i took C to arby's for lunch today. it was his first time eating there, so i recommended the (always good) beef 'n cheddar. their menu has changed a lot over the years, and i was disappointed to find that they stopped carrying their standard chicken filet. they did have a chicken sandwich, but it wasn't the same one. so i got mozzarella sticks instead, and they weren't very good (the batter was too salty). but man, their beef 'n cheddar was damn tasty. and C liked it as well. mmm, arby's.
so i read about the virginia tech shootings (33 dead so far). so sad. one of my coworkers just graduated from there last year, so i asked him if he still knew anyone there. he had two friends who were still going to school at VT, and he called them both. he couldn't get into contact with one of them, so i hope that person is ok. man, senseless violence, that's just nuts.
so C got new rims today on his car (infiniti g35). he splurged over $2K on them this morning. they look really good. what is it about big rims that makes them look good? i mean, is there a scientific reason why they register pleasure in our brains? and the rims have 5 spokes on them, too, which i think is the best number as far as rims go. so all in all, i think they are a good purchase.
i woke up this morning, and the moment i sat on the toilet and let loose my kegel muscles, i started pissing and shitting at the same time. yup. double-squirts! and my ass kept running way longer than my schlong did. i just kept on diarrhea'ing for minutes on end, and in fact, after i thought i was done and wiped my ass the first time, some more stuff kept coming out. man. i hope i never have a dream where i'm on the toilet, and i wind up taking a dump in bed.
so i was out having a smoke, and this other regular smoker came out. his lighter didn't work, so he had to borrow mine. and that's *exactly* why i always carry two lighters with me all the time. see? there's a method to my madness! haha. well, actually, i only carry two lighters when one of them is my zippo. the zippo has two cases where it might not light: either the fluid is out, or the flint is used up. but anyways, my point is that i'm always prepared as far as smoking goes.
sometimes i wonder why i need to take seroquel to help me sleep. ting mentioned that maybe i have problems with insomnia because i have no need to sleep so much, like i've accumulated a massive negative sleep debt. she might be right, but then again, if i don't need that much shuteye, then what the hell am i going to do with all that time? *ponder*
correction: i have FIVE weddings to go to the rest of this year. that's just crazy. and i really need to get my second (fat) suit altered, so i don't wind up wearing the same outfit five times in a row. i know i'm a guy and all that, but i don't want to get caught wearing the same thing over and over again. otherwise, they'll just call me the "yellow suspenders guy."
so i checked alan and ting's wedding website today. so they only have two people in their wedding party each. alan has two best men: jay and his brother-in-law hanns. i was a teeny tiny bit bummed out that i'm not in alan's wedding party, but then again, i'm sort of relieved because that means i don't have to stand in front of everybody during the ceremony, ticcing and twitching and stuff. i mean, i've never been in anybody's wedding party before, so it would have been nice to say i've done it before, but on the flip side, my tourette's would make me really nervous and self-conscious.
ok. c'est tout.
friday night, a group of us headed to downtown san jose to this place called "poor house bistro" for some cajun food. i got their sampler combo, with some red beans and rice (so-so, not a fan of beans), jambalaya, and gumbo. the latter two were pretty good. i also tried the bread pudding that ann got, and that was really rich and sweet. afterwards, we headed to paul's house, where i helped out a tiny bit with labelling some wedding invitations. apparently, they stayed up until 2am doing wedding invite stuff, but i left around 11.
saturday, four of us met at prolific oven, and all of us ordered the same thing: chipotle chicken pasta. haha. it's the best thing on their menu, imho. afterwards, i went to alan's house, and we went to the dog park to give rylie some exercise. it had just rained, and it was also cold and windy, so there weren't many dogs there. i got kind of bored there, and afterwards, i headed back to mikeC's place to check up on the guys. afterwards, we drove john's place and watched _mythbusters_. they did a thing on hypnotism, which i thought was really interesting. i've always been interested on that subject.
we had dinner at chez mayflower. our first choice was the original mayflower, but there was a big wedding celebration there. in fact, the last two times we've gone there, there have been wedding receptions.
sunday, we had dim sum at dynasty, our usual place. afterwards, i had some alone time at my house. i watched my mavericks beat the spurs in a game that had little meaning, but it was still nice to get a win. tim duncan got ejected, which i thought was funny. afterwards, i took a little nap, and then i went over to john's place to hang out a bit before having dinner (greek food, gyros) at yiassoo. and that was it for the weekend.
