| 25 aug 2001 "do you remember when you'd pray to never see the day when someone would make you feel this way 'cause you knew they would cut right through you and once inside, you were afraid they'd find nothing to hold on to" i'm sorta happy with my cowboy junkies best of album.� you know, if i had a cd burner, i wouldn't have to buy all these "best of" albums because i'd just burn my own, you know?� i mean, i have all the cowboy junkies cd's anyway.� this is just a convenience thing, having their best songs on one cd.� anyway, i'd be happier if this one had songs from their two or three most recent albums.� oh well.� i'm still looking for that saint etienne singles cd that i've seen before.� who has it?� is it an import? i went to tower yet AGAIN today.� i was looking for a barenaked ladies song that i've heard before.� i consulted amms about it, and she thought it might be "break your heart" on the _born on a pirate ship_ album.� so i went and picked it up (along with the new blink 182).� hm.� sorry amms.� it's not the right one.� so the search continues. i was watching dateline just now.� they have an expose on drunk and sleepy driving.� it's pretty scary shit.� even if fewer people may be conscientiously not driving drunk (i don't know if this is true), sleepy driving still pretty prevalent, right?� and these people are OUT there on the highways and stuff.� damn.� *shiver* i've driven drunk once.� it was last june or so, when we lenox boys threw a party at our place.� i had to be at stanford early the next morning to attend the taiko performance at baccalaureate, so i left the party early and drove to jeremy and kate's to crash (i needed the peace and quiet).� i was pretty much trashed.� damn.� i'm such a dumbass.� i swore never to do it again. thursday night, i saw _rush hour 2_ with jay and some of his med school friends.� i didn't think much of the movie, except that zhang ziyi is damn hot.� william says that she's got messed up teeth, and i do seem to remember her smile being a bit awkward, but it's no big deal to me... i'd totally do her.� you might notice that they all speak cantonese in the movie, but when zhang has dialogue, it's in mandarin.� because she doesn't know cantonese! and last night, there was a huge fiasco with alan's plan of getting us all together.� we were supposed to meet at gombei (*drool*) at 5:45 and see the 7:40 showing of _american pie 2_ at whipple.� but his flight got cancelled, blah blah, so we wound up cancelling everything.� finally, he got in at 8pm, and we wound up fending for ourselves for dinner and meeting at shoreline to catch the 9:35 showing of _pie_. i really enjoyed the movie.� nothing deep, obviously.� just a bunch of silly sexual situations.� i swear, though, if stifler weren't in the movie, it would have been a lot more boring.� stifler is just pure 100% brainless testosterone.� my favorite characters are the m.i.l.f. ("Mom I'd Like to Fuck") guy (john cho!� go asian actor!) and michelle, the band geek (alyson hannigan).� i found alyson really endearing and oddly sexy.� dunno why.� maybe because i like her character on _buffy_.� maybe because i'm a geek, and i identify with her.� maybe because of my redhead fetish.� anybody who would call me her "bitch" in bed is somebody that i'd be interested in.� :)� (a-ha!� that's where my alyson/allison spelling comes from!) speaking of that, there was one afternoon when i went to stanford to watch taiko perform.� one of the taiko players, gina, had some errands to run, so i told her i'd tag along.� and she promptly designated me as her "bitch."� she'd go, "hey bitch, hold this jamba juice for me."� "bitch, wear my backpack."� and i'd just comply.� i found myself oddly aroused.� like i said, i dig any girl who would have the balls to call me her bitch.� i think i work much better as a subserviant sex slave.� i wouldn't be able to pull off the dominant one... i'd feel too bad for the other person. so i wonder why mainstream-movie breasts are more exciting than, say, porn breasts.� probably because in porn, everyone's naked all the time, so it loses its novelty.� in normal movies, you never know when they might cross the line into nudity, so it's more exciting, right?� heh and shannon elizabeth looks no good with bangs.� get rid of those bangs!� we were watching the first _pie_ on dvd at my place before we met at the theater.� what's so impressive is that shannon has a full-body tan.� niiiice. it was really nice to see a decent sized group of my buddies last night.� jay, peter, jack, jeremy, alan, rainbow, kate... *sigh*� i swear, our schedules are so separate and unyielding that it takes almost a miracle to get all of us together these days.� so sad. so i've been awake for all of 5 hours today.� it's almost 9pm!� peter asked me if i wanted to play basketball with him saturday, and i thought about it, and said sure.� it's 5-on-5 fullcourt.� damn.� it's been a long time since i've done that.� (last time was back in november, i think.)� i showed up at the gym, and it was total deja vu because that's where i used to play every weekend for a while. i almost passed out during the first game.� just not used to so much back and forth running.� i settled down after the first game, but there was a major problem... i didn't know any of the people!� so without playing shirts vs. skins, i have a shitload of problems figuring out who was on my team.� i threw the ball away so many times, i wanted to cry and just go home.� my shots weren't falling (i had like three airballs), and for once, my scoring was made up of layups and hook shots from the paint. peter yelled out "play your size!" meaning that since i was tall and "big," i should drive to the basket more and grab tons of rebounds under the basket.� it was really weird to realize that he thought i was big compared to the others.� i've NEVER been big before in my life.� tall, sure, but i was skinny as hell, at 130-140 pounds.� now i'm 175, but i don't think i'll ever get it in my head that i'm any bulkier than when i was in the past. i was out with the bball people from 12-4, and i came back and crashed until 8.� i have this buzzing headache from sleeping too much.� *sigh* after the game, i had possibly one of the most highly caloric single-patty burgers ever... burger king's xtreme bacon/cheese whopper, with EXTRA mayo.� if you look on the receipt, the extra mayo option shows up as "hevi mayo."� i wonder who the hell came up with that spelling of "heavy." aight.� nothing further to report.� laters! "nothing's wrong with me... something's got to give... let the bodies hit the floor..." |
