so this morning, i was in the middle of a dream about owning a hamster and facing down one of my executive bosses back at GFN (my old company) when my cell phone rings. i saw it was my current boss, so i decided to let it go to voice mail. i checked it, and apparently there was a possible bug in my block. i tried to sleep some more, but the emergency nature of his voice mail made it impossible for me to calm down. so i got up a few minutes later and went to work.
when i arrived, he told me very sternly that i was arriving too late, and that i needed to get into the office by 10 or 10:30 every day. shit. he had told me that before, but i thought it was just during the crunch time of the project. now that the project is done, i thought i could slack off a bit. no such luck, i guess.
anyways, i'm sort of excited about the trip to taiwan. excited to see my parents, hang out with my two cousins. i'm not sure what we're going to do, but getting away from it all will be nice.
of course, the two flights there and back will be a pain in the ass. they're like 12-hour flights, so i am definitely not looking forward to those. maybe i'll take some xanax to knock me out. that problem with that, though, is that i arrive at night, so it'll be hard for me to sleep again through the night. jet lag is a bitch, i know.
oh! i got a surprise visit from a good friend last night. i was sitting on my couch, watching bad tv, when i get a call from J. he's like, "i'm in the area. can i stop by?" this dude lives in new hampshire, so imagine my surprise. it turns out he was interviewing at google, and only in town for two days. so i said of course, and he dropped by, and we chatted for an hour before he had to leave. man, it was good to see him. and the prospect of him potentially moving back to the bay area makes me giddy with excitement.
my tics have been pretty bad. and not just that, they're very violent. i think my parents are going to be in shock when they see me, and i'm worried about that. because that'll just make me try to hold them in, and that just doesn't work; it just makes them even more violent and frequent when it all comes out. sigh. tourette's fucking sucks.
has anyone tried zestra? they have ads during _sex and the city_, no doubt because of the large women viewers of the show. basically, the ad describes is a "topically applied arousal fluid." those are the exact words. so what is this? do you rub it on your clitoris or something to make sex feel better? i am SO curious about this stuff!
i've heard about tiger balm on a guy's penis once. this was when i was a teenager. i went in my parents' bathroom to look for some tiger balm, but all i could find was this "white lotus" cream. so i put it on my schlong, and man, it BURNED. i tried to get rid of the burn by taking a shower, but it wouldn't stop. that was miserable. interesting, but miserable.
