so in last night's _american idol_, they went from over 150 kids to 40. there were lots of broken hearts and tears. i was really pulling for sarah burgess, this cute girl who lied to her unsupportive parents about trying out in the first place. there was also this brother/sister tandem, and the brother made it while the sister got cut. it was really touching to see their reactions upon finding out, and the brother consoling her sister. *tear* on a happier note, there was one performance by these four guys (with the beatbox dude) that was really rockin'. good job guys!
today, my boss was really riding me over this one task that i deemed too difficult a few months ago. it came up again, and he assigned it to another coworker, who finished it in a few days. i can't believe it. i guess it was just a lot easier than i thought it was, or she's a miracle worker. (or, i was just too fucking lazy, which is a strong possibility.) anyways, i gotta ask her how she did it, just in case it gets assigned to me again in another project.
so i saw my psych this morning. as a side thing, he's tracking my weight, and in the past 9 months, i've lost something like 23 pounds. pretty cool, huh? i should market myself as a weight loss program; it's all about portion control, and no exercise is needed! ha. anyways, i'm going up to 100mg of topamax twice a day, and if that doesn't help my tics, i'm going to ask to get off of it. hopefully that'll make my shit solid again. ah, i miss the days of solid dumps. no more soiling my underwear!
i wonder is sphincters tighten up after they haven't been stretched out in a long time. if that's true, then i'm in for a world of hurt when my solid dump comes. ouchie! for the past few months, i've only had tiny diarrhea shits, so i haven't needed to stretch my anus out at all. hm. i've heard that if you stretch out your asshole a lot, it loses its strength, so i wonder if the opposite is true. we shall see!
i wonder if i should change my hotel room (this weekend) to a smoking room. smoking indoors is such a foreign concept in the states, but it's sort of nice to be able to do it. when i was in japan back in 2001, i had a smoking room all to myself, so i would have naked smokes. now *that* was cool. i loved it. some might ask why i don't smoke in my house, but i don't like the way it stinks up the place, and plus, it's a fire hazard. but if it's a hotel, i'm fine with it.
ok, that's all from me today. time is nigh for a smoke.
