memories of japan

howdy folks!

i'm burping up the eggrolls i had for lunch. it was a chinese-themed lunch today downstairs in the cafeteria, and it wasn't all that bad. (btw, i didn't play basketball today. feeling lazy.) the tofu with black bean sauce was pretty good, and the three mini-eggrolls weren't bad, either. i love flavored burps.

so it looks like the shit is going down on tonight's _the OC_. seth gets busted for smoking out, and the love triangle between ryan, marissa, and johnny finally looks like it's going to be resolved. i can't wait!

speaking of smoking out, i feel like getting high one of these days. i don't think i tic while stoned, so it'd be a nice break for my tourette's. i asked my psych if he would prescribe me pot for my tics, but he was vehemently opposed to getting invoilved in the whole medical marijuana issue. oh well. maybe i should ask one of my friends if they can score me some pot.

i've smoked out a few times, mainly in college. i can't say that i enjoyed it, though. the thing is, when i'm stoned, i get MAJOR MUNCHIES. and the thing is, i'm eating all this stuff, and i swallow before i can chew the food, so it goes down my throat whole. it hurts! but otherwise, i just get really mellow and fall asleep.

i noticed today in the break room that they had squirt (the drink). i've forgotten how much i like grapefruit-flavored sodas. then again, in my effort to cut down on soda calories, i only allowed myself one can of squirt. maybe i should ask them to carry fresca instead. isn't fresca a zero calorie drink?

my dad's crazy about wireless internet webcams. he's installed a few in our house back in dallas, so he can log on and see if people are trespassing. but my question is: what can he do about it? and today he emailed my brother and me the URL to see what's going on at his place in taiwan. crazy!

the good news from him, though, is that my mom is feeling better these days. that's good. and apparently, they hosted three church members from russia these past few days. i saw some pictures, and one of the russian ladies had bright ORANGE hair! wow. where do you even get orange hair dye?

so earlier today, i was reminiscing about my six months in japan. that was over a decade ago. but anyways, i thought about the finnish guy that i hung out with, ilkka. so i googled his name (thank god i remembered his last name), and his homepage popped up! hehe. he was a cool dude, and one of my favorite memories of japan was getting drunk and playing virtua cop with him.

his homepage had some pictures of his time in japan, and i was in one of them. man, i looked bored, huh? and check out my multicolored baseball cap from structure! hey, is structure still around? i haven't seen one of those stores in years.

i cherish the memories of good times. i would have to develop a condition (like alzheimer's) where i forget about things. i mean, i already feel part of my memory going, but thank goodness that most of them are still intact in my brain.

all righty-o. that's it for me today. bye!
