so i think i'm just going to accept waking up at 8am from now on. i got up at 8 today, watched an episode of _scrubs_ that i taped last night (elizabeth bogush, the faceless MRI patient, is hot!), and then went through my iPhoto collection to find good photos of alan and ting for their wedding's slideshow. then, i left home around 9:15, got breakfast at mcdonald's (this time, a sausage & egg biscuit and hashbrowns), and just went to work at 9:30ish. i felt pretty productive.
i have a zit in the middle of my forehead. it fucking hurts! it feels like a bone bruise in the middle of my skull. i've tried to pop it, but it won't give. ouchie!
so there's this hot girl from our branch in china here. i caught sight of her at the company lunch last friday, but i haven't seen her lately. i've wandered around the cubes on the third floor, but i can't find her. i think mainland chinese girls are more attractive than taiwanese girls, but according to my coworker J, hong kong girls are even less attractive than taiwanese girls. i don't have any data points on that, though. but yeah, i want to go find this girl and introduce myself; maybe she's gone back already, though. i'll go on another scouting mission after i write this blog entry.
relight! e-mail me!
so i bought carol a wedding present today. she didn't invite me to her wedding, but i got her a present anyway. i miss our friendship. we used to talk every tuesday night (after bowling), but then she went off to business school in new york, and we naturally stopped corresponding. after she came back, we never resumed our talks, and we just drifted apart. yeah, friendships come and go, i guess.
it's crazy, though. i know of TEN weddings this year. i'm going/have gone to six of them, and the other four, i'm either not invited or i'm not going. a lot of people getting hitched up. and a lot of money being spent on gifts, bachelor parties, plane tickets, etc. it's all good, though; i love seeing happy wedding ceremonies and love uniting people and all that. it makes me all mushy and shit.
the last basketball game today was great. we lost 6-7, but we put up a great scrappy fight against a team that was clearly dominant. they had two awesome centers, two good shooters, and a great slasher. we were outmanned, outrebounded, and outplayed, but we managed to keep it close all the way until the end. so i was very pleased. root for the underdog! :)
anybody want a broken 27" sony trinitron tv? i'm thinking about recycling it, but if anybody wants to take it and fix it or whatever, it's there for your taking. it's got a good remote and everything. let me know!
so tonight's the 2-hour season finale of _sytycd_. it's been a really good season. i am so much more impressed by what these kids have done, compared to the folks on _american idol_. learning a song doesn't seem as strenuous as learning a choreographed dance, especially since for some of the dancers, they've never had experience with all the styles and stuff. my favorite performance last night was the viennese waltz. that shit is hard! i took some social dance lessons at stanford, and the viennese waltz is fast and dizzying. i could never keep up with the beats, and going counterclockwise is much harder than going the other direction. danny and lacey made it look effortless and just beautiful. plus, i never noticed that the avril lavigne song was in a waltz beat. fyi, i'm rooting for danny to win, even though he has no personality; i just think he's by far the best dancer of the final four.
ok, time for me to get a haircut. it's about time. gotta look good at alan & ting's wedding!
