Slept another 11 hours...I'm loving this, really I am=) I feel better because of it too...I'm slowly getting better. Still got the faucet nose, but eh...soon...soon, I'll be back to "100% Danuine". Since I woke up at 2:30 and I was planning on leaving for the workshop around 5, I only got about an hour of doing homework in. And the hw? 2 foot studies, fully shaded. I hate drawing my own feet...its tough to keep looking back and forth from my paper to my foot, to the paper...its not that my feet are ugly or anything, cuz they're not...they're quite nice specimens actually...=P Anywayz, I just got the outlines done, when it was 4..time to take the shower and get ready. Fav. blue t-shirt, olive cargos, long johns underneath for extra protection, and fav "homeless 1970's" beanie. Good thing too, cuz it was damn cold. Before I left, I gave this guy a call about a room for rent...yeah, thats right, I'm lookin'=) My friend hooked me up with the number...but the guy wasn't home, so I'll give him a call tomorro after class.
Did I mention it was nut-freezingly cold today? Sheesh...and y'kno what, it'll only get colder as winter approaches. I made it, double time to the workshop. I love it when u talk to someone for the first time, and its like...ya hit it off right away. Thats what happened today...I saw this girl from one of my classes, so during break we just started talking...I think because she smiles a lot, I kinda let down my guard...=) Oh, and "cute girl from workshop" was looking extra cute today...man...I'm such a puss, I'm such a puss...heh. For the first 40 minutes of the workshop, I looked at my gestures and kept saying to myself, "Its not your day...its not your day". The model was a super skinny, lanky dude...I suck at drawing super skinny-lanky dudes...and maybe it was because my finger joints needed time to thaw. After the first 40 minutes...things started to flow...until the latter 3rd of the class, I was whippin' out some good-quick stuff...reward: Jack In the Box dollar menu.=P
Scene fade to black...I'm back at home...took a quick nap, and cranked out the rest of my homework quicklike...with quality...joy joy. Now, I remember what I said last week...something along the lines of, "Dan, get your ass to bed by at least 2am on Fridays!" I hear you, self. I heed your wise words. SOoooOo...I'm off to bed. "Can I sing this song to all the ladies? You look so good to me....tonite......lalalala"
Well, here I am at the school's library...blogging...ANYTHING to get away from actually doing work...I'm feelin' better than yesterday...especially after the COLDBUSTER...but I still don't feel like doing work...I just wanna lounge....on my couch...or in my bed....ugh. Instead I'm here...sniffling like mad. I haven't had a runny nose in so long...man, forgot how much they suck. And I think I'm also on the cusp of a sore throat...and I FOR SURE don't want one of those...those SUCK! I'd rather live without the use of my left arm for a 3 days, rather than have one of those...cuz then eating and drinking isn't enjoyable anymore...and EVERyone knows those are 2 of life's great pleasures man. Well, I got my fingers crossed.
Did I mention I'm doing anything I can to avoid going back to the grind? Well, some friends and I have a message board on yahoo, where we all post to keep in touch, exchange ideas, and just relay going-ons in each others lives...we scheduled a chat tonite around 9ish...should be interesting. Wonder if I'll still be here...ugh...I think I will be if I keep up this pace.
So how are u? *listening...* Y'don't say....uh huh...go on.......*listening* Whoa...the same thing happened to me! Yeah, really....go ahead.....*listening* She had WHAT on? Man, I bet running must've been out of the question....yeah, totally....tell me more....*listening* NO way! Thats soo cool dude................did I mention I'll do anything to avoid going back to my desk?=P
Alrite...back to the grind...more later.

