john & i are planning a party for michael & habeeb (who i have yet to meet!). apparently john & habeed are "sort of" dating (michael says this is a "recent development")! john's been emailing & planning like a madman; i just sort of nod and say, "uh-huh. sounds good." so far the vote is for a moroccan dinner. this'll be fun. :)
okay, today was the first day of the rest of my life with garrett; it could have been worse. he actually didn't talk about france at all until about 10 minutes before lunch was over, at which point he compared pete's drive to san jose to his almost missing a train in paris. and then he was unstoppable. jennifer, jeff & i have a drinking game now: every time garrett mentions france, we take a drink. being at work means no alchohol, but it's still pretty funny to hear one of us mutter, "drink," and then have three people raise their glasses.
jennifer & i practiced laughing like maurice the midget today. chuck obliged us later; while laughing i stumbled backward into his bookcase and his carefully framed online course certificate fell off and bonked me on the head. ironic, eh? it really hurt! i am still tender.
pete brought cake for jay's birthday (see soundbyte); we walked upstairs and hummed happy birthday to him. the cake was weird, though: it tasted like cornbread with jellybeans. jay is now 30; two years ago he claimed he was "middle aged;" i wonder how old he is now? :)
