boy, i almost pissed in my bed this morning. i had a dream where i was all about to take a leak, but i paused, and then, my friend amyM showed up and told me, "if you don't do it now, you'll have to wait 18 hours." so i thought, "that's a weird statement," and i was an odd enough reaction that it jolted me awake, and then i realized i was dreaming that whole thing. *phew* i was *this* close to wetting my bed!
so i got handed a big assignment at work today. unfortunately, i'm not done with my current assignment, so my boss is scheduling a 10am meeting (ugh) tomorrow to discuss what to do. he is pushing hard to get me started on my next task, and frankly, it looks tough. i'm not looking forward to it. it's a ton of math, which is boring, and it's not much creative design. and verifying it is going to be a nightmare. there will be a lot of rounding and clipping mismatches, i'm sure of it.
i had a quick dinner with alan and ting yesterday. it was nice to see them. they're so busy these days, since they're in the process of packing/moving into a new house and selling their current one. since they have open house on the weekends, they usually go to alan's mom's or sister's house on weekends, so i never get to see them then. their new house is up in redwood city, which is further away than they live now, so i wonder how often we'll get together after they move.
yes, ann, i've tried red mango, on the day they opened. it wasn't anything special. so far, i think i like pinkberry the best, although i only had it twice, and it was 6 months ago. maybe it was the novelty of it, *shrug*. but as far as taste goes, i like sweet corner (yogurt fantasy) second. i've been to fraiche two or three times, and i think they're ok, except they didn't have mochi; i've heard that they have it now. but downtown palo alto is too far for me to go to get yogurt, unless i'm already in the vicinity.
every time i get a haircut and wash my hair afterwards, i wind up getting a ton of dandruff. does this happen to anyone else? i think it might be because i scrub my head really hard to get all the stray hair out, and i wind up over-exfoliating my scalp. anyways, it's really annoying, and just a little gross.
i played very well in my first basketball game today. after missing my first two shots, i made all four of my subsequent jumpers afterwards. that felt really good. however, i must have shot my wad after that, because i played like crap in the next two games. i usually don't play basketball the week before i go out of town (for fear of injury), and today, my left knee and left foot gave me some problems; i had shooting pains in both parts. hm. i'm not sure what's going on here, but i hope it's not anything serious.
speaking of pain, last week, i had one episode when i was taking a leak where it really hurt. i mean, it STUNG like crazy. i think there may have been tiny stones in my piss or something. i had never felt anything like that before, and i just gutted it out. after that, i dreaded peeing the next few times, and i did it extra carefully. (you might ask, "how do you pee carefully?" i did it by controlling my kegel muscle and letting out a slow stream, sometimes a drop at a time.)
one of my friends went to a porn convention. i almost went to one myself, back in 2000 or so. i was at CES in las vegas, and AVN was being held down the street. i was so bored, and i considered taking a cab to AVN. however, i didn't want to get caught, so i didn't end up going. my friend said there wasn't anything that spectacular, though. i'm not sure what i'd get excited about if i went to a porn convention. i don't even think there are that many hot porn stars. i mean, i think kobe tai gives great blowjobs, but i don't think that's particularly attractive. i think lexus has a good face (but nasty fake boobs), and i liked madison back in the early 90's before she (allegedly, i never saw her later movies) got all dominatrix-y.
speaking of porn, i am officially tired and bored of my tekoki videos. no more straight handjobs for me. i'm switching back to my old (normal) stuff.
i'm meeting up with adam, rae and william tonight for dinner, which means i might miss part of _the moment of truth_. good riddance. i'm tired of this show overhyping itself.
ok, gonna head off to dinner soon. one more workday left!
