Last night I got a call from Ryan to finally organise the carpool down to skydiving this morning. We met at work (the universal meeting place, it seems, for interns) at 9ish and from there all headed off in my car – Ryan, Jeff, Deepu, Stephane (guy, actually – French :P) and myself.

For work last week the whole lot of us went out to Dave & Busters, which is this big restaurant slash entertainment place… kind of like a mix between, say, the Tanti pub and Timezone.

(aside: I went and saw “I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry” last night, which was surprisingly good for the most part; I recommend it to the general concerning moviegoer ;) ) This morning I went down to Santa Cruz with some guys (and girl) from work to go surfing there. Laura had suggested it… Read more
