hey folks. it's supposed to rain in the bay area for the next week or so. ick. i always remember february as a rainy month, so i guess it's no surprise. oh well. at least i'm not in school, and i don't have to bike around and get that nasty wet dirt trail up my ass; we used to call that "bike butt."
so tonight's the last episode of _american idol_ before the hollywood week. i was never a fan of hollywood week; i always found the group auditions and stuff to be kind of boring. and the contestants always seem tired and stressed out, and that's no fun to watch. one of the guys who made it to hollywood this year was there last year too, and he apparently bowed out of the competition because he was so stressed, poor guy. so far, though, there haven't been that many people that i liked. no taylor hicks, no john stevens. hopefully i'll find someone to root for, otherwise it'll be a boring season.
i have uneven wear on my knuckles. it's weird. the knuckles on my right hand have much thicker skin, and they're darker, too. i can't explain it. why is that? it's not like they come in contact more with other things, i mean, how often do our knuckles touch objects? *ponder*
i don't think i have a dandruff problem, but every time i wash my hair, the next day, i have all this dust in my head. it's really odd. if i run my fingers through my hair, all this stuff comes out. what gives? i thought washing your hair was supposed to get *rid* of the junk on your scalp.
i'm excited for next weekend. i'm taking friday off and heading to LA for geoff's wedding. plus, i'm coming back on sunday, and i get monday off for president's day. whee! four-day weekend, plus a four-day workweek! i love holidays.
i just had a smoke downstairs, and my boss was there, too. he's cool. he's a little bit of a stresscase, and he knows that i do good work when i set my mind to it. it told me that he only expects me to do about 4-5 hours of work a day (which is a stretch for me anyways), and that's good enough. hehe.
a few weeks ago, i saw a car with the license plate "CHP DZNR." i was a bit puzzled at first, but then i got it. chip designer! haha! only in silicon valley would somebody be proud enough to get those vanity plates. :)
anyways, i've hit major writer's block, so i'm going to cut this short. have a good hump day!
