Today was a good day. This morning I had what was probably the best phone interview of my life. The manager interviews always make me nervous, I always feel a bit out of my depth no matter how cool they are. This morning the interview was with the hackers. I am so much more comfortable around technical types, and I think it showed in my performance. They are definitely a stand up bunch of guys.

After the interview I went to class. The weekly meeting with Prof Xie was cut very short because she was baby sitting for her daughter and the daughter of another professor. Apparently someone ditched a stolen Budget Rental Truck near the child care center and they played it safe and assumed the truck was filled with ammonium nitrate.

I left work early this evening and went to see Garden State with Chris (on recommendation from Sara with no 'h'). It is a quality flick. I recommend it highly. It was even worth the 6 USD I paid to get in.

After the movie there was more poker with Ally, Jack, EB, and Terry. John (Lita's BF) threw a temper tantrum about the noise we were making (without asking us to be quiet first). I cut out quickly after that, but it looked like the house was quickly degenerating into a melee. Everyone who lived there quickly joined in the blame game. It felt like such useless Freshmen nonsense. I suppose I should consider the fact that several of them are not much older than freshmen, but it was truly pathetic none the less.
