i played basketball for over an hour today (from 1:40 to 2:00). we had some good 5-on-5 action today, although the only basket i scored was an undefended layup. had i missed that, i would have gotten a lot of shit from my teammates. what was weird was that i was huffing and puffing in the beginning, but by the third game, things got a lot easier. not breezy, mind you, but i wasn't struggling to breathe anymore.
i have a headache today. i think i may be dehydrated, although i've been drinking lots of fluids. my head feels like it's in a vise. i took some tylenol, but it hasn't totally kicked in yet.
i'm nervous today. stanford's playing an improving arizona state team, and we need this win really badly. should we lose tonight, we'll have a must-win against a tough arizona squad on saturday to make it into the tourney. come on cardinal! don't let me down! the game isn't televised tonight, so i'll have to drag my naked ass down at past 9:00 or so to check the results online.
oh, to the commenter, i don't make $150K a year. not even close. fyi.
i bought some sandisk stock today. it's near its 52-week low, so i just got 100 shares of it. i hope it's a good investment. i asked my friend ben (who works there) if it's a good buy, and he didn't know. we'll see if it's a good decision. i have a lot of cash sitting around, and i should be more proactive in investing it. but instead, i've stuffed half of it in an ING orange account, and the rest is in a checking account, earning zero interest. yeah, it's bad.
earlier today, i picked my nose so hard i got a bloody nose. what's weird is that i don't have long or sharp fingernails. but anyways, i was going at it, and i pulled out my finger, and there was blood everywhere. weird. it didn't hurt or anything, but i was definitely surprised.
you know what movie i really want to see? TMNT. yup. teenage mutant ninja turtles. yeah, i'm a kid. my favorite is michelangelo. "i crave pizza... ONCE AGAIN!" i used to watch the cartoons, and i had the toys. my (younger) brother was even crazier about them. he must have had two dozen TMNT action figures, although he lost all the weapons and accessories. but anyways, i'm sort of embarrassed to say i want to see the movie, and i doubt that anybody would want to see the movie with me when it comes out later this month.
alan's funny. usually, i'm the one who has to call him up to do something, but he just e-mailed me to do something tomorrow night. why? of course, it's because ting's going out of town. ha! i guess when you have a girlfriend (or in his case, a fiance), you have a default partner to do something with. and when that person is gone, that's when you branch out and look for others to hang out with. i guess i'm fine with that, but i definitely miss seeing him more.
i'm getting sick of vanilla/almond special k cereal. i've gone though four boxes of them in the past months, and i'm now looking for another cereal. anybody got suggestions? i want something reasonably healthy, but tasty as well. previously, i've had red berries special k, honey nut cheerios, and crispix.
i had a scary dream last night. i involved guns. guns freak me out. i went to a shooting range with william a few years ago, and i decided that was my first and LAST time. (we shot a beretta 94F.) it was just too much power. it's like holding life and death in your hands. by the way, i was a pretty accurate shooter, though. but yeah, in the dream, my friends and i all had guns, and there was a confrontation, and we busted out our guns and pointed them at each other. i got shot, and in the dream, it felt like a big electric shock. pretty fucking scary.
ok. it's time for that 5pm smoke. cheer up! tomorrow's friday!
