hey people. man, this afternoon was occupied by a debugging effort like i've never experienced. i had to debug this arithmetic block in my design, and boy howdy! it was pretty brutal.
my coworker W just showed me a magic trick. i'm mesmerized by magic. i always want to ask how people do their tricks, but of course, they never tell me, so i'm left there sitting in wonderment. i loved that show several years ago where this magician broke the silence on many age-old tricks and revealed how they were done.
i wasn't going to eat all of yesterday, but on the drive home from work, i broke down and got a subway sandwich. i got their chicken parmigiana, and even though the chicken is pre-made, it was still good. i guess i'm a sucker for marinara sauce... use it as a dip, and anything (practically) tastes good.
so i saw my psych today. he didn't suggest anything besides increasing my daily depakote dosage by another 250mg. i have doubts that this will do anything. if depakote is a sedative, but i guess it'll just make me sleepier. dammit! i want relief from my tics!
ok, i guess i was misunderstood yesterday. i wasn't saying that all women age faster. just some of my female friends. i still have female friends that look like 25 or so, so i didn't want to make a blanket generalization. and yes, i've aged too. i've got a belly, and i have a lot of white hairs. sigh.
i really liked katharine mcphee's rendition of "somewhere over the rainbow" last night. it was tender, and it showed off her voice beautifully. i am hoping for a taylor/kat showdown in the finals. but to tell you the truth, i probably wouldn't by an album by either one of them. i promised two seasons ago that i'd buy an album by john stevens, and he has one out, but i haven't gotten it yet. *shrug*
i'm surprised that in all 5 season of american idiol, none of the finals has dropped out due to some illness that's affected their voice. i mean, what if you have a sore throat or something? bronchitis? hm.
go mavs! game 5 is tonight.
since i didn't take a dump yesterday, i took a pretty big one today. afterwards, i didn't feel satisfied, so i just kept on pushing. a smaller turd came out, and then a tiny pea-sized one. it's amazing how much pushing was required for that last piece. i might have popped a vein!
have you ever found anything in your dump? like a recognizable object? alan and ting examine their puppy rylie's turds, and they sometimes find stuff in there! one time, i think alan said he found a piece of carpet in the turd. interesting. i guess a puppy's GI tract is short enough that some things don't get totally broken down before they're excreted.
during winter, i usually watch tv under the covers in my bedroom. lately, it's been so hot in there that i am actually above the covers. so i'm just hanging out naked, watching tv. it feels good. there's just something that's inherently good about being naked out there. great stuff!
ok. headed down for a smoking break. have fun people!
