man. in the last three days, i've spent $3K. on monday, i bought my GPS (it came today), yesterday i booked the hotel for mikeT's wedding ($210 a night), and right after lunch today, i ordered my TV . i'm not looking forward to my credit card bill. no more spending money!
last night, i went to palace for the first time. it's an all-you-can-eat korean bbq place where you have to cook your own food. alan was the grill master, and i ate a lot of meat, compared to what i usually eat. i was pretty stuffed by the end of the meal, and i felt a little nauseated. didn't puke, though. i ordered a kirin ichiban beer, too; i gotta stop doing that, because the beer is no good. the kirin is good in japan, but the stuff in the states is brewed by anheuser busch in LA. not genuine! and palace ain't cheap, either; the dinner buffet was $21.99, and the beer was another $4.
my coworker C was involved in a massive auto accident. he rear-ended someone while going 50mph, and he fractured his right index finger when his airbag when off. damn. i think his truck is totalled. that's horrible. he had to eat his lunch today with a fork, as he couldn't use chopsticks with his splint. i remember when i broke my finger (playing basketball), i didn't use the split because i had to type. and as a result, i have this bone spur that never healed; if you rub my left ring finger, you can easily feel this bump where my bone is coming out. eek!
i saw my psych today. both of us are very pleased that my tourette's is doing decently right now. i mean, i still have a violent tic that goes off from time to time, but the frequency is much less now. *knocks on wood* he mentioned how i was a touch patient. i mean, i went through so many medications (and combinations of stuff) until i found the right "cocktail." we'll see how long this lasts. i mean, i eventually want to taper down on the number (and dosage) of drugs i'm taking, but right now, things are going pretty well. and i'm happy because of that.
so one of the managers here is leaving. i'm kinda sad. he's my sports and stanford loyal buddies. i would even venture to say that he's a bigger stanford fan than i am because he hates cal. (i don't mind the rivalry, and i even cheer for cal sometimes.) he's done a good job, and i will miss him. sigh. i hate seeing people go, but i guess that's the nature of silicon valley. it always makes me wonder how long i'm going to stay here.
of all the shows that have come and gone, i think i miss _ally mcbeal_ the most. man, i loved that series. i think it's because ultimately it was about love and relationships. and quirkiness! my favorite character of all was john cage. hehe. and plus, _ally_ had a character with tourettes (anne heche)! it was the only tv series where i actually cried (when billy died). the only thing i didn't like about that show was that calista flockheart got too thin. she looked horrible. during the first season, i thought she was adorable, but i don't know what happened to her; she just got all skeletal and stuff. ick. and also, it's a shame that robert downey, jr. got kicked off the show because he got arrested.
the other day, after taking a dump, i wiped so hard i *broke* the toilet paper. now, remember, i fold the toilet paper in 1/8ths, so that meant i ripped through an 8-ply block! now that's wiping pretty hard! luckily, i didn't get shit all over my fingers. just thought i'd end this blog entry with that.
ok, off for a smoke.
