man, it's been a heavy day of test translating. i'm taking friday off, so i have one less day to do my assignments. my boss told me today that i have all these things to do before i leave, and it's sort of stressing me out. luckily, i was able to finish my "to do" task today, so i'm happy about that. things weren't working for awhile, but it was all due to typos on my part. silly...
so about that cigarette butt thing. i usually keep a trash bag in my car, but i had thrown it away friday night in the dumpster at paul's place. i forgot to bring another bag with me, and had i had one, i would have thrown the butt away in there. yeah, i'm sort of a delinquent. i got scolded by ting about the issue before, and ever since then, i throw my butts away in the trash or an ashtray whenever there is one available.
i wonder what happened to my penpals. i had two of them back during the summer of 1992. that was back when i read newsgroups, and i found two penpals on rec.soc.penpals or something like that. one was named nana, and the other deborah. both happened to be half-asian teenage girls, go figure. we wrote each other during the summer, but once i got to college, i stopped corresponding, no doubt because of my business and obsession with k1. i'd love to know what those two are up to today. i never got to see a picture of those two, but given that they were both hapa, i bet they were cute.
i'm nervous for my stanford men's team. they're on the bubble right now, and they have been struggling the past two games. they were close in the first half of those games, but just died after halftime. they had so many turnovers in yesterday's game, and they couldn't get any rebounds, either. man. right now, espn's bracketology has them as a falling 9th seed. yikes!
i haven't taken a dump today. i think after i write this entry, i'm going to have a smoke and then force a shit out. i'm curious to see if my LA trip firms up my logs. saturday, we're having prime rib for lunch after geoff's wedding ceremony, and then, we're planning on hitting fogo de chao (brazilian bbq) for dinner. that's a lot of meat, and i'm hoping it solidifies my shit, if only for one sitting on the toilet.
ok, well, that's that for the day. time for that smoke and dump!
friday night, we had dinner at pho kim long on capitol and montague. their #24 is very delish: tasty stir-fried noodles, beef, and veggies. all for $6! afterwards, we went back to paul's place to play some nintendo wii. i bowled a 179! we also played some boxing (nelson got quite a workout), tennis and golf. it's a pretty cool system.
saturday, i watched a ton of sports. the stanford/washington women's game, the arizona/oregon game, the texas tech/oklahoma state game, and the pro bowl. i tried to soak in the pro bowl, as this was the last taste of football i would get this season, but i just couldn't get into it.
i had dinner with nelson at chili's (we both suggested it at the same time), and i was looking forward to their southwestern eggrolls. i wasn't very hungry, as i had taco bell at 3pm. but they ran out of them, so i just got the boneless buffalo wings. that was a mistake. i got sick of them halfway through, but i powered on, and i finished them, to my distaste.
sunday, i had dim sum at dynasty. when i left, i had a smoke, and as i flicked my cigarette butt on the ground, a police sheriff caught me, and he yelled at me to pick it up. i was in shock, and then i almost cried. i apologized, picked it up, and when he drove off (after staring at me for a while), i threw it back on the ground. i was lucky he didn't give me a ticket.
then, it was off to cindy's house to watch the horrible stanford/washington game. we played really badly. and to top it all off, anthony goods sprained his ankle. i hope it's just a mild injury, and not something worse. anyways, it was a bad loss, and now we gotta win some big games to make it to the tournament. ick.
for dinner, paul and i went to in 'n out for a quick dinner. i had already had two slices of pizza at cindy's, so i wanted something small, fast and cheap. and that was it to my weekend.
