hey folks. man, i'm sleepy. we (three of us) went to hc dumpling today. yummy shit, that is. i kept burping up the shao long bao, and it reminded of what wonderful flavor they have. ah, the juiciness! plus, we had a coupon for one free order, to we only paid $12 each after tax and tip.
the weather sure has been weird lately. this weekend, the sky was blue, and the temperature was nice, but one day after (today), it's raining and cold. it's pretty amazing how the weather can change so quickly.
oh! today's dump was AMAZING. it was over TWO FEET LONG! the first section was sort of thick, but after that, it was just this long stringy turd. and it floated too. i wiped my ass thrice this time. i just couldn't get my sphincter feeling clean again.
i've been trying to remember to brush my tongue these days, but i usually forget and rinse before doing it. i need someone bold enough to stick their nose in my mouth to tell me if my tongue stinks. chances are, it does.
oh, the place where nelson and i went to was the firehouse grill and brewery. just to let you all know. we both decided that we wouldn't go back again. it'd be a cool place to watch sports, though; they have these flat panel tv's all over the place. but the dinner are too expensive for what they are; better next time to order some bar food or something and share it amongst a lot of people.
it just thundered! i haven't heard thunder in YEARS. kind of cool.
so terrell owens is now a dallas cowboy. i don't know how i feel about that; i'm still miffed at mr. owens for celebrating on the midfield star at texas stadium back when he was a 49er. what a fucking prick! hehe. i hope bill parcells can control him and make him a productive (and more importantly, well-behaved) wide receiver.
this past week or so, i've been smoking more than usual. i'm averaging about 11-12 a day, and that's bothering me. i think my tics are acting up, and i smoke to counteract the panic and anxiety that i have over them. hm. anyways, wednesday is my psych appointment, and maybe i'll have to adjust my meds.
so stanford's run in the postseason is over. they lost in the first round of the NIT last friday. but i still have stanford basketball to watch! the women are playing tonight against florida state in the 2nd round of ncaa tourney. go cardinal!
so some big news yesterday was that this female player (candace parker from tennessee) dunked twice during a game. is it that hard for a tall girl to dunk? candace was 6'4", and i figure that anybody that height or taller should easily be able to drunk the ball. so how come it doesn't happen that often? apparently, there have only been four women who've ever dunked in an official women's basketball game.
birthday presents are harder and harder to buy for my friends. i mean, around the age of 30 or so, most of us have enough money to buy what we want. and the older age also means that we've accumulated more cool stuff. so what to get someone who already has everything? it's a toughie.
i think that i am going to institute a "no gift giving" for my own birthday. i mean, i know that i'm a hard person to shop for. one, i don't have any hobbies or interests anymore, and two, whatever i want, i have already gotten for myself. i think i'll be happy with just having a nice dinner with my friends and them paying for me. that's good enough.
ok, i've got some debugging to do. take it easy!
so let's see here... friday night, i met up with alan and ting at sneha, or what formerly used to be sneha. i think the name is now "grand indian buffet," but the food is the same, except they now have this noodle dish that i didn't try.
saturday, nelson and i went to the original pancake house (de anza and 85) for some breakfast food. i've decided that their omelettes aren't good, so i just got scrambled eggs, two sausage patties, and three pancakes, all for $10 with tax and tip included. now bad, although stacks has way better food.
afterwards, we headed over to paul and leeya's place to hang out. their pug puppy, spike, has grown a lot since i last saw him. he's a menace, man. he kept on attacking my shoes, and i think he tore a bit of the lining out. part of my shoes were stained with his saliva.
after about an hour, nelson, mikeC and i went to shoreline to catch _v for vendetta_. i thought the movie was crap, and i found myself looking at my watch and hoping the movie would end. i love natalie portman, but there was nothing compelling about the movie. it was just a bore.
then, i drove to alan and ting's place and got ready for dinner at red robin. it was 3 couples and me, but i didn't mind. i really wanted to drink, so i got a johnnie walker black label on the rocks. but man, ordering alcohol really pushes up your bill. my little dinky whiskey cost mf $6!
after dinner, we went back to alan's place to play with their border terrier puppy, rylie. she was really hyper and stuff, and she bit me and left a tooth mark on my hand. i left around 10pm, and went home to catch the results of the ncaa tournament games. go ucla!
sunday, i got up around noon, picked up my drugs (haldol), and headed over to downtown palo alto. i met up with dj for lunch at what used to be marigold, the indian restaurant. it's now another indian food place, but less fancy. however, thier bhinda masala (okra) was THE BOMB. so fucking good, and it reminded me of how much i love okra. i also ordered this lamb vindaloo, which was supremely spicy. the only downside of the lunch was that i spilled some vindaloo sauce on my wonderful baby blue puma jacket.
afterwards, i went home, took a 3 hour nap, and then went with nelson to this brewery/restaurant in downtown sunnyvale. it was called fire-something. the food was pretty pricey; i got a mushroom carbonara for $13.99, and a pint of their pale ale for $4. man, i'm spending a lot of money on food and alcohol these days.
anyways, so that was my weekend. it was pretty hectic on saturday, but relaxing on sunday. and that's a good way to go. :)
