today's free company lunch was catered by buca di beppo. i used to like that place because the dishes were humongous. but aside from the sheer volume that the kitchen spewed out, i realized that the quality wasn't so good. blech. i mean, today's food was better than the usual stuff, but not by much. i know i shouldn't complain about free food, but still, i just wish it were better.
i've been really restless today. i can't seem to sit still in my cubicle for more than 10 minutes. i keep on getting up and walking around the office, looking for people to talk to. i guess it's been a busy workweek, and i just want to pass time and go home. it doesn't help that my tasks today involve push-button synthesis, which isn't very interactive. i just launch a job and wait for it to finish, so there's nothing to do in the meantime.
i want to see at least one movie this weekend. i haven't seen any of the summer blockbusters (pirates, shrek, spiderman, fantastic 4, etc.), and i feel like i'm getting out of touch with hollywood pop culture. i think the movie that i most want to see is _knocked up_ because i keep hearing that it's really funny. maybe i'll try to round up some people this weekend.
i was pleased during the last game of basketball yesterday. my team of 5 was definitely the underdogs, and we won 7-6. we were scrappy! i don't usually care if we win or lose, unlike some of the other over-competitive players that annoy me to death. but still, it's nice to win sometimes, i guess, and the thing is, i play such horrible defense that my team usually loses anyway. (yes, sometimes i am the big reason why my team loses.) and on top of that, we were playing zone defense against their man defense, and usually, man is much more stifling, so i'm proud of our team for being to score. yippee!
and no, i did not eat the cheese bread that came out of my nose. it was all soggy and shit from being in my nasal passageway. :) i just looked at it curiously (because it was so big, i was surprised) and flicked it underneath my plate, hoping that nobody saw me blow it out of my nostril.
here's an old story that some of you may not know about. one time, i ate two kimchee ramen bowls, then went to take a dump immediately afterwards. i felt sick from all the ramen, so i got this unstoppable urge to puke while sitting on the crapper. now, i couldn't get off the pot because i was taking a shit, so i wound up puking into my left hand. so with one hand full of puke, i had to carefully use the other hand to wipe my ass, stand up, and dump the gack into the toilet bowl. then, i had to again single-handedly button up my jeans (which was not easy) and then go wash my hands. ha!
i've noticed that a lot of my older t-shirts have one small hole in them. where do these holes come from? insects? hm.
ok, gotta go check on some synthesis results. have a great weekend folks!
