hey people. i have a headache. my tics now include some smashing of my chin into my right shoulder, and the jarring is making my head hurt. man, i hope i don't give myself a concussion. :(
i really needed the long weekend. i can tell that it helped me relax a bit, as my tics yesterday weren't as bad as they were last week. but still, they're painful. sigh. tourette's blows.
so i'm kind of bummed about this summer. some of my friends are leaving the bay area. jay and margaret are packing up to move to alabama for a year, and who knows if they'll ever return here. (jay's doing a one-year stint for a facial plastics doctor.) and also, jan is also packing up to move to seattle where she and her husband will both be professors. i hate goodbye's.
i e-mailed k3 last night to wish her a happy belated birthday, and she wrote back. i was happy to see a short response today. it's been years since i've been in contact with her, mostly due to my fault by mentioning some private things about her in my old geocities journal. i am forever ashamed of committing such a mistake, and i hope that we can be friends now. she just turned 30, and she mentioned some big changes in her life. i wonder if that includes finding a man, which would make me very jealous. i still have feelings for her, i'm pretty sure.
i got my first ride in a pickup truck today. C's infiniti G35 is in the shop down in LA, so he drove up over the weekend in his old truck. i've never been in a truck before, so i didn't know what to expect. the ride was pretty smooth, and there was plenty of legroom. i don't know why i thought trucks were cramped, but this one wasn't.
can a lactating woman produce infinite amounts of breast milk, sort of like how we can keep producing saliva? it would suck if a woman could run out, because then, what would be baby eat?
you know what i miss? long conversations. i haven't had one in a very long time. sure, i get together with friends over meals and such, but the conversations there are never that deep. it's more social banter. i miss just talking to someone about anything and everything. every weekend, i call up some of my out-of-town friends, but most of them never answer. *sobs*
i had a very bad bout of insomnia last night. i got in bed around 9:30 or so, and i finally fell asleep about three hours later. when it hit midnight (when both sportscenters were done), i finally got up in a huff and went outside for a smoke. (ting was telling me that staying in bed was the worst thing to do.) and after that, i had calmed down enough to let sleep take over. man, i hope this doesn't keep happening to me.
so. suns. mavs. game 4. tonight. *cheer* go mavs! if they win tonight, they'll be up 3-1 and in control of the series. i am worried about them if they make the finals, though, because it looks like they'll be facing the heat. i don't think the mavs have an answer for shaq. (then again, who does?)
ok. that's it for today. it's almost time to go home. bye!
this is just for me; you know my obsessive nature in keeping track of lists.

hey people. sorry i was MIA on thursday and friday. i was totally swamped at work and stressing out.
thursday night, peter was in town, so four of us hit up hunan chili (on castro) for dinner. the food there in the past was good, but this time, we made the mistake of ordering three dishes, all of which were breaded and deep-fried. we felt sick afterwards.
friday night, we went to maruichi for some ramen. they have a noodle-making machine in the front, and you can see the process they perform to turn a big spool of tough into ramen noodles. pretty neat.
saturday, i had dim sum at dynasty with some other friends. it was cheap (<$15), but then again, we didn't order that much food. afterwards, we hit up ten ren, and then three of us went to mercado to watch the latest x-men movie. it was ok, i guess. i've always loved the x-men stuff, so i guess i have a positive bias. but still, the movie wasn't as good as the first two. afterwards, i just went home and watched the heat/pistons game.
sunday, i headed over to alan and ting's house for a bbq. jay and margaret were also in attendance. i had a double burger (with double cheese, too!), and i was immediately full. i tried to tackle a hot dog on top of that, and i wound up tossing part of the rather large bun. we went to a nearby park after that, and the dog owners let their puppies run wild. puppies are cute.
monday, i went over to nelson's for another bbq. i spent most of my time watching the miami/pistons game. man, miami is up 3-1! i'm sort of rooting for detroit to win now, because i don't think my mavericks can deal with shaq or wade. oh well. but anyways, there was ample amounts of food, and it was pretty tasty.
that's about it. i pretty much did only one thing each day, and spent the rest of the time resting and watching basketball. i could feel my stress level decreasing, but then again, i'm at work again today. if only i could have had my 4-day weekend.
