Catching up

Last two days:
Sunday:
Ate one super meal comprised of one large, large rack of bbq baby back ribs, fries, onion soup, baked beans, calamari, fried onions, and small parts of meals that other people didn't eat: some steak, some caesar salad, some garden salad, and two forkfuls of strawberry and blueberry shortcake.

I snacked on fruit at night.

Monday:
one boiled egg
balogna and havarati cheese double decker sandwich with lettuce, tomato, and mayo
peach
a beer and 8 warm buns (it was fun to eat them, though I kinda melted 'em)
1/3 gallon of pink lemonade

BOOOM!

Lunch breaks!
in the vein of everone blogging about google:

google wins because it's fast and ridiculously simple looking

gmail wins because you never need to delete/move anything ==> not good for paranoid techy people, but good for the same reason anyone ever needs a 40gb Ipod. people don't want to deal with maintenance.

I'm pretty sure a girl at work is making "eyes" at me... but i don't know what that means :-/... oh well.

Need to get better at Judo... need to get stronger and smarter with motions. Strength just feels tapped all the time, maybe I'll sleep a lot more. I'm thinking very seriously about going to Cape Cod, just to sleep late and wander around outside. ROOOAAAR!!!!! LAZY BOY!!!!!!

Also thinking of staying here over the weekend. Yum!

recent thought of the recentness: Sasha as a secret agent? GOD DAMN! (post-Bourne identity re-watching) I couldn't do it now, but maybe if I trained a little.... lalala see Raven from "Snowcrash." Thus: It would be nice... but I'll never be the most bad-assed.

Well... Ima keep eating now. ROAR!!!! MUNCH!

something something falling behind

two days ago (Friday):
Blueberry Muffin
Ham-Del Twister
2 Lamb chops
Borscht w/boiled egg, cucumber, beets, sour cream, onions... probably that's all.

Yesterday:
Pancakes and Canteloupe
5 Lamb chops
2 Plums (they're little)
2 drumsticks
some shrimp
buncha bbq chips
buncha tortillas and salsa
screwdriver
3 natural Light
2 'large' shots jim beam (<---- NOT JIM BEAN?!?!? WTF?!?!?!)

Important thing I learned: Self-importance and pride and 'stiffness of character' come across as stupidity to me. I met some woman who sounded like the biggest self-important jackass idiot at some russian party. She actually has a Ph.D in Math. I feel that she's probably not dumb, just not someone I'd enjoy hanging out with. I get the impression that even drunk, at a party, with some clueless younger guy staring at her with respect she could totally not loosen up. She seemed to have no sense of humor except when laughing at one of her 'jokes.' She was trying to impress everyone with her life experiences and her philosophy, but she just sounded like someone really self-important with no real reason to be.
I'm not sure if it's like this for everyone, but when people try really hard to appear: rich, smart, important, better than me; they seem not like the thing they are attempting to appear to be, but rather as if they don't have this trait they desire, and are attempting to make up for it.

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!

Jabberwocky

awesome poem..... though I'm not sure if it's called Jabberwock or Jabberwocky... (it's a small part of "Looking Glass" I think).

FOOD:
West End Burger (guacamole, cheese) w/fries
nutri-grain bar
Lasagna
cookies
tried a cup of 'punch'
6 Natural Lights (maybe 5, maybe 7)

Also after spending all night trying to convince Eunji's friend that "now" is shirtless o'clock for all "now" my karma may be hurting. Plus only two of Eunji's non-Columbia friends took of their shirts and they were both guys. Her friends seemed to be having fun, though I'm not sure if I was being entertainment only to a few people and annoying to others. Also I think I pissed Eunji off... Maybe I'll make her cake. Then I will have to make two cakes total if I make one for Amanda in exchange for counting crows and cake CDs. I could use cake suggestions. I only know kinda how to make brownies and kinda how to make truffle cake. truffle cake is awesome though. Maybe I'll learn how to make pie.

Maybe I'll go to synagogue tomorrow to try to get karma back to zero. I wonder if that works...

Website has progressed a little. It's nice. I have to call Virgin today. (the airline).

