so i think i overhyped myself on those honey dijon kettle chips. i opened a bag up yesterday, and they just didn't taste as good as i remembered. maybe i'm used to the "krinkle cut" variety that the salt/pepper and buffalo bleu varieties come in. i think those have more flavor because they've got more surface area. hm. *ponder*
so i don't own a black suit. i was thinking of wearing a navy suit to my friend's mom's funeral, and when i told my friend C that over lunch, he freaked out. he said that we're only supposed to wear black. so what to do? after lunch, i did a google search of "funeral attire etiquette," and the results i found said that it's actually ok to not wear black, and dark colors are acceptable. so what do you guys think? is it ok to wear navy? if i'm supposed to wear only black, then i have a black shirt and black pants to wear, but no tie or jacket. is that ok?
man, i am really bored today. i can tell because i'm smoking more. i am trying to cut down my cigarette consumption by one per day (making it 9/day instead of 10), but it was too tough to do today. i had a carefully planned regimen of 10/day that i kept for a long time now, and the one smoke that i cut out was the noon cigarette right before lunch, and i was actually doing a good job on it. but in the afternoon today, with nothing to do, i just got too ancy, so i had two of them in the 3 o'clock hour. whoops. well, i'll try again tomorrow.
so my mavs' season almost ended yesterday. it was a crazy game. we were up by 21 points in the first half, and then we blew that lead and were down by 9 with 3 minutes to go. at that point, i conceded the loss, but then, the mavs scored the final 15 points of the game. just crazy! now the big, huge, monumental task will be to win game 6 in oakland tomorrow night. i am frightfully nervous. stressing out. shitting bricks.
i think i'm going to stop buying cd's blind (or rather, deaf). my last cd purchases were new releases by new order, andy bell, pet shop boys, and saint etienne. all of them are no good. i think from now on, i'm at least going to listen to the clips on itunes or amazon. it's a waste of money to buy the cd's, listen to them once, and to never touch them again, which is what's going to happen to those cd's that i just listed. ick.
a lunch (pho nam), i bumped into johnnyC, a stanford guy who was one year behind me. we were just acquaintances, so i was surprised he recognized me (with my different hair and glasses) and remembered the first syllable of my name (he only knew "dar" and not the "dy"). hehe. i looked him up on the stanford alumni site, and apparently, he married his stanford girlfriend and has two sons now. my one memory of him in college was that he was totally shocked that i was going out with k1. (he went to the same high school as her.) he referred to her as a "goddess," and i guess he didn't think that a mere mortal like me could land a woman of her caliber. ha!
i was looking at pictures of a friend of mine, and i decided that she looks better with short hair. it's not a surprise, though, because i've always preferred shorter hair on girls. it's just cuter and sexier, imho. sassy! however, i haven't decided whether every girl can pull off the short hair look. but for those that do, hot damn! add to that a pair of good glasses and some stack heeled penny loafers, and let me at them! :) (yes, i have a lot of fetishes)
