this morning, on the way to work, i started playing with this big painful bump on the right side of my chin that i noticed last night. i started squeezing really hard, and then it gave way with a huge pop. then, i noticed that my fingers were covered in blood. awesome. i love popping zits. how gratifying! i squeezed out all the stuff that i could, and i licked away the blood, as i had no tissues in the car. it still hurts, but the bump is noticeably smaller now.
*sniff* kristy lee cook is gone. i will miss her and all her hotness. she's by far the most attractive AI contestant there has ever been, and i am a lot less compelled to watch the show now. (i will still watch it, though, but i'm just not as motivated to do so.) oh well. like sanjaya, she was the bottom performer for a long time, but she was scrappy and clawed her way out of the bottom three as much as she could, and it was just time for her to go. fare thee well, little miss hottie! now i wonder if i should get tickets for the tour just to see her. (btw, she recently got engaged. boo.)
last night, i met up with nelson and mikeC at st. john's for half off burgers. for once, i didn't get the "beg for mercy" (spicy) burger. i wanted to save my bowels from the pain, so i got the guaco-bacon burger. it was only ok. i guess i was used to eating something with a lot more taste. a couple of big gobs of guacamole fell onto my basket, so afterwards, i got a spoon and scooped it up and ate it plain. it was spicy! that was good. i don't think i've ever had spicy guac before, and now i'm a big fan of it. funny, i didn't notice its spiciness while i was eating the burger.
so my boss is in a much better mood today. the new verification guy was able to figure his stuff out, and now our tests are passing. *phew* disaster averted! we had a short status meeting, and when the new guy delivered his good news, i could see the cloud lifted over my boss's head. after the meeting, i passed by the conference room where he was working, and i said hi to him, and he responded, "hello my friend." ah, to be on good terms with him again.
does chewing gum wear down your teeth? i imagine that the constant chomping would result in a lot of friction and contact between your teeth, and that wouldn't be a good thing. i have a lot of wear on my bottom teeth, and they've gotten a lot shorter over the years. my dentist keeps asking me if i grind my teeth at night, which i don't think i do. he's warned me that getting them fixed will cost tens of thousands of dollars. that scares me. anyways, i'm chewing some gum right now (which i rarely do), and i'm just wondering if it's a good thing to do.
i got injured playing basketball today. it's not major or anything, but my right thumbnail got bent in a nasty way, and part of my nail has this painful purple spot underneath. it stung quite a bit, and i had to get a sub for that game. other than that, i made this sweet move today where i shot-faked my defender out of his shorts, dribbled past him, and then made a sweet floater over another defender. it felt really good.
there's this new guy who plays bball with us. i don't know what he's got underneath his shorts, but there's a pointy bulge where his schlong should be. it's sort of distracting. i haven't gotten a clear look at that bulge when he's running, so i can't tell if it's his actual thing (i would be able to tell if it sways) or a cup that he's wearing. anyways, just an observation. maybe i should punch him in the groin to find out? ha!
two movies i want to see that are opening this weekend: the jet li/jackie chan movie, and _forgetting sarah marshall_. i hope they're good, and that i can find somebody to go with me. for the latter film, i'm surprised they were able to show the fake blowjob/webcam scene in the previews on tv. yes, it's only suggestive, but still. i would find it hard to be a parent explaining why that's funny to my kid.
i'm excited for tomorrow's lunch. i'm going to get mongolian bbq! maybe i should starve myself tonight in anticipation for the grand outing. my not-so-secret simple recipe: three scoops soy sauce, two scoops garlic, and two scoops chili paste. result: pure mongolian bliss.
so at yul's informal engagement party, he was talking how CBS was going to do an "all winners" _survivor_ (as soon as richard hatch gets out of jail or something). i think that would be pretty awesome. the competition would be pretty tough, because it would be all very strong and crafty players. i would definitely watch that, especially if yul were on the show again.
ok, time for my 6pm smoke. ciao!
