last night, i watched my first entire stanford men's basketball game. well, i missed the first 3-4 minutes because i went out and got a subway sandwich. (they have ranch dressing now for free! i used to have to purchase a "fat free" packet for 25 cents, which was tasteless and gross.) but anyways, yeah, i love my stanford men's team, almost as much as i love my dallas cowboys. we return the entire roster this year, with exception of carlton weatherby, who didn't play much anyway, so i have high hopes for our squad this season. we played yale, and surprisingly enough, they played pretty well for an overmatched ivy league team. i just hope brook lopez gets his act together (he's on academic suspension), because we really need him to be a better contender.
i just checked out brook lopez's facebook profile, and he has like over a thousand friends. ridiculous. is a human being's brain even capable of remembering a thousand names and faces? *ponder*
so we were supposed to go out for my birthday (it's on sunday, hint hint) lunch today, but D was stuck with doing an ECO at work, and J was tired from playing poker until 6am, so we postponed it until next monday. so i just moped around and got jack in the box and ate it in my cube by myself. *sobs* hehe. actually, i'm still burping up the mozzarella sticks i had. that shit is so good. once, in college, i had TEN sticks. that's a lot of cheese, huh?
i have a problem with talking too loudly. and sometimes, like on this blog, i say rather inappropriate things, so i have a tendency to cause embarrassment to the people i'm talking to. *hides in a corner* i really need to watch the volume of my voice. like, the other night, at gombei, ting had to shush me and alan because people were turning around and glaring at us during our conversation. ugh. i feel bad.
last night, amy called me up. some asshole stole the BACK WHEEL of her bike? who the fuck does that? and what would you do with a wheel? man, that just pisses me off. she's averaging bike a year getting stolen. that's pretty horrible. (btw, she lives in DC.) poor amy. i miss amy. i love her! she's one of my oldest friends that i keep in touch with. we met when i was in early high school (i think), and the first time we met, she was bold enough to be wearing these bright orange shorts. i will never forget that. :)
so a lot of plans are set for this long weekend. tomorrow is the taiko peeps' turkey deep fry party in the early afternoon, and then grace is cooking up dinner at night. friday is wide open (no plans yet). saturday is a birthday BBQ with the stanford crowd, and then a birthday dinner with the bowling gang, after which they may plan to get me piss drunk. and then, sunday is the _so you think you can dance_ show, with maybe some football watching beforehand.
ok, i'm headed off to my massage. i'll be back in about 45 minutes.
.....
all righty-o. i'm back! i feel all loosey-goosey from my massage. i usually go once every two weeks, but this time, i waited a month in between massages. it felt damn good, though.
the stock market's tanking. in the past two weeks or so, i've lost about $3K in my recently-bought holdings. ouch! it's ok, though, because it's not like i bought on margin or anything, so i'll just wait it out. in the past, i've bought on margin before, and i've gotten notices (or more like threats) for me to put in more money or face liquidation of my holdings. now *that* sucked.
so dark-haired women who dye their hair blonde ever bleach their pubes too? i was watching the one video the other day, and i swear that this girl's pubes were not natural. they were blonde and curly, and they just did not look natural. i mean, eyebrows and pubes are the two things that reflect a girl's real hair color, right? well, this girl's eyebrows were brown, and her pubes were a bright yellow! hm, something was just not right with that. but man, what if the bleach hit the girl's clitoris? that must burn like a mofo! can't be comfortable.
this afternoon, i watched an entire episode of _the real world: sydney_ at work. since it's wednesday, i wanted to know if i should tape tonight's episode, but it appeared that i had missed one (i don't know how this could be). but anyways, i wasn't rushed to do any work (although i *did* work this week), so i just spent the next 20 minutes watching the latest episode (#17). it was the first time i've watched TV on my computer. i swore i'd never do it, because it seemed awkward, and the screen's too small, but i was glued to the episode because the drama between parisa and trisha was just too gripping. man, what a catfight! parisa is a big tattletale. but i'm still attracted to her, though. i just like dark brunettes, *shrug*.
i wonder how i would do on a show like _the real world_. i mean, generally, i'm an easy going guy, but i do have pet peeves. and it is possible to annoy me greatly, and once i'm annoyed by a person, it's hard for me to let go of it. i think i've chilled out over the years, but man, in my earlier days, i definitely had people that rubbed me the wrong way. i never got into fights with them, though; my usual mechanism is to ignore them.
ok, i gotta take my coworker D to the airport (yes, another airport ride) soon. everyone, have a SAFE and STUPENDOUS thanksgiving weekend! *muah*