*sniff sniff* Man...I guess I wasn't feelin' as good as I thought I was feeling this morning...ugh. Still on the cusp of the "sickness/not sick" stage. PLease please please...I dun wanna be sick...I was feelin' pretty tired and lethargic throughout the whole day. I went to the library for about an hour and a half to work on my perspective homework...then at 5:30, I had to walk my ass all the way to Sutter...Man, anatomy class is quickly becoming one of the most boring classes I have...is it just that my professor, although he's very knowledgeable about the subject matter, is basically a manic depressive? yeah...I think it could be that...=) I mean just a joke here and there...a lively attitude...y'kno, that would do wonders for the class...but nope. I saw him in the hallway one day, and I was about to say hi, but he just had that look like, "Don't communicate with me, I'm bitchy" look about him....eh well.
Afterwards, a friend and I grabbed some dinner at a nearby Chinese joint. Man, greesy ass food....compounded with this near-sick feelin', just had me feelin' a little more bleh. Chatting with Jeremy thou, reminded me about my own advice...advice that I shall now bestow upon thee. The COLDBUSTER....at Jamba juice...man, that puppy helped me out bigtime when I needed it my first semester....my 2 roomates were sick as doggies...coughin' up mad phlem and just madness...I started to come down with something, but I stomped it out right quick with a few consecutive shots of the COLDBUSTER...its got like 2500 percent daily recommended vitamin C (my bro pointed out that u could probably only absorb 30% of that at a time, and the rest just gets pissed out.......but I wasn't listening=P) and a bite...I'll go get one tomorro...
Delima...."she" said she bought me a bday gift already....I have the feeling that she might've spent a pretty penny on it...and well, I don't wanna accept something thats too expensive...cuz I'd feel wierd..y'kno? I told her, "If u spent a lot on it, go return it, and buy me a candy bar and a pack of Skittles...I'll be cool." She just keeps sayin' not to worry about it...this and that. I just hope she's not...well, gettin' any ideas, y'kno? I'll probably end up spending around 30-35 bones on her bday gift....I think thats a good, "oooh, nice gift, and I don't feel wierd about accepting it either" type price....what do ya think?
I'm off to bed....got class early tomorro, and I don't wanna be sick...take care alls.

Just a quickie this "morning" before the shower and off to school. I think I'm feelin' better...but I'm still on the edge of getting sick or not. Damn, I slept 11 hours...whoa....cool! What did I wanna say....hmm...it slips my mind...more later.=)
Oh, btw, do you guys tear up little pieces of craft singles into your spaghetti? Yes?? Well go visit your kin folk then! Me? Nah....but it sounds like a pretty hip idea=) have a good day peoples.

Thought I'd break the 3am rut tonite, so hoy...its 5 hours early. I just cooked myself up a FAT batch of fried rice...got some egg in here...got some mixed vegatables...got some chinese sausage...Fried rice a la whatever-was-left-in-the-fridge. *munch munch* I can feel I'm starting to get sick...it sucks...I felt it late last night, and today, so I'm going to bed early...maybe the germs will get bored and jump ship.
Did the laundry and was gonna head down to school to do some work, but feelin' how I am...I just said "hmmm.....NAH". After getting back, I went to that local "grocery store"...if u can call it that. For you guys who've been keeping up since the beginning, you'll remember where I'm talking about...where I got the ghetto milk that expired 2 days after I bought it. Well, I thought I'd give 'em another chance. Went in, and basically, things were just rearranged...at first, they had me fooled into thinking they'd changed their ways, but after a closer inspection...flies were still there...the old almost expired food was there...the supposedly "hot food" was sitting there, in metal buckets...looking like they'd been there since morning, getting a sun tan under the heat lamps...orange chicken with the sauce nearly evaporated...beef and broccali just lookin' terrible...ugh...I went over to the vegi department...flies...and the cooler bins where the fruits and vegis sit was like...."cool" at the most. So I've now labelled that place as a place to go to only to get canned/prepackaged stuff....but hey, I did pick up some milk. I was sure to check the date. They must've just got a shipment in, because there was one batch that said Nov. 10th, and then another that said Nov. 15. So yeah...DAMN, I gotta go so far to do some hardcore grocery shopping...that sucks.
I just wanna totally relax before the start of another week...it won't be too hectic in comparison to those in the past, but I don't want this little feeling of sickness to become a full blown case of the yucky...so, sleep early, and nice tunes....think I'll try the radio tonite...haven't listened to the radio in so long....and I haven't laid eyes on TV since I moved up here. Thats good AND bad. Off I go..take care all...

