man, i have to go to work this weekend. it's the first time in years that i have to do so. sucks to be me, i guess. i have a meeting tomorrow (saturday) at 10:30am. *RAAR* we're in our final push to get an important chip out, and it's total crunch time now. sigh. i took this job with the promise of never having to work weekends. well, it's not so bad; one weekend out of four years isn't horrible, you know?
the worst thing is that i might miss dim sum tomorrow. grace, my yum cha partner in crime, is finally free (her mom leaves tomorrow), and we finally get to go. i just hope my meeting lets out at a reasonable time, so i can go get some lunch with her before coming back to hunker down and do some work. leek dumplings! turnip cake! i am really craving it right now.
hey, donating money to american idol ain't that bad. if they promise to give the money to the charities they claim to support, then it's for good causes. yes, it's through a cheesy show, but still, the thought is nice. by the way, i was surprised that michael johns was voted off, although i skimmed the headlines on yahoo news before i went home, and i already knew what was going to happen. i was totally rooting for scary-faced carly smithson to get booted.
i used to the word "cross" (as in, "i have to go to work tomorrow. i am very cross.") in an IM message to grace this afternoon. she laughed. what, is "cross" not a word that people use these days? or is it british or something? i was confused. :P
my diarrhea doesn't really splash around the toilet that much. but there are two points i'd like to make. first, there are usually some gassy bubbles that follow the liquid, and they sometimes burst around my asshole, which gets on my fingers when i wipe. like this morning, i got some on my hands, and it smelled kind of gross. (duh, fecal stuff smells nasty, right?) and second, the splashes may not reach the toilet seat, but i do have one small piece right now that bounced out of the water and onto the side of the bowl above the water line. i need to remember to clean it out sometime soon, before it hardens and starts molding.
what *does* bounce out of the water is puke. i guess when i throw up, the stuff comes out of my mouth with much more velocity than my diarrhea. it often splashes back onto my face and glasses. i have some remnants on the bottom of my toilet seat (yeah, i forgot to lift the seat) from the last time i yacked, which i think was greg's birthday party back in early february. damn, that was a drunken night.
so i sold my final fantasy VII playstation game to my ex-coworker friend. she's gonna give me something like $40 in store credit. really! i was really surprised that the game retained so much value. apparently there are a lot of FF fanatics out there who are collecting this game. the game comes on three discs, and i never even got past the first disc. i just got tired of all the fighting; it was like, i'd walk around the map for less than 10 seconds, and i'd have to fight again. the game, though, was beautiful, and it was groundbreaking for its time. i used a lot of the artwork as test images at my first company, and even now, on both computers (at work and at home), i use images from the game as my wallpaper.
i got home last night just in time to watch the mavericks clinch a playoff berth. yay! it was a crazy game (against the jazz). deron williams banked in a crazy 3-pointer with about 7 seconds left to tie the game, and then the mavs (with no timeouts left) drove down the court, and dirk swished a 3 with 0.9 seconds left to win the game. what a way to win. *phew* so now i'm happy. and golden state is in deep shit, with their loss to the nuggets last night. poor warriors.
is it possible for asian people to get dreadlocks?
i am the #1 google hit for the phrase "spicy dump." that makes me proud.
what is up with the old rick astley song? (it's called "never gonna give you up." come on, you know it.) so far, in the past week, three of my friends or online acquaintances have mentioned it. is it making a comeback or something? i admit, it's catchy, and i did like it when it came out way back when. but why the newfound hype? rick reminds me of my first gf's ex. i had a hard time getting over the idea that she loved/slept with him first. ah, young jealousy.
ok, have a good weekend, people.
