the other night, i had this dream where this guy grabbed me by the arm and then produced a knife. he then stabbed me. i woke up right when the knife punctured my side. i was shaking. and then, i was scared to go back to sleep. it's the first nightmare i've had in a long long time. i usually have some anxiety dreams, but never violent ones. hm. i wonder what brought that one on.
i'm craving mozarella sticks. i LOVE that stuff; it's probably one of my top 5 foods to eat. maybe i'll stop by jack in the box on the way home and grab some. i need to get some milk anyways. (remember my resolution to become lactose tolerant again?)
i am totally football'ed out. i watched just under 7 hours of it yesterday. but yet, i will probably watch some of the giants/falcons game tonight. i'm totally rooting for the underdog falcons, because the giants are in the same division as the cowboys, and if the giants win, they'll only trail dallas by one game.
i am 100% back to my old sleeping schedule now. i hit my 10:30 alarm this morning, and i snoozed a couple of times and finally got out of bed at 10:50. this was my normal routine before the whole getting-up-early phase that i was in earlier. i think i attribute it to the cooling weather, because it makes me want to snuggle during those cool mornings. oh, and i finally closed the windows in my bedroom because it was getting super cold there.
does anybody know when daylight savings shifts? i'm gonna hate it when it does; it's so depressing when i leave work and it's already dark.
has anybody seen _lust, caution_ yet? i want to know about all the sex and nudity. is it hot? what do they show? i don't think i've ever seen an NC-17 movie before. i've seen unrated movies (like _sex and lucia_) that showed full frontal nudity (and that one featured one of the biggest schlongs i have ever seen).
i've got a lot work ahead of me. yet, i haven't started on it. i gave a commitment to finish it by the end of next week, and it seems like a long ways away. hm. i'm such a bad procrastinator. it's the lazy side of me that rears its ugly head in times like these. every day, in the morning, i promise myself that i'll do good work, but i just goof around all day, and by the time 4pm or so hits, i just say, "well, the workday is almost over, so i'll just do it tomorrow." ugh. i suck.
i've got a lot of porn clips that feature girls with tongue studs. do guys find that to be a turn-on? i don't. especially when they're fellating the dudes. my big fear is that they'll push the tongue stud into the guy's meatus. damn, that would fucking hurt. ouchie!
my primary care physicial at palo alto medical foundation wrote me a letter saying that he's retiring. damn. now i have to find a new doctor to cradle my balls and tell me to cough. i wonder... would i be comfortable having a woman do that job? like, would a woman be comfortable with a male gynecologist? hm. this whole thing makes me think, though, because all of my doctors (my psych, my massage lady) are kind of old, so it'll be a pain when they all stop practicing, and i have to find new people to do those jobs for me.
so like i said, while i was watching the cowboys/patriots game at paul's house yesterday, paul, leeya and aimee all had to leave to run errands, and i was alone for part of the afternoon. i am thankful that paul felt comfortable enough to trust me to hold down the fort; i know i would feel weird if i left someone at my place alone while i was out. *shrug*
there's this one dude at the company who wear his sunglasses on top of his head. all day long. wtf? why doesn't he just take them off and leave them on his desk? is there some weird chance that he'll need to put them on at some random time of the day? hrmph. i dunno. it just irks me for some strange reason.
ok. i'm being catty. i should just stop here.
friday night, i went over to paul's place for dinner. he grilled up some ribeye, and aimee cooked some pasta. the food was good; i haven't had a home-cooked meal in a long time. i brought over some buffalo-bleu krinkle-cut chips and some "thick and hearty" A-1 sauce. i was looking for the "bold and spicy" A-1, but they were sold out. rats. afterwards, we met up with nelson at tap-ex for some pearl drinks.
saturday, nelson and i went to IHOP for brunch. i haven't gone with him one-on-one for lunch in a long time. we used to go out a lot way back when, but since then, our lunch time groups have expanded. i don't like IHOP's sausage, though. afterwards, we picked up mikeC, and we went to guitar center, where mike was looking to buy a new guitar. i got bored, so i went out for a smoke. then, i went over to cheesecake factory and bought a $42.95 chocolate chip cookie dough cheesecake for ting's birthday at alan's request.
afterwards, i went home and took a little nap and watched some college football. then, i went over to alan and ting's place, and we carpooled over to banana leaf for ting's birthday dinner. the food was decent, and it was pretty reasonably priced, too; in the end, the tab was just $20 a person. i didn't get the chow kueh teow, though, because i remembered that it wasn't that good the one other time i went there.
we went back to alan's place afterwards, and we busted out the cheesecake. boy, was it rich and sweet. i really struggled to finish it, and after a really long time, i was able to power it down. i was able to watch the highlights of the cal/oregon state game (poor cal, boneheaded quarterback), and we also watched some funny youtube clips on the computer. i stayed until about 11 and then went home.
sunday was all about football. i got up, watched part of the packers/redskins game, and then i grabbed some taco bell and headed over to paul's place. he had satellite, so i was able to watch the cowboys/patriots game. btw, i wore my troy aikman jersey. :) unfortunately, we lost, but i wasn't so bummed because i knew the patriots were just that good. we competed (and even led at one point), and that's all i could ask for. brady was just on fire. everybody in the house left to run errands, so i watched part of the game by myself, but nelson came over during the second half and watched it with me. when it was over, i called up jeremy (my patriots counterpart) and congratulated him.
i went home after that, and then dishi and barden (two seahawks fans) came over to my place to watch the seahawks/saints game on my HDTV. i ordered some pizza, and we had a little viewing party. unfortunately, the saints showed up this time, and the seahawks lost. bummer.
but the time the game ended, i was totally football'ed out, so i just went to bed early. i watched two entire games, plus part of another! hehe. anyways, my sunday felt kind of dull and monotonous, but it's ok; i want to enjoy the football season while it's here. the season is just so short, and i know i'll miss it when it's over.
