hey people. i had a shitty day at work. my AC verification is still hounding me, the next steps i need to take don't look easy, to put it mildly. i'm not looking forward to it. plus, we had a meeting about this feature we didn't put into to the next revision of our chip, and my boss sort of blamed me for letting it slip through the cracks. ugh.
is it too early to be looking forward to the weekend? saturday is going to be fun; i've already got three events lined up that day. i can't fucking wait, especially with how rotten today has been so far. *daydream*
no, i don't get happy endings with my massages. first of all, i can gratify myself just fine, thank you very much; no need to pay money for that kind of action. i go to this chinese acupuncture doctor for my massages, and i do so mainly for two reasons: one, my neck and shoulders get sore from my tics, so i need those muscles to get straightened out, and second, i don't tic during my massages, so they're like 30 minutes of relief when i can just lie there and relax, like a treat for myself.
it's funny how you find out about new relationships and engagements on facebook, sort of like official public announcements. last night, i discovered that one of the most attractive girls i know is now engaged. the first time i met her, i was taken aback by how pretty she was, and how tall she was (i think she's like 5'10" or so). she was going out with a guy i knew, so i didn't pursue her or anything. but i did manage to have lunch with her one-on-one a few months later. anyways, we lost touch, but yeah, now she's engaged. good for her. i will always remember being at a party in the city many years ago, and seeing her come in wearing a red strapless top, floating above all the shorter girls. it was a jaw-dropping sight.
my mom wants to live with me for 1-2 weeks in june. hm. while i would love to see her, i've got a few concerns. first, i think she'll be bored while i'm at work. second, i might be in hawaii for a few days during that time for susan and ray's wedding. third, what'll happen to my naked and porn-watching time? fourth, what about weekend time with my friends? questions abound. and, of course, i'll have to take her to church, and she might drag me to the services. ugh, that'll be uncomfortable.

we had a fire alarm test today at the office. so when the alarms went off, we had to take the stairs and assemble in the back parking lot. however, we have one employee who is in a wheelchair, and i'm pretty sure he works on the 2nd floor. how did he get downstairs? we're not supposed to use the elevators, so that got me thinking. i should have asked him, but i didn't get a chance to approach him. *ponder*
i get annoyed when movie previews use scenes that aren't actually used in the movie itself. this happened in _forgetting sarah marshall_, at least twice. does anyone feel the same way about this? i feel like it's all a big tease. (although, come to think of it, maybe those scenes were deleted? *shrug*)
man. sorry this is short, but i have to get out of the office. hopefully tomorrow will be better.
friday night, i got together with the college gang (alan, jeremy, jay) and some other folk for dinner at red lantern, this asian small plates restaurant in downtown redwood city. teddy and carol were in town, so that was the main impetus for this meeting. the food was decent, but one dish we didn't order that i really wanted to try was the duck samosas. maybe next time i'll get them. we met at 8:30, and stayed until past closing; we were the last table to leave.
saturday, paul, mikeC and i had a late lunch at la bamba (i just had lunch there with john and nelson the day before), and i ordered the same thing, so i was a bit sick of mexican food after that. afterwards, we went to five places (OSH, lowe's, home depot, another OSH, and target) looking for a storage bin for paul's BBQ. then, we went back to paul's place, where i watched the end to the lakers/nuggets game. after i went home, i watched the end to the celtics/hawks game. josh childress (stanford star) made this sweet block, but otherwise, he didn't really get to touch the ball. sadness.
oh, while i was at lowe's or home depot (i forget which), i had to take a major dump. when i sat down, this liquid gushed out of my ass. that got me worried, that i would have to take a dump somewhere where there wasn't a bathroom. *shiver*
for dinner, i called up grace, and i headed down to campbell and joined her, john and ann at the sonoma chicken coop. grace had 12 animals at her place! one of the dogs (julia) was really mean to me, but after i gave her some treats, she calmed down. how simple. i watched the end of the rockets/jazz game at her place (my third basketball game of the day). after catching a bit of sportscenter, i went home, called my parents, and went to bed.
sunday, i had dim sum with grace, john, mikeC, judy and edric at dynasty. after that, we got some pearl tea at ten ren, and i went home. i watched the suns/spurs game, took a nap, and then met up with my coworker D and watched _forgetting sarah marshall_. man, jason segel sure is brave for flashing his schlong at least three times in the movie. i thought the movie was good overall, but not as funny as i had hoped. of all the judd apatow-produced movies, i still think _superbad_ is the best.
after the movie, i went home, watched part of the mavericks/hornets game (i don't want to talk about it), and headed off to stanford for the stanford taiko song showcase, where they played all of their songs in this upcoming spring concert and solicited comments. a lot of alum were there, both old (like me) and young. the session took over three hours, and i was glad i went, because i feel like i understand their songs better. still, though, some of their songs need a lot more work, so i hope they can get it together in the next week.
overall, it was a good weekend. it sounds like i watched a lot of basketball, but honestly, i only watched bits and pieces. the weather was good, but i found it a bit too warm. like i told my friends, 75 degrees is about my upper limit.
