straight creepy

Last week, I was invited to a Logitech customer advisory panel event in fremont. Its basically an event where Logitech users come and share their experiences, provide suggestions, and see new products. The guy I work with went to an event before and referred me to this event. It was pretty fun, they had an open bar, steak dinner, and lots of free stuff. We broke up into groups of 6 and had a discussion about how and when we use our products. And this 45-year oldish husky lady started giving her schpeeel? shh-peel (mhmmm like mop and glo) And said that after she puts her 2 kids to sleep, she goes to her office and plays world of warcraft. (she suggested brighter LED lights on her keyboard because she likes to play with all the lights off in her office lolol) I thought it was kind of funny because she was dead serious, i laughed out loud at first. Then I was thinking how funny this would have been: after Derek and I would go to sleep, my mom goes to the office, puts her headset on, and tells her online WOW friends “they’re asleep, let’s do this”

I thought I would enjoy watching the Lakers lose in the playoffs. but in the 2nd quarter of game 4, i caught myself rooting for the lakers a little bit. And i figured out why:

1) there was no sweat. 4 games and out? no pain? nothing? to be honest, i only saw a little part of game 1, and missed games 2 and 3. I thought there was no way there's going to be a sweep, i'll just watch games 5, 6, and 7. so watching game 4, it was over in the 2nd quarter! all i wanted was a sweat. i was thinking before game 4, ok, so the lakers win game 4, then they go back to LA for game 5, get blown out by halftime, and watch the home crowd booooooo the rest of the game. Or, have it go to game 6 in Dallas, Dallas blows a 15-point lead in the 4th, all the momentum goes to the lakers, then the lakers blow a 18 point lead in the 4th for the playoff exit. but no, what about kobe yelling at his teammates during a timeout, nope, nothing. the odom and bynum ejection don't count, i like them

2) i've realized how much i like phil jackson. call him lucky for coaching superstars, but the teams still have to win. i like how laid-back he seems, at least in the national media. And i like the fact that if you called him the luckiest coach in NBA history, he would probably just laugh a little and agree that he was lucky.

maybe i'm secretly a lakers fan.
