this will be a quick post before i go home. i actually buckled down and did some work today for a change. but, i'm stuck with all these errors during my compile, and i just don't feel like tackling them yet. i'll do it tomorrow. yeah, i'm the king of procrastination.
my dump was unusually dense today. and wide, too, as it *almost* hurt when it came out. i think it was the steak i ate on friday night; i didn't take a dump all weekend, so i bet everything got packed really well.
i discovered a great breakfast item at jack in the box: their sausage breakfast jack. you get a sausage patty (i love sausage patties), an egg, and cheese sandwiched between two nicely hot plain buns. all for $1.29. i had them on both saturday and sunday. yummers.
monday night football is going on right now. i'm sort of upset about it, because they're doing a doubleheader, and the second game doesn't finish until about 10:30. that means i get my sportscenter late. it's ok, though, because this won't happen in future weeks.
my cowboys lost to the jaguars yesterday. i am bummed. i knew all this hype would be bad for the team.
we have a new girl in our team now. she previously worked in the toronto division, but she's out here for a year stint in the US. i feel bad for people who relocate. it must be hard to find friends outside of work, people to eat lunch with, etc. etc. maybe i'll take her out someday and show her the sites.
weekdays are hard to handle because i get 3 hours less sleep than on the weekend. but the good thing is, since i'm more tired at night, it's easier to fall asleep. we'll see how tonight goes; ever since i've gotten back from taiwan, i've had a tough time falling asleep. in the past, i'd conk out in the middle of the 11pm sportscenter, but lately, i've been wide awake even after it finishes. nuts.
ok, i'm out.
so friday night, we went to alexander's steakhouse for nelson's birthday dinner. as they claim, they're the only place in the bay area that sells true kobe beef. i was tempted to splurge and try it, but it was waaaaay too expensive: a 6oz ribeye cut was something like $225!!! so i just got a 2lb bone-in ribeye. it was good at first, but it was just too much meat for me. and no, i did not ask for A-1. in the end, the bill was a shocking $85 a person. it left me with a dollar bill in my wallet.
saturday, i got out of bed and just watched college football. we had a secondary nelson's bday get together at his house around 7. some of the guys brought over pizza, and i brought some alcohol (tequila and jameson). i had a jameson with john, and two shots of tequila with nelson. he got a new fire pit, so we let that sucker up and just gathered around it in his backyard. i left around 10.
sunday, i watched most of the SF/arizona game. then i joined alan at the dog park at las palmas park and watched the dozen or so dogs romp around. having a dog is a definite way to socialize with other people. too bad there weren't any hot girls there, or else i would consider getting a dog. :)
after i went home, i met up with alan (and ting) again to see _the protector_, tony jaa's latest import from quentin tarantino. the movie wasn't as good as _ong bak_. while some of the camerawork was pretty good, the actual fighting was repetitive, especially near the end when he was fighting dozens and dozens of people, breaking their bones in the same way. it just got old.
one thing, though. during the movie, i ticced so hard that my eyeglasses flew off my face. it took a few minutes (thank god my mini flashlight on my keychain still worked) for me to find it. sigh. tourette's sucks.
so that was my weekend. it was too short, and i am very upset about having to work for the next five days.
