i met up with mia today for a belated birthday lunch. i was surprised to see her hair, which was dyed jet black. (black is her normal hair color, but ever since i've known her, she has bleached her hair.) i *loved* it! she has short hair, which i prefer on girls, and in that natural black color, it just looked really sexy. awesome. i almost swooned. :)
man, the stanford women got killed last night by tennessee. the lady vols swarmed us with their full court press, and we had well over 20 turnovers. it was really frustrating and depressing. (we lost by 16 points.) we looked lost and really vulnerable, and i kept waiting for us to solve the press, but alas, it just never happened. oh well. still, it was a good season for the women, and i am proud of them. and candice wiggins was the third player to get drafted in the WNBA. good job, candice! *claps*
i really dug jason castro's "somewhere over the rainbow" on last night's _american idol_. he did a version with a ukulele, and it was the same version that was featured on the wizard of oz episode of _scrubs_. i think i'm going to download it on itunes. btw, i voted for david cook twice and kristy lee cook twice as well. i really like the former, but he chose an awful song to sing, and i think most of america won't get it, thus he's going to be in real trouble tomorrow night. i'm hoping carly smithson gets voted out; she looks scary to me.
so tonight is the much-hyped _idol gives back_ extravaganza. they're hoping to raise over $100 million for charity. i might donate some money. i gave $100 to the red cross when hurricane katrina happened. it was the least i could do to help the unfortunate. i mean, i regularly donate $250-$350 to stanford university (in fact, i give money every time they call), and i do it without even much thought, so i really should give money to help the needy.
so the shocker today is that trent johnson (stanford men's head coach, and pac-10 coach of the year) took the job at LSU. what the fuck? why did he leave? there's a conspiracy theory that the athletic director secretly wanted him gone, but i don't know if i believe that. man, what terrible timing; if only mike montgomery had waited an extra week to take the cal job, or else he could have come back to coach stanford. that would have been awesome. now, we're in limbo. i'm very upset about this.
i wonder how it feels to have a widowed parent date someone else. like, my grandmother (mom's mom) passed away about 17 years ago, and my grandfather's got a girlfriend now. i was skype'ing my mom yesterday, and i mistakenly referred to the girlfriend as "chang tai-tai" (or wife chang), and my mom immediately and adamantly corrected me and told me call her "chang shao-jie" (or miss chang). i wonder how my grandfather's kids feel about miss chang. oh, and there's like a 20 to 30-year difference my grandpa and her. so maybe they think of her as a golddigger? if the same thing happened to my parents, i'm not sure how i would feel. on one hand, i wouldn't want my remaining parent to be lonely, but that new person would never replace my lost parent.
i worry about the state of my body when i get a little older. first, the smoking. second, the meds. third, my tics (bone spurs in my neck and sore muscles). fourth, my jaw. (when i yawn and open/close my mouth wide, my jaw makes a loud clicking sound.) and fifth, my bad diet. damn. my body is going to have a lot of problems in the future. i'm not looking forward to it. better make sure i have a good health insurance plan!
did i ever tell you guys about the time i ate half a bag of prunes? it was ridiculous. i actually really like prunes, but that time, i just overdid it. i spent the rest of the day on the toilet, with mucho diarrhea. insane, man. and there was a time when i ate half a costco-sized tub of gummy bears, and i got so sick i threw up in many colors of half-chewed gelatinous matter. i don't think i've had a gummy bear since then, although i still eat gummy worms, coke bottles and peach rings.
i wonder how many strands of female pubic hair i've ingested.
remember this picture i took a few years ago? yeah, those are mine. weird, because they look a bit reddish in tint. it's sort of weird how eyebrows and pubes (another other body hair) know when to stop growing. how do they do that?
ok, i'm off. gotta write some facebook messages.
