right on bro!

Feeling better. The sore throat is pretty much gone. I have a slight cough and my voice is still cracked like an OC housewife who smokes too much. (You guys know….that chick who was playing blackjack with us at the Sahara.)

Not smoking for the first few days was a lot easier than I thought it would be. Today, however, was a different story. The urge kept popping up all afternoon and evening. It’s mostly in situations that I’ve found myself smoking before - after dinner, at a bar, in between rounds of Socom. I ended up chewing quite a bit of Nicorette gum today, but managed to make it through. This is six days straight.

The more days that pass, the more that I feel embarrassed, like a recovering addict, except I don’t have any real addiction like heroin or whatever. Nice work.

Went to Hollywood Thai Cafe with a friend tonight. It’s only one of two places that I know of where you can get tom yum soup, but with fish, which is, like, my favorite Thai dish in, like, the entire universe. The other place that has the soup is Vim, which is also a fantastic restaurant. But besides the soup, Hollywood Thai wasn’t quite as good as I remember from the last time I was there.

Oh….Comcast upgraded my cable modem service to from 1.5mbps to 3.3mbps down, for free. It’s real dope. However, they also seemed to have reduced my upstream from 256k to about 180k. That’s not real dope.

Weekend’s coming…thank god.
