Dragula's simple song.





Very interesting day.  Obama is in town and the building where I work was closed off (5th st.).  No one could come in and no one could go out.  Had to wait about 15 min before I could leave the building.  My aunt who normally drives me home couldn't get her car out of the garage because they were blocking traffic so I took the bus home.

During work, about half of my coworkers went out to the lobby or the 5th floor to try and see if they could spot Obama.  One of my coworkers, Gary, came back and said he saw him but could have been joking.  Manny came in a few minutes after and mentioned something about Obama and Gary shouted out "Did you see him?! OBAMA!".  Manny made the most ridiculous sad face and said "...nobama...".  Definitely the funniest thing I heard today.  I wish I could have seen him.  Would've been something cool to say I've done... 

Spent some time yesterday finding a way to get my hands on a radio so I could listen to the Sharks game today.  Asked around and Chadwick had a radio he was willing to let me borrow.  My mom also had one but it was not digital.  It's embarrassing enough to be using a walkman, but using one with a dial makes me look way behind the times.  Unfortunately, Chadman dropped it off at Andy's and I couldn't pick it up until this morning.  Woke up Andy at 8:20 to pick it up.  Turns out that it was pointless since the lab didn't have reception.  Couldn't pick up a damn thing.  Then I spent the first 30-45 minutes at work trying to find a work around to listen to the game.  Lucky for me, there is a way and it goes as follows: Log off default lab account on lab computer, log back into the computer using personal account, remote desktop to personal workstation PC, stream live radio off the site.  I guess I'll be doing this until our office moves.  The game was so exciting and had so much energy.  Listened to the first two periods and the third in the lobby while waiting for the cops to let us out of the building.  By the way, Sharks lost.

Talking to Anjuli makes me want to watch 24 again.  Do I have the time?  Not this week... Maybe after Monday.
