howdy folks. man, american idol last night was a shocker. i thought katharine mcphee would get booted off, not chris daughtry. chris is one of the favorites! i was hoping for elliott to go, though. i'm not a fan of his singing, and his fast vibrato is really annoying.
so mia posted an entry a few days ago about compatible sleepers. you know what's funny, i still sleep in bed as if i had a girlfriend. i sleep on my own side (on the right), and i don't invade the left side even if i'm tossing and turning in bed.
one thing about my sleep habits, though; i don't like the feel of my legs on top of each other, so i make this little fold in my blankets and put it between my legs. that might pose a problem if i had a girl in bed with me. *ponder*
i can't believe that i used to sleep with my gf's in college. back then, we had twin beds, and they were narrow! one time, i fell out of my bunk. it was about 5-6 feet up in the air, and i'm lucky i didn't break any bones. i just woke up on the ground and thought, "hm. where am i?" :)
i'm excited for the next X-men movie. i think that's my favorite comic book turned into a movie, not that i read any of the comic books. but my brother used to collect X-men cards, and i got to read little blurbs on the back about each of the characters. there are lots of characters! although, this time, there won't be lady deathstrike (played by kelly hu), so i'm sad. kelly hu is HOT!
one of my recently engaged friends is now unengaged. she broke the news today over IM, and i was a little shocked. then again, i never heard her say that she really loved the guy, so i guess this is all for the best. marriage is a serious thing! you gotta make you really want to be with the other person for the rest of your life. otherwise, it's a huge mistake.
i've never dated just for the sake of dating. that's why i am so picky about women; i'm not just looking for fun, and i'm looking for a life partner. sigh. i think that poses a problem for me because every i give up on a girl the moment i find something i don't like. and that's pretty unrealistic, isn't it? i mean, everyone has flaws, and nobody's perfect, so i should just chill out and go along for the ride. at least, that's the thinking.
i've been drinking a lot more soda recently. ever since they started stocking regular dr pepper, i've been having 2-3 cans of the stuff a day. back when they only had coke, i only had one soda a day, and i would drink more other stuff, like gatorade or soymilk. i wonder if all this sugar and caffeine is bad for me. i keep seeing ads on tv about adults developing type 2 diabetes. am i at risk here?
my coworker W is taking mandarin classes. this means that he has to get up earlier every weekday to drive to de anza college all the way from the east bay before going to work. i'm impressed with his determination. the drive towards self-betterment is something that i just don't have. thus the stagnant life.
i'm sort of looking forward to the end of all my tv shows. no more being shackled to the tv schedule. (and no, i'm not going to get tivo or anything. i don't watch enough tv to need that.)
anyways, it's time for my 5 o'clock cigarette break. see you all tomorrow.
