hey peeps. i got some bad news today. a friend of mine's mom got a massage brain aneurysm a few days ago, and now she's in critical condition. horrible, just horrible. i guess our parents' ages are getting up there. my mom's health isn't so good, either, and for a while there, she was at the point where she couldn't get out of bed. i still worry for her health, although she seems to be doing better lately. i've attended one friend's parent's funeral, and it was a very sad event. i hope i don't have to go to another such event in a long while. in the meantime, my friend and his mom are in my thoughts.
my basketball outing today was very poor. i had a lot of open shots, especially when we played 3 on 2. i was one of the three, and they didn't even defend me when i shot from the free throw line. but damn, i couldn't even make those shots! fuck. i wound up being 0 for like 8 or so from the field, and i was very disappointed in my performance. in the end, i was so disgusted with myself that i left early. yuck. *pukes*
so i'm not getting a massage today. my masseuse is saddled with appointments all afternoon, and i didn't want to get one in the middle of work. i view massages as a nice treat at the end of the workday, so i scheduled one for tomorrow at 5:30pm instead. that breaks a streak of thursday massages. and for an OCD guy like me, streaks are very important things; i like to keep them going. oh well. time to start another streak, i guess.
i had a dream so real that it nearly replaced my memory. i dreamt that i went skiing, and when i woke up this morning, i was like, "yeah, i DID go skiing with those people!" but in fact, the last time i went skiing was years ago (after which i "retired" from all winter activities). man, i hope i never get a hyper-realistic dream where i'm sitting on the toilet, whereby i take a shit in bed. even now, i'm so afraid of that happening that before i take a dump, i first double check and pinch myself to check that i'm not dreaming.
so it's all set. alan's bachelor party will be in mid-july. vegas, baby! i had a lot of fun at jay's event a few years ago, also in vegas. aside from sitting by the pool for a little while and eating lunch, i don't remember what we did during the day, but at night, of course we just went to the strip clubs. we hit olympic gardens the first night and sapphire the next. it's too bad, though, because alex can't make it (he and his wife are expecting the arrival of their daughter in late july). i was really looking forward to drinking with him. shucks. hopefully at least i'll get to see him at the wedding.
i'm hungry. since today was basketball day, i just got my usual sandwich at the company cafeteria after i got back. but they ran out of regular bread, so i had to use a large dinner roll as my bread. it was nasty, and i couldn't finish it and threw half of it away. i think i'll skip my cereal-for-dinner routine and get some real food instead after i leave work.
ok, i'm audi. ciao!
