hey folks. nothing much has happened today. i had a long meeting that lasted past lunch, so i didn't get to eat with anybody. the two guys i usually eat with went to banana leaf, too, and i wanted to try that place out again. :( and then, i had a meeting that just got out until now. sigh. i hate meetings, especially ones like today where i couldn't contribute a single thing.
i feel behind the times. i don't have tivo, and i don't download shows from the internet, so i'm still relying on my decade-old VCR to tape shows for me. i'm excited about the new television season, though. i'm most excited about _scrubs_. and _how i met your mother_. but i don't know what new shows are good. anybody got some tips?
so i'm getting off depakote (one of my meds for tourette's). that shit fucks up your liver, and since it wasn't doing anything for my tics, i told my psych today that i wanted to quit the drug. my mom did some research, so we're planning on putting me on some natural nutritional supplements. this stuff is rumored to "cure" all sorts of ailments, so i'm willing to give it a try, although i'm not getting my expectations up or anything.
i just took a dump where i strained myself so much that i almost puked out my lunch. man, that was a major squeezer.
i think i've recovered from my jet lag. it's about fucking time. i was getting sick of the insomnia and total grogginess in the morning. today, it was still hard getting out of bed (around 9:40am), but at least i was able to do it.
remember a few years back when i really wanted to play taiko as a career? i am way over that now. i think what i missed about being in stanford taiko wasn't the actual playing, although i do miss performing. but what i missed the most were the people, the camaraderie. i bring this up because i have an opportunity to play with some of the people who used to be in the group, and it's even close by where i live. but i just don't feel the urge or the desire, and i'm wondering why. i think laziness has something to do with it, but there may be more to that.
ok, that's it from me today. take it easy.
