man, i feel sick. C and i went to chili's for lunch, and i mistakenly got the sampler (boneless buffalo wings, southwestern eggrolls, and fried cheese). too much deep-fried goodness made me feel icky. oh, and i gotta remind myself not to get the boneless buffalo wings. those are nasty. i came back wanting to sleep and throw up at the same time. not good.
i had a close call today. there was a meeting where some of the employees had to pay back 40% of their profit from selling their stock options. one of my coworkers told me that i had to do it too, but it turns out that i don't. *phew* 40%! that's a lot, and i didn't want to go through the hassle of filing yet another amendment to my taxes.
so i saw my dermatologist today. remember that big zit on my face? it turns out that i'm supposed to just let it go away. she said that it might take a few months or something. what the fuck? that's annoying. i also saw her for this small "scaly spot" on my right foot, which she froze with some liquid nitrogen. that hurt! and also, i got some more powerful ointment for the psoriasis patch on my left foot. psoriasis is nasty shit, man. i'm kind of embarrassed to go barefoot, and it's been like that for a long time now. i've had this for like 8 or so years now, and it's just not going away. let's hope that this new ointment will do some good.
man, i'm still burping up my lunch. it's gross. i want something light for dinner. suddenly, a bowl of cereal doesn't sound so bad anymore.
so i bought my first CD of 2007. i ordered it off amazon; it's new order's "new" album from 2005. i spotted it at border's books the other day, but i didn't buy it because it was $18.99. i hope it's good. i used to buy tons of music back in the day. my first quarter freshman year in college, i spent over $800 on CD's. i used to go to music stores practically every week or so; music was my "thing," my passion. hell, i own like 700 CD's! but nowadays, not so much; i'm lucky if i buy like 5 discs a year.
i really enjoyed watching a movie yesterday. even though the movie wasn't fabulous or anything, i enjoyed the event in and of itself. i think i'm going to try to see more of them. i had previously been reluctant to see them because of my tourette's; you know, with big crowds and stuff, my tics can really freak out the people next to me. but yesterday, there were hardly any people, and nelson and i had most of the row to ourselves. (by the way, if you've seen a movie with me, that's the reason why i like aisle seats.) but lately, my tics have been better behaved, so i'm more willing to get out there to the theaters.
i'm losing my memory. my psych warned me that it could be a possible side effect of my topamax medication, but i'm not sure if it's the drug or my old age that's doing it. it's really annoying, though. like, i'm having a hard time remembering names and other silly trivia that i used to pride myself for knowing. ugh. it's totally frustrating when i'm searching my memory banks for something i should totally get, but instead i find a huge black hole. ARGH!
ok, one of my coworkers borrowed my spare lighter like an hour ago for a smoke, and he hasn't returned it to me. it's time for me to go track him down and get it back. bye!
friday night, i had a late dinner with paul, leeya and nelson. we went to king noodle (similar to tung kee). they make a mean daikon cake, although i don't like the fact that they put in peanuts. i asked for it without peanuts, but the guy told me that they're already in the batter.
saturday, i had lunch with dj at peninsula creamery in downtown palo alto. it was good catching up with him; he graduates from stanford law in three weeks and then moves to LA for a brief stint there before moving to boston for a year. even though i don't see him much, i'm going to miss him.
after that, i picked up nelson, and i took him to lunch to yiassoo (he got a gyro) while i had dessert (baklava!). then, we headed off to john's place, where nelson proceeded to play like an hour and a half of guitar hero (in the end, the massive "freebird" solo killed him, haha). i called up my friend jessica, who i hadn't spoken to in like a year and a half. it was her birthday, so we talked for a while and caught up. for dinner, we went to st. john's and had 1/2 off burgers. the "beg for mercy" cheeseburger was spicy that night! my whiskey (bushmill's) was twice the cost of my burger.
sunday, nelson and i went to denny's and gorged on their massive (and cheap) breakfasts. i got sausage overload, and boy, were their hash browns tasty. i couldn't finish my pancakes because i was stuffed. then, we went to see _blades of glory_, which was enjoyable, and my favorite moment was seeing jenna fischer (of _the office_ fame) in her lingerie. she's sexy! and she's got some nice boobs. (no, they didn't show them, but she did show off some cleavage. fine! i like jenna, and this scene was a far cry from her frumpy persona in the tv show.
after the movie, we hung about at nelson's place for a bit, and then went to john's to watch the warriors/mavs nba playoff game. man, it was depressing. the game was close throughout, but then the warriors pulled away in the end. damn that baron davis! he scored 19 points in the third quarter, and 33 or so points in the entire game. i am very worried about this matchup. :( we'll see if the mavs can respond on wednesday night. if we lose again, then i am going to completely freak out.
