at 4am today, i had to take a leak, and bad. but i was sporting a massive woody at the same time. usually, when this happens, i just stand there for a few seconds, thinking about something non-sexual like baseball, and my boner just naturally goes away. but this time, the blood just wouldn't drain. so i decided i would just try taking a piss anyway. man, i had to lean forward all the way so my head was buried in my knees, and i *still* had to press my schlong down to the point where i thought it would break off. and even then, all i could get out of it was a slow trickle. haha!
i also had dream this morning about rachael ray, except that she was a super-deformed anime character. "super-deformed" is a term used when normal human-proportioned anime figures are shrunk down to child-like heights, and their heads get bigger and their eyes are all huge (even bigger than normal anime-style). it was a bit cute, and a bit spooky, seeing rachael ray like that. i don't really watch her shows, so i was a bit puzzled why she popped up in my dreams.
so last night, after i got home, i was suddenly inspired to create a mix cd. so i went through my music collection, picking out choice songs that i loved. i wound up with 100 minutes worth of music, so it took me a while to whittle it down to 80 minutes; i had to let go of a few songs i loved (dido's "hunter" was one of them), but in the end, i wound up with a cd that i won't get tired of for a long time. it's good driving music, and it's an eclectic mix of stuff. when i went to dinner last night, paul was in my car, and he went through it. some of the songs he liked (especially an acoustic version of dishwalla's "counting blue cars"), and some of them, he was like, "really?" (like n'sync's "this i promise you"). but anyways, many of the songs are tracks that i was obsessed with at some point or another in my life.
i really have to credit my early wakeup time for my reacquaintance with my music collection. unfortunately, though, i think i'm starting to revert back to my old schedule. i've been getting up later and later. for example, today, i got out of bed at 9:40. (recall that a few weeks ago, i had been getting up at 8-8:30.) so i think i'm getting lazy again. oh well, it was interesting while it lasted.
so C's last day here at the company is next friday. i'm gonna miss him. he's been a good friend and lunch buddy. i never worked with him, so i can't call him a good co-worker, but from what i can tell, he's done some good work here. he's just a baby, though (he's 21), so he hasn't learned how to slack off. fyi, he's going to UCLA to get a ph.d. i tried briefly to persuade him not to get one, telling him that industry experience was better than an advanced degree, but i gave up pretty quickly. i was just being selfish by wanting him to stay, hehe.
my mom turned 58 yesterday (taiwan time). she didn't even remember until i skype'd her to say happy birthday. sigh. my parents are getting old. i miss them, too. i'm going to see them in december when my cousin gets married in LA. that's the 6th and last wedding i'll be going to this year; it's going to be a huge family reunion on my dad's side. i wonder if i'm going to drink in front of my parents; my guess is probably not, and plus i won't have any peers to celebrate with, which is why i'm not really looking forward to the event.
i've been spending more money lately, eating out and buying stuff, etc. one of my credit card (i have two cards) bills came in today, and it was more than one of my paychecks. ouch! of course, it was for my TV and two wedding gifts, among other things, so it made sense that it was so much. man weddings cost a lot of money, especially since the previous and next one are destination weddings. hotels, travel, plane tickets, food, etc. it all adds up!
i'm having brunch with cindy and kevin tomorrow morning in the city. man, it's been awhile since i've been to SF. i can tell it's been a long time because i'm sort of afraid of driving there. for a while, i went there often enough to not be worried about getting lost or finding parking, i.e. i was comfortable and familiar. but now, it's been well over a year since i last visited the place. lucky i have GPS now! but yeah, it'll be cool to catch up with kevin, especially. he was my best friend in high school, and we do this brunch thing once a year.
ok, time to finish my V8 and go out for a smoke. healthy drink and cancer stick! have a STUPENDOUS weekend folks!
