the pit

ouch. this weekend really hurt me bad. i think every weekend has for the past month. i don't understand why i keep doing this to myself. our friend hani came up from beaumont to visit us. he, his sister- ramona, her friend- john, our friends- eric, akash, mike, and jeremy and i hung out Friday night. we played several card games like "spoons" and "kent." there were really fun...more fun than any other card games i've played before because they involved more physical action.

Saturday, we went with hani to go buy the lord of the rings collector's edition and some stuff from fry's electronics. then we went all over town trying to find him the game risk- lord of the rings version. we finally found it at a toys-r-us store. while we were there, jerms and i finally found the game we've been looking for for ages. it's called the pit, it's another card game that i played once during the christmas holidays at a friend's house. i've been trying to find it ever since. i was so excited. hani, eric, john (ramona's friend), jerms, and i played the game till almost 5 in the morning. it was insane.

Sunday morning we woke up around 11 and went out to eat at the place called "juan in a million." it's this locally owned mexican restaurant. the owner personally shakes your hand as you walk into his restaurant. it's pretty cool. the best things about this place is that you can get a huge meal for only 3 bucks and it's pretty damn good.



they all really wanted to play another game of the pit afterwards because ramonna didn't get to play it the night before. we ended up play for four hours straight without notice of the time. the game is so damn addictive. this was really good for john who is muslim and practicing the ramadan right now. he was starving but couldn't eat till 5:30. as soon as the clock hit, he was raiding our pantry. heh. i couldn't take that religion for sure.

anyhow, they left after that and jeremy and i went out to eat by ourselves. i then tried to do some reading for my paper. i thought about trying to write but i'm just too drained. such is my life. i always screw myself. so now i'm taking a LOOOONG break from my paper research. this semester has to end soon.

an order of steak to go please

i'm starving. there are two huge steaks downstairs waiting to be cooked. mmmm.. so hungry. jeremy had some overtime work to do so dinner was postponed till 7. my mouth is watering. i can't concentrate on school work because my tummy keep rumbling.

since i couldn't study or work, i re-arranged the living room and changed our bed sheets. there's nothing like good house work to keep you distracted.

PICS FROM THE MYTHIC_VAMP,SAY THANK YOU

i just got back from the smoothie place. i had the lady.
i went to pay and gave her three dollars and ten cents. she said "no, 3.30"
i appologized for my mistake and preceeded to pull out a quarter but a dime fell out also. she picked up the dime and the quarter while putting my other dime in the cash register. she then gave me a nickel. it seems such a shame that people are willing to lose face for a dime. i was really dissapointed.

the old man that works there spotted me a dime once. he was like "you can give me dime next time." he had not intention of having me pay him back either because when i tried to the next day, he didn't know what i was talking about.

my original title for this post would have been "the king and the old hag"

i'm off to class now. :(

lotr extended

ah. i feel downy soft fresh. hehehe. i just got out of the shower and just put on some nice clean jammies. makes me feel cuddly.

today hasn't been too eventful. i went to school, had my smoothie, and drove home. the drive wasn't too pleasant. i ran into a lot of traffic. one couple decided to stop dead in the road to talk to someone on the side of the street. lovely. austin driving is enough to drive anyone insane.

jeremy bought the extended version of lord of the rings today. we watched it. yup, 3.5 hours of my life gone. it was worth it though. the additional scenes were nicely woven into the main film. maybe one day when i'm really bored, i'll watch the movie with the commentary on.

tigger and dessy decided to watch the movie with us as well. however, they were content to watch it underneath our covers. heh. now i can't stop sneezing for some reason. we really need to do some chores around here. i plan on cleaning up the condo before our friend comes in this weekend.

da cats are on the bed now. tigger totally owns it.

intelligent cats

it's pretty much been one of those days... sigh. i had trouble sleeping last night. my insomnia might be back. it went away for a few months. i remember, it's the worst feeling in the world. lying there, thinking, unable to stop thinking, always thinking simultaneous thoughts. this is how the world works when you're lying on your back at 2am knowing that after your brief unconscious break, you're going to be feeling like your head weighs two tons in the morning. i feel like the sleeplessness is like a trap, a huge whole where my mind is constantly being restarted. nights like that, i don't know when or what eventually lets my self collapse.

dessy is laying on the bed underneath an overturned laundry basket. she doesn't try to get out or even let out a sound. i think she knows that this is the only way she can hang with us upstairs. i like to convince myself that my cats are intelligent. i just couldn't have it any other way.

i was waiting in line today at the bank to make a deposit. the tellers were very slow and it pissed me off. i need to work on self control.

beauty and the beast

we just got back from schlotzsky's and grocery shopping. we got steaks for later this week. wohoo. actually we had steak enough for jeremy and i in the freezer but not enough for john also. see how nice we are? :) while we were there i loaded up on kleenex since my sickness has me going through them pretty fast. i also tried to find flexible neon straws but they only had the plain kind. sucks.

i just filled out a registration card for voting..so next time there will be no excuses. i'm trying to research for a papre right now but no luck. i'm just not into it.

jerms did the oddest thing awhile ago. he was reading the tv guide and was like,"hmm monday night football is on right now. beauty and the beast is coming on this week." then 5 minutes later without thinking about it he starts singing the theme song to beauty and the beast. it's cool when men are secure enough to sing disney toons.

have you seen the ring

i saw the movie The Ring awhile back. I took a picture of myself and look!




oh no!!!

(if you haven't seen the ring, disregard this message or just laugh at my funny face)
