irregular

i am no longer regular. taking my morning dump used to be a set routine. like, it was set in stone. i would go through a roll of toilet paper at home every two weeks or so. or less. but now, i’m averaging one dump every two days, and it’s almost never in the mornings. and sometimes they come at the most crucial of times, like when i’m driving somewhere or when a bathroom is hard to find. this past sunday, it came when i was shopping in safeway, and i had to ask where a toilet was, and while walking clear across the big expansive store, i almost crapped in my pants. it was a very dangerous experience.
i need to restart my morning dumps. i mean, the whole reason why i forced myself to become regular was so i wouldn’t get caught off guard with sudden dumpages. this is an old story, but it all happened when i was in downtown boston, walking around, and i suddenly needed to go. i wound up running into the women’s restroom in a mcdonald’s and making a fool out of myself when a girl walked in and looked at me like i was a madman. ugh.
so, this morning, after my morning smoke, i was about to drive off to work, but i turned around in my hallway and went into my bathroom. and i did the deed. it felt good. i think it was a good decision because i had some “matter” to excrete, and i had some errands to run before heading into the office, and had i been caught needing to do a #2 during, then i would have been screwed.
i am trying to decide if i want to go to the owl city concert or not. today, i listened to “vanilla twilight” several times, as well as some other of his songs. they’re not bad. tickets are still available through second-party vendors. anybody want to go with me? it’s an all-ages concert, so i bet there will be a lot of teenagers there. i would love to buy an owl city t-shirt.
we had two power outages at work today within the span of an hour. i don’t know what caused them, but it was a pain in the ass. luckily, i wasn’t running any simulations at the time, or else i would have had to restart them, thus being very pissed off. the outages only lasted for like 10 minutes or less, so we had to continue working.
i’m onto OMD on my iPod now. i listened to all of my oasis songs today. what’s coincidental is that my coworker V came into my cube and asked if i liked oasis just as i was listening to their music. jinx! i lent him my iPod so he could hear ryan adam’s version of “wonderwall.” what a haunting rendition. i think i first heard that on an episode of _the OC_.
so last night, i caught the middle hour of the two-hour episode of _the bachelor_. apparently, this one girl contestant roslyn was kicked off the show because she had a physical relationship with one of the crew/staff members. (the staffer was fired immediately as well.) some of the other girls saw her with him, too. and i’m wondering, how could she not know that the producers would discover this, and that she would get sent home? how stupid of her! anyways, i really like ali. she’s got a great face, and she just seems really nice and sweet.
i keep dropping my iPod when i move, and the cord pulls it off my desk. i hope the iPod is of sturdy construction.
i have a question for all you homeowners out there. i still haven’t gotten my mortgage coupon book yet. you know, the book of little pages that you send in each month with your mortgage check. have you guys received yours? when should i start getting worried and call in and ask for them to send another one? i don’t want to be late on my january payment.
damn, i’m hungry. i was supposed to have dinner at 10pm with the volleyball people (it’s a new season) tonight, but they’re not playing in mountain view, so i’m on my own for dinner tonight.
did i tell you guys that my new year’s resolution is to play more piano and get back to playing tennis and golf? i think another one will be to be more social. i want to reconnect with some friends that i keep meaning to talk to (i.e. hr girl, my elementary school best friend mark, etc.). i didn’t see hr girl for all of 2009, and she had a kid last year. 
and mark also had a baby last year, and i still haven’t seen her yet. babies galore!
i noticed on saturday that my brain operates very differently under stress. case in point: saturday, i told charlin that i could name the top 20 of SYTYCD for the past three seasons. so, char challenged me to do just that for season 6, this past season. and all of a sudden, my brain went blank. see? under pressure, i just started cracking. eventually, i was able to do it, but it was nowhere as easy as i had been able to do it, say, when i am in the shower and just rattling off the names like they were on the back of my hand. crazy what stress can do to you. i must learn to calm myself down in such situations.
well, speaking of those reality shows, american idol starts tonight. this is simon’s last season. the show will be ridiculously boring without him next year. i’m not really looking forward to this season. what is it, season NINE? how long can they keep this up?
ok. i’m done here. my stomach is cramping up due to hunger.
i don’t get mortgage coupons, but i pay my mortgage online. when is your mortgage payment due each month? i think mine is due on the 1st of each month, but there’s no penalty incurred unless payment is received after the 15th.
