some snowboarding), and i'm always skitting about driving somebody else's car. but we'll see. i don't want them to waste their money by riding in some shuttle.
yesterday, i had dinner with yuji at ryowa ramen, our usual spot. it was good catching up with him, especially since he never updates his xanga anymore. according to him, he's done with blogging on xanga, so i guess i'll just have to get updates from him personally from time to time.
so today is my coworker V's last day at the company; he starts at nvidia on monday. he's one of my better friends here, and i'm going to miss him. sigh. why do people have to leave? my last remaining good friend is my wingman W, and if he leaves, then i'm going to be *really* sad.
i was never a big fan of sweaty, hot sex. ok, hot sex is good, but sweaty is no good. i do like the imagery of it, i.e. glistening writhing bodies, but i just hate high temperatures. i mention this because today i was forwarded a link to some naked people playing taiko, and some of the camera shots showed that their skin was so wet it was reflecting light. sort of captivating to look at, but i just don't like the reality of it.
i hope i make it through the basketball game all right. the last time i went, my tics started bothering me, and i was a bit edgy by the end of the game. sitting in bleachers, i can't put myself in the weird poses that i do to keep myself from ticcing. we'll see, i guess. maybe if the game is good, it'll take my mind off from my tics.
anyways, that's it for this week. have a good one, folks!
hey people. i had a horrible night's sleep. i kept on getting these filling-up chest pains, and i repeatedly burped up some the odwalla superfood that i had earlier in the night. i don't know what was wrong, except that these pains kept coming every few minutes. i drank the superfood on its expiration date, so maybe it went bad or something. either way, i just couldn't sleep.
last night, i had dinner with dj at sushi tomi in mountain view. he got this habanero fish roe sushi, and man, it was fucking spicy! i had like 5 fish roe (you know small these things are), and already i could feel the slow burn getting worse and worse. i am impressed that dj ate the whole thing. it can't be good for your digestive tract!
ouch, my stomach hurts. brb. i'm gonna go try to take a dump.
(15 minutes later) man, i dropped a big load. it came in small pieces, but there was a ton of stuff. i feel worlds better now. :)
it's interesting how other people can influence the way i do things. for example, every since people were aghast at how i only wipe my ass once, i've been faithfully wiping it twice, and wiping hard. and i used to be a toilet paper crumpler, but after some consultation with people i know, i changed to a t.p. folder. silly, huh?
man, i'm sleepy. coupled with my horrible night, i also ate quite a bit at lunch. and now i want to take a nap.
i like burping. and sneezing. bodily functions, in general, are quite delightful.
i had a dream last night where i was back in college, exploring a new (and quite large) dorm. somewhere during the dream, k1 appeared. and i was happy to see her. it still makes me sad these days to know that we used to be so close, and now we are worlds apart. it's all my fault, really; i didn't handle our breakup that well, and wound up hurting her a lot (to the point where it was traumatic for her).
can you guys get a boner just by thinking about sexual topics? i used to be able to do it quite easily, but these days, that's a rare feat to accomplish. i've managed to do it a few times in the recent past, but it takes a generally horny mood to be able to pull it off.
all right. i've spent too much time on this entry. gotta go.
hello people. i am very upset right now. i'm supposed to debug this thing that has nothing to do with me; i don't know the design or what it's supposed to do, yet i've been asked to figure out what is wrong. that's almost fucking impossible to do! *RAAR*
anyways, days like this, i really hate my job. it just gets me down. i've been wondering what else i'm qualified to do, and the thing is, i don't want to switch fields because i'd have to start all over again, e.g. my salary. i've built up enough of a good reputation as a chip designer that i've managed to rake in a decent salary. sigh. change is tough.
at this point, i am just dying for the weekend to come. i guess i should be happy that today is hump day, and the workweek is half over. but still, the weekend couldn't come sooner.
i had a mini-nightmare last night. i don't remember the full details, but it was like something from _the ring_, i.e. electric appliances acting on their own and causing an impending death. i remember waking up right before i was supposed to get killed, and realizing that i was in a nightmare and then trying to think happy thoughts to make the scary imagery go away. *phew*
i must have had some fitful sleep. i woke up with my blankets all messed up and sideways and shit. i wonder what's on my mind that's been bothering me and manifesting itself in my sleep. maybe it's work. *ponder*
i had my favorite thai dish (jun pad poo) today for lunch. four of us headed out to mountain view for burritos, but then V mentioned that krung thai had opened up a location in the san antonio shopping center, so we went there instead. man, jun pad poo is soooo fucking good. fyi, i ordered it "spicy" and without onions. the onions are no good.
