'twas pretty late. i pretty much just showered n' went to bed. in the early morn, sooni woke me up w/ an arf. i later discovered she had arfed cos some1 had stolen bottles out'f our recycling bin. ah, oh yah, last nite, after coming home, i had to take out the recycling n' the trash. neway, i don't <i>really</i> care <i>2</i> much that our bottles were stolen from our bin. it's lost revenue 4 our city, which sucks. however, i'm glad they're getting recycled 1 way or 'nother. <p>u gotta check out 2day's <i>fox trot</i> comic. keep in mind that i read only 2 comics on a daily basis: <i>fox trot</i> n' <i>the boondocks</i>. <a href="http://news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/uclickcomics/20060327/cx_ft_uc/ft20060327" target="new">http://news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/uclickcomics/20060327/cx_ft_uc/ft20060327</a> dude, squaw valley s'pposedly has 329 inches'f snow rt now. *sigh* i wish i were on the slopes. "i'd rather be snowboarding." (that's what my fron license plate holder sez.) [later] i wanna share w/ u an e.mail conversation i had w/ my cowerker friend: <p><font face="courier new" color="black"> to: beno hwang<br> subject: disappointed<p> beno, <p>really disappointed man.. wanted to go to sierra this weekend.. but havent<br> got a single positive response.. i had sent ti to like 25 ppl.. hmmm..<br> i'll find someone and just go i guess. haha.. oh well..<p> cheers<br> [cowerker friend]</font> <p><p><font face="courier new" color="#000077"> to: [cowerker friend]<br> subject: re: disappointed<p> wow, people aren't snowboarders this season, eh? you know, i blame it all<br> on the late start to the season. people like you and me are just trying<br> to make up for lost time, but others can't keep up with that kind of<br> schedule and have also been demotivated by not starting earlier this<br> season, you know? i wanted to hit the slopes this saturday, but i have<br> this referee seminar to attend for the taekwondo tournament in berkeley<br> that i'm helping out with on saturday, april 15. i'm going up to sierra<br> with a group from my church on april 7. i guess i'll aim for april 22 as<br> well, but i have some baby shower to attend on april 29. *sigh* yah,<br> don't say the snow season's over cos it's not. it's now time to use those<br> late season deals n' buy cheap tix off'f craig's list! it's weird. this<br> season has turned out to be quite awful despite mother nature trying to<br> make it up to us with these late winter / early spring storms. it's as if<br> we're just telling her, "too little, too late, lady!"<p> ~beno</font> <p>[later] 오후: during my lunchbrk, i werked out in the werk.com gym. then, i returned to my office/cube n' microwaved some scrambled eggs w/ <font color="#005500">spinacci</font>, shrooms, garlic, <font color="#005500">파 pa (green onions)</font>, n' salsa that i cooked up this morn. aktually, they rn't real eggs but "better than eggs" or sumpthin' like that, some generik albertsons egg substitute. i bought a carton'f that stuff the last time i went to albertsons last wk. when was that? *shrug* wednesday evening? 'twas that nite when i was upset 'bout being so trapped @ my office that i couldn't even pick up our dry cleaning in time. neway, i cooked those eggs. i <i>started out</i> cookin' 'em 4 <i>brkfast</i> but then decided to have some healthy, organik oatmeal 4 brkfast n' save the egss 4 lunch. i packed them in an ol' tupperware. i hope 'twas healthy 'nuff'f a lunch. i've gotta remind myself <i>not</i> to overeat. i ate 2 much this past wknd. <p> yeah, i <i>am</i> disappointed re: not going up to tahoe 'nuff this season. during this season, i was <i>sure</i>, this season'd be better than the 2003~2004 season, in which i only spent 8 days on the slopes. wow, this season may turn out worse. the 2003~2004 season ended early cos'f sooni. <i>this</i> season <i>started</i> late cos'f weather. <p>[later] <b>i'm still not a balla</b>: this wknd i watched more "college hoops" than i have in a very long time. march madness is strong this yr. i'm very surprised that i watched non.<font face="script" color="blue" size="+3">cal</font> games: george mason v. wichita state, washington huskies v. u conn huskies, georgetown v. florida, ... the big news's how underdog george mason has made it into the final 4. @ this pt, who would i want to win? either ucla cos'f west coast, cali4nian, uc spirit or george mason just cos most ppl r prob'ly cheering 4 this underdog. i guess i'm basi<font face="script" color="blue" size="+3">cal</font>ly saying i don't care 'bout florida or lsu, which's true. <p>[later] since kaela's still in dc, last wk, i planned a <font color="#ff9900"><a href="http://www.grx.org" target="new">grx</a></font> t3 south men's nite out 4 myself. i made a (if i don't say so myself) clever evite; but only 1 guy can make it. i'd like to show u the evite, but i don't think it's possible. <p>[later] i received my rebecca st. james <i>if i had one chance to tell you something</i> used cd in the mail yesterday (or on saturday, i guess). check out the wikipedia article on her: <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rebecca_St._James" target="new">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rebecca_St._James</a>. not knowing nething 'bout this australian.born tennesee resident, i assumed she was older; but she was born in 1977. <p>밤 1034p: so i went out to dinner w/ just 1'f my t3 south bruthas. we went to giovanni's pizza on lawrence expwy. wow, the spaghetti n' pizza were pretty darn good. we shared a small rustica pizza n' an order'f spaghetti w/ meatballs. i overate.<br><br><br>
