Zach: The Midnight Quest

So. Since I got my laptop a week or two ago, I have been staying up later than usual, and after the first night or two I decided something, to start a quest.
So I did. Every night at midnight, or around there I would partake on my midnight quest, on my laptop. Every night I would look up something new as part of my midnight quest, well sometimes, or most of the time, I didn't actually look things up, I just learned something new.
The first night I looked up the difference between a fiddle and a violin, here's the secret, there is no real difference. Some hard core fiddlers will adjust their violins to make it easier to play fiddling music, but there is nothing that really sets the two apart, unless it is a joke. The the difference is $10,000.
Then next I looked up Panacea, which I had always thought of as a sort of miracle medicine, but apparently it is also the name of a greek goddess. She had the power to heal anything. So I see the connection between the two. Although I was more content without knowing it was the name of a greek goddess.
I stopped looking up things after that and just let things find me. The next night I learned that there are a lot of Jewish blessings. One for every occasion nearly. I was actually given a blessing that night. I received the blessing that you say when you see someone with exceptionally skinny limbs. It was interesting.
Ummm... The next night was... something I am sure. It might have been about the process of how something becomes Kosher, although honestly I think that was another night, although none of you would know.
I can't really think of anything else of any sort of interest, except for what I learned tonight while I was writing this. Apparently Jessica likes to take pictures of me without a shirt on. But don't ask me, ask Jessica.

Anna: First Post?

Well. Its 12:30 in the morning at Dani's house and I've had too much coffee to sleep. After sitting in a lukewarm jacuzzi, listening to bad comedians at a coffee shop, discovering new music, being scared by a sleeping hobo in a garden, sharing an Oreo McFlurrie with my friend and passing some random CD through a window to the neighboring car. Crazy night.

I'm gonna cry when I leave! I have one week left before I;m gone for five months. Sad times. I wish I had some pictures to put up here or something, but this isn't my computer, soo....

Ack. My shorts are still wet. Rawr. Its gonna be hella uncomfortable sleeping tonight.

I love you all. Now our blog officially has a first post. Yay. Good morning everyone. Sleep well.
