ugh, grunt work. my fellow engineer came up with a scheme that involved modifying one line of my code which made all 100+ tests backward compatible, but i wasn't comfortable that it would work (although i couldn't explain why), so in the end, i made the executive decision to not implement it. so as a result, i was assigned the arduous task of going through each and every one of those tests and checking if they needed changes to be able to run. not a fun task, if that's not obvious enough. so far, i'm 75% done. it has NOT been a fun afternoon.
basketball was not enjoyable for me today. the opposing team played man (as opposed to zone) defense today, so even though they stuck a short guy on me, i was completely shut down. i think i made like two baskets, both fast break layups. i even got blocked once by this short dude, which was massively humiliating. it was really hot and stuffy at city beach, so at least i got a good sweat going from running up and down the court. but i didn't score much, so i wasn't very pleased with my game.
man, i got bombed with comment spam this morning. it's the worst i've gotten in a long time. yeah, i should switch to wordpress, but i'm just too lazy. this blog is due for a makeover some time, and my webhosting service wants to switch me to a new server as well in the near future. the thing is, they won't give me SSH access when they do, am i'm like, WTF? how the hell am i supposed to do stuff without SSH? they're just being cheap bastards.
last night, when i got bored of watching olympic beach volleyball (which i don't like anyway), i went to tap-ex and got some yogurt green tea with pearls and pepper crispy chicken. that chicken is some tasty shit. i got a 3 (out of 5) on the spicy scale, and it was really good. i don't think i'll ever get a 5 again. 5 means that each piece of chicken is completely coated with red chili powder, and when i had it, by the time i finished, my eyes were completely glazed over with tears. it wasn't nearly as spicy as the spiciest food i've eaten, but it was painful enough.
why do we get zits on our asses? i don't think ass skin is very oily. or am i wrong? last weekend, when i was laying in bed, i felt around, and i discovered two painful lumps on my butt. i squeezed one of them until i felt it give; ah, popping zits is so satisfying! and i've noticed in some porn videos that some girls have quite a lot of round red blemishes on their asses. hm. maybe they should use some proactive solution there.
i've completely neglected getting massages. today's thursday, and i usually get a massage every other thursday. i guess it's too late to call my masseuse today, so maybe i'll call friday and get one tomorrow. it'll be a treat to myself for getting through those 100+ tests, and a nice relaxing moment before my mom arrives and drives me nuts.
yes, i will remember to hide my porn in the garage. behind some boxes. or maybe inside them, even!
a friend of mine forwarded me a news article about how some couples have never consummated their marriage. reasons include anything from erectile dysfunction to intense shame to sexual ignorance to vulvodynia (intense pain from touching of the female genitalia). man, that's sad. marriage without sex? any relationship without sex? luckily, although a lot of couples don't know about it, there are therapists that can help people work through issues. i've often wondered how two virgins on their wedding night figure out what to do with their bodies. better to try it beforehand to see if there are any issues, methinks.
i once read an article about an indian woman who conceived without ever having sex. basically, what happened was that her husband masturbated onto a surface, and she scooped the spunk into her vagina. that just blew my mind.
anyway, i gotta go soon. i'm taking D to the airport. he's going to catalina island! i hope he has a good time there, as this is one of his very rare vacations. he's coming back on wednesday morning. i'm gonna miss hanging out in his cube and having lunch with him for the next few days.
