saturday afternoon, greg, cheryl, john and i checked out this townhouse for sale. it was a nice place, but there were only two main things that i was concerned about. first, i checked if where the tv could be plugged into in the living room. and second, i looked to see if the shower could fit two people. ha!
showering with the girl is very important to me. it's sexy, innocent fun, and it's a required routine for me and my women. shower sex isn't necessary, and actually, it's kind of awkward and not very comfortable. water is a terrible lubricant, anyways. my first place out of college had a large shower, complete with a ledge for the girl to sit on. however, sex required that i do a really deep lunge, and my legs would get really tired. one time, it was taking me a really long time to get off, so i just pulled out and gave up. however, the girl demanded that i finish, so i reluctantly got down and went at it again until it was over. hrmph. :)
today's morning song: "pictures of you" by the last night goodnight. i actually don't like this song very much, so it was a bit annoying when i woke up with this song stuck in my head. oh well.
over the weekend, while surfing facebook, i found a girl whose profile picture was a photo of her in a bikini. that's pretty daring. but she had the body (and the boobs) to flaunt, so i was impressed. i mean, if i were buff and ripped and had 6-pack abs, i might be inclined to post a revealing picture of myself as well. anyways, she had a nice first name as well, so i decided to poke her. hehe.
i'm fucking starving right now. we're going to alexander's tonight for peter's birthday, so i decided to eat a light lunch. D and i went to A&J's, and i ordered an appetizer (wontons in hot oil, "hong you tzao sou"). it was pretty bad, actually, and *very* small. i was hungry by 3pm. i've been filling myself up with soda and V-8, but i don't think i'm gonna make it to the 8:30pm reservation. maybe i'll eat one of those asian pears that i have at home. i actually don't like alexander's, by the way. paul makes just as good a steak, and for way cheaper, too.
so A added me as a friend on facebook over the weekend. she's the girl that i went out with a few times back in 2004. however, she went back to a long-time ex of hers, and then, soon after, she stopped talking to me altogether. i was kind of upset by that, not because i still wanted to pursue her, but because it was just kind of rude. anyways, i'm glad she's doing well, but i'm not really that inclined to try to be pals again.
i had a dream last night/this morning that i was going to buy a piano. i was really excited. man, i really miss playing. and also, i feel guilty for taking lessons for 9 years and having nothing to show for it. throughout college, i still had memorized chopin's "revolutionary etude" and some other pieces, but now, they're long gone from my muscle memory. i can still read music, and i'd love to play again, so maybe i should get one of those electric pianos. music is a good hobby, and i am really grateful to my parents for paying for piano lessons and nagging me about practicing.
this morning was the first time in a while that i slept until my alarm went off. sleep felt really good, i guess. either that, or i had some really good dreams. aside from the piano dreams, i had another one where this guy was chasing me with these mini-beanbag grenades. i had to duck behind corners, waiting for the grenades to go off before i could start running again. it was sort of like playing super bomberman in real life (or dream life).
i miss good tex-mex food. left at alberquerque (where we had jimmy's birthday dinner) and chevy's just don't cut it. i want a place like pappasito's from back in dallas. a good carne asada steak fajita place (fucking awesome) would do the trick. *slurp* another thing that i miss is good bbq. the best reason to visit dallas would be for the food. plus, they have a fogo de chao (brazilian bbq) there, as well. that is some yummy shit. ok, i think i'm making myself hungrier. food is on my mind.
i finished WGC verification today. after M fixed some rounding code, the test finally passed. hoo-fucking-ray. however, i have a whole pile of working waiting for me, as it got assigned to me in an after-lunch meeting. shit. i guess it'll be good, because i don't have anything else to work on, but still, i'm not looking forward to it because our schedule for this next chip is *really* tight. ugh.
re: a girl asking me out. that's not a bad thing, not a bad thing at all. actually, it's quite sexy. i like proactive women. but the thing is, they gotta be attractive. that sherry girl at the club was pretty scary-looking. when i was in college and going out with the social chair of one of the asian american student association, i actually made a suggestion that one of their semi-formals be sadie hawkins. and she took my suggestion! so yeah, i have no problems with women asking men out. :)
anyways, i'm gonna go home now. rain rain, go away!
friday night, john and i went to beard papa's! the verdict? disappointing. first, the cream puffs were expensive: $1.95 for one. they were decent-sized, and the cream filling was good. the the puff part wasn't very good. they were pre-made, not warm or anything. i was hoping that they'd be fresh out of the oven or something. oh well. maybe i need a second try, like i did with pinkberry.
after that, we walked over to wahoo's, grabbed some takeout, and went back to his place to watch the warriors/bulls game, which was pretty exciting. then, we went to paul's place to hang out for a bit before i went home.
saturday, i picked up john again, and we had lunch at st. john's for their half off burger special. we watched a bit of the australian open (federer vs. an unseeded opponent), where federer was taken to 5 sets. then, we went back to his place, hung out a bit, and i went home to take a nap while watching the duke/clemson bball game.
i met up some of the peeps at southland for dinner. afterwards, on the drive home, i got this huge stomachache. it was so bad that i thought i was going to pass out from the pain. i rushed into the house and took a huge dump. then, we watched the warriors/bucks game, where the warriors handed them a 20-point drubbing.
sunday, i went to jeremy's place to watch the patriots/chargers game. it was pretty tight; the chargers were limited to four field goals despite three red zone drives, and that was the difference. jack and his son anthony came later, and anthony and jeremy's daughter audrey played together. it was cute. it's funny what kids find interesting. there were so many toys in the house, but the kitchen set was what caught the kids' attention. they cooked up all sorts of goodies for us to eat (i.e. plastic food), and then, they ran up and down the hall with their roller luggage. cute!
jack and i left during halftime of the packers/giants game, and i rushed home to catch more of the game. i had to leave during the 4th quarter to go to jimmy's birthday dinner, and luckily i found the radio station that was broadcasting the game. i arrived to the restaurant to watch the rest of the game (with an order of jameson on the rocks), and i was so disappointed to see the giants win it with a lawrence tynes field goal in overtime. oh well. the packers offense was sputtering, and favre's interception sealed the deal. i gotta hand it to eli manning.
dinner was so-so. my ordered the chimichanga, and it was only okay. fiesta del mar's chimichanga kicks its ass. but it was good to see the gang there, and i hope jimmy had a good time. but it being a sunday, we didn't have an after party, and we couldn't get jimmy drunk. after we finished eating, we hung around in the parking lot for a little bit, and then i went to the airport to pick up nelson.
ah, so next week, there will be no football to watch. i'm actually a little glad; it'll be a nice rest for me. i think i'll plan a trip up to the city to see my taiko friend gina, and do some errands.
