think, write, share

*yawn*

what a long day…

spent 12 hours at the office today, with some customers in town for a critical design review for one of my programs. everything went well, and the demo i had planned went off without a hitch. had dinner over attao tao, a mediocre chinese restaurant in Sunnyvale (in my opinion), but the favourite haunt of Patti, one of our customers. the food is bland in my opinion, but ya gotta keep the people who give you money happy! part two of the cdr is tomorrow, but it should only last 3-4 hours.

well, it’s off to bed…

There are things of which I may not speak;
There are dreams that cannot die;
There are thoughts that make the strong heart weak,
And bring a pallor into the cheek,
And a mist before the eye.
And the words of that fatal song
Come over me like a chill:
“A boy’s will is the wind’s will,
And the thoughts of youth are long, long thoughts.”
-Henry Wordsworth Longfellow

so the doc says that i need to make some minor changes to my diet, eating more fruits and vegetables, substituting my yogurt for a high-fiber cereal for breakfast and substituting whole wheat pasta and brown rice for the regular pasta and white rice.

so i went and bought some yummy cereal from TJ’s and some bananas as well (along with other foody stuffs). i grab a banana this morning, intending to eat it on my drive in to work only to discover it’s not there in my car when. it was in my shirt pocket when i put my shoes on and then it was gone. which only means one thing.

i’m going to come home to find mushy banana bits scattered throughout the house…

i hate daylight savings time

i’m a morning person. well, not really by choice, but by circumstance. don’t ask. anyways, it’s been nice the last week or so, with sunrise just about 6am, which means that my commute to work has not been one under the blanket of darkness. now with this stupid invention, it’s going to be dark again in the mornings. bah humbug!

white socks and black shoes. why, oh why, oh why? i’m an engineer and subsequently, am not the authority on fashion, but at least i know that you don’t wear white socks with black shoes. unless it’s a school uniform, it’s just wrong.

my sister is awesome. i’ll be seeing her in june down in san diego, so i’m excited. she’s going to be running some marathon down there, so my parents are flying out to watch and support her. she rules.

this weekend was one that i really needed. spent friday night with kristy and theresa, looking at paintings and acting like the cast of MST3K. never play guess the painter with kristy, cuz she’ll whoop yer ass. yesterday was all about the car. starting at 8.45am until probably 4.30pm, my day was consumed with my car. washing, waxing, cleaning, yadda, yadda. i did take breaks in between the various stages of the wax to plant some more vegetables and perform maintenance on the existing greenery. oh i long for a real garden.

well, it’s time to start on today’s festivities. peace out.

wow, i can’t believe it’s april already!

which of course means it’s april fool’s day, whose origin is not quite known for certain, tho i’ve read a bunch of plausible explanations. it also means that no web page is 100% trustworthy (as if they already weren’t) today.

i had my first comment deleted from someone’s weblog and subsequent reply to her “if you don’t like it, go away” response ignored. all because i exposed her for the flaming hypocrites that she is. but she did make changes to her entry, so that makes me feel better.

came across this today via a friend. with it came this reply. it really annoys the fuck outta me. you know that if it were any other racial group it would have never made it to print. and if it did, there would be a national outcry. but against asian? who the fuck cares. and that attitude makes me wanna bop some heads.

the house is finally beginning to stop looking like i’ve just moved in. cleared the last of the boxes in the living room this weekend and finally cleaned up all the loose papers and crap that was lying around in piles. need to clean both of the bathrooms this weekend and start putting away all the junk piled up in the game room.

and the car needs waxing…
