so tonight's the night! the long-awaited SYTYCD tour. i'm leaving work early, just in case traffic's bad and parking is terrible. the dances i'm most eagerly anticipating all have katee in them: "no air," "mercy," and her pas de deux with will (i think it's david archuleta's "imagine"). it'll be good! i was telling graceL over IM, the tour is just like the television show, only with more energy because 1) it's live, and 2) the music is louder. yay!
basketball was ok today. i (and my teammates) found myself open for a change, and at one point, i knocked down four straight jumpers, the last three of which brought us back from a 4-6 deficit to win the game. i got high-fives from all of my teammates after that. but for some reason, i haven't been into playing this week. i think i've lost the passion for the game lately. i hope that's not the case, because i want to continue playing and liking it. it's my only form of exercise, so i need this.
man, i might be going to choi's yet again tomorrow for lunch. i don't want to, but it's a gathering of ex-coworkers that i haven't seen in a while. i went to choi's last friday, and again yesterday. that's three times in a week! i like korean food and all, and they do have that supremely tasty potato panchan dish. but i must say, i'm sort of getting sick of it.
i watched _knight rider_'s series premiere last night. it was sort of stupid. i did appreciate the gratuitous semi-nudity when the girl stripped down to her bra and panties, and i'm sort of curious about the main character's forgotten past, but that's about it. the show is silly and campy, but i guess that's the point? *shrug* i don't know if i'll be a faithful watcher. i don't want to follow too many shows, especially sub-par shows like this one.
mikeT and christi are going to italy next week. i think they'll have fun. i really enjoyed my visit there four years ago, despite the fact that i went with people i barely knew. they're not going to florence or venice, though; they're just spending a week in rome and cinque terre (the latter of which i've never been to). i told him to watch _roman holiday_, one of my all-time favorite movies, with two beautiful people, audrey hepburn and gregory peck. i've seen that movie on the big screen like two or three times at the stanford theater. wonderful film.
i'm eating a snickers bar right now because i'm not having dinner until after the show. so far, i've only had this and breakfast (sausage and egg biscuit at mcd's). my weight's been holding steady at 175ish. man, i really want to drop 10 pounds, but i don't have the discipline to do what i did when i went from 202 to 155 a few years ago. that involved eating a lot less and enduring the hunger pants that came with my crash diet. these days, i've been trying to eat a tiny bit of dinner at the office, but at night, sometimes i can't help but go out and get some more food at 10pm or so, which i know is really bad for me. ugh.
if you were in a long term relationship, but there were some fundamental things wrong, would you have the guts to end it and be single again? sometimes, you're just comfortable with things, and you are just resigned to being with that person because they're familiar. sometimes you just accept that there will be problems forever, and you tell yourself that it's just the way things are. would you be able to settle with that knowledge? i think it takes a great deal of guts to step away from that and say goodbye and enter the unknown life of singlehood again.
i had a dream last night where i was hanging out with this girl i've had a crush on for over a decade. imagine the disappointment i felt when i woke up and realized it was only a dream. sigh. her birthday is coming up, and it's the only time when i have a good excuse to e-mail her.
man. anybody who bought fannie mae stock a few weeks ago at their bottom would have quadrupled their money today. i, however, have lost about two thirds of my investment. :( such craziness is the stock market.
i'm wondering if the cute girl with glasses has started wearing contacts full-time or got lasik surgery. that is a bummer. she looked so good with glasses on. i think i (as well as most people) look better with glasses on, so if i had perfect vision, maybe i'd still wear some clear-lensed specs from time to time. but one thing i'd never get is contacts. i can't stand the thought of sticking something on my eyeball. *shivers* i'm really lucky my eyesight is good enough that i can play basketball without glasses. i'd have to get dorky kurt rambis sports goggles or something.
ok, time to wrap things up and head home to prep for the trek down to HP pavilion. SYTYCD time!
