hey there people. sorry i didn't update yesterday; i was feeling like ass, so i left the office early. the good thing was that i got to watch one of my favorite shows, espn's _pardon the interruption_, but the bad news was that i coiuldn't enjoy it because of my illness.
i feel better today, a little weak, and still a sore throat, but overall, i'm better than i was a day ago.
i had lunch with my coworkers J and C today at the cheap korean place. they're two new college grads that are working here at Z. it's nice to hang out with them because they're young and are bristling with energy. i remember when i first started working, when i was all idealistic and motivated and stuff. nowadays, i'm just a bitter, jaded engineer. :/
so yeah, it's valentine's day today. bah humbug! i'm not even wearing red today, and why should it? *phtooey* silly hallmark holiday. it's amazing, though, how important it is to some women. one time, with k1, i told her that i didn't plan on doing anything special for the day, and she got really mad, broke down and cried, and wound up throwing her razor at me. ok, so i was really young back then, and i've certainly grown to realize that valentine's is a really big deal.
speaking of razors, how many blades are they going to put on a razor? first, there were three blades (mach 3), and then came quatro (4 blades), and now they're got a five-blade (fusion) razor. i think it's going overboard. how much of a difference does having one more blade have? *ponder* i wouldn't know; i'm an electric shaver kind of guy.
it's interesting to see how the US olympic coverage is different from other countries. here, it seems all the stories have an american "tint" to them. two years ago, when i was on my italy/spain trip during the athens olympics, the coverage seemed to be about everything, not just the italian or spanish angles. i think it goes to show what kind of bias the american press has. and come on, i want to watch some CURLING! haha.
have you ever taken a dump, and when it was done with, you feel like there's more to come? i had one of those today. after the main turd came out, my sphincter was still ringing and itching for more action. after i wiped and washed my hands, it was still begging for more. the feeling went away after a few minutes, but yeah, i was *this* close to rushing back into the stall and pushing for more.
