hey peeps. this week is going to be weird, having a day off in the middle. i feel like it's a throwaway week, but then again, there are four normal workdays, just split in half. hm.
so we're going to alexander's (again) this weekend to celebrate leeya's birthday. i hope we don't order wine this time. the last time, i think we got two expensive bottles, which drove up the price to $82 a person. yowzers! i'm still interested in trying the authentic kobe beef from japan, but at over $200 a pop, i'm not going to pull the trigger on that one. remember that i decided i don't like steak, so i'm not sure what i'm going to order this time. and also, last time, i was very underdressed, so this time i'll be sure to bust out my club monaco gear. man, i spent so much money at that store, and i rarely get to wear that stuff anymore. no more clubbing nights!
thus begins july. it's going to be a busy month. i've got birthday celebrations, two bachelor parties, a trip to taiwan, my dad's visit, some bbq's, etc. i'm looking forward to it, though. it's nice to have things to do. i'm just not looking forward to the heatwave that we're supposed to have.
the movie last night was a bit uncomfortable for me. my tourette's has been acting up a little bit, and i had some strangers sitting to my right. (that's why i like aisle seats.) i ticced a few times at the beginning of the movie, and they kept looking at me funny. i spent much of the movie almost lying down, trying to keep my tics in check. they behaved because of that, but it was a bit awkward-looking and the weird posture sort of made my neck and back sore. sigh, this damn tourette's of mine.
have there been any studies on subliminal learning? i mean, what happens when you hear stuff that's spoken to you when you're sleeping? does it get learned? i remember that _friends_ episode when chandler's trying to quit smoking by listening to this tape while he's in bed. does that stuff work? i ask because i fall asleep to sportscenter all the time, and i wonder if i am subconsciously learning all this sports information because of it. *ponder*
i had another bloody dump today. it always happens right after lunch, after my post-meal cigarette. i can't tell how much of it is pure blood, because all of it is liquid. hm. oh, saturday night, when i was driving to work, i felt this insane urge to take a shit. i was literally speeding down the road as fast as i could, and after i parked, i ran through the building to the bathroom, and as soon as i sat down, all this explosive diarrhea blew out of my ass. it felt SO GOOD. i've had orgasmic pisses before, but this might be the first orgasmic dump i've ever had.
ok, that's it for today. time to see who's around for dinner.
so friday night, four of us had dinner at pizza chicago. it's pretty much understood that when we go there, we order the great chicago fire pizza. that's damn tasty. i do miss the al bundy pizza, though, but nobody ever wants to order that with me. we got another pizza, the dennis rodman. it was only so-so. after that, i just went home and watched _sportscenter_ and fell asleep.
saturday, nelson, mikeC and i had lunch at pho nam. afterwards, nelson and i stopped at sports basement so he could pick up a bike lock. then, we went over to see john, who was taking care of three kittens and two puppies. the kittens were living in the bathtub, and man, they stunk. smelled like shit-filled kitty litter. we watched a lot of tv, and then we left to meet up with mikeC again for dinner at fiesta del mar for dinner.
fiesta del mar makes fabulous chimichangas. it's basically a huge deep-fried burrito. very heavy, very delicious. i also ordered a root beer, and at the last minute, a whiskey. i was completely stuffed (and not to mention that my dinner was $28), so stuffed that afterwards, i went back into the bathroom and puked some of my dinner up to relieve the pressure in my stomach. then, we headed over to paul's place to hang out for a bit. we watched the second of _courage under fire_, and then i had to go into work for a bit to check up on a job i was running earlier in the day. then, i skype'd my mom for half an hour and went to bed.
sunday, a group of us had lunch at pho kim long. the six of us were split among two tables, so i sat with paul's two younger sisters, tina and aimee. they use the word "hella" a lot. afterwards, the two guys ditched me, and i drove the three girls to the great mall, where they shopped at forever 21. i went off on my own to izod, tommy hilfiger, and nautica. i actually spent more than they did! haha. i'm not much into buying clothes, but i picked up a yellow polo shirt and an orange t. ah, my favorite colors.
after getting back to paul's place, we watched the second half of _judge dredd_. bad movie, but at least it had diane lane in it. i think she's beautiful, as evidenced by the fact that she immediately made it into the first list of my nubiles right after natalie portman. i was supposed to have dinner with alan and ting, but they had a late lunch at valley fair's foodcourt, so i went out again with paul and company. we didn't have dinner, but met up with greg and cheryl to watch _knocked up_ at AMC vallco.
i thought the movie was ok. i think i hyped it up too much and was hoping it would be hilarious. i did get my hot dog fix, though, for a whopping $4. it was a long movie, and i got home around 11pm, took a quick shower, and hopped into bed hoping to catch the tail end of sportscenter. but they must have ended it earlier, because they were showing a rerun of a baseball game. oh well.
