Woke up before my alarm went off, just stayed there kind of groggy until it did. I pottered around doing some work stuff, accounts, emails, that kind of thing.

I walked over to the Terry desk to pick up a package that Mike had shipped to me (along with some others that should be arriving in the next few days) because they don’t ship to New Zealand. Nice day out, pleasant walk… eh, what’s the point of being in the US if you don’t get some of the perks for your friends? ^^;

I did a bunch of reading technical papers that I’ve needed to read for a while. I then went and cooked up some BBQ Beans that Anastasia gave me the recipe for that I’d had a few times with her when I was down in Florida. While I was in the kitchen I ran into Aidan, who told me to try some of his chicken soup… not bad, had radish and mushroom and chicken pieces all in a broth-looking liquid. It had that “I’m sure this is good for me” kind of taste. Or perhaps that “this better be good for me” kind of taste. Anyway, the beans were good, I even got the rest of the people here (which turned out to be quite a few) to try it, they all said it was good.

I chatted to Anastasia a little before she went to bed, then did some more reading. I chatted to Rach for a little while (she’s been in Auckland with Kat).

Felt a bit crappy at the end of the day actually, I went to bed a bit earlier than I thought and tried to sleep.
