so i got a business proposition through friendster the other day. this girl named shuhua (fob-looking, kinda fugly) from china was offering me $40K to marry me for three years to get an american citizenship. (she was also offering me $5K for a referral.) hm. no thank you! if she was hot, then maybe i would consider it (but then again, i struggle with finding a fob girl hot in the first place), but in the end, i just closed the window and didn't give it a second thought. friendster seems to be getting shadier and shadier now. i've also gotten like half a dozen spam messages on friendster over the weekend as well.
google phrase of the day: "anal insertion of garlic"
hm. why? well, i guess garlic is good for you, but i would question the safety of inserting something as caustic as garlic into a soft, tissue-y membrane as the anus. wouldn't that burn like a mofo? people sure do have some weird notions. i read somewhere (i think it was wikipedia) that it's really dangerous to insert garlic anywhere in the body. so don't do it!
once, i ate a whole clove of raw garlic. man, that was a bad idea. it burned a hole in my stomach. ouchie! i didn't get any spicy dumps, but i had a stomachache for a few hours. like i said, i had three spicy dumps within two hours over the weekend, brought on by that extra-spicy chicken chipotle pasta i ordered saturday night at the prolific oven. it really hurt to walk afterwards. the third dump was at adam's house during the chargers/colts game, and i was worried that his toilet wouldn't flush down the sludge that i excreted. (his toilet had been broken in the past; remember that one time where i had to fish out the toilet paper?)
i'm still quite bummed out about the cowboys game. i mean, diana noted that i was literally sitting on the edge of the couch while i was watching. during dropped passes and stuff, i got up and paced around, fuming. the only positive (and there are very few) is that i can now watch NFL and not be stressed out about it, but still, it's an exciting stress that i'll miss and won't feel anymore for the rest of the season. sigh. btw, i got quite a few test msg's saying "sorry" after the game. thanks.
so the CD that i sent to k1 for her birthday last november arrived in my mail last friday. apparently, she doesn't live at that address anymore. hm. the address that i mailed it to was a year old, so maybe she had moved since then? anyways, i looked her up on stanfordalumni.org, and i sent it to her work address this morning. hopefully, this time it'll get to her. international priority mail costs $11!
one thing i never tried was taking a shower with my gf with the lights turned off. i've heard that it's very sensual, because you can't see, and you have to rely on feel. hm. that sounds pretty cool. it's like having sex with a blindfold on, something that i've done before (like once). all of your other senses are heightened, especially the sense of touch. it's very cool. well, the next time i get an opportunity to shower in the dark with a girl, i'm gonna do it. i just hope i don't walk into a wall or fall over and break the glass door or something.
i own a pair of police-issue handcuffs. (i've also give them to at least three people as gifts.) i've never had a chance to use them during sex, though. that is also something that is on my bedtime play to-do list. ideally, though, i should get two pairs, one for each hand. the problem, though, is that i sleep on a futon, and i don't have bedposts to handcuff the hands to. hm. did you know that i carry handcuff keys on my keychain? yup. so if i ever need to unlock myself or someone else, i'm able to do it.
i taped 60 minutes last night before i went to dinner, and after i got home, i watched the report on zuckerberg, the founder and CEO of facebook. he's only 23! man, so young to be a potential billionaire and leader of a massive company. i hope he is able to guide facebook successfully. at 23, i was in no way capable of doing something so lofty. good luck to him!
i am walking 95% normally now. my toe still hurts when i press on it, though. and i tried running a few steps today in the parking lot, and i couldn't do it. sigh. i'll give myself another week of recuperation before i see if i can play basketball again. sigh. it's good that jay and margaret's dog bit me instead of a stranger, because a stranger would probably sue them. they're planning on meeting up with me and giving me a gift. i'm guessing it's socks, since their dog tore a hole in mine when he bit me. :) it's good, i'm running low on socks anyway.
