Well it turned out to be a fairly busy interesting day. I got a good amount of sleep, but I don't think I'm adjusted yet. I still get a headache around 3pm. Last night I rented a movie and came home early. I got an old 70s Japanese movie starring Sonny Chiba. For those of you who don't know who that is, he got famous for playing in three "Street Fighter" movies(years before the computer game). And then played Hatori Hanzo in the Kill Bill movies. In fact the movie I rented last night was a re-release and it said "Before the Street Fighter killed Bill", which I thought was a great line. It was a very low quality movie but I could apreciate it as a piece of movie history. Movies like this one are the inspiration for most of the high budget action movies we see today.

Anyway I got to work today and the computer that I had worked on for two hours last night was gone. Dave had fixed it or something and sent it back to NOVA with our tech from there. I spent the day looking for programs that would help us keep the computers in NOVA updated. Today was also "Staff Apreciation Day". So we got to go to the Rector Field House for some free food and free music. Well......the music definatly should have been free. It was a bad cover band playing Wilson Pickett songs. But the food was good and I got to see some people I hadn't seen a while like Roby, and Victor Bagely. One funny thing that happend was while we were watching people go through this huge inflatable obsticle course. Candle Bryan and I were standing near the place that people left their shoes while on the course. While we were standing there a girl came up, who worked for RDP and made the general comment "wow I smell like rubber now, of course I already smelled like shit before I got on that thing". I looked at her and said "You mean that shit we just ate?", without missing a beat she said "YES" and walked away. It was really funny.....it was.....I guess you had to be there.

Shrek 2 is out today!!!!!! I thought it was going to be this weekend! I'm going to see it tonight after some silly dinner thing with a drama team that's in town. I know they'll probably want to watch it next week at Saphire, but I'm sure I won't mind seeing it again. Oh yeah, calling them a drama team is kinda a stretch. What they really are is Mimes. They do mim skits to christian music. They also do workshops to show local drama groups and church groups how to do them also. They have good ideas but I thought it was kinda lame. One funny thing come from it though, when I was talking to my Mom about the little ones being in the workshops she told me that Robbie and Daniel didn't want to do it and that she didn't make them. At first I wa about to protest and say that she should make them do it if they were scared or had stage fright. But before I could say this she said "I would force them if they had any potential...". I couldn't help laughing at this point because she didn't realize what she'd said, when she did realize it just made it more funny. It's horrible I know, but it's true....and funny.

Kate called today too!! =) She was in a very very good sounding mood. Even though she was stuck in the car with three drooling dogs. She called to give me her new cell number. She's going to use her Mom's phone this summer because she can't get Tracphone minutes on her other phone to be local to Richmond. I don't know why but I'm def not getting Tracphone when I get new service next month. I'm getting Verizon, hopefully with free minutes to other Verizon users. Which will mean that I'll be able to call Troy, Sarah, Susan, Ox, Joe, Eric, and Nick all for free.
