well, as i've been told by two of my iranian coworkers, today is the persian new year's eve. so happy new year! fyi, the persian new year coincides with the vernal equinox, i.e the first day of spring. the spring weather has been great of late, although today, it rained.
i had a dream this morning that someone broke into my house. everything was in shambles, and i was greatly traumatized. i woke up feeling very stressed out; sigh, nothing like bad dreams to make for unrestful sleep.
so the stanford women suffered a shocking loss last night to florida state. they were up at halftime, but just played very tight. for example, they only made half their free throws, and were 0-9 from 3-point range in the first half. very sad. it was touching to see senior brooke smith crying at the end, as this was her last game in a cardinal uniform. :(
man, i am not looking forward to another two hours of AI tonight. this season's talent level is way down, and i read an article on MSNBC that ratings are dropping. even so, the article stated that they've extended AI through season 9 (they're on 6 right now). i miss last season, where taylor hicks was fun to watch, and katharine mcphee was nice to look at.
for the first time in a long while, i didn't have a liquidy dump today. i just had soft shit. not sure why.
last night, mikeT called me up for dinner, and we tried out this new mexican place, grullense (sp?), on castro street. it was ok. i got this huge carnitas quesadilla. it was so-so (not enough cheese), but mike said that his burrito was very good. i saw that they had wet burritos on the menu, so maybe i'll try that the next time i go there. i doubt it can be as good as los charros, though, but we'll see.
i really want to see _TMNT_. i'm sort of skeptical, though, not because it's animated, but because it's rated PG, and all the ads say it's a good "family film." i want to see a darker, more violent version of the turtles, with lots of good fighting action, and the movie's not going to deliver that.
i woke up today with a really painful/stiff neck. it hurt to turn it, which was a shame because i was gonna play basketball today. i must have slept on it funny or something. hopefully it gets better tomorrow, or else i'm going to ask my masseuse to work on it when i get a massage on thursday. ouchie!
okie dokie. that's it for today. have a good one folks!
