so greg reported that after eating his baked beets, his pee turned pink for a few days. it kind of made me wish i had more of the stuff (i only had 2-3 small pieces) so i could experience it myself. i did notice that night that my urine was a bit darker, but it wasn't pink or anything. had i not realized that it was due to the beets, i would have freaked out a little bit because i might have thought it was blood or something. bloody piss!
i spent part of the working day teaching/consulting people how to do stuff. it felt good, being looked upon as "the guy who knew how to get things done." one of the guys was a more senior employee as well, so i was a bit surprised that he didn't know how to solve the problem he asked me about.
i have a zit or something in my right nostril. it hurts when i pick my nose. and i'm getting some bloogy boogers in there as well. i wonder what's wrong. maybe turning on the heater at night is drying out my nose. my PG&E bill was more than double my previous month's total, and a lot more than last year's bill at this time. did the price of gas go up or something? or is this winter colder than last year?
we had a good group of 4 at pizza chicago last night. four people and two medium pizzas works out to exactly 3 slices each. it was tasty shit, and on mondays, they take 25% off the total bill. all that deep dish goodness for about $9 a person, with tax and tip included! pretty sweat deal, if you ask me.
it was cold at city beach today, where i played basketball. when i was running up and down the court, i kept on feeling my nipples because they were rock hard. they could've cut glass! yes, it's a weird sight seeing a guy running around with his hands on his nips, but i just couldn't stop doing it. hehe
so last night's _how i met your mother_ episode presented the 8 steps of going out with someone you see often, i.e. a bartender at your favorite bar or your neighbor or coworker to name a few examples. and as always, since it's a list, my annoying OCD forced me to memorize the list. damnit, why do i do that? anyways, they are: attraction, bargaining, submission, perks, tipping point, purgatory, confrontation, and fallout.
anyways, i've dated someone with close proximity before, i.e. k1, my dormmate. i lived in the smallest dorm (by population) at stanford my freshman year, and we had quite a lot of dormcest. in some ways, it was really cool, because you could just walk down the hall to see your girlfriend. and the good thing was that most of us stayed together through that year, so things didn't get too weird and uncomfortable. unfortunately, for one couple, there was a breakup, and then the guy turned around and hooked up with the girl's friend, so that was pretty awkward. but yeah, dormcest. i have no regrets doing it.
but, i would be hesitant to date someone i work with. that came into play when i was interested in hr girl a few years ago. sometimes, i found it a little distracting, because i found it difficult to concentrate knowing that she was there, and i just wanted to hang out with her and not do any work. man, hr girl. i haven't seen her in over two years. she's one of the hottest girls i know in real life. i should give her a call.
still no word from k1 about her birthday present. i'm starting to wonder if i got the address wrong. she was featured in the next-to-last stanford magazine; she had a spotlight article on her in the alum section about her career and her fame.
*yawn* i'm getting a haircut today. i'm tired of people commenting about my hair. it was especially pointy and "rooster-ish" this morning. it's all about my pillow formation and how i sleep. i think it's pretty neat, but yeah, i'm tired of the exclamations and comments.
you know, do shit-eaters get sick from ingesting fecal matter? i mean, isn't there a lot of dangerous bacteria? hello, e. coli? i have a natural gag reflex when the smell of shit is too strong. once, as a kid, i shit in my pants, and my dad made me clean it up in the bathtub. i wound up puking when i got too involved in the task. but yes, i do have a fascination with my own shit, but hell no, i wouldn't EAT it, you know?
so i really like the song they use for the johnnie walker black commercial. i did a google search, and it's "never the same" by supreme beings of leisure. i was all set to buy it on iTunes, but then i realized that i own the CD! silly me. i know that i gave the CD a good listen a few times, but that song never made an impression on me. funny how a good commercial can make a song.
ok, that's it for today. gonna get a haircut now.