Had beer with stoops, kelsey, and tao last night. I really like Stoops' easy-going find everything funny (or laughing at some obscure simpsons reference) manner. Ruggles is going to again be a place where I spend a lot of my time next year.

For the first time ever i have reminder notes in my phone every weekday this week, which is troubling only in that today I may not have time to eat until 6... and I like eating very much.

Yesterday:
Blueberry Muffin
granola bar
2 slices of peperoni pizza
2 slices of sausage pizza
1 Harpoon Summer
1 Pabst

I feel like I ate more, but I don't remember.
Also I'm going to be late for work, so I will leave.... NOW

mmmmm food

Yesterday I ate:

2 slices of banana
glass of milk
1 bagel with cream cheese
granola bar
peach
116th street man chicken sandwich
yo buffalo wrap
multi-grain raspberry fruit bar
pear

in other news Ani made a fireball trying to put out someone else's tempura fire in Schapiro 8's lounge (totally not his fault, valiant effort, yada yada yada, still funny).

Within minutes of the fire department leaving people began writing in the soot with their fingers in Russian: "Penis" "Penis all bitches" and some word (I had to look it up) that means "loser" or "sucker" ....
I hate those jack-asses with passion... it's not funny, or clever to write swears out of context on walls. 'tis even worse when the swear words come in phrases like "penis all bitches" !!!! WHAT THE FUCK DOES THAT MEAN?!?!?!

Judo was ridiculously awesome last night. I got schooled on the mat by Francisco, a white belt who has also studied Ju-Jitsu, so I got all kinds of choked. In return, I schooled him standing which for me is an odd experience, because usually I am a lot stronger on the mat. Also we learned arm-bars which was exciting and painful. I did really well against Ani standing, which was an odd feeling, it might be just because he wasn't in class on Wed. (i.e. his break has been two months and then a week, while mine has been two months)...

After getting psyched from Judo.. Went back to play poker (I had lost $5 right before leaving for Judo). I bought in and Ani and I just started pushing people around (somehow people were scared when Ani kept buying the blinds) Finally Ani's aggressiveness caught up to him, we had a showdown (he was all in) and I took him out. I made a bunch of lucky plays winning three or so hands I should have lost by pretty wide margins. Anyway, I ended up beating Jon with Kowboys when he went all in. Then this beligerent drunk guy wanted to buy in and go head to head. We played for a while, I stole blinds and small bets and he went all in and made his money back (bought in for $10 and he had about $9.50) and I asked him, "I'm ready to get to sleep, are you sure you want to keep playing?" "Yeah, let's keep going" "Ok, I'll finish at 1 am" (it was 12:15 or so). We played and he kept losing. He got really mad when I bet 'incorrectly.' I learned about stringing bets and such, but he screamingly insisted that there was only one right way to play poker and that I was doing it wrong. Anyway I finally beat his pocket jacks with my Queen-8 (3 queens) to take all of his money. It was almost 1 (12 fifty-something) and I wanted to leave, but he got mad again and then finally shook my hand, took his Hookah and left.

I was up around $50 for the night. I may not get invited to play poker anymore.

lalala

Yesterday:
Beef and Zuchini and onions with cauliflower and garlic.
2 glasses chocolate milk
3 buffalo wings (I made 'em on my own, they're really easy to make and end up costing ~$16 for ~50 wings).
bowl of salad w/light caesar dressing, croutons
two servings mom's russian-y salad (the one w/out beets)
steak and a half
buncha' blueberries
2 glasses vermont cherry wine ('twas really sweet... like sugar)


Now I must debate: do I gain 10 pounds of pure power?
The Judo weight classes are at: 161 (or 162) and 178 and right now I weigh 166-7, though during school I weighed closer to 163-4. If I start lifting, I should get stronger, but it might also make me look big, which I'd rather not. hmmmmmm..... but I'd not get too much bigger because I'd hopefully just run all of the fat down and just gain around 10 pounds mostly in chest, arms, legs which wouldn't look too bad.
eh... guess I'm pretty much decided on working out anyway, so i'll just see how strong/big I get.

