weekend end..
man, the back of my hands feel like coarse leather--rough, raw, and worn. i may hafta take a page out of the metrosexual handbook and start usin some moisturizer (shudder) cuz my hands are k-i-l-l-i-n-g me..
- speakin of which, have you taken the metrosexual quiz?? unfortunately, i flunked and got a 4 out of 50..
- so feb 14th came and went. for esther, im sure it was a blur since she had to spend most of it rechargin her batteries (shes on this horrible night-shift). but despite her efforts, i tried hard to be all nice and valentine-y: flowers and gift culminatin to a chef charles dinner (course, it took me like 3 hrs to cook--good thing esther was snoozin)..
course, as esther mentioned--all that crap means nothin if im only "nice" to her one day in the year. "contrived" is quickly becomin her favorite word (yes!! i am rubbin off on her!!)..
- i usually stay up til 1am on sat nites so i can catch cheaters, which im still uncertain as to whether its fake or not. but i guess all the runnin around and cookin got to me cuz i crashed just after midnite. its not often when i fall asleep (as oppose to goin to sleep), but when i do i feel so much more rested..
- on fri nite, i was watchin celebrity poker and got the urge to play some texas holdem. so i scoured the web for a sufficient online poker game, found one (888.com), and since then have been playin it every chance i get. its too much fun which translates to too much danger, although i am still playin w/ play money. one starts out w/ $1G and im now up to $1500. i understand now why the $10/$20 tables are so popular--the pot averages $1000 per hand..
i keep tellin myself im doin this to get ready for vegas, but the day i cross over and submit my credit card info--we may lose our mortgage..
- the nba all-star weekend was a bit underwhelmin, not that i had given into much of the media build-up this year. but compared to last years, it was disappointin w/ the notable exception of the rookie-soph game which, while not competitive, was a great dunk-a-thon. the dunk contest was lame because of the way it ended (no duel this yr) and the all-star game, though close, was sorta ho-hum. course, no matter how lame and contrived the entire weekend is i will always watch. did i ever mention that when i was workin in switz, i stayed up til 3am on sun nite just to watch the all-star game?? it was worth it..
- skimmin over my last several entries, it would appear i have no serious thoughts to share. when in fact, i simply have no serious thoughts at all. im like a dog--my life can be broken down into food, play, and sleep. work would fit under the last category..
oh, and poo. lots and lots of p-o-o..
