nami nami

so for lunch, J and i went to nami nami on castro. it was my suggestion, since i had never gone there before. i got the tonkatsu, and it was pretty good. even though it was a deep-fried pork cutlet, it wasn't too greasy. i'm curious to go there for dinner, where the menu changes into small plates of stuff.

we got our bonuses today. i was pretty disappointed. word is that the company is being pretty stingy, and my bonus was just over half of what i got the last time. i guess i shouldn't complain about free money, but still...

so antonella barba got booted off AI last night. that wasn't surprising. but sabrina sloan? that was a shocker, considering that haley didn't sing well. and the show said goodbye to sundance head, which was also sort of a surprise. man, sanjaya must have a guardian angel up on high to have made it this far.

but the big news of the day was stanford's overtime loss to USC. espn now has us out of the tournament, and i am *extremely* worried about the team. i'm actually jittery and stuff. it's going to be a nervous two days before selection sunday, and i'm hoping for all the right teams to lose and all the right teams to win to give us the best shot for making the ncaa's. if only anthony goods had made at least one of those two free throws near the end of regulation. but i gotta hand it to usc's nick young, who made that clutch basket to tie it. that was definitely a tough shot.

remember the war dream i talked about the other day? i just remembered a small detail about it. i was in a faction, like a team or something. and team was called "jewish burger." weird, huh? and this morning, i had a dream that i was in a car that adam was driving. and in the backseat were two girls, one of whom i've only met once. and what was odd was that her left ear was falling off. yup. oh, and by the way, today is adam's birthday. so happy bday, adam!

i'm going to adam's birthday dinner tonight. it's at korea house. i'm kind of nervous, because eric is going to be there. i haven't talked to him in years, and even though we used to be better friends, we're sort of grown apart. he's even delisted me on his links. so i hope things won't be weird between us. *crossed fingers*

i really want to see _300_ this weekend. i've heard that it's superviolent, so i'm sort of concerned. i used to love violent movies when i was younger, but i've become really squeamish. i think it all happened when i saw _saving private ryan_. that movie's realistic and gory violence totally traumatized me. so now i'm a total wuss. actually, gun violence is still ok with me, but it's harder for me to stomach knives, decapitations, guts spilling out, and that kind of stuff.

so we finally got dr pepper in the office. when i first sent out the request, the guy wrote back, "how would you respond?", which i didn't understand. was he being rude? so i wrote back, and told him that if it was too much trouble, then forget about it. but then, a few days later, i notice that costco had delivered all these drinks, and one of them was dr pepper! so i was happy. i need to thank the guy the next time i see him.

ok. i know this is an early post time, but i want to leave work early. it's friday! be happy! have a good weekend folks!
