not much to say today.
basketball was so-so. i played one 4-on-4 game and one 5-on-5 game, and that was it. i wasn’t too winded or anything, but i just felt lazy and didn’t feel like playing anymore, so i left. i really need to take lessons (is there such a thing?) and learn some basic fundamentals of reading defenses and moving more without the basketball. a lot of times, i just stand there, hoping the ball handler will pass me the ball so i can shoot it. that’s not such a great strategy. i need to learn how to cut and roll off screens and stuff like that. and i could learn some post moves, too. who wants to coach me?
last night, i met up with tim for dinner, and i introduced him to barn thai. of course, i got the jun pad poo (medium plus spiciness), and he got the pad kee mao. that made it two spicy meals in a row (remember i had mongolian bbq for lunch, and i put in 1.5 scoops of chili paste), and my ass paid for it. i had a crackly, fiery dump after i got home, and today, my morning dump also hurt my sphincter. it seems like my GI tract can’t spicy food anymore. (i haven’t had a “beg for mercy” burger at st. john’s in a while for fear of the pain that i’ll suffer afterward, for example.)
last night, after watching another boring episode of AI, i checked out _manswers_ again. the two things i learned were that redheads (statistically) have the most sex (over 2.something a week), more than blondes (1.7X a week) and brunettes (1.6X or so), and that a man’s refractory period (the time it takes between orgasm and the next time he can pop a boner) is about 19 minutes. however, if a man takes this certain drug that blocks this chemical that’s keeping his dopamine from flowing, that refractory period can be cut down to 8.5 minutes. how informative is this show!
i think, one time i demonstrated to myself that my refractory period was much less than 19 minutes. i think i must have been super horny or something. just an FYI.
i have always been curious about tantric sex. i’m not sure what all the details are about. i think it has to do with separating the orgasm part from the ejaculation (spasming) part. i know woody harrelson practices it. but it all seems quite intriguing, something about having an orgasm that lasts for minutes. wouldn’t that be something.
the winter finale of _fringe_ is tonight. the previews show that all hell breaks loose, as the two universes collide. interesting. i’m happy that the show is going on hiatus, because it hasn’t been that good. the only great episode so far this season was the one with the death of one of the observers. ho hum.
i saw a plasma tv at fry’s last night that was thinner than an LED tv. however, one problem was that the screen ran very hot. do plasma’s have problems with overheating? man, tv’s have gotten so much cheaper these days. i paid over $2,000 for my 40″ sony XBR2, and now, you can get over 50″ tv’s for much less. i would love to upgrade my television, but what would i do with my old one? it would be overkill to put it in my bedroom, and it would hurt to sell it for dirt cheap on craigslist. but damn, the new ones sure look nice and big.
i might be going up to the city for a party this saturday. my friend aileen is celebrating her birthday at a lounge. the party starts at 10pm. hehe. i’m trying to convince some friends to go, but not many of my friends would go to a party that starts that late. my friends are all getting old. if everything works out, then i won’t have to drive, and then i can DRINK. we’ll see.
i have my physical tomorrow morning. i haven’t had one in like three years. i’m sort of anxious about it, afraid of what nasty conditions i might have developed in these past three years. but i feel fine. let’s hope for the best. i have some important issues to discuss with my doctor. i’ll fill you in when i write tomorrow.
i miss jennie. i’m going to ask her if she wants to meet up at aileen’s party on saturday. i can’t believe i haven’t seen her in three months. her car recently got stolen, and she got it back yesterday. what a hassle!
speaking of that, i really need to clean out my car and remove most of my belongings. my trunk is a disaster; i have so much shit in there. if my car ever got stolen, i’d be heartbroken. gone would be my $450 oakley juliets, $300 sports goggles, my GPS, my basketball, a ton of CD’s, some clothes, etc. i really need to minimize the number of belongings i keep in my car.
ok, that’s it for me today. i’m going to have dinner with adam.
