hail mary

Lunched at another great Thai restaurant called Osha with Desss, who I haven't seen in at least three years. We debated on and on about when the actual last encounter was, but at the food was so dee-lish. She warned me that the skys would splash down today. Thank goodness it didn't happen when I met her downtown, because I forgot my umbrella.

Fast forward seven hours later, the lightning and thunder caused a stir in the quiet study area of the library on campus because some girl peeked out the window and said something. I had my earphones on, so I didn't hear what she said.

When I left the library shortly afterwards, I witnessed what all the fuss was about. The ground was covered with hella hail! I don't think I've seen that much hail before. It was fun walking on the stuff. Cars got covered, it was like a winter wonderland. Angel had her share; I thought most of it would've melted by the time I got home, but I guess the 10 minute drive and the heat of the car in the still freezing air. This winter certainly played some weird tricks, first the temperatures were in the high 60's and low 70's in January, now this.

One more exciting thing; this week's been amazing!

the last temptation of 3rd Giliginich

I don't miss working, but now I feel the hardships of not having a regular monthly income. Though I'm not starving yet - luckily I do have family and Roomie close enough to run to if necessary, and they won't allow something like that to happen anyway - I'm suddenly slightly Mr. Materialistic. More wants than needs pop up like crazy all over the place: DVD recorder, Victorinox backpack, SFSU sweatshirt, wcsn.com track and field coverage, ebay auction items, artwork, COBRA health insurance coverage, computer software upgrades, etc., all come up to my face and tempted me so badly.

I already blew a chunk of change on one item listed above, so hopefully the buck stops there. I don't have any health insurance coverage at the moment and that's totally freakin me out. Oh priorities, priorities.

I became a AAA member several weeks ago. Joining was one of the most exciting things I felt lately, continuing proof that the littlest things excite me. Now I can get free maps - yes, maps excite me too - and special discounts at participating hotels and such, and roadside assistance whenever!

I don't know if it's some weird karma or luck deal, but then Angel got sick. Her driver side lock won't engage when I use the key beeper thing, and it won't lock when I start the engine, so there's definitely something wrong.

I haven't had time to take her to get fixed because 1) I don't really have much time to hang out at the scum-sucking-money-hungry-pig mechanic's and 2) the scum-sucking-money-hungry-pig mechanic will probably take an arm and a leg to get the problem fixed, or they'll "find" something else wrong. Bastardos!

meditation

My two Holistic Health classes in Eastern Perspectives and Traditional Chinese Medicine encourage practicing meditation on a daily basis. I'm not disciplined enough to practice everyday, and I'm certainly not flexible enough.

The hardest thing physically is to sit in full lotus position. My body just wasn't made with the right parts/nuts and bolts to enable me to do this. The best I can do is "half" lotus, and this strains my back just to hold it. Oh well, my cousin said that a little pain is good, since experiencing the pain helps you to not fall asleep while meditating, or something like that. I hope I can achieve this position some day soon, and my instructor says that if you can sit like this, it makes for better sex as it makes your hip flexors more flexible.

it's a beautiful day

Great stuff: I finally got a hold of video footage of the track and field events from the 1984 Olympics in L.A. and watched them most of the day. Awesome!

Thank you David and Steve for making all this possible.

Got treated to really delicious Thai dinner by S and J. Gotta go back to that place because I'm still hungry for that dish with that beef, so yummy.

don't forget to bring a towel

This girl sashays with her girlfriend in to class about one hour late and sat on the floor near where I'm seated because there weren't enough seats available elsewhere in the room where they could sit together.

Now this puta must have swum laps in her perfume because for the remainder of the class, her overpowering scent attacked my nose. I'm sensitive to smells, like when I go cologne shopping and test out a couple on those cards, and the ones that I do like on my wrist to see how my chemistry reacts to the scent, I get a big headache afterwards.

Ugh, so now I'm suffering from a headache. The irony of it all was that this happened in my Holistic Health class. I hope someone tells that puta to never swim laps in her perfume again. I was about to say something to her tonight, but she was saved by the bell.
