so last night, a group of us went to fiesta del mar too in downtown MV. the waiters shuffled us into the back corner of the add-on room, and they didn't come get our order until i got up and summoned them. and then, i had to get up again to get a refill of our salsa. and they never refilled our water, either. so i was pretty miffed by the end of our meal. so at a certain point, i said very loudly and emphatically, "THE SERVICE IS HORRIBLE!" right when a waiter came to clean out some dishes. ack! there was this hush of silence, and while the waiter picked up the stuff, he made a clarification that he peeked into our area a couple of times to check up on us. man, i was so fucking embarrassed. i ended up tipping $10 on a $20 tab for myself. i wonder if i can ever go there again (they serve a wonderful chimichanga). luckily for me, there's another location (hence the "too") nearby. but still, the service *was* bad!
so i'm seeing _lust, caution_ tomorrow! movie nudity, here i come! i wonder if i'll pop a boner during the sex scenes. my friend J, who saw it a couple nights ago, said it was very "explicit," but he wouldn't give me any details. i guess it's not kosher to talk about sex in the workplace. but anyways, i'm excited. this will probably be the closest to watching porn in the theater, hehe. i remember watching _y tu mama tambien_ in the theater a few years ago; people actually got up and left. prudes!
i had lunch with william today at hong kong bistro on castro (i seem to be eating on castro a lot lately). don't go there. the food isn't very good. i ordered the wonton noodle soup, and it was pretty bad. william got this macaroni dish, and it looked really unappetizing, too. for some reason, though, the place was packed, and we wound up sitting outside. go figure.
my brother shut down his xanga earlier this week. i had been a lurker on there for a few years, and i was sad when i went there and found the notice. he told me that it was just time to close down his blog, and to let go of the good and the bad. i thought to myself, "the bad?" and was a bit puzzled because he didn't really talk much about stuff that bummed him out. i guess he was a bit cryptic or something.
me, i haven't written much cryptic stuff at all. there *is* stuff that's going on in my life that i haven't talked about in this forum; my blog is not a tell-all in any shape or form. i do have secrets, you know. :) and the good thing about having different circles of friends is that i can vent some of those secrets to certain circles and not risk being "found out." you know me; i like to get stuff off of my chest, so having places to vent is good for me. it's all about catharsis.
so it finally happened this morning. i smoke on my drive to work, as you probably know, and today, that cigarette set off my bowels. within my first 2-3 drags, i needed to take a dump. i was already on the road, so i have to clench the entire 5.3 miles of my commute, rush to the bathroom, and the moment my ass cheeks hit the porcelain, a massive liquid dump gushed out of my sphincter. *phew* thank goodness for kegel muscles! (and thank goodness for my short commute; if it had been longer, i would have had to turn back and go home to take my shit.)
damn, sandisk (SNDK) took a nosedive today. the stock dropped $7! holy fuck monster. i bought in at $37, it went all the way up to $58, and now it's like $44. damn, i should have sold. oh well. them's the breaks. anyways, i guess i should just be patient, because i should plan to wait until march 2008 (when i've had it for a year) to sell because i want to lock in long-term capital gains. but still, it hurts.
would you guys consider getting vasectomies after you're done having kids? i mean, before that, for birth control, i guess you would have your wives being on the pill or something, right? but after kids, i think the guy should at least consider taking part in the birth control process. vasectomies are pretty bulletproof, right? (or maybe not, i dunno. in _scrubs_, dr. cox and jordan got pregnant even he got one.) anyways, that's something i would consider, although i am deathly afraid of any knife getting close to my hardware.
ok, it's friday, and i have major senioritis. next week, i have a LOT of work to do. ah, the procrastination king does it again. but anyways, have a GREAT weekend folks!
