so this morning, i had a dream about k1. we were back in school, and i had to find her to have her tutor me in some math class that i had missed. that was very odd, since *i* was the math/science whiz in real life, and she was totally not. (in fact, i don't even remember her taking any math class. and i was also the one who wrote her programs when she took a cheesy easy computer science class. she even dropped the "physics for poets" class!) anyways, it was an interesting dream, but i woke up to my alarm, and i couldn't get back in the dream again. rats.
it's been a frustrating day at work. i spent a good chunk of time digging into some code, looking for a bug or reason why our chip hangs given a certain programming parameter, but i eventually found something that seems to be the root cause. i showed my boss, since he was the one who wrote the code, and we filed a footprint in the issue tracker. i don't know what we're going to do about it though, because the fix is not easy. the code was also partially written by an ex-boyfriend of one of my friends, which i thought was amusing; his code is not as pretty as mine, haha.
last night, grace invited me to meet up with her volleyball pals at duke of edinburgh, this irish pub next to cupertino village. they finished around 9pm, so i was starving by the time i got there. i ordered the chicken/mushroom pie, which was tasteless aside from the pepper they added. i did get some whiskey though, which was good. i would like to go there again, namely to try two dishes: the french dip and the beef wellington. i hear about the wellington all the time on _hell's kitchen_, so i want to see what all the fuss is about. but anyways, i don't know if i'll join grace and her buds again; it's just too late for dinner, unless i eat a snack or something to tie me over.
so _american idol_ finally ends tonight. i feel bad for david cook. he got stuck with two choices by someone else for his first two songs, and they didn't quite fit him. oh well. i'm pretty sure archuleta's going to win. i did vote for cook twice last night after i came back from dinner. but man, a two hour finale? that's a lot of junk they're going to have as filler for a 10-second announcement. i'm not looking forward to it. but! _so you think you can dance_ begins tomorrow!
do you guys get weird sexual urges sometimes? when i was a kid (like early high schoolish), i was in the middle of a piano lesson, and all of a sudden, i had this irresistible compulsion to grab my teacher's boobs. (of course, i didn't.) but man, it was overwhelming. i mean, her chest was right there. you know, during piano lessons, the teacher would lean over and stuff to turn pages or to correct your hands, so the proximity of those breasts would be quite close. ah, my piano teacher. i wonder if she's still teaching.
one time, when i was elementary-school age, i was eating dinner, and i tapped my hand on my dad's crotch. he was very surprised, and then he got mad, like, "don't you ever touch my schlong again!" or something to that effect. haha. i don't know why i did it, either. it was just a random action on my part. maybe it was a tourettic spark in my mind.
so it looks like i'll be able to go to my friends' hawaii wedding. i was originally waffling on it because there was a chance my mom was going to be in town, but the wedding is going to be in late july instead of late june, as i had originally thought. hm. i'll have to consult my boss on this, though. we'll see. this wedding is in honolulu, which i think i would find more interesting than kona, as i have more of an affinity for cities. the wedding invite is pretty cool, and they're going to webcast their ceremony! (they're doing a small ceremony in vegas, and the hawaii thing is just the reception part.)
so my ex-coworker gave me some more examples of my quirky coding and documentation at my old company. for example, i had one module called the "deskew busmeister." and in some documentation, i said that one state machine would enter a state if it received a "glorious number of errors." "glorious," huh? how's that for quantitative? ha! :)
anybody got any good stock tips? since i sold off my COP shares yesterday, i'm looking for a place to put this money. if i make money out of your tip, i'll take you out for a meal!
i wonder how many non-asian readers i have. any of you out there care to leave me a comment? de-lurk! since i signed onto that online dating site yesterday, i've gotten some flirts and messages from some caucasian girls. i was sort of surprised. i thought white girls didn't care to date asian guys.
ok. 6pm. time for a cigarette. happy hump day!
