chocolate fountain

so to celebrate some milestones, we had a little party here at the company today. they had a chocolate fountain! when i saw the e-mail, i had no idea what that was. it turned out to be exactly what i thought it was: a flowing triple-decker waterfall of liquid chocolate. we had bananas, strawberries, bread and marshmallows that we dipped into the fountain. now, i normally don't like chocolate, but i had to try it out. it was very rich and sweet, so i only dipped two items (one marshmallow and one strawberry) before i called it quits. but among the chocolate lovers in the company, it was a very popular thing.

i'm not sleeping well these days. last night, i kept waking up every two hours. the reason why i know this is because i have this compulsion where every time i wake up, i roll over and check what time it is. not good. i don't know why i'm having trouble sleeping, maybe it's because i'm having bad dreams or something where i'm being jolted awake. hm.

so the women's college basketball championship was yesterday. i was rooting for the underdog scarlet knights (cool name) of rutgers, but tennessee pulled it off instead. i think candace parker is attractive. she has a nice face. but anyways, i'm not big on women's basketball (except when it comes to stanford, of course), but the significance of this is that college basketball is finally over, like i said, so now there's one less sport to watch.

so in pre-preseason rankings for next year, the stanford men are in the top 25 (#20 according to the mercury news, #25 according to espn). i'm a little skeptical, though, because we still have some problems at the point guard position. we do have some help because of a transfer player who had to sit out this past season, but until i see him play, i will remain worried about this issue. still, it's a long wait until the 2007-08 season, but i'm looking forward to it already. go cardinal!

so how do you guys sleep? do you have a preferred position? i can only sleep on my right side. it's weird. i think it's because once i asked my acupuncturist/masseuse which side was better, and she told me the right side, and ever since then, i can only sleep in that position. it just doesn't feel right otherwise. i think it's all psychological, though. i know a girl who once could sleep with her knees up, and i thought that was the weirdest thing.

so they showed _remember the titans_ on tbs the other night. i really like that movie. i saw in the theater years back when it came out. it was funny, because i was with jeremy, alan, etc., and we met up in union city/fremont that night to have dinner and watch a movie. for the longest time, we couldn't agree on a movie to watch, so we finally settled on this one, even though no one wanted to see it. but it turned out to be a great film, and we all liked it. i will always remember that night because i was on a relatively large dosage of haldol, and the whole night, i didn't tic once (which was quite fucking amazing). strangely, though, haldol stopped working for me soon after, and the tics came back.

ah, haldol. the old atomic bomb of antipsychotic medications. i've overdosed on it before, and believe me, it wasn't pretty. i couldn't even stand straight up; i kept on falling down. i'm currently on 4mg of it a day, and i don't think it's doing much; i must have developed a tolerance for it. i'm seeing my psych next wednesday, and i think he's run out of drugs to give me. sigh.

ok, that's it for me today. hump day is almost over!
