The RPi has no real-time clock on board.  When you power it down, it 
loses the correct time settings.  Early in the boot-up sequence, it 
connects to an NTP server and adjusts the time.  If you inspect the 
syslog right after a power-up, you will see the timestamp suddenly jump.

My RPi runs as a headless server, and has a static IP address assigned. 
  I never had much luck with adjusting /etc/network/interfaces, in fact, 
the only thing in mine right now is

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback


However, I *did* use wicd-curses when I first set up my rpi.  In there, 
under Config, you will find an option to set a static IP address.  That 
worked for me.  You might find that wicd-curses is not installed by 
default.  If not, simply
sudo apt-get install wicd-curses

Best of luck
