so this morning, i quickly whipped up a C program to convert a 30-bit concatenated text YUV pixel dump (with markers) into 8-bit separated Y, U, and V binary files. it was fun. i don't get to write software code very often, and i sort of miss it. i have to say that writing software is a bit more fun than writing hardware code, because it's more powerful and efficient; you get more punch per line. yeah, i should have gone the software route, i guess; there's more versatility and range of applications. hardware code is pretty much the same wherever you go, no matter whether it's graphics or networking, etc. i've had engineering friends who switched from hardware to software, and one thing they've said is that software is easier. hm. if it's easier, AND it's more fun, i wonder if it's not too late for me to change, too. remember when i wanted to quit my job and work for facebook?
yes, legs wrapped around you is very nice, too. i agree, it's a very big turn-on. one thing, though, is that the girl needs have legs long enough to do that; if she's too short, or you're too fat, then it doesn't quite work. also, when she closes her legs like that, then you can't penetrate as deeply as you can when she's got them spread wide open in the air. but yes, nice point.
i don't mind my readers pointing me towards interesting porn sites. however, i wouldn't open them at work, and my old computer at home (like a 7-8 year old iMac) can't handle videos very well. but if you're got something intriguing (no 2 girls 1 cup or pain olympics, please, for the love of god) to show me, then i'm all ears (and eyes). thanks! :)
so the cajun restaurant i went to last night (roux louisiana kitchen in santana row) was decent. one thing, though, that pissed me off was that a jameson on the rocks cost me $11 (including a $1 tip). damn, that's an expensive whiskey. the bartender gave me $5 too much back, and i was tempted to keep it, but my good scruples got the better of me, and i gave it back to him. the fried okra ($8) was tasty, and it was interesting because they cut the okra lengthwise, which was very unusual. the gumbo was good, and i was so full by the time my entree (jambalaya, $14) arrived that i ate a few bites and took the rest home. i'll be eating it for dinner tonight while watching _sytycd_.
while i was driving to santana row last night, i felt a crunch in my right ear. so i stuck my right pinky in there, and i felt some pieces of stuff in the canal. i picked out FOUR pieces of earwax. ah, the joy. they were very waxy and malleable, and they smelled awesome. (no, i did not eat them. i have never eaten my earwax.) i swear, i have overactive sebaceous glands. i do worry, though, that i am at the mercy of my ears. i want to pick out the stuff at my own will, but of course, this can never happen. i have some dissolving liquid from jay (after all, he has an ENT background), but i don't have anything to scrape out the stuff after i dissolve the stuff. oh wait. greg gave me a little poker stick thingie. hm. maybe i can try using that. but my nightmare is that i'll have all this gunk in my ear, and i won't be able to get it out.
tomorrow, we might have some pretty bad basketball players join us. i mean, these guys are like first-timers, with no experience. i don't mind this, but i wonder how the more competitive guys will take it. i hate competitive people who bitch and moan and complain and only care about winning. i mean, i enjoy winning, but i don't mind when i lose. these people yell at you when you make a bad pass, force up a bad shot, etc. why do people get like that? sports should be enjoyable, you know?
man, wells fargo stock jumped up 30% today, from $20 to $26. crazy, especially in this down market. i wish one of my stocks would do that. it would make me smile, which would be rare, given that my stocks are all in the shitter. at least the market went up a bit today; i gained back $2K in my portfolio, but of course, i'm way down overall. ok, yes, i'm looking long term, right?
i think my stomach's expanding. even after a large meal, i find myself getting hungry a few hours later. this is not good for me. last night, i weighed in at my heaviest in many months (>175lbs). RATS. i need to go on a diet again. it's not going to be easy, though, because i hate feeling hungry, especially when i go to bed. oh, and i need to tackle the fruit i bought this weekend. so far, i haven't even touched the kiwis, peaches and apples that i bought.
i'm already looking forward to the weekend. saturday, alan and ting are hosting a bbq at their new house (it'll be my first time there), and sunday is the mountain view obon (the one i thought was this past weekend), and friday night, edric and i might go see _hellboy 2_. and monday, i've already got lunch (william and charles) and dinner (jennie) plans. yay for being social!
today, on singlesnet, i got a flirt from a girl who was african-american and 4'5". first, i have never considered dating a girl who was black, and nor have i ever considered dating a girl that short. i mean, 4'5"? that is pretty ludicrous. would i have to get on my knees to kiss her? how would sex work? so i filed away the message, and i doubt i'll do anything about it.
speaking of height, i still haven't heard back from that 5'7" girl from eharmony yet. maybe she will never respond. too bad. she accepted the fasttrack request, so now we're on open communication status. i wrote her a quick message, but so far, it's been 2-3 days. we'll see.
i want to talk to that cute (but fobby) girl that's new at our office. any ideas on how to initiate conversation? (she's not in my department.) and coincidentally, tomorrow we're having a sexual harassment lecture, so i better be careful about what i say in case i do ever talk to her. i don't want to get fired and sued, you know?
i talked to I, the new guy here. he was in the cal marching band. he was actually in the performance where the band did all those video games! awesome. he said that they use a computer program to simulate all the performers to see if they'll run into each other and stuff. awesome. they practice every day for two hours. crazy dedication and commitment, man. i am impressed.
ok. past 6pm. i want to smoke and get out of here. i'm almost done verifying the reverse scan thing i implemented. i've done some good work these past few days at the office. *huzzah*
