수요일 아침: i guess i've started the reconstruction process for my 2005 beno journal archive. *sigh* i'm afraid i've lost some entries. it's a good thing that i usually write my entries in windows notepad and then cut and paste that text into .html file in unix. if i didn't do that, i might have lost everything. it's quite devastating already. what's just a little bit funny is that a little bit before i discovered that i had deleted my 2005 beno journal archive, i had thought, "since some people might think writing in my journal is a waste of time, i wonder if it would be good for me if something happened and i lost my entire journal. that would actually discourage me from writing in it." why is the rapper pharrell known as "skateboard p"? [later] i tried to look that up on wikipedia, but the page that popped up depicted the rapper along with a topless female friend, so i had to close the page since i was at work.
i get vistors from my page from all over the world. i obviously get visitors from the bay area and the rest of california especially socal. i also get visitors from all over the rest of the united states of america like my most recent vistor at this time from oklahoma city or visitors from houston, texas; kansas city, missouri; minneapolis, missouri; columbus, georgia; roselle, new jersey; cleveland, ohio; lynn, massachusetts; alexandria, virginia; shaw air force base, south carolina; miami, florida; milwaukee, wisconsin, etc. i get vistors from the rest of north america like from canada and mexico; from south america like from buenos aires, argentina; from africa like from nigeria; from new south wales, mullengandra, australia... as you might expect, i get visitors from asia. within the last 100 clicks, i have visitors from korea and the philippines. now what you may or may not have expected is that i get many, many, many visitors from europe. did you know that? the united kingdom, france, netherlands, denmark, germany, romania... i'm a little bit surprised. well, most people still come to benomix.com for beno's pager code site. wow, i hate to talk about business (in a way), but i should revamp the advertising on that page; not that i want to flood the page with ads but that i should pick better ads.
[later] mail order beno: my repaired or refurbished pa1mone tungsten t5 is supposed to be delivered to me tomorrow. i wonder which they are sending me: repaired or refurbished. in a way, i'd prefer to have my old unit back, repaired. however, i fear they'll more likely send me a refurbished one, which belonged to someone else before. it doesn't feel as good to get something like that, but oh well. on a separate note, as you may have read, i have been slightly considering joining bmg music club again. however, i'm not considering it that much because i know they're sleazy. there's another company called yourmusic.com that sends you a cd each month for $5.99 (including shipping). maybe i should do that instead. i can get 500 mypoints for joining. otherwise, if i can get an affiliate link going with them, then i can get $18 if anyone clicks my link and joins. that would be cool.
어제 밤 태권도 연슴후에 태권도장 옆에 있는 되지 나라 호프에 갔어요, 우리들. 응 저기의 음식이 맛있지만 북잡하고 서비스가 좀 천천히 했어요. 삼겹살은요? 응 맛있죠. 손님이 삼겹살을 좋아하세요? 저는 삼겹살을 벼로 좋아하지 않지만 그걸 먹어요. 삼겹살과 김치와 반찬과 상추와 마늘과 고추와 맥주를 먹었어요. 잼이있어요. 밤 9:00 부터 11:00 까지 머고 있었어요. 태권도 연습은요? 괜찮았어요.
[later] 오후: yesterday and today, i worked out in the company gym during lunch and ate lunch in my cubicle. yesterday's lunch was a veggie wrap with a diet pepsi. today's lunch was a chicken burrito.
in previous academic quarters, the beautiful kaela hwang attended her "gonstead" club every wednesday evening. this quarter, the weekly club meeting has been moved from wednesday night to thursday night. in a way, i don't like that because then kaela can't go to taekwondo practice on thursday nights. at the same time, that doesn't make too much of a difference because she has been skipping thursday night sparring practice very consistently anyway. i'd like for her to go, but she doesn't want to spar other people. even when we just spar each other, though, it's a good workout. [later] i was thinking yesterday about how i should try to leave work earlier on tuesday and thursday evenings for taekwondo. i can consider staying later on monday and wednesday nights if necessary. finally, i should try to leave "on time" on fridays for our t3s couples bible study small group. i read in an article, which was probably about reducing stress, that one should try to limit him/herself to either working late or going in early and not do both. i can believe that. that could mean that one should say, "i'll stay really late if i need to or come in really early if i need to. however, i refuse to work a little late and come in a little early."
