hey people. i've been workin', debugging some failing and hanging tests. it seems like we tried some fancy stuff with our tests, and it just messed shit up. oh well. we're in a frantic mode trying to freeze our code and getting all the tests to pass, so we're just doing hacks right now, getting everything to work, even though it's not very pretty.
so sasha baron cohen (borat) won a golden globe last night for best actor in a comedy/musical. i knew his borat accent was fake, but still, i expected him to be in character or something, so i was sort of shocked to hear him speak in a british accent, and to see him without his poofy hair and big mustache. his speech was funny, but i think he spent too long talking about the testicles and anus of his friend in that naked scene.
i also watched part of the australian open. it was reportedly 102 degrees out, and around 120 degrees on the court. the sharapova/pin match was pretty good. sharapova was up 5-0 in the third set, but started choking pretty bad. she let pin back in the set, but won in the end 9-7. i like sharapova. she's kinda hot, and way better than kournikova. like i said, i don't know what the fuss is about anna. she's not pretty, and she sucks at tennis. *pukes*
there was a point in the match where the umpire called a let because pin's second ball fell out of her skirt, and sharapova walked up to the umpire and said, "are you fucking kidding me?" haha. the microphones caught her cursing! the announces apologized for it, but i thought it was pretty cool. you don't hear cursewords on tv enough.
so _american idol_ starts tonight. i think i'm going to commit to it and watch. i get pretty addicted and obsessive about the show. i memorize the list of all the people who get voted off, and it's kind of annoying, i know, but i force myself to do it. sigh. ocd sucks sometimes. i hope there are some memorable people this year, like john stevens and taylor hicks. and some hotties, too, like katharine mcphee. too bad she was bulimic, though. that makes me sad.
i got a call from an old coworker who wanted me to join his company. i had to say, i was kind of tempted, but in the end, i said no. i'm just too comfortable here. read: lazy. i mean, i don't want to go through the interview process all over again, and yes, my job here is pretty good. i don't work too hard, and i get paid decently, and my hours are easy. this friend's company is a startup, too, and i know how hard startups can be. believe me, i've worked at three of them.
my last piss kind of burned. actually, it hurt. i hope i'm not getting kidney stones. i could definitely feel the liquid coming out of my schlong, and i kept on expecting a little rock or something to come out. i need to remind myself to keep hydrated. at work, i drink a decent amount of liquids: three vitasoy's, one or two coke's, and one bottle of gatorade, plus water at lunch. it's the weekends when i need to drink more stuff.
i gotta remember to try on my two suits this weekend, in case i need to get them altered. one of my suits was from college, when i was super-thin, and the other one was bought when i was fat. right now, i'm in the middle, so i'm not sure which one i'll wear to geoff's wedding next month. hm.
ok. that's it for today. time to brave the cold and have a smoke.
