so last night i was watching cartoon network really late at night when they have their adult swim on. there was this weird show on which apparently was called lupin the 3rd. i think lupin is a thief and he's got two friend thieves and there's some inspector guy that's always following them around trying to catch them and there's this chick who lupin wants but she's like a rival thief or something and she keeps betraying him and his friends are like, "tool, that girl sucks, don't trust her" and lupin's like "uh, come on guys, she's hot" and the girl's hair color keeps changing but i guess that doesn't matter because she's got big tatas (that is my least favorite euphamism for breasts. people just sound like morons when they say it. they use it down south. 'nuff said.). anyway, so the show was odd and stupid in that typical anime way, but also completely enjoyable (perhaps it was the late hour that made it so...). so check out the lupin website... if you go to the multimedia section you can download sideburns that you can apply to your face (they caution that you should not use superglue) and have that 1337 lupin style.

so wednesday night i met beck in new paltz and we had dinner at a thai restaurant called Lemongrass (or something like that). so the food was good. the shrimp spring rolls were excellent. but they should warn you when they're going to serve something cold. i ordered this dish called yum duck (ok, beck and i are so immature, because we kept giggling at the names of the dishes). it was duck with cucumbers and tomatoes and cashew nuts and "brown sauce". it was a salad. well this girl didn't realize that it was a salad until she dug in and popped the first bite in her mouth. and then i wanted to die. it was so cold... and i expected hot... the salad was ok. but there was something in it that tasted like licorice and it totally grossed me out and brought me back to last saturday night with those nasty shots... ugh... never again... soyeah. if you're ever in new paltz and you like thai food, go to lemongrass (also, you have to like to spend money because damn, it was expensive).

well, it happened again. my freaking computer crashed. badly. i set it to work this morning transferring songs to my minidisc player and then got in the shower. when i got out of the shower it had, of course, crashed. frankly, i expected this. unfortunately it crashed much harder than i thought it would. it had tried to reboot but couldn't start windows so i had a black screen in front of me saying "so, um... i couldn't start windows... yeah. i'm, like, missing this essential file or something. so, like, you should try and repair me by using the original windows disc or something. yeah. good luck with that." (ok, that's not exactly what it said, but that's pretty much the gist of it. so of course i haven't tried to fix it yet because i had to go to work and i won't have time tonight to try and get it up and limping (cause, yeah, that stupid machine doesn't exactly run anymore, it pretty much limps). so i went ahead and bought a dell. it's not as rash a decision as it seems. i've been looking at prices for a while and i figured for a brand new computer it wasn't a bad price. so rock. new computer soon. now i'll be able to sleep at night without having to close my bedroom door because the computer in the next room is too loud.

ebaumsworld.com. go there when you feel ugly and check out the pictures of celebrities with and without makeup. you'll feel better. (it's in the images section). also, check out the picture that's titled "one of my cats ate my entire bag of weed" or something like that off of the first page. it's hilarious.

so... this weekend was supposed to be quiet...

friday was pretty quiet. beck came over and we watched darby o'gill and the little people. it's an old disney movie and sean connery is in it and he sings. it's pretty funny (although i don't think it's supposed to be funny in the way it amused us). the parts with the leprechauns dancing were freaking hilarious. i've seen guys dance like that when they're drunk... :) and there's this one part where the death coach or whatever is coming for darby. it gets there and the door opens and this big, booming, echoey voice says "darby o'gill..." and it pauses for a second then it says, "get in." it's just too funny... :) soyeah. that was friday...

saturday i went to my parents house and saw their new dog. her name is lilly. she's a tiny little puppy... she's only 10 weeks old. she's really adorable. i was so excited all morning to go see the puppy and then i got there and i was like, "aww, she's so cute" and then i didn't know what to do with her. i mean, she's just a baby. she doesn't really play yet. so... later i went with beck to walk. we were just supposed to walk around the malls. but then we ended up buying boots (really cheap! $15!) and hella cute t-shirts at american eagle.

so later we went to malt river brewing company to see hair of the dog. so i had a gin and tonic... then i had another one... then i had another one... and then i had a shot... and then i pounded a guinness... so yeah. damn. i was pretty blitzed. in fact i don't remember part of the night. i remember everything up to being in the kitchen at steve's house later on. i did a shot of aftershock with alex and jason. i remember doing the shot and putting the shotglass down somewhere in the kitchen. then the memory stops... i get a few little glimpses of memories... but yeah. wow. sunday was not so good. i was so so so hungover. and so sick for most of the day. i felt like death until around 4 and then i felt like someone had stepped on me... ugh.

so i had to take my dad to get his eyes laser corrected that night. it was being done in the parking lot behind a howard johnson's. sounds sketchy, i know. but apparently lasik vision has this traveling truck that goes around to different areas. the doctors etc were all from washington dc. so dad said that the procedure wasn't so bad. not really painful, but you could smell the flesh burning when the laser fired. ew... dad just called me a little while ago. he can see. his vision went from 20/400 to 20/30. that's freaking awesome. i'm so jealous. i'm totally saving up and having that done.

so congrats (i can't spell the whole world) go out to eric and sarah! if you read the comments on this site you'll see that eric proposed to sarah in feb. Congrats! :) wow. the first one of my friends (around my age) to get engaged. this must mean we're old.
