so i had last friday off, and decided this weekend was going to be one not drowning in work. i slept in, did some shopping @ costco and safeway. picked up a bunch of liquor to complement the bartending book jackie got me for christmas. definitely planning to learn how to make a few new drinks this year. managed to return my electric razor that i was constantly frustrated with in the year i owned it. going old school with a mach3. plans to see karsh kale @ 1015 fell through and i crashed early on fri night. i think all the sleeplessness caught up to me. slept in saturday, met up with youn for some hawaiian grub at this new spot in the san antonio shopping center. got a bbq chicken/seafood combo platter (youn got the same thing too) and we were both impressed. the amount of seafood was pretty good and overall it was a pretty satisfying meal.
did a bunch of miscellanious shopping during the day, went home, got some work done, hung out with katie and relaxed until i headed out at night. it was raf’s 21st bday, so i stopped by his party @ stanford and dropped off a bottle of alize for him. after that i partyhopped over to mike, neil and armen’s party down the street from me. lotsa people, lotsa drunk people hehe. ran into a lot of people i had not seen in a long time, like mike, armen, neil, james, rustin and khan. there were also lots of random azn ppl i didn’t know, but i had fun downing some drinks and catching up with friends.
sunday i slept in again. damn i caught up on a ton of sleep this weekend. hit up ymca with katie. this one down on grant road is pretty sweet… i was impressed, cuz everything i thought about the local Y was pretty ghetto. i shot around for an hour and a half and it went pretty well. my shot wasn’t totally off and i just worked on getting my feel back for the ball. definitely need to get some conditioning in and all that. i want to play a lot of ball this year and playing sunday was encouraging. smacking my feet on the gym floor sent some shockwaves up my back a few times but i think things will get better. i’m surprisingly sore today but that’s a good thing. after ball i met up with melissa and we walked down to castro to grab some pmt. came back to my place and talked for a few hours. it was nice to catch up as it had been a while since we hung out. after that, got back to cranking out more stuff for school and then i eventually hit the sack.
today was uneventful except for a meeting with my hiring manager. that went really well and i got a lot of encouragement from him. it’s late now and i’ll be hitting the sack soon. tomorrow i’m off to a meeting with jerry cain and his little advisees. my goal is to represent the role of computer science and software engineers in aerospace and give it a viable image. my presumption is most kids will be enamored with the google/yahoo types there but i think it’s overhyped b.s. =) search technology doesn’t get me excited. at all. but that’s just me. maybe i’ll spark someone’s fire for aerospace/defense work.
