So while we were eating dinner at Paco’s Tacos, Nate told us about a cover of “Against All Odds” that The Postal Service does and he later played it on his ipod for Josh and I. The thing is, I love that song. I love Phil Collins and it reminds me of my friend Mark because that was his favorite karaoke song. Their version is very different, but I like it, which is very unlike me because I usually don’t like covers of songs that I already enjoy.

I added a brief blurb about myself in the My Profile section of this website. I will periodically update it soon and try to make it more interesting and personal. It was harder than I thought it would be, so it may take a while.

It was weird to be back at work again today. I wasn’t “on” as much as I wanted to be. I think I needed to recover from the long weekend. But there are some things that made me happy, like lunch…the Monday Fatburger days. Something about its regularity and the company is so pleasant.

Shahab showed me the cool Beta Google suggest website. It auto completes based on the top searches on the site and lists how many results they have in their database. It’s cool for people like me because I am lazy. Check it out!

Well, it was Greg’s last night in town before he goes back to Texas, so we decided to get together again and have fun. We ended up playing 90’s Trivial Pursuit and watching Hiroshima mon amour. I didn’t pay attention to it as much as I would have liked to, so I will have to watch it again soon. We later found out that it is impossible to eat 10 saltines in under 1 minute. Kurt and Greg tried, but the most they could get was 5. It was a fun little exercise. Maybe we should try drinking a gallon of milk in an hour or eating 50 hard boiled eggs in an hour. We will have to do that when Greg comes back into town.
