so there was a lot of commotion at my place this morning. i got up at 8, and an hour later, these guys came over to fix the light switch and the garbage disposal. then, the property manager (nancy) and the cleaning lady came 10 minutes later. at first, the repair guys said that they couldn't fix the stuck garbage disposal, but then nancy unjammed it with a broom handle, very resourceful. when she turned it on, though, it started smoking, and it smelled horrible, like rust flakes. so she decided to replace the whole thing. meanwhile, the cleaning lady (maria) proceeded to clean all the 2.5 baths. i left after about half an hour to go to work, so i'm hoping to go home tonight and find my bathroom all spic and span.
so someone asked whether i can adjust my hours at work now that i'm getting there 1.5 hours earlier. well, not really. i still have to show face time, and although i'd like to leave earlier, it would look bad if i did. i'm still leaving around 6 or so, so that's why i'm not going to work at 8am; there's just no point in doing that. speaking of work, i did some good sleuthing today. one of the simv's was crashing on me, so i did some experiments, and i finally figured out why the simulation was dying. (an environment variable wasn't set.) eureka!
so congratulations to the winner of _sytycd_! i'm not going to give it away so you people who haven't watched it yet don't find out, but yeah, i was really happy for him/her. i accidentally spilled the beans when i talked to ting this morning, and i felt really really bad. *bonks himself over the head* i should have thought about it before i revealed to her who won. but anyways, i really enjoyed this season, and i'm looking forward to seeing the tour in november. my favorite repeat-performances of last night were the two shane sparks hip-hop numbers. it was great seeing lauren and dominic again, too.
we went to e-noodle today for lunch. dumplings! i couldn't decide between dumplings and leek-boxes, so i got the former, and D got the latter, and we shared. that was the perfect combo. i was disappointed they didn't give us the pig-ears, though; the side dishes were bad this time. oh well. oh, and the dumplings were smaller this time. phooey. and they gave J 13, and me 11. i guess they boiled them together and miscounted them when they split them up.
so i found gift registries for all the weddings i'm not invited to. i think i'm going to buy them gifts anyway. remember when i bought k2 a gift? and her husband said, "thanks for the gift, thought it was not necessary. please let this be the last time we hear from you." ha! i wonder if they've moved back to the bay area yet.
relight! i'm waiting for your e-mail. i tried e-mailing you this past week (hotmail account), but it bounced back.
so now i have no tv to watch for about a month. i'm not sure what shows i'm going to follow this upcoming season. definite _scrubs_ and _how i met your mother_, but what else? of course, there's football as well, and in the winter/spring, stanford basketball and _american idol_. hm. i think that's probably enough. but if you had to name one show that i should follow, what would it be? suggest something!
there's nothing wrong with being perverted. in fact, i probably wouldn't date someone who wasn't. :)
you something that i used to love but haven't had in a while? gummy peach rings. i used to eat bags of those at a time at the office, but then, some of the bags got tainted or something, and they tasted really awful, like they were laced with some sort of nasty chemical. hm. now, i'm really craving some. does haribo make them?
one of the side effects of being up at 8am is that i am smoking more. it's because i'm awake for more hours during the day. NOT a good thing. the next time i get a physical, i'm going to ask for a chest x-ray.
after this weekend, my next two are booked solid. next weekend, i'm headed down to LA for alan and ting's wedding, and then (labor day weekend) it's greg's tahoe camping trip. this year is turning out to be a lot of fun, with all the weddings, bachelor parties, and stuff like that. i'm enjoying it. :)
ok, almost 5pm. the weekend's gettin' close!
