today was the second and final day of the security stand-down. we watched the presentations on realvideo from the comfort of our office. guy did less watching and more working on his business stuff, which he isn't supposed to do. i'm getting really frustrated with him.

he has a huge problem with authority.

the presentations were cool... all about super-spies, how russia got the bomb, how england spied on us too, computer hackers, stuff like that.

i went home early with guy because i wasn't feeling well. i fell asleep watching hard boiled in cantonese.

our room is such a pit. we have spent so little time in there during the last week that the entire place is now a disaster.

carolyn and i watched the big lebowski then she cut my hair. guy and camilla showed up and he was upset with me for having watched the movie without him (there was never any agreement that i was going to watch it with him, so i don't know what his deal is...).

we decided to make an effort to clean the place up. i threw away some old food in the fridge and took the garbage out on the way to the grocery to buy more. guy was going to clean the dishes.

as we were returning from the grocery, i said the carolyn, "i bet when we get in there, guy will be watching a DVD and the dishes will still be in the sink." carolyn told me i should have more faith in guy.

so we walk in the door, there's guy and camilla watching the big lebowski, and the dishes are still in the sink. i rest my case.

tonight was the first clear night in los alamos in a week or two. this is the first day that there hasn't been any lightning. what a relief!

we went out to look at stars, take advantage of the clear sky. unfortuantely, the moon is now a waxing gibbous so it's to bright to see satellites. no shooting stars either.
