guinea pig wearing a crocheted hatCaturday has been canceled. It’s Cavy Day!

The entire crew plus almost everyone from the 7th floor went out to lunch on Friday. No one had any idea where to go, so I suggested the Hero Factory on 1st Ave. Only a few of us had been there, so it was a new experience for many of us. Almost everybody liked the sandwiches. That was about it for excitement on Friday, except for the string of strange yet mostly harmless weird problems with the database that all happened half an hour before I was supposed to leave.

At about 7:30pm on Friday, it started raining in Tempe. No thunder, just a slow rain. That’s great, because we haven’t had enough rain in the whole Phoenix area. We’re also trying to see if we can get enough of us together to go see “District 9″ and have dinner Saturday. The reviews I’ve read of that movie make it sound OK, even though it has A Message. (Aliens =~ blacks under South Africa’s apartheid system, what an original metaphor. . .)

Apparently, Shirley Manson is in Guitar Hero 5. This made John’s day.
