Asian Fever

December 23rd, 2006 by ellidyr

what’s w/ asian girls who have the white fever?  my friend (who’s now engaged) insisted on showing me this profile even though i told him i was in a relationship…

anyways, i read her profile and one part of it jumped out at me…

"i prefer white man only…somepeople email me & say i should date asian man also. i only like white man. "

seriously…wtf?!
what’s wrong w/ asian guys?  are we so horribly disfigured that u can’t
date us?  *sigh*  i mean, i know white guys who have the asian fever
but they’ll still date white girls.  it’s not like they won’t go out w/
a hot white chick just cuz they got the fever…

anyways, my
co-worker sam walks over and says "why are u looking at this stuff?"
my neighbor bill (who’s married) jumps in and goes "hey, you can look
at the menu.  there’s nothing wrong with that.  but the real question
is…can you order an appetizer."

Low Morale

September 29th, 2006 by ellidyr

i had
lunch w/ some co-workers and i realized that people’s morale were
pretty low.  i guess that’s an understatement cuz we found out that
willy was leaving and everyone was really happy for him.  so we were
chatting and talked about some of the frustrating things at work. 

willy: so i was gonna write this email to [my boss] but got halfway and decided not to send it…
ryan:
yea, i do that a lot.  every time something crappy happens, i write
this really long nasty email but then i end up not sending it and
saving it as a draft.
me: so how many do u have in ur draft folder?
ryan: at least half a dozen…
me: dang

so then we talked about working late…

jerry: yea, this isn’t the kind of job where u work 9-10 hrs every day. 
sam: it’s more like get in at 10 leave at 5.
willy: well, there’s two chances of me working late.  slim and none.  and slim left town.

man, i love going to lunch w/ my co-workers.  makes me feel less bad about my job.

Fortunes

September 13th, 2006 by ellidyr

we
had a farewell lunch for debbie today and most of the engineering team
showed up.  as usual, it was a gripefest about things that weren’t
going super at the company.  one of my co-workers said he was so
frustrated that he felt like leaving.  not sure if he was serious or
not but it would suck cuz he’s good at his job.

anyways, we went
to a chinese restaurant and at the end of the meal was fortune
cookies.  sam opened his cookie and goes "OMG!  that is SO not true".
his fortune said: "you will be involved in many humantarian projects."
the co-worker who felt like leaving had left early so he didn’t get to
read his fortune.  so we opened his cookie anyways and it said "follow
your beliefs".  sam’s like "dude, let’s go bring him his fortune!"

Lunch Conversation

August 17th, 2006 by ellidyr

so
we were walking down old town for lunch and as usual, we saw a buncha peddlers asking for money.  we passed by the "a lil help
pls" guy, the "cat on a leash" guy, the "big dog" guy, and the "hooded
guitar" guy. 

on our way back, i told my co-worker sam "ok,
if i were to give money to any of these guys, i would have to pick the
big dog guy.  he actually looks like he needs money and that poor
dog…"

sam goes "dude, that big dog guy owns a pickup.  he
parks it in the parking lot across the street.  i’ve seen him! plus,
dont u think that big dog’s pretty fat.  i hear these peddlers make
like $10/hr!"

…$10/hr!?…dang…that’s better than minimum wage!!

Blood Sucking Spiders

August 14th, 2006 by ellidyr

ok,
it’s official.  i LOVE youtube.  i get all my favorite naruto episodes
there.  my roommate’s gf agrees.  she gets all her favorite korean
soaps.  youtube rocks.

anyways, so i was watching naruto on
youtube last night when i noticed this weird looking spider crawling on
the carpets.  it’s like transparent but red so it looked kinda
scary…maybe poisonous?  so i decided to show it to my roommate but
he’s already asleep.  oh well, i went to the kitchen, got a small shot
glass and cupped the carpet w/ the spider in it and went to bed.

i
went to work in a rush this morning so i forgot about the shot glass.
oops!  i guess he’s in for a nice surprise when he wakes up…

oh wait, i think his gf slept over last night.  uh oh…let’s hope he finds that shot glass before his gf does…

Hold It!

August 7th, 2006 by ellidyr

so
i went to san diego w/ a group of my high school friends this weekend.
u would think after more than 10 yrs, some of these guys might have
matured.  no such luck. 

so we were at seau’s restaurant and
one of the guys, tomas, needed to go the bathroom but he had a doggybag
from the restaurant in his hands…

tomas: hey kimchi, i need to go the bathroom.  can u hold it for me?
kimchi: no…no man! u asked me the same thing yesterday.  i told u…im not gonna hold it for u.  u hold it ur dam self!

sadly…i got the joke and burst out in laughter… *sigh*

July 26th, 2006 by ellidyr

ofaelin: i always thought it was "robots in the sky"

kristova: uh…i don’t think the transformers were gay…
