so for lunch, J, C and i went to pad thai, which used to be thai thai, near the st. john's on lawrence. i was excited, because they were raving about this crab pad thai dish. i was sorely disappointed. i thought it would be like the jun pad poo that i love, but instead, it was just a pad thai with crab meat. it was sweet-tasting, which to me is major ICK. i hate sweet dishes. i didn't even finish it.
my stomach has totally shrunk. this past saturday, i got the combo B at maruichi, which consists of a bowl of ramen, three potstickers, and three large california rolls. i couldn't eat that last california roll, but in the end, i stuffed it down anyways. i ended up puking it up in an alleyway on the way to the parking garage. i made sure that no one was around, and i just barfed it up. gross. i just can't eat like i used to.
i still feel a little under the weather. this cold is not going away. i still have the sniffles, and i'm coughing up phlegm. it's yellow/white phlegm, so i forget whether that means it's a virus or if it's bacteria. *ponder* but anyways, it's really annoying, and blowing my nose has become a tic; i don't need to do it, but i blow my nose anyways.
so tonight's the ncaa men's championship game. i'm rooting for ohio state to win. i don't want florida to repeat. it's amazing, though, because ohio state vs. florida was the same game as the football championship. it's pretty rare that two schools can be that good at football as well basketball. anyways, thus ends the college basketball season. one more sport down before there's nothing left but baseball. *pukes* after tonight, there will only be the NBA to watch before there's no more sports for me to follow. (no, i don't watch hockey.)
have you ever tried to force yourself to like somebody? i have done it before, and it never worked. in those cases, the deal breaker for me was bad faces. i just can't get over the hump if i don't find the girl's face to be attractive. i mean, if you're going to be looking at the girl's face the whole time, she better be nice to look at, right? hehe. you might ask why i was "forcing" myself to like a girl, and my answer is that i was sort of desperate at the time. yeah, those were some rough times of singlehood.
i have some cuts on my chin from ticcing. my current tic (one that i've had for quite some time now) is a violent head jerk to the right, and i must have been wearing a sweatshirt with a sharp zipper, so that it cut my chin during a tic. ouchie! yeah, tourette's sucks. although, i think the frequency of my tics has been getting slightly better. i think it's because my boss has been gone for the last two weeks, which has alleviated some stress. (btw, he's back today.)
eric pulled a good april's fools joke on his blog. haha! i totally fell for it. :)
has anyone ever filed an amendment to their taxes? i need to do one. after talking to A after lunch last week, i found out that i mistakenly declared $12K more income that i should have, which translates to like a couple thousand dollars more taxes that i paid. i want my money back, dammit! so to those of you who have done an amendment before, is it hard to do? for me, it was my ESPP sale; it was included as income on my W-2, but i accidentally declared it as extra income separately. dumb me, i forgot to check my W-2 thoroughly. *bonk*
ok, that's it for today. i feel like haven't really blogged for a while, since i was out most of last week.
man, i had a really unsatisfactory weekend. friday night, no one was around to do anything, so i just skipped dinner and went straight to bed.
saturday, i ate my 3 pieces of leftover pizza and went over to paul's place. his pug spike was really sick (infected eye), but i had no idea how serious it was until i saw him. his right eye was a cloudy blue, and he had to get eye drops every half hour. poor paul and leeya were up all night giving him his medicine and didn't get much sleep. i sort of forced myself upon them because i hadn't had any social contact for days (since i was sick at home for the past three days), so i just hung out for a bit before going home to watch the final four.
i had dinner with leeya, grace and mikeC at maruichi. afterwards, we hung out at tap-ex, and later on, nelson, cheng and john joined us after their week-long road trip ended. however, the conversation was sort of boring because grace and leeya talked about wedding planning for most of the time. i left around 10:30 or so, skyped my mom and dad, and then went to sleep.
sunday, i had lunch with nelson at chipotle. afterwards, i ran a quick errand to get some zippo lighter fluid, and then we headed over to paul's place to say hi. we wound up watching the end of the mavericks/suns game (my mavs got blown out in phoenix, sigh), and then watched various parts of movies on satellite. we wound up staying there until 5:30 or so.
after dropping off nelson, i just sulked around the house, looking for people to eat dinner with. nobody responded, so again, i just skipped dinner and went to bed.
i'm still a little bit sick, though. my nose is running, and i don't feel quite 100%. oh well. anyways, as you can tell, i didn't do a whole lot this weekend. on friday, i wrote that i was supposed to meet up with mallory (which i was really looking forward to), but she called me up sunday morning and had to cancel, and that was a real bummer. we've rescheduled for next weekend. but yeah, i wasn't too happy with this past weekend, and i hope the next one is better.