is alcohol supposed to impede sexual performance? does it affect anything? i don't know where i heard that from; maybe it's just a myth. otherwise, there wouldn't be so many drunken hookups and stuff. it definitely makes people horny, that's for sure. my lone one-night stand was due to being blitzed from way too much drinking. and one of my ex's would get super-horny when she was drunk, but more often than not, she would pass out before we actually got to do anything. too bad, for me, that is.
ok, man, i want to leave, but i got a meeting at 5pm. who schedules meetings so late in the day? that's just as bad as scheduling lunchtime meetings!
so friday night, nelson and i went over to mikeT's place to watch _fresh_, the movie i recommended he get on netflix. first, we ate some pizza, and then, we settled down to watch the movie. it was good, but still, like the first time when i watched it (back when it came out in the theaters in 1994), i didn't get parts of the intricate plot. i swear, though, i've seen the movie on tv since then, because i've seen some of the scenes before, and nelson said the same thing. afterwards, we played some guitar hero and this golfing game on the wii. the golf was fun, although i didn't play very well (i was playing left-handed).
saturday, barden came over, and we grabbed some lunch at ryowa. i think i like ryowa better than maruichi. then, we tried out yogurt fantasy, this new shop opened by an acquaintance of mine (i don't know her very well, but i've met her a few times). i tried the "tart" flavor, and it tasted mildly similar to pinkberry's original, but the texture was all wrong. barden remarked that since it was non-fat, maybe that's why it wasn't smooth, as fat gives the yogurt a smoother texture. maybe. and, i asked for the mochi topping, and the girl just gave me a blank stare. rats.
then, we watched the seahawks/packers game. the seahawks jumped out to a 14-0 lead in like 4 minutes, but then, the packers scored touchdowns in 6 straight possessions. hot damn! it was a blowout. i couldn't tell if barden was severely disappointed or not. it was a snowstorm in lambeau field, and it looked miserable out there in green bay.
then, i went over to nelson's place to watch the first half of the jags/patriots game. it was a very high quality game, with both qb's playing very well. i think there was only one incomplete pass during the entire first half. then, we met up with mikeC at prolific oven for some extra spicy chicken chipotle pasta, which totally wrecked me. (i took THREE spicy dumps the next day, which really burned up my sphincter.)
after dinner, we rushed back and caught the end of the 4th quarter at mikeC's place. the patriots won, so i called up jeremy and congratulated him. then, we went to mountain view and met up with paul, leeya and john for some tapioca.
sunday, i got up at 9:30 and headed over to adam's place to watch the chargers/colts game. it was a very good and exciting game. i was very happy for adam when his chargers won. i was slightly disappointed i wouldn't see a repeat of the colts/patriots rematch, and i hope that LT and rivers are ok so they can put up a good fight against the patriots. otherwise, they're going to be demolished. we'll see.
after that game, i rushed over up north to watch the giants/cowboys game with diana. that was where my heart was broken. the cowboys lost, and i was pretty devastated. sure, we didn't play our best: our special teams let us down, we had way too many penalties, we dropped crucial passes, and we tackled poorly, but still, we had a chance to win, and we didn't do it. *sigh* we were the first NFC #1 seed to ever lose in a 12-team playoff format. first the mavericks make playoff losing history, and now the cowboys. what a year for dallas teams disappointments. :(
it finally sank in later on in the night, and i just screaming out "FUCK" repeatedly at home and in the car. i got home and tore off my troy aikman jersey as i changed into civilian clothes. ugh. i am still bummed, and it'll take me some time to get over this loss. so for now, i'm rooting for a patriots/packers super bowl.
for dinner, i met up with some people at dusita. man, that place is good. we got a lot of spicy dishes, and it was yummy. after that, i just called it a night and watched _sportscenter_ and relived the dallas loss over and over. it was touching to see terrell owens cry.
it was definitely a football-filled weekend. i don't think i could do it again, as i'm pretty burnt out. oh, and to top it all off, stanford lost this weekend to oregon, and they've dropped out of the top 25. fuck.