i've been trying to figure out what causes my dumps to be dry and solid and what makes them soft and mushy. so far, i can't come up with any correlating factors; it's just sort of random how they turn out. i like my dumps to be dry. they smell better and feel better coming out. hm. i wonder if i would enjoy anal sex with me being the recipient.
i thoroughly enjoyed last night's back-to-back episodes of _scrubs_. it's such a good show. i laughed out loud during the bit about fondling breasts. man, i haven't touched a boob in a long long time. i love boobs. i miss boobs. i sort of with i had some of my own to play with.
it seems alan is enjoy ting's christmas gift, this video game called worlds of warcraft. i think this is another one of those online RPG's. i used to play MUD a lot, and this is sort of like a graphical version of the text-based games of old. man, i was so addicted to MUD over two summers at my summer job. alan has been prodding me to play, but i think i would just get addicted all over again. *shiver* you wouldn't believe how much time i sank into MUD during those two summers at TI.
ok, that's the deal-io for today. back to my futile debugging.
hello people. how are you doing? lurkers, come on, leave me a comment and say hi, won't you? :)
so yup, it's all confirmed. cindy and i will have a doubleheader back-to-back sports viewing event! friday night, we're headed to stanford to watch the men's bball team take on cal (should be a good game), and saturday, we watching the redskins (i guess she roots for them) and seahawks football playoff game. that's like almost six hours of sports watching!
i've also set up some dinner during the week. tomorrow night, i'm having dinner with dj, and thursday, i'm having ryowa ramen with yuji. verrry exciting!
i don't have much to say today. i had lunch today with ex-coworkers V and O. we went to the sunny V cafe again for some japanese food. their california rolls are very disappointing because they use the fish cake imitation crab shit. hey, at least miyake uses REAL crab! *hrmph*
i miss miyake. there was a stretch of time during college when k2 and i would go there practically every weekend (for lunch, not dinner. dinners there were too loud and crazy). the waiters and sushi chefs all knew us, and it was a pretty cool atmosphere.
ok, time for my 5pm smoking break.
one place (restaurant) i haven't been to in years is fiesta del mar on shoreline and 101. there's a place called "fiesta del mar too" downtown on castro, too, and the menu's are the same. i used to get the chimichanga there. it's a DEEP-FRIED burrito! soooo good. and so bad for you, too. *yum* i was going to go there with dj, but he already went once this week. *sobs*
i'm excited for television tonight. two more new episodes of _scrubs_!! i wonder how long the show will go on, because now j.d. (zach braff) is an attending. how much further up can he go? just stay there? anyways, this is my favorite show on tv, and i hope it goes on for a long time.
the show that i'm sort of worried about is _the OC_. next year, the kids will be in college, and with seth and summer headed out to the east coast, and ryan and marisa headed up to berkeley, i don't know how they can manage to do a good show. we'll see, i guess.
i got a random boner today while resting my eyes in my cube. like i said before, handjobs are the fantasy du jour for me right now. it's sort of odd, though, because i've never gotten a complete handjob in my life. so maybe i idealize the act? *ponder*
anyways, it's almost time to go home. i got some more debugging to do before i head off. so have a nice day!
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.
man, i am overhydrated. so far today, i've had 4 vitasoy's, a can of coke, half a bottle of gatorade, a bowl of miso soup, and a cup and a half of green tea. i feel bloated! my stomach is all huge and stuff. if i had breasts, they'd be a cup size bigger.
i always liked my gf's boobs when they were having their period. the extra water weight made them larger, and you know how i love playing with breasts. shower time!
but a word of caution: don't drink too much liquids. once, freshman year of college, we played water poker. you know, where you ante up and raise by shots of h2o. people wound up shivering, and i managed to puke up most of the water so i didn't have to get up in the middle of the night to go take a leak. later, i learned that overhydration is very dangerous, and it could kill you. so no more water poker, people!
i have no plans for the weekend. however, i am taking jay and margaret to the airport tonight. their red-eye is as 12:30am or something, but i think i'm going to give them a ride around 10 or something. i just can stay up that late, you know? i'm an old man!
