hey people. i'm sleepy. since my boss yelled at me last week, i came in an hour early today. that's one hour of less sleep, so i was so groggy when i got into the office.
jay got reservations for gary danko on thursday. should i go? i hear people rave about it, but i wonder if it's just like any posh place: little food, big price tag. what's good there? and what's the dress code? i wore a suit when i took k4 out to masa's a few years ago.
i took xanax last night to fall asleep. i felt small panics when i was in bed, so i didn't want it to become a full-blown panic attack. basically, i could tell something was wrong because lying completely still made me feel incredibly restless. sigh. it's amazing how dependent on drugs i've become. currently, i'm on five medications (including the xanax which i rarely take). it depresses me. i mean, what are the long term effects of being on all these pills? it can't be good for me.
i am thinking about shelling out $300+ and buying myself a portable air conditioning unit. these past nights have been unbearable, upstairs in my bedroom. it's taking me about two hours to fall asleep, and i know the heat has something to do with it. blech.
so the coworker i had lunch with (J) told me that he drove 600 miles this weekend, just around the bay area. that's crazy! he drove to the city three times, down to monterey, and to oakland, all for different social events. man, i get annoyed when i have to drive *40* miles in one day. i guess some people like driving more than others, huh?
ok. smoking break!
didn't do a whole lot this weekend. friday night, i just stayed home and went to bed early.
saturday, i had some nice naked time while watching the world cup and sportscenter. later in the afternoon, alan, ting, jay and i went to los gatos for a stroll around downtown. they brought their dogs, which drew a lot of attention. we stopped by a banana republic, which is a place i haven't been to in a long long time; i didn't find anything i like, and perhaps it's because i'm not that interested shopping for clothes anymore.
for dinner, we headed to the sunnyvale shalimar, this highly touted indian food chain. i thought the food wasn't very good, and it was really greasy stuff. still, at 10pm, the place was still hopping with a bunch of indian folk, so who knows, maybe this is authentic indian food.
sunday, nelson and i had brunch at the original pancake house, and i went home and did the same drill: naked time to sports. man, naked time is nice, especially given the hot temperatures. clothes just make me feel all itchy and hot and stuff.
dinner was again with alan, ting and jay. we went to mahalo, this hawaiian bbq place (el camino and bernardo). we chatted for a bit, and then it was back home for me. all in all, a relaxing weekend, although i wish i did a bit more.
