Some random thoughts

Today, Saturday, April 15, 2006, I went to my friend's (Laura's) baby shower. It was my first baby shower, and I thought it was a very nice and happy occasion. I also got to know Nadine, someone in my program, better. Laura got lots of gifts for the baby, I am very happy for her.

I am proud of the fact that I did not invite Roman to this. This was an event where I had invited him to before he dropped the bomb on me. Since I am not one to uninvite people to things, I decided that I would not uninvite him. However, since he never mentioned anything, I just thought I wouldn't bring it up, and he could have had a day doing whatever, or hanging out with Olivier or whatever. (I don't think he hung out with Olivier though, since he was "working" today).

Another random thought. Apparently, the sandwiches at Subway, the ones they have on special every day of the week. I thought it meant calendar day. I.e. when it's 12:01 a.m., it is next day's special. I was informed that it was the next "Business day". They probably just wanted to charge me for the full price, instead of giving me the special price. Or perhaps different restaurants have different policies. I know that at McDonald's, once the calendar day passes, it's no longer the special of the last day that is in effect. I.e. when it is 12:01 a.m. on a Thursday, and you want to order the $3.99 special, (or whatever price it is now), it's no longer the McChicken special, but the two cheeseburger special. I think I will check up on this policy with the official Subway people to see what they tell me.

I also got a fortune from a cookie. It says, "There is a true and sincere friendship between you both." I do not know who this you in the fortune means, but if it is Roman, then this fortune is very much false, because we do not have this friendship in bed. The classic joke with the fortune cookies is that the fortune works when you add in bed after it. (And it's usually the in bed part that comes true!)

While I was having my dinner this evening, a Japanese or Korean version of the song The Day You Went Away came on. I don't know if it was Japanese or Korean, but I knew it was definitely Asian. Here are the original lyrics from the song by M2M.
