man, we went to dim sum today, and i had just one leek dumpling, and i'm burping it up as i type this. leeks are powerful! i love them. it was hella greasy, though; one bite, and i had to drink a whole mouthful of water to wash it down.
so a couple people from the bowling gang are going on this week-long camping road trip starting tomorrow. i hope they have fun and come back safely. and that also means that there will be less people that i know at mikeT's bowl-a-rama birthday party tomorrow. i'm sort of nervous about the event, because there aren't many people that i know who will be there. i don't think i can bowl, because my lower back is killing me. i guess i'll just hang out and try to mingle.
so my sandisk stock is going nicely. i bought in at $37, and it's around $43-44 today. the question is when to sell (isn't that always the question?). i'm hoping for $50-$60, but of course, i'm a greedy bastard, so i might even wait for it to go higher. when i have time, i'll just go look at its historical chart and see where the highs have been, and make a judgment call. go sandisk!
i don't have anything planned for the weekend. nelson, my main saturday lunch buddy, is one of the people who's going on the road trip, so i think i'm going to miss him. and alan's saturday is all booked because it's going geocaching with his search and rescue team. i might just stay in saturday afternoon and see if there's any good elite eight tournament games to watch. i'll definitely try to catch the ucla game at 4pm.
so during the massage yesterday, i told the lady to work on my lower back. man, it really hurt when she rubbed that area. i'm not sure what i'm supposed to do. she gave me some medicated patches to put on my back, but that just alleviates the pain, right? i wonder what the hell happened. am i just getting old? i don't recall doing anything that would be strenuous on the back. hm. now i think i really should make an appointment to see my chiropractor.
last night, i had a dream about my first academic decathlon team (i did it both years in high school). it was a really nostalgic dream, and when i woke up, i got really sad that it ended. i fell in love for the first time with one of the members on my team, a girl named amie (pronounced AH-mee). she was the only blonde girl that i ever liked. we never went out or anything (she was a flirt, though), but she was the first girl that ever held my hand and kissed me on the cheek. ah, the emotions!
i also had a recurring college dream where classes had started, and i forgot to pick up a schedule, so i didn't know where my classes were. i can't count the number of times where i've had that stressful dream. this time, i was roommates with jeremy, and mcdonald's provided breakfast for us. so i gave jeremy a bacon and egg biscuit and a half-eaten hash brown. funny, dreams are.
ok, well, that's that. it's 5pm, and i wanna get out of here. have a great weekend, folks!