What do ya kno...3 in the morn. again...this is gettin' eerie it is. Well, it was a kickback day, as Sundays are for me...my "get out of jail free" day I guess u can say. Woke up this morning to the sound of my Landlord knocking on my door...seems he finally came by to change the plug in the kitchen to a 3 prong outlet so I could finally use my microwave....he told me he had to shut down the power, and he spent about 45 minutes changing the whole rig....after he leaves, I go in the kitchen, ready to power up my nuke-machine...pick up the plug and what do I find? It WAS a 3 prong plug...but the third prong happened to be snapped off....so my landlord spent 45 minutes doing something that was completely uneeded....hah! Like hell I'mma tell him...I'll just say, "Hey Kenny, thanx for changing the plug, the mircowave works like a charm!" *used car salesman smile* Anywayz, I also asked him if we could finally have garbage pick up....he said he'd call and make arrangements for it to start next NEXT week...(since garbage pickup is on Monday here). Then I went back to bed....man, I'm LOVIN' this "I'm going to go to BED now....I went back to BED....come, see my BED....lets go over to my place and look at my BED..." OOooh.=P Basically just lounging today...I caught a glimpse of my new housemate...actually, its another couple..young, around my age...but I haven't seen the girl...and the guy, I don't really kno what to make of yet...basically just nodded to each other and I said, "w'sup"....heh...man, I guess there are moments when I'm feelin' highly social and at that moment, I was in "I'm lookin' in the fridge and I'm fixin' to get me somethin' to eat" mode and he was in "I'm going in this here bathroom, and I'm gonna sit on the crapper" mode...
I had dinner with the other housemates...like my dad says, "If they want to cook for you...and you already let them know that you felt they were doing too much for you, but they still insisted you come eat with them...then by all means, go eat with them....because you may see yourself as a burden to them, but from their point of view, you're not..." Wise words...of course dispensed in Vietnamese...which I eloquently translated into English for you Vietnamese impaired readers.=P Anywayz, it was purdy good stuff...and we ate in their room, as we watched "Young and Dangerous IV"(I think that was the title) in Chinese with English subtitles. Pretty much the premise of every other Chinese action movie...triads, double crossing...dudes who smoke way too much and talk much too little, and the women who love them....but it was pretty entertaining=) While we were eating, the guy mentioned (translated through the girl) that his computer was working, all except them modem...and he asked if I knew much about it....I told him I'd look into it. Don't u see? This is my way to return the favor=) I'll buy 'em a new modem...56k's cost what...a boot and a sock nowadays? Any suggestions on brands or models, lemme kno. Also when I came home today, I saw that they bought a new sound system/stereo from Circuit City....pretty swanky. I just helped them out reading the English manual and explaining it to them.
And now here I am...just chillin'...actually, I think I'll go catch some Zzzz's. I've been tired for the past hour or so....to quote Jeremy, *Poof*

Hmm...this blogging at 3 in the morn is becoming habbit to me. Man, I've got the worst sense of time...I think I'd operate great if I had JUST enough time to do things...not too much time, not too little...but just enough. If I have too much time, I get too comfy..."Aww, its cool..I have some time...I think I'll jump online" or..."I have 10 minutes till I have to get up, I'm just gonna lay here and.....*snore*" And thats what happened to me today...I went to sleep around 4 yesterday...it must have been the combination of getting only 3 hours of sleep, and my magnificent new bed but this morning, my alarm went off a bit early, so I just decided..."15 more minutes..." Next thing I kno, its 8:30 and I'm 40 mins late for class again...same as last week. Note to self: "Friday..get your ass to bed by 2am"
Class was good as usual...John and I decided to head on out to Chinatown for lunch...we found a small hole-in-the-wall type Hunan place...the food was decent, but first off..they didn't give enough rice man...they gave a bunch of the meat and stuff, and like a little rice bowl of rice. I don't kno what it is, maybe years growing up trying to get the most out of a meal...whatever...but I have a really high rice to meat ratio. I could make a tablespoon of kung pao chicken last 3 bowls of rice man...I'm that good! haha. Of course, I can go the opposite and eat 3 bowls of kung pao chicken with one tablespoon of rice...but honestly, its harder. Second of all...this place had HORRIBLE tasting water...John took a sip and his face crinkled up as he said, "It tastes like they've got every single mineral deposit in here...from rusty pipes or something..." Then I thought..."If the water tastes like this...no doubt, they're making tea with the water...they're COOKING with this water..they're making RICE with this water...." ewwww....to restaurants, PEOPLE THINK THESE THINGS. And their tea was pretty weak....won't be back there. One of these days, I'm gonna find this dope ass hole in the wall place...I'm certain they're out there...but right now its 2 for 2 bad ones.
I have a really jacked up sleeping schedule right now...I mean, I took a "little 6 hour nap" at 9pm...now its 3:30am and I'm up again....wtf?! Okay okay, I better get back to bed soon, so I just don't go messing up my whole rythm...err...whats left of it.
Man, just glancing over and seeing my bed...it just makes this room feel more like "home". I think I'll go test it out again=) talk to u later all..
