hey people. so this sunday, i will most likely be attending the third funeral in my life. the first one was for my grandmother (mom's side). the second one was for alan's father. and this one will be for my friend's mom. the first two were very sad, and i have no doubt that this one will be sad as well. what makes all three of these out of the ordinary is that they were for lives that were cut short prematurely. sigh.
i got an epiphany just now during my smoking break. i am working on debugging this soft coring feature that i added for our revB chip, and during my cigarette, i realized that addition operations take precedence over shift operations. ah, C code! so i was all excited to finish my smoke, and i ran upstairs to tell my partner in crime, the C model guy. *eureka*
[update: the test passed! I AM THE MAN! :)]
for lunch, C and i went to corner place, the korean restaurant that paul took us to friday night. i ordered the spicy shredded beef soup (i'm not even going to attempt to spell out the korean name of it), and it was laden with long green onions. i don't mind them normally, but this one just had too much of the stuff. i wound up leaving a lot of the stuff untouched, so i think i'm going to be hungry when dinnertime rolls in. next time, i'm going to ask for less onions, and i'm going to ask them to put in the ramen (an available option).
i had a dream last night about k3. i haven't heard from her in a really long time (almost a year), and i miss her. but anyways, in the dream, i wanted to give her a little bottle of chopped cucumbers (random, i know). i was in a medical school, and there were all these displays of med students, and i tried to find her name among all the cardboard posters. but, all the info they had on her was dated, so i was stressing out because i couldn't find where to send the bottle. i think this dream reflects upon the fact that her birthday is coming up in a few weeks, and i want to send her a gift but don't have her contact information.
i went to safeway yesterday, and i was excited to find that they had honey dijon kettle chips in stock again. i love that shit. i picked up two bags immediately, and i can't wait to open one tonight. (i'm still working on finishing the bag of salt & pepper kettle chips that i got. they're ok, but not as good as the honey dijon ones.) normally, i'm not a potato chips kind of guy, but kettle chips in general are very good. i also like the buffalo bleu ones, too.
so the chip that we finished last month is coming back this sunday. the project lead wants to be in the office all day sunday. ick. i just told my boss that i'll be at the funeral sunday, so he wants me to call in afterwards to check if they need me. i might have to come into work in my suit. coincidentally, if i do, that'll be the second time my boss will see me in a suit, and the last time, it was also for a funeral.
ok. time for a smoke, and then i'm off.
