i'm still giddy over the cowboys' win last night. my throat was sore over all the screaming and whooping i did. nick folk is the man! i got a call immediately after the game from my patriots buddy jeremy; it's gonna be a showdown this sunday!
i am very impressed by our new hire, R. i have to implement this "demo" feature, and i was thinking about it after i came back from basketball, and the way i was going to do it was a bit complicated. so we discussed it during a meeting, and R came up with an extremely simple (i mean, a no-brainer) method of making it work. i mean, it's *so* easy that it's like a one-line change in the code. damn, i guess i still have a ways to go in my engineering ability. but anyways, i'm pleased we got him; he just made my life a whole lot simpler.
so jay's in town! i made reservations for 7 (assuming peter shows up) at amber india in santana row tonight. indian food! bhindi masala, here i come! i haven't had good indian food in a while, so i'm really looking forward to it. but poor jay; he's a die-hard yankees fan, and his team just lost in the ALDS last night. i called him to console him last night, but he didn't want to talk about it. :(
in my rush to get out the door today, i forgot to put on my watch. my right arm feel so naked and light without it. it's funny how we get used to our accessories. like, my right ass cheek just doesn't feel the same without the feeling of my wallet in my back pocket, stuff like that.
so last night's episode of _how i met your mother_ (i taped it because of the football game) revolved around ted's opportunity to have a threesome, which they called "a tricycle." has anyone out there done it before? as kinky as it sounds, i wonder if it's actually any fun. i mean, a guy only has one schlong, right? so the only way that one guy can satisfy two girls is if one girl's riding him on his schlong, and the other is sitting on his face. unless, of course, the girls are bi, so one of them can eat the other one out. anyways, i think the whole thing could get a bit clumsy. *shrug* anyways, i'm only lukewarmly interested in doing it; it's more like one of those "i've done it" things and not something that really excites me.
so like i said, my morning smoke usually sets off my bowels. and since i was getting up early and having that cigarette at home, i would conveniently have my morning dump in my house. but since i've been getting up late, i've been having my morning smoke on the drive to work, and it's kind of nervewracking because i risk the chance of needing to take a dump while in my car. so far, it hasn't happened yet, but man, it's a risky move, no? i refer you to last week's "close call" post where i almost shit in my pants on the drive home from dinner with adam.
i'm sleeping a lot lately. this morning was the first time in ages when i actually slept until my 10:30 alarm. that means i got about 11 hours of shuteye. wow! i had some good dreams, too, but i forget what they were. do you guys have recurring dreams? a lot of my dreams have recurring locations, too. these include my rendition (which are nothing like the real thing) of harvard square, boston, my old high school (j. j. pearce), and other places.
ok, that's it for me today. time to do some IM'ing.
oh, and p.s. yes, i did have fried twinkies at john's bday shindig. they didn't taste like twinkies after they were fried. the sponge cake part tasted like a donut rather than the distinctive yellow cake taste of a twinkie. they were still good and decadent, though, but now that my curiosity has been satisfied, i'm not in a hurry to have them again.
and p.p.s. "divided by religion" my mom and my brother are super-devout christians, and my dad and i aren't. it makes for an interesting (and sometimes frustrating) rift in the family. i'm sure it doesn't please the religious side of the family that one side is going to hell, and the non-religious side sometimes feels a lot of pressure to convert. ugh.