i think i'm going to wind up watching a lot of football over the next two days. it's the NFL playoffs now, and the games mean a whole lot more. plus, the teams are a lot better, too, so i think the games will be more fun and action-packed. fyi, i am rooting for peyton manning and the colts like a lot of the nation. i think peyton deserves it. no more patriots! phooey on them!
so the zit on my back scalp is receding. what happens when a zit cures itself on its own? where does all that pus and blood go? does it just get broken down and "digested" by the body? *ponder* i just wish i could have popped it; it would have been grand.
so that damn numa numa chorus is *still* stuck in my head. it's been a whole week now! by the way, you can view the video here. it's so mesmerizing (the guy's performance) and catchy (the tune)!
for lunch today, we went to this place in sunnyvale/santa clara called "sunny cafe" or something. it's basically a cheap japanese restaurant. i had the chicken katsu curry, and man, the chicken breading was really salty. *thirst*
so which football teams are you guys rooting for?
ok, time to go take a leak. i drink a lot more liquids at the office (where drinks are free), but that also means i take more trips to the bathroom. but i don't mind. it's good to be hydrated. :)
well, i got back from my dinner with carol (which was nice), in time to watch the 4th quarter of the rose bowl. all i can say is, "HOLY SHIT!" both offenses looked unstoppable, but vince young took the take with his scrambling abilities. so fucking exciting!
scrambling quarterbacks like vince young and michael vick are so fun to watch. i just wonder how long they'll be able to keep it up before they get too old and banged up to play. i mean, they're just accidents waiting to happen. better develop into a good pocket passer, that's what i say.
i'm eating corn chips right now. i don't like them very much, but the vending machine wasn't very well stocked and provided a dearth of variety. i skipped lunch and basketball today because i was busy with work. sigh. i still have a lot to do before the weekend; hopefully i can buckle down tomorrow and really get some shit done.
i think i eat too fast. sometimes i cough while swallowing, and the food gets stuck up in my nasal passages. then, i blow my nose, and food comes out. !! yeah, it's pretty gross, but i also find it fascinating. oh, and spicy stuff really burns my nostrils!
i know i've asked this before, but when you people take dumps, do you drop your pants all the way to your ankles, or do you lower them just enough? i noticed a guy in the stall today had his pants all the way down, and i just thought to myself, "boy, that must be drafty." me, i like to keep my package nice and warm. :)
i was watching old episodes of the spelling bee championships on espn the other night. boy, english is one fucked up language. there are so many random spellings and alternate pronunciations and stuff like that. i mean, the words "though" and "thought" are pronounced differently, and words like "obsess" and "possess" sound the same but have different numbers of s's! i mean, you don't get that shit with languages like spanish or japanese.
i just had a cigarette break with my boss. he's a good guy. he's concerned that i've been single for a long time, which is cool because it shows me that he cares about my life outside of the office. he recommended match.com. ha! :)
so what's good on tv? i'm thinking of watching _dancing with the stars_, but i'm not really into the idea. i just want to see jerry rice try to get twinkle toes. that, and the girl from the WWF. (i refuse to call it the WWE, because it sounds lame.) she's got long legs. sexy!
i *still* have the numa numa song stuck in my brain. it's been days already!
ok, time to read my comics!
(whoops. i wrote this yesterday, but forgot to post it.)
hey there. i've a ton of work due friday, and zero motivation to do it. i guess i'm still on vacation mode; it's hard to be a code monkey when all i want to do is be home and take a nap. :(
the power went out last night. i was watching espn from my bed, and suddenly, everything went black. i heard a click from a nearby townhouse, and peek out the window to see all the lights were out. luckily, the power was restored overnight, or else i wouldn't have been able to get my car out of the garage! *phew*
so tonight's the big rose bowl game. i am rooting for USC, like the majority of the united states. i'd like to see them threepeat, and after that they've had enough of the championships. sort of like the new england patriots. i mean, a dynasty is nice and makes for a nice story, but enough is enough.
unfortunately, i won't be able to watch the game, because i'm having dinner with carol in milpitas. i haven't seen her in well over a year (she's in business school in NYC), so it'll be good to catch up with her. and this year, after she graduates, she'll be headed back out to the bay area. *huzzah*
does anybody know when _alias_ will start up again? the website says something about march. i have a hankering to watch rachel nichols (the actress who plays rachel gibson in the show). hopefully she'll wear glasses again. she's pretty hot! i know, normally, i don't like blonde women, but i'll make an exception for her. plus, she's got good eyebrows, too.
