Random ramblings on a cold summer morning
Question of the day: if you take a 30-minute nap at 11 PM and wake up six hours later, can you still legally call it a nap?
Yes, yes, I took a nap at 11 PM last night. I know that sounds stupid, but I was very tired, okay? It had been a long day. Well, not really, but it felt long because I only had around an hour of sleep before waking up at 8 AM to catch game 6 of the unexpectedly exciting Celtics-Hawks series.
In the afternoon, rain started pouring down moments after ArsenaL and I got to flag football practice late. Well, that sucked. And I was so eager to get back on the field after a three-week hiatus. I badly needed the exercise; my "beer" belly ("beer" is in quotes because I don't even drink beer) seems to be growing a bit more each day. It would have been fine if not for the fact than I'm as thin as a stick, and my bulging belly makes me look like an Ethiopian orphan (totally not cool unless Angelina Jolie would adopt me). The last thing I need is adding body image issues to my long list of mental problems.
Anyway, we watched Iron Man at SM Megamall and had dinner at Teriyaki Boy. I hadn't watched a movie at Megamall in years, and I'm happy to report that the place still sucks ass. They have the most uncomfortable seats with strangely sticky armrests (please let that be just a result of spilled soda... please).
I got home at around 10:30 PM and quickly got drowsy. So I set the alarm on my cell phone to go off in 30 minutes and plopped down face first on the bed. I was asleep in seconds.
I've recently replaced my cell phone's ugly rubber casing with a smooth plastic one. It looks great, but it also made the phone a bit slippery. The thing now slides randomly across my night table whenever it vibrates, which is what happens when the alarm goes off. Last night, as I sleepily groped around in an attempt to chase it down and stop the alarm, I apparently managed to somehow hit the remote control of my air conditioner enough times to turn the temperature all the way down to 16°C. Brrr.
At a little past 5 AM, I woke up shivering like an Ethiopian orphan with malaria. I had to run and make myself a steaming cup of instant coffee, which is quite a silly thing to do on a summer morning. But I'm all warmed up now, and I feel great. That 30-minute nap really did the trick.

(Whee! Snowflakes!)
Fuck! I knew it! Iron Man has a bonus scene after the end credits! Can't believe I missed it. Fuck.

(Yes, those are ASCII snowflakes. I'm a geek.)
Mica made a nice "tribute" video from iBlog4 chicken pictures, and I stole it. Yay! Go watch.
Snowflakes are hexagonal :-P
Go change the font, there are some that give * as a hexagonal star, including the all time favourite Courier New :-P

My new blog (even I don't know why I need it)
Trying to out-geek me huh :-P
Good thing I'm lazy.
i saw the bonus scene in youtube
and couldn't they find other actors instead of him? =)
Him who?
Are you referring to Robert Downey Jr. or that guy in the bonus scene? :-P
that guy in the bonus scene,
but some people like that guy.
I think it's a very cool cameo
Why don't you like him? Because he's black? Racist.
he's in around 3 to 4 movies per year
plus he was a jedi, now he's a superhero
I guess
we've managed to reveal his identity, heh. Yay for spoilers.
noooooo
Noooooooooooooooooooo. I was going to suggest that you watch the bonus scene on youtube and now this (obv I haven't seen Ironman :()
Oh well.
I don't really find Megamall theaters bad per se, its the maintenance and lack thereof that just bothers people like those sticky arm chairs, ew...
Sorry about the spoiler
Blame ArsenaL. He's the one who gave it away :-P
I think Megamall theaters suck because they're old. In particular, their seats are nowhere as comfortable as the ones in newer theaters.
will see Iron Man tomorrow. thanks for the heads up
so there's flag football practice now? what's it like...
Practice happens
when there aren't enough people for a game :-D
You gotta
love the Ethiopian orphan reference. You must have been thinking about Idol Gives Back huh? Shit. Am I the only one who hasn't watched Iron Man. PHAIL.
Oh yes, yay for naps indeed. Well it's still called a nap unless you take a shower when you wake up. If you did, then you slept, if you didn't then you napped. BAhahahahaha.
Never heard that definition before :-D
So you're saying that Europeans nap more often than they sleep? Hehe.
For me, it's the thought that counts. So if you thought that you were just going to nap for 30 minutes but unintentionally snoozes for 6 hours, it's still a nap. Yay!
They're great
Naps are great. I sometimes feel more refreshed after a nap than a full 8 hour sleep.
Iron Man was great. Need I say more
Cellphone Alarms are great. But man, I have never woken to the sound of my cellphone alarm. The tones I have are too soothing to wake me up!
Teriyaki boy is great, but Karate Kid is a good contender. LOL!
Flag Football was great! That was one of my P.E. class in college. Kinda hard to get a hang of it at first since I was thought the normal kind of football.
You have flag football experience?
You should come join us one of these days. You'd be a superstar since most of us are newbies.
what's there to learn?
are there rules? I thought it was just like playing tag.. with a ball.
Heh, yeah
Most American football rules apply.
Wow this doesn't sound like
Wow this doesn't sound like you :P
Why?
Because I didn't say "poop" every other sentence? :-P
I don't know
it just doesn't :P
sm megamall sucks ass
haha..i like thatpost.. i dont like watching movies at sm either...wel.. i used to..but not anymore. id rather watch at promenade or eastwood.. hehe.. i got traumatized in sm and rob cinemas.. :p
Traumatized?
Why? Did you get one of those sticky seats? :-D
Years ago,
I always watched in robinsons and sm. I sometimes do get sticky floors. I always thought it was dried softdrinks.
Yes,
that's the best case scenario :-P
Tsk...
Ethiopian baby with malaria~~ racist!!!! :P
Ethiopian isn't a race :-P
So I'm just an insensitive jerk, not a racist.
