man, basketball was great today. i played well, which was very satisfying. my teams won all my games, i shot over 50%, and for my second game, my team blanked (and demolished) the other team (who had two good bigs) 7-0. we had phil, sathish, MJ, D, and i. we did everything well: passed, cut, shot the ball, and ran the fast break. the game was over before we even knew it. awesome. i say that i don't really care about winning, but it still feels good, especially because it means that we played well as a team. i felt so happy that i didn't even feel that tired afterwards, even though it was almost 2pm. hooray for good bball outings!
damn, i have a lot of work to do. every day, i'm working on something big. today, we had an hour-long meeting on this OD design and integration, and that's one of my next tasks. i'm not looking forward to it, because i have to change this one ugly complicated block (the pipe control) that i abhor touching. it's got some nasty twisted logic in it, and i have always resisted tampering with it. it took forever to verify, but this time, it's absolutely necessary that i go in there and add another stage to the pipeline. ugh. so yeah, i've been busy. and it's not going to stop until at least early/mid august.
why is grace such a popular asian name? is it almost always a religious name?
thanks jessica for the cell phone/shitting story! that was funny. i've dropped my keys in the toilet after taking a dump before. luckily, it wasn't diarrhea or anything, but just one or two very solid turds, so i was able to stick my hand in the water and fish the keys out without getting too much shit on myself. but man, when i dropped them, time seemed to slow down to a crawl; i was like, "nooooooo!" talk about panic. but in the end, it wasn't so bad. it never is, when you can wash your hands afterwards. plus, when it's your own shit, somehow it doesn't seem as horrible. why do we regard our own discharges/body parts as less gross?
have you guys had yellow kiwis before? last night, i ate two peaches and one kiwi in addition to the leftover jambalaya. when i cut open the kiwi, i was surprised to find out that it had a yellow flesh. also, i didn't taste as tart and sour; it was just bland and mushy. it also had much fewer seeds. hm. i don't know where the hell these fruits came from, but i'm not going to get them again. the only good thing about them is that at least they were organic.
so did you guys watch _sytycd_ last night? the switching up of the partners really did a number on some of the contestants. i think it hurt mark and kherington the most. they also got assigned some of the worst dances, so all in all, they fell flat on their faces. i think they're in trouble tonight. but man, will and katee! talk about a "dream team," as jay texted me last night. they were awesome. honestly, i think they were the only ones who could have pulled off that pas de deux. could you imagine gev or kherington doing that? comfort? ha! no, i didn't think so.
oh. weird thing. i was talking to a new guy at work today. well, he's not new, but he's visiting from the japan branch. we were smoking, and he introduced himself. after we finished smoking, we went upstairs, and when we parted ways, he gently laid his hand on my left ass cheek. yup! ASS CHEEK! it was very deliberate. it wasn't even like a sports-like macho ass slap, which i would still find odd. it was like a short, soft rub. i wasn't so much uncomfortable as i was stunned and confused.
at diana's birthday dinner, we were discussing import models like tila tequila, and kaila yu's name came up. i had never heard of her, so i looked her up. man, she's kinda nasty, too. (i do like her first name, though; starts with 'k', has 5 letters in it.) i looked at a few pictures of her, and through the thumbnails on google images, i gravitated towards one of her wearing glasses (go figure). but even in this one, she wasn't attractive, so damn, she really is a bit fugly. oh well, too bad.
my credit card bill for last month topped out over $3K. shit. i really need to go frugal for a while. of course, a lot of it was spent on my car (90K service, tires, tire service, smog stuff), but still, that's a lot of money. it will hurt to pay the bill off. i'm thinking about selling some of my loser stocks to lock in the capital losses and then buying them back in 30 days (to avoid the wash sale rules). i've never done that before, but i could use any financial break i can get.
ok. hm. i'm debating whether i should wait at the office for 20 minutes and get a free dinner or go out tonight. questions abound.
