i'm at work right now, and i'm tired. i'm not surprised at all. one, i'm at work. two, i woke up at 6am this morning. and three, i just had a big combo lunch at mishima's (west l.a.). someone from the next building walked into my office earlier, just when i was "resting my eyes." highly embarrassing, but at least it's friday.

after the s.f. trip...

- tuesday morning (7/8), 11am ish. i've decided i'm not going to go into work today. i felt sick and i did not feel like working. so i didn't. it's a wonder that i'm not fired yet. i must be a really good, hardworking employee. *snicker*

- wednesday morning (7/9), 11:40am. oh, so my supervisor told me to come into her office to talk to her just now. i got a little worried because i heard earlier in the day that one of my co-worker just got laid off (the study she was hired to coordinate was over). so i went in thinking i'm going to get sacked. instead, this happened:

supervisor: what are you making these days?
me: hmm, $1... [some dismal amount you don't need to know right now]
supervisor: you didn't get a raise last year, did you?
me: hmm, no.
supervisor: i see. well, we need to give you a raise and maybe change your job title too.
me: yeah. sure, that'll be great.
supervisor: you're a smart guy, but i sense that you're not motivated.
me: yep, you're absolutely correct...

isn't life fucked up sometimes?

- saturday evening (7/12), 9pm ish. mark, jay and rob were having a party (with an actual dj) at their house. for some reason, deidra wanted to go and also invited her roommate, robert, and his girlfriend, stacy. i think i rather would not have gone myself, but deidra was kinda adamant about going, so i tagged along. i got there and there were a lot of people i didn't know. but that's alright, cuz we went directly to the bar (mark was mixing drinks) and i got one of mark's highly potent, long island ice tea.

- saturday evening, 11pm ish. i was pretty "happy" by this time. i think i went with mark to the market to get more ice and cokes for mixing. i remember being very annoying and making people go dance. i also remember deidra and i playing foosball against robert and stacy and all the while, i was dancing and shit. then, i believe, we all danced some more. (i don't particularly like dancing. i'm too self-conscious about my dancing "dis"-ability. but for that one special night, i didn't care. i was high on alcohol and deidra looked so good, i just had to bust the move on her.)

- sunday morning (7/13), 2am ish. mark said that i wasn't allow to drive home on the account of being drunk. i told him, he's silly, i couldn't be more sober. how can you mistake my dances of "happiness" to be a sign of unbridle drunkiness? deidra ended up driving my car home. i don't like not driving my own car home, but whadda ya gonna do? mark's the motherfucking regulator, and it's good that he's got my back, cuz DUI's are a bitch.

- sunday morning, 10:30am. had to wake up early to go to the long beach aquarium with kimmy, gordon and little joshua. it was fun, but then again, it was hot. i don't like heat very much, and it was made worse by the aftereffects of the previous night's devilish debauchery. after the aquarium, deidra and i hung out at her place for an hour (loving the kitties), then we left for the eastside and went to a chinese supermarket. deidra says she doesn't like the odor emanating from the store, but sometimes you've got to do a little sacrificing for delicious malted vitasoy.

- sunday night, 9:00pm ish. finished cooking dinner for deidra and i (glass noodle with fried tofu, mushrooms, chinese broccoli, and shrimp with steamed rice). after dinner, we went for a walk to return some videos from blockbusters. after coming back home, deidra went to bed while i stayed up to finish watching an episode of "law and order: criminal intent." bedtime. definitely, bedtime.
