hey folks. how are you people doing? i have a pube growing an inch below my bellybutton. is that odd to you?
i had a dream about G the other night. she was sort of my rebound after k1, the summer after my sophomore year. i liked her earlier, though, back when we were in chinese camp years before. ah, summer flings. we watched a lot of movies, hung out a bunch, and all that time spent together meant that we just wound up getting together.
oh well. she's happily married now, with two kids (i think), and get this: she's married to another guy named "dardy." what's the odds of that happening? my theory is that she really wanted me, but had to settle for another guy with my name. ha!
the reason why i broke things off was that we went to colleges on opposite ends of the states: me in california, and she in boston. and i was going to spend the next summer in japan, so there was just no way we could handle the long distance after only two real weeks of being together. sigh. has long distance ever worked? i only know of one that has (waves to dishi).
sleep has been amazingly good these past couple of nights. i've opened all the windows in my room, so by the time i go to bed, it's a little chilly. and i get to snuggle underneath my layers of blankets, hugging my cool pillow. it's all very good stuff.
i'm a little jittery today. my mavericks are playing the spurs in san antonio for the right to go to the western conference finals. (we're talking about basketball here, for you non-sports fans.) the mavs were up 3-1 in the best of 7 series, and i'd hate to see them blow that lead, which usually proves to be insurmountable.
i've been dreading eating meals lately because of my tics. usually, i can only force in a small bite before unleashing a storm of tics. either that, or i have to sit back in my chair and put both my hands on my head or my neck. it's tough. last night, i had some seaweed in my mouth, and i ticced and launched a piece of the stuff onto alan's face. i was very embarrassed.
my hands are cold. what causes bad circulation? last thursday, i went to get a massage, and the woman had cold hands as well. it didn't feel very good, but luckily her hands warmed up after all the friction and contact with my body.
i need a movie buddy. i haven't seen MI3 or da vinci code yet. alan and ting often see movies without telling me (so i can't tag along), and i'm beginning to lose touch with all the stuff that's out there. i used to watch movies like once every week, but now, it's more like once a month. i am really looking forward to xmen, though. famke janssen is hot!
ok. i just got an IM request. gonna go chat a bit before i go home. bye!
didn't do a whole lot this weekend. i did manage to see alan all three days of the weekend. friday night, i had burritos with him at la bamba (i got the quesadilla). ting doesn't like mexican food, so i think alan likes to get it when she's not there.
saturday, i watched the preakness stakes after getting out of bed at 1:40pm. poor barbaro. i was rooting for him to win (we haven't had a triple crown winner in forever), but he broke his ankle in two places. they called the injury life-threatening, so i was really worried. i'm not really big into horse races, but the triple crown events really fascinate me. all the buildup and hoopla for something that lasts like 2 minutes!
for dinner, i met with alan and ting at grand indian buffet (sneha). i was starving since i didn't eat lunch, so i had 1.5 plates of food, plus dessert. alan and ting always eat to the point where they're sick, and then they curse the fact that they chose to eat an indian buffet. i find that funny.
sunday, i got out of bed at 1, and watched the cavaliers lose game 7 to the pistons. i was rooting for lebron, but i think he needs some better players on his team so he doesn't have to do it all.
we headed off to jack and amy's place to see their newborn (well, like 1.5 month-old) baby daughter, amanda. it's amazing that they're just a little older than i am, and they already have two kids. wow. i have no idea when i'll ever have kids.
after about an hour visit, we headed off to oedo japanese restaurant for alan's birthday dinner. i thought the sushi i got was pretty mediocre (they put in too much cucumber), but everyone else seemed to enjoy their meal.
the bummer of the weekend was that it rained. however, i'm not sure it would have made a different in what i would have done, though. i spent most of my non-eating time lying on the couch. yeah, i'm a couch potato, but the way i see it is that i have to be one because i tic too much while i'm upright. sigh. tourette's really sucks.
