*RAAR* i spent two hours today debugging a feature that turned out to be removed from the chip. FUCKING NUTS. i went ground up, wondering why the hell the input wasn't toggling, and when i finally got to the chip level, it turned out that the input was grounded. what the hell, man. i was pretty pissed off after that.
so apparently, whatever sickness i had the other day only lasted for like 12 hours. so i'm good to go on the camping trip, although i requested greg bring his 2-man tent for me so i don't transfer any residual germs to other people.
i had lunch today in palo alto with barden and gwen, the latter who was in the area for a wedding. we went to the new mango cafe, which was sporting an entirely (and unrecognizably) new menu. i ordered the jerked chicken quesadilla (because you know i love quesadillas), but it was horrible. damn, i knew i should have ordered the goat curry over rice. but still, it was good catching up with the two of them, even though i just saw barden on monday.
so facebook is pretty cool. you can write applications for it and share it with all the other users. so today, i added the superpoke and (fluff) friends apps. i adopted a monkey and named it "monchichi." neat-o. this may be a novelty, though, but yeah, it's still pretty cool.
my sports knowledge is dwindling. i still turn on _sportscenter_ every night, but the thing is, it's taking me a lot less time to actually fall asleep to it. so i'm losing touch with all the goings on in the sports world. this faster sleeping business is due to my earlier start time, i'm 100% sure. lately, i've been waking up around 8-8:30am still. isn't this a huge mystery, especially considering that i've been probably one of the laziest people when it comes to sleeping in? *ponder*
is it illegal for telemarketers to call cell phones? if it is, then thank goodness for that. it would really piss me off if they did that, wasting my minutes and generally being a big nuisance. i do have a landline, but i have the most basic service, which only costs like $5 a month. i still get calls from random people, though, like this one woman who's looking for a dude named "francisco." go figure.
am i the only one who sorts my cell phone contacts by last name? everyone else i know does it by first name. hm. am i too business-like? i will say, though, that i sort my e-mail folders by first name, but fyi, i only have e-mail folders for girls that i like or have liked in the past; everyone else (except my stanford guy-buddies and my family) goes in this massive "friends" folder.
so when i was hanging out with jan, jeremy, kate, etc. on monday night, we were talking about our college friends, and it seemed like there was more drama with friendships between girls than friendships between guys. why is that? is it because guys are just more chill? i've personally seen more falling out over girls' relationships, and just a general sense of increased cattiness. of course, that's not to say that i haven't lost any of my guy friends myself; there are definitely some male friends that i've grown apart from over the years, but those are more due to fading away than fights and bad blood and stuff.
ok, it's 6. i wanna get out of here. have a STUPENDOUS long weekend folks! and hope i don't get lost out there in the wilderness!