i'm happy that _scrubs_ is back. i watched last night's one hour season premiere, and i was glad to see that the show hasn't lost a step. it's still random and quirky, and well-written.
so yeah, the holidays are over, and i'm slightly depressed. granted, i didn't do a whole lot over the break, but it was nice not having to go into work. *RAAR*
so jay mentioned that he saw some article about the top downloads of 2005. one of them is this roly poly 19-year old dude lipsynching to the numa numa song. we finally found it on google the other day, and i have to say... it's MESMERIZING! i have the song (or at least the chorus) running on repeat in my head today. it's sort of annoying, but i smile every time i picture that guy going nuts in the video.
so people have been asking: do i have any new year's resolutions? and my answer is: NO. i have never made new year's resolutions, probably because i'm too lazy and undisciplined to carry them out. i mean, i should exercise more, eat better, learn how to cook, stop smoking, find a girl, etc. etc. but nah, i'm probably just going to coast through 2006 the way i've been going about it the last few years. yup, slow, uneventful, and stagnant.
i had an 18-inch dump this morning. when it came out (after some clenching and pushing), it finally came out in this one long stream. man, i was totally backed up. and luckily, this dump didn't come out at home, where it would have surely clogged up my toilet.
so i'm excited for tv tonight... _scrubs_ is back! it's probably my favorite show, and i've missed it. i love the writing and the randomness, and as a bonus, it's a one-hour premiere!
so my cowboys are out of the playoffs. boo fucking hoo. i was glued to the NFL scores on sunday, hoping that either the panthers or the redskins would lose. but no, they won their games, leaving dallas in the dust and at home for the playoffs. sigh. i hope bill parcells stays for another season and help the team make it to the postseason next year.
i've been having fantasies about handjobs (tekoki) lately. i dunno what it is about them, but thinking about them turns me on. maybe it's the fact that someone else is attending to pleasuring you 100%. stroking, caressing, etc. it's good shit. maybe i should buy some tekoki porn.
ma ya hi...
i have this massive zit on my head. it's on my scalp, and i can't seem to get enough leverage to pop it. i bet if i did, though, it would be ultra-satisfying, with all the pus and juices and blood that would explode out.
anyways, yeah. i'm bored. at least this is a short workweek. coolio! ok, bye!
let's see if my memory serves me well...
wednesday night, some of us grabbed pearl milk tea at tap ex in mountain view. i noticed at another table two people who i recognized from stanford, but i didn't make any effort to go over and talk to them.
thursday, i had lunch with ben in milpitas. we went to penang garden, and it was good catching up with him. after that, i took my usual 2-3 hour nap on the futon and chilled by myself for the rest of the day.
friday, i had a late lunch with alan at the prolific oven. i had alreay eaten (jack in the box), so i just got TWO danishes as desert. that was way too much danish for one sitting, although the cheese and apricot parts were very good. the surrounding stuff had this almond taste to it, and i didn't like it that much.
within a few hours, i met up with adam at passage to india. he got two plates of food, but i should only stomach one. which is a shame, because the food was actually pretty good. adam brought $1 dollar off buffet coupons.
saturday, i went to hobee's to have brunch with jeremy, kate, baby audrey, jan, and shaun. jeremy, kate and audrey live in new hampshire, so it was good to see them. i miss jeremy, who was a roommate for two years right after we graduated from college.
for new year's eve festivities, i went over to cheryl's place in sunnyvale. i shared a shot of patron reposado tequila with mike, and that was enough alcohol for me, seeing as how i'm petrified and paranoid of having to stare down an other dui checkpoint. we watched some movies on dvd (kung fu mah-jong and kung fu hustle), and watched the ball drop as streamers and noisemakers flew and clattered. i went to bed around 2am, which is a record for me in the recent years.
sunday, i watched some football and basketball (somewhere in there stanford lost twice to the LA schools and fell to 0-2 in the pac-10), and grabbed some food with jay and margaret at whole foods. i had a vegetarian pizza, sushi, and an odwalla super protein vanilla almondo, which tasted like flavored cardboard.
monday, i putzed around, but i managed to have dinner with alan and ting at korea house. the service was pretty bad, given and that i was a very busy night for the wait staff.
and that was it. and now i'm back at work. *sobs* at least it's a short work week, though.
