i worked really hard today. i started on my YLUT design, and i modified 10 of the 11 files that i needed to change. of course, the last one is the dooziest of them all; i don't need to modify it that much in terms of number of lines, but it's definitely the most "brainful" of them all. i'll save these last changes for monday. but i'm very pleased with my progress, and when i told my boss about it, he was very impressed. i love coding stuff that i understand, and when i am able to focus on my work, i am extremely productive and efficient. *flex*
so today is the last day with my mom. she flies out at 2:30pm tomorrow afternoon. i really want to introduce her to thai food, but i don't know if i'll have a chance to do that. i urged her to go to a church meeting tonight, partially because i feel like she hasn't had a good dose of jesus (since she was sick last weekend) lately, but also because i'm selfish and want to do something with my friends tonight. she probably didn't go, though, because she still has a cough and doesn't want to get anyone sick.
so i made it! three weeks with my mom, and nary a long aggravating conversation about her preaching the gospel to me. and no uncomfortable moments about her finding any porn in the house (or on my computer, for that matter). hiding the dvd's in the garage proved to be a good idea.
my ex-coworker O took a few of us to her uncle's thai restaurant in milpitas for lunch. the menu was really simple. they didn't have jun pad poo, red duck curry, or even pad see ew, to my disappointment. so i got this beef with chili dish, and the beef was overcooked and really tough. the food took a long time, as there was only one chef in the back making the food. hm. overall, i didn't think the place was worth going to again, but i didn't want to offend O. still, though, the food was probably better than the free lunch that my company provided; i looked on the menu in the cafeteria, and it was mainly salmon, which i don't normally like.
i think sarah palin is sort of hot. i watched part of the RNC last night, and she was wearing glasses and had her hair up (both attractive things). but that's about all the good things i can say about her, as far as the stuff i know about her so far. the fact that she could become the next president scares the bejeezus out of me.
i still haven't watched my recording of this past monday's _gossip girl_. i'll watch it after my mom leaves. the reason why i'm interested in seeing it is because leighton meester is in it. i think she's beautiful. however, i hear she's a total bitch in the show, which might color my view of her, and ting told me that she wears really old-fashioned ("audrey hepburn" was her wording) clothes. hm. well, i'll just have to see for myself.
since summer's winding down, i think i'm ready for the television season to start. show that i watch are _how i met your mother_, _scrubs_ and _the office_. that's not much. and of course, there's football. yay for football! i have high hopes for my cowboys this year, as some pundits are saying they're super bowl-bound. i hope that's not a jinx. but the cowboys are dangerously thin on wide receivers, so i will hope for an injury-free season. *crossed fingers*
at work, i'm transferring some of my responsibilities to some engineers in our branch in china. while that should be some weight off of my shoulders, i'm a little wary of it. basically, i don't trust their competence. what if the engineers fuck up? i'll have to hold their hands, and they're all the way across the planet. talking to them will be a pain, as it will have to be done over e-mail with a half-day delay, or over conference call with ridiculous hours, etc. i guess sometimes i'd just rather do stuff myself to make sure things are done right. ah, outsourcing and globalization.
i'm curious what "male enhancement" pills like enzyte and extenze do. the term is so vague. of course, i'm not going to fork over the money and try it out myself, and i just found a site now that says extenze is a scam. how do you begin to work on a pill that solves ED or makes a guy's schlong bigger or gives him more staying power? *ponder* anyways, i guess there's a big market for this, and that means there's a lot of unsatisfied women out there. poor girls. poor guys.
on the other hand, i think solutions that make the girl hornier (like zestra) are good ideas. the girl shouldn't have to depend solely on the guy to get them off. a girl should take matters into her own hands! yeah. although, i haven't seen ads for zestra recently; maybe i'm watching the wrong channels at night. i bet oxygen or lifetime air those ads.
ok, i'm taking off soon. i really want a smoke, and to put an end to this short workweek. boy, it's hot out there. but anyways, have a STUPENDOUS weekend, folks!
