09:49: i feel like such a heel for having missed the geek fest. and i still haven't seen ep3. i am no longer worthy of geekdom. =( i should at least try to go to mos eisley night, tonight at hard rock. just hope i wake up.
i also missed all 5 showcases of the classes that i wrote for. i got to see rian's, though. that's what counts, right?
i even missed the champions league final match!!

feels like this week has been one long nightmare. i'm glad it's friday and that i've got a relatively fun weekend ahead. i'll be dining with my brothers and watching two plays. and thankfully, we don't have to go in to work on monday. but i do need to study.

oof. still badly need a spa day.

10:02: hey, guess what? white shirt guy can't make it on sunday.
... why do i even bother? this got me thinking a whole lot, but i shall not dwell on that anymore.
instead, i shall be watching with the cad. ah, well. friends are the next best thing.

hey, guess what? i still haven't seen the last star wars movie. but i did get to see the f1 monaco grand prix.
ah, yes, after the first six races of the season, finally an f1 post. how do i feel about the new rules? ...ambivalent. the new rules say you have to use the exact same set of tires for two consecutive races. you can only change a tire if you can no longer race with it, like if it's been punctured, shredded, gone to bits, etc. because of this, the more exciting drivers aren't driving as aggressively. they're all saving their tires and driving conservatively. a tad boring. but. i like that it mixes things up. the red bridgestone-using bastards are struggling to get the right tires. meantime, renault is doing great and so is toyota. my top two favorite drivers are in a great team with an excellent car and they're quickly catching up to renault. williams is getting stronger, too, and i can't wait until bar gets back in the game.
monaco is usually a boring circuit, but it's always fun to watch, if only to spot all sorts of people in the crowd. footballers, movie stars, models... they say half the cast of star wars was at monaco and george lucas was watching the race from red bull's pit wall. why? because red bull racing cosworth (formerly jaguar cosworth) had joined the force. i thought i was imagining things when i saw star wars logos on the cars. sadly, the team didn't do too well. coulthard came in for an early pit stop which eventually turned into a retirement, thanks to michael schumacher. concerned as i was for coulthard, all i could say was "OHMYGOD! OHMYGOD!! THAT IS SO COOL!!" because, dude!!! their pit crew was in storm trooper outfits!!!!! how kick-ass is that? i always thought that mclaren's crew looked very wickedly vader-ish in their black suits and helmets, but these guys beat that. the red bull crew wore white racing suits, tailored to look like a storm trooper uniform. they got the helmets right, too! drat. wish i had pictures to link.

hey, guess what? i haven't slept and i really should try and sleep now. enough f1. geekfest at glorietta later today!

15:03: i'll be out of town this weekend. we're having a team building thingy. i don't even know the full details of the thing. they only told us about it the other night. we aren't required to go or anything. but i find that as much as i want to stay home and rest, i don't want to be home. did that make any sense? basta. i have to get out of here.

05:59: now that the cat's out of the bag, i can speak freely. sort of. sorry i didn't tell you, sis. i figured you had enough troubles of your own.

toon and his family have moved to out. huge bugger because i was just beginning to get along with my nephew. wev momentarily considered moving out too, as an act of rebellion. but i don't think it would have worked. i, however, am torn. i could move out, but i feel obliged to stay and help out at the house. but whenever i think of who's moving into the house which toon once occupied....
i'm gonna snap one of these days.
and so methinks that i really ought to move out of the house and find my own place. as a friend so wonderfully pointed out, it would be cheaper to live on my own that to see a shrink or to keep a lawyer on retainer because of developing homicidal tendencies. thing is, i need a roomie. and i have yet to find a suitable place. i have the option of renting the spare room at khali's, but it would still be a long commute to work. hmm. fink, fink, fink.

something to be excited about... aai's once on this island. awesome cast! my friends and i can't wait to watch. i've already reserved tickets. i'll be watching with jersey girl and ix. i'm also watching with white shirt guy. heeheehee.
