so today was the third thursday ice cream social at our company. in true holiday spirit, we had egg nog ice cream as one of our 8-10 flavors. i thought it was pretty good (i had forgotten what egg nog tasted like), but now i'm burping it up, and it's making feel a bit sick. what kind of alcohol are you supposed to spike egg nog with? rum? anyways, i also had pistachio, cookies 'n cream, and chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream. yeah, it's a lot. but now, the egg nog burps are overpowering everything.
last night, i took my mom to meet one of her college friends E, at one of E's restuarants at redwood shores. the restaurant's called tokyo star (she owns another one in san mateo, but that one has changed names to something like "liquid sushi"). we had to pray before eating. E led the prayer, and it was in chinese, and i didn't understand 100% of it, but i do think she prayed for me to find a nice christian girl. during the dinner conversation, the topic came up, and she was like, "don't you want a girl who loves god?" i gave her a blank stare, and i think i nodded, but in my head, i was thinking the exact opposite. i mean, ok, if she's religious, that might be ok, as long as she doesn't try to convert me. but yeah, it could be an issue. mind you, i'm *not* an atheist; i'm agnostic. i just don't know what's out there.
but yeah, being alone with my mom can be uncomfortable. during the drive back down south after dinner, she kept on talking about religion and how wonderful/powerful it is and stuff. (actually, she hates the word "religion" to describe her faith.) i naturally just blocked it out and concentrated on driving and listening to the radio. ugh. lunch with her wasn't so bad today, but i never know when she's going to bust out the god talk.
i'm impressed at my dad's sense of direction and internal compass. he is pretty good at exploring my neighborhood and finding his way around places. and for some really weird reason, he loves mcdonald's. he doesn't eat the unhealthy stuff; he actually goes there for the salads. last night, he was pretty tired, so he didn't come to dinner with my mom and E. but when i called him, he was actually on the road, exploring the san jose airport for the next day (he is on a one-day business trip today to houston). pretty amazing. if i landed in a foreign city, i would be very hesitant to drive around and explore without a map, for fear of getting very lost. this morning, though, i lent him my GPS just in case he got lost on the way back.
nelson got two 49ers tickets for this upcoming game vs. the bucs, and he invited me. cool! i haven't seen a live football game since his organized outing last year. he assures me that the seats will be better than last time, hehe. last year, we were at the VERY TOP row. i mean, our backs were against the wall of the structure. the players looked like little ants. the only thing i'm worried about is if it will rain. weather.com puts it at a 10% chance of precipitation. and i'm going to try to wear 49ers red. yeah, i know that's probably a blasphemy for a guy who's a die-hard cowboys fan, but why not... i'll support the niners for a day.
the mavericks won last night! by 3 points! steve nash head a decent look at a 3 to tie it, but he shot an airball instead. *phew* and the stanford men (brook lopez is back!) destroyed santa clara, too. i rushed back from dinner and turned on the tv, and i was ping-ponging between the two basketball games. ah, sports. i love it.
i was really horny last night. after watching _the real world_, i stepped out of my room and went down for a smoke, but my parents were already sleeping in the living room. damn. no porn for me. there's this one clip on my lexus dvd from a movie called "secret party" or something like that, and it shows this girl sitting on a chair while this guy's doing her. it's probably my favorite porn scene of all, and that's saying a lot. too bad it only lasts for like 15 seconds. i don't know what it is about that position that turns me on so much, but it just does.
alan once asked one of my ex's what her favorite position was, and she thought about it for a while, and she then replied, "on a chair." so i'm not the only one who likes that! hehe. the interesting thing about that incident was that she and i hadn't had sex on a chair yet, so she must have been reminiscing about a previous time with one of her other boyfriends, and i got sort of jealous and chilly afterwards. nobody ever likes thinking about their sigO's having sex about other people, right?
my car's having problems again. it's done this before, but basically, after i start it, it dies unless i give it some gas. the last time this happened, they had to adjust the idle speed and replace a sticky IAC valve. man, this sucks. right before the holidays, too! the earliest that the dealership can look at it is next wednesday, but i'll be in LA then. so i signed up on the waiting list tomorrow, and i hope someone cancels. ugh, i'm stressed out; car troubles are very irritating and give me a lot of anxiety. my car's 8 years old, and only has 85,000 miles on it. i shouldn't have to buy a new car, right? *sigh*
ok, it's 5pm, and i hope my mom's not bored at home with her thumb up her ass. i still have a bit of work to do before i leave.
