man, i need to find a malaysian dish to eat besides chow kueh teow. we went to spice islands today for lunch, and i got that again. this time, it wasn't so good, but i think it's because i get it every time. i'm a creature of habit, and i have my "usual" dishes, but it gets a little boring. i tried some of the curry sauce that C got, so maybe i'll get his curry chicken the next time we go there.
it's windy today. yesterday, they said that the gusts went up to 40mph. it doesn't make my smoking breaks very pleasant, and plus, i'm not wearing a hooded sweatshirt today. i've become sensitive to my head getting cold. i know, the weather here in the bay area is nothing like the east coast or the northern parts of the world, so you could call me spoiled. but yeah, i've been more sensitive to chilly weather over the years. when i first started college back in 1992 out here, i wore shorts year round. now, i bundle up when the temperature dips to the 60's. yup, spoiled.
so every monday, the bowling gang selects one person to cook or everyone. yesterday, paul grilled up some tasty kalbi. i went, despite the fact that i don't participate in the cooking. i felt a little guilty about that, so i think what i'm going to do is that i'll volunteer one of these mondays and just take everyone out to eat at a restaurant and pay the entire tab. that seems fair, no? i'm thinking hunan homes. i haven't been there in a while, and i have a hankering for some peking duck.
so tomorrow's the big company trip to napa. it'll be nice to get a break away from work, but the big problem is that i have to be at the office by 9:30am. that's early! and then there's the two long and boring bus rides to and fro. there's going to be a "game" (that's what they're calling it) in the afternoon, and my hunch is that it's going to be a scavenger hunt. hm. not sure if that's going to be fun. but either way, i shouldn't complain. i just hope the weather's going to be nice.
so i've noticed that after dogs take a shit, their owners don't have to wipe their asses. why is that? do dogs pinch off cleanly? i know that if i didn't wipe, i'd be leaving skidmarks left and right. and dog's sphincters are much closer to the surfaces of their butts than humans; we have that crease that hides our assholes deep within. it's my fear of doggie skidmarks that makes me never let dogs sit on my lap.
so it's another american idol night. i think what most people want to see is how sanjaya does, and what the judges say to him. i can't believe that he's made it this far, and there was even an article on msnbc that he has a chance at winning it. are you serious? i wonder how much sway votefortheworst.com has, because apparently a lot of people are super pissed off at the website for championing mr. malakar. hehe
ok. i got a meeting at 5. time to squeeze in my last work cigarette of the day.
