.i’m going to start keeping track of the intervals bewteen edible panty conversations. .first instance in the study: evening of 2/12/04. .greg posits a gaussian around valentine’s day.

.haskell: finally got the photo situationall straightened out (thanks ariele). .let me know what you think. .a caption engine is coming, but nobody hold their breath. (ps – try to count how many thumbs you can see over the lens).

.took the stat-mech midterm today. .not too bad, though decided i no longer knew fifth grade math and so couldn’t invert a few simple little sums offractions. .wahoo’s fish taco for dinner – got the bonzai burrito (wet with green salsa). .pretty tasty, though must admit i felt a little off gastronomically afterwards, and i’d much rather blame the burrito than the damn good slice of coconut cream pie i had at pie n’ burger. .drive-by-ganked a nice camellia from the neighbors. .gave it to ted. .katie’s jealous.

.took the two pieces of my car and reconstituted them intoone at the saturn dealer. .shopping with ariele. .didn’t find a rug, but reinspired my desire for a papasan. .got mydrink on in the evening with greg, heidi, jeff, ariele, paul.za, brenda and peter at xiomara – a chichi latin american place in old town. .drank a couple mojitos and ordered an isla flotante – a hardcaramel covered meringue floating in sugary goo. .tasty, but a bit over the top. .brenda mentioned one robbiewilliams and how he was some sort of mega-star everywhere outside of america. .she claimed that americans obviously had no ears and couldn’t judge quality. .i said tina turner is also huge in non-america, and for good reason: we didn’t want her; she sucks (though, note). .my argument, though seemingly flawless, didn’t go overwell. .after paying the (hefty) bill, we (now including michelle and suvir) headed over to lucky baldwin’s (a pub in old town a bit more my style). ?everpurchased a three liter bottle of ale for 75 dollars? .neither have i, but we did get one for $38 after they messed up our order and brought us the big bottleinstead of the “small” 1.5 liter. .chimay blue. .rock on lucky b’s. .heidi got, as we say in the northern.id vernacular,plizastered. .good times all around.

.hopefully, peter jennings’ person of the week tonight will represent the other side of the coin of the gay marriage issue (?is that “heads” or “tails”, then? !hey-ohh!) (see 2/27/04). .i realized last night that i never purchased a february dvd. .guess i need to think of something quick. .heidi suggests spaceballs. .looking at my list, i’m tempted by blade runner.

?ever hear of a burger restaurant (and i mean a restaraunt – not a fast food chain) selling a hearty burger, a heap of fries and a bottomless beverage for 1.99? .neither had i till i found burger continental right here in pasadena (where decent food is never cheap). .offer only valid on mondays and tuesdays. .yesterday was definately a tuesday; i even remembered to order “no sauce” (think [mayonaisse+red]**sunlight). .not that it mattered much, because i never even made it inside the restaurant. .i’d like to say i was waylaid by a preposterously good looking female on the way downtown and was “forced” into performing various carnal acts in public, but unfortunately she swore me to secrecy. .actually, i went up to the girls’ place (see :did: 2003) and found it occupied only by anna (a girl, but in the wrong apartment) and jeff (not a girl). .thinking the situation a bit odd, i look over at jeff, only to see him in clear agony. .thinking his water might have broken, i turn to anna to see what was up, and she is explaining to some random person (whom she probably did not know) over the phone that jeff has dislocated his right kneecap playing im basketball against a team that went 0-7 last year and needs to get to the emergency room. .i turn back to jeff, and, inbetween primal gutterances (how’s that for portmanteau), he nods in confirmation. .katie (a girl, and of the correct apartment) proceeds to rush into the (her) domicile with jeff‘s wallet and cellphone in hand. .jeff calls his folks in katy.tx, and a host of new people arrive (including, but not limited to, ariele, bert, greg, and paul.za) intending to have a pleasant evening meal at burger continental. .many of them do. .katie, ariele and i haul jeff‘s ass down to huntington where he is happily received by a bunch of security guards with a weelchair. .we make a collective effort of filling out his paperwork inbetween seeing the r.n., x-ray tech, dr, drug lady, and medical fashion specialist. .ace shows up, and the girls go get something to eat (and drink as it turns out), leaving ace and me to make cracks about jeff’s lower gi. .jeff comes out of the place with a knee immobilizer and an appointment for a followup with an orthopedics guy in a couple days. .nothing broken, but no word yet on any tearing (rhymes with “airing” as in ‘i’ll be ~ you a new one for ganking the last reese’s peanut butter cup peanut butter cookie’). .hoping for the best.

.ariele and i completely failed to fill jeff‘s prescription at 11pm. .there exists no 24hr pharmacy in la county. .to top it off, by the time we got back, all the the pizza places were closed. .consequence: dinner consisted of an english muffin and an egg and bagel sandwich. .to be fair, however, i can walk.

.after a very pleasant dinner (thanks to bert, katie, ariele and heather) at bahooka, jeff, ace, adam and i went bowling. ?what is this day of rest shit? !it don’t matter to jesus! .99, 64, 92, 96. .or something like that. .already i don’t remember. .definately didn’t break 100, and definately got in the low sixties once. .think i’ll go pro pretty soon. .high score of the night went to jeff with something in the mid 150s. .i bowled a few double gutter-balls (but two near-turkeys), though adam had the ignominy of rolling two gutters while an eight year old girl threw a strike. .eight year olds, dude. .all in all: $13 to spend a good two hours+ quoting big lebowski and teaching the rock-lock. .a thirteen dollars well spent. !rawk!

.jizzie in the krizzie (get your mind our of the gutter, ariele).

.went home to moscow on the 16th. .very wierd to be home so early and even stranger to come back to school so soon (jan 5th). .but an enjoyable break no less. .got to hang out with some hs friends and basically just be lazy at home. .after xmas, on the 27th, we (the fam) drove over to seattle to visit my gramma and the rest of my dad’s side (an annual tradition). .ended up spending new years with lincoln (though didn’t get to see chana). .good times all around
