man, i have done some good work today, if i do say so myself. i can't tell if my findings will result in the chip working (the 1920x1200 panel fix), but i have at least found out the reason for my simulation hanging. i have been working off of a 2.5GB waveform dump, and it has been some fucking crazy shit, i tell you. it's been quite an adventure debugging something i know little about, digging into someone else's foreign code. but in the end, i figured out why my sim fails, and i am very proud of myself. *flex*
so for lunch, i ate very little carbs. and what do you know, i didn't get food coma today, for the first time in six lunches. william, oh, viet and i met up at sunny v cafe (it's a japanese restaurant, even though it doesn't sound like one), and i got the daily special: unagi don, tonkatsu, gyoza, salad, and miso soup. pretty tasty, for $9.95. i ate just a bit of rice, and most of the rest was protein. so when i got back, i didn't crash or anything, and i spent the next 3-4 hours straight debugging, taking little smoke breaks every hour or so. it was good that i went out for lunch, because i heard that the free lunch my company provided was crap, even though they had a taco bar and prime rib, among other things.
so i don't know if it's the reduction in meds or what, but i haven't been sleeping very well these past two days. i've cut my haldol and benztropine in half, and so far, my tics haven't increased noticeably. so i hope to continue this path, and i'm sure my mom (who is the one who urged me to do this) will be happy. if this goes well, then the next step will be to decrease my topamax. i wonder if this will bring back solid dumps. and i'm a little afraid of having solid poo again, because my sphincter has probably atrophied after well over a year of having diarrhea. passing that first log will probably tear my asshole apart. yikes!
so i am very pleased with the top 10 of _sytycd_. except for jessica, who i have no feelings for, and will, who i think is a brilliant technician with no personality, i like all of the 8 remaining dancers. they're all very cool people and wonderful dancers. but my reservation is that so far, there haven't been that many memorable routines. i am debating whether or not i will get tickets to the tour. yes, i know the show is only half over, so i am hoping that there will be some good numbers in the future. i think that one of the problems is that there have been no wade robson or shane sparks numbers; the show really misses their choreography.
so my chinese cubicle neighbor stopped by this morning and asked me to translate this phrase he had written down: "that guy needs some asbestos underwear big time." ha! i mean, i told him what it means, but i didn't quite understand the *context* of this phrase. can someone tell me in what situation you would say this? i did a google search of "asbestos underwear," and it seems like an old term. hm.
do you guys have problems peeing straight? today, at sunny v cafe, i had to go to the bathroom, and when my stream was strong, it went straight forward. but as it weakened, it started trailing off to the right, and it went so far right that it completely missed the toilet and went onto my shoe. damn. i was so upset with my schlong. as it started drifting, i even turned my body left, but even that wasn't enough. ugh. this is really frustrating. girls, be glad that you have to sit down to take a piss and not have to deal with this shit. if all toilets were clean, then i'd sit down all the time to avoid these situations.
the other day, i couldn't stop staring at this girl's chest. she was a skinny girl, and i guess you could say that her boobs were slightly large for her frame. she was wearing a baby-t, and it was kind of tight, so her chest was very prominent. it was very nice. i absolutely love that ripple in the t-shirt between the two mounds. ah, so sexy. motorboat!
hm. lots of people are leaving early today. two of my cubiclemates have gone home already. it's only 5:30! i'm still waiting for the apps guy to get out of his meeting so i can test out that fix i've been working on this afternoon.
i am so jealous of the current stanford taiko group. they just got back from touring china. i saw a few pictures of them playing on the great wall. fuck. we never got to go anywhere like that when i was playing with the group. but of course, their repertoire is way better than what we used to play, and their level of artistry is at a much higher standard. yes, i should be proud of laying the groundwork and foundation for where the group is today, but still, man, i would have loved to go where they have travelled (places like china and thailand and hawaii) these past few years.
i noticed that one person on facebook de-friended me. hm. one person out of 198. i doubt i'll ever figure out who he or she is. whoever you are, i'm sorry if i did anything wrong to you. :(
so far, i don't have many plans for this weekend. leeya just called a few minutes ago and wants to go to southland. i figure it'll be a low-key cheap belated birthday dinner for her. and i want to stop by the mountain view obon (it's like a japanese summer festival) this weekend to see my friends play taiko. that's about it.
i heard _hellboy 2_ is good. it looks beautiful (in a grotesque way) in its previews. and i do like selma blair. but i haven't seen the first one.
so what percentage (do you think) of women who buy the g-spot vibrator are actually able to find their g-spots?
back in college, i was interested in buying one of those fake vaginas. i was curious how they would feel. i mean, how close would a simulated vadge (i assume you have to apply lube to it) feel to a real love canal? that was my main question. but in the end, i never got one because i doubted it would feel any good. they have ones that are exact replicas of (i guess molded from) real porn stars. that's cool, i guess. i've seen on HBO how they do it, like they slap this molding material on the person's crotch and stuff. they do the same for guys, too, like they get the guy to pop a boner, and then they make a reverse mold of his schlong and all that. my question is how they keep him stiff while the material sets; i can't imagine that situation to be all that titillating.
ok, off to find that apps guy. i want to see if my fix works! have a STUPENDOUS weekend folks!