One other cool thing about Judo (besides the obvious coolnes of flipping people over your back, and then chocking them unconscious or breaking their arm) is that I'm a lot less scared of laying out. I fall >40 times in two hours at high speeds in many directions and it doesn't hurt much at all. My body just seems to be getting harder, and more able to absorb punishment. w00t

I've recently started wasting time with neopets again. There's this funny turn based strategy game called 'invasion of Meridell' where one is limited to 5 units who level up and get items, and also limited to 5 actions/turn and each unit is limited in their number of actions (either 4,2, or 1/ turn). The enemies are all much stronger, but behave in obvious ways. I'm not sure if I have the game 'beaten' strategically, but I'm pretty sure that I'm really close. Sometimes I make the same sort of tactical mistakes I do in every game: poker, chess, WC3 where I ignore something/someone important or assume something is stronger/weaker than it actually is... and that's about all that fucks me. I've gotten a lot better at it in poker (though Thrusday night I watched the TV and the cards on the board instead of Lah and just gave him 2 or 3 dollars, so I'm not quite where I need to be) and I hope it carries over to all sorts of other things as well.

.php and sql are going well, I just need a place to write things and test them. Cunix's Web-server doesn't seem to have php enabled, though I'm not sure that that is true, since Cunix can interpret php commands. maybe I'll ask someone who knows... or maybe someone who knows will read my blog and tell me.

Breakfast and then BBQ tony and marsha are back

Yesterday (cont.)
Deluxe Burger w/Swiss cheese, lettuce, tomato, Avocado and fries, pickle and cole-slaw
Medium Cup of Non-Fat Strawberry Fro-Yo <----- edit
some Bulgogi + Rice
2 slices peperoni pizza
Lots of milk (6 small plastic cups)
one small plastic cup of OJ
handful of honey-roasted peanuts.

Also, I helped Vanessa carry up her AC which was really nice for the rest of the yesterday as the weather tended to stay around 95 for most of the day. I carried it up most of the way with Vanessa, but I ran up the last flight of stairs on my own... As soon as I got to Vanessa's room I realized that in the time it took me to climb the stairs, my hair had become sweat-soaked. SOOOOO HOT!

I played Judo, but there were only three people: Frank, Liat, and me... Liat is small, a beginner, and a lady, thus making it much harder for me to play hard, but against Frank I learned much. Cool new tripping thoughts and a new Osoto-Gari idea.

mmmmmmm. yum. Fighting.

List:
Read Work for Huh
E-mail Furda
Call Virgin Atlantic
Learn PHP/SQL for site
run/work-out.

Game on.

Yesterday (cont.)
Pizza:
2 slices peperoni
2 slices sausage

1 cup wonton soup

Today
1 blueberry Muffin

In other news...

It was not at weird to stay at Vanessa's, but I fear that Andrew may have been a bit bothered. He seemed a lot more comfortable in the morning, but it may just have been because it was the morning and he had to get to work/in a rush.

Oh well.

Also, definitely thinking less about girls since seeing Christina this weekend (christina == first Exeter girl-friend). Not sure what that means yet, but I'm so busy this week that I can postpone thinking about it for a little while. YAy?!?

and now to work.

inspiration and odd

odd: People found me... but I'm not sure how. Maybe seeing whence I arrived at their blogs. Mayhaps I ought to be using someone else's links to check blogs. It could just be the ever popular clicking on something in their own profile to search for everyone else and just happening to come across someone with a match who is me.

Anyhoooooooooo, no worries. i live here.... and.... hi visitors.

Inspiration: friends from high school who start and finish successful things make me a happy for them, a little jealous, kinda worried, and really inspired. Now, I'm pretty sure that Ani's movie web-site idea will at least get started, even if it doesn't end up as something.

lalala and now... I must go

Tuesday, June 01, 2004

where is home?

Where is my home?

Columbia? Marblehead?

I just don't know.

Back to 'work' (i.e. don't want to write anymore at the moment and must give an excuse to my blog (which I'm guessing nobody reads because I've not told anyone about it))
