Stardust

  • s/w MS in re: remote diagnosis and proper treatment of the lunatics in our computers.
  • laundered. Collected dry cleaning. Sm. hole in the purple cardigan; asked them to clean it anyway - pickup Wed am.
  • to EB. Serious traffic in SF. Saw an actual amphibious vehicle driving around Union Square. While walking from NBB to M's, was asked by fellow pedestrians which way was north. Still believe I answered correctly.
  • Discussed quilt edging & Halloween costumes w/M.
  • Presentation of presents.
  • Dinner w/ M, A, S, and Spanish Mathematician.
  • To Eville for movie. M parked cleverly. Movie sold out.
  • To Andronico's for ice cream and cake. Singing & dancing to Thelma Houston + discussion of standard excellence of in-store soundtrack.
  • To M's for Scrabble. M won (observed). Drank float. Was paid a quarter to eat cake.
  • Valiant attempt on BB, aborted @ last exit d/t general recognition of ridiculousness of enterprise. (Suspect only 1 or 2 lanes open each way, because, damn.)
  • Lots of loungers in Embarcadero Stn; no cabs @ Hilton cab rank. Caught cable car. Per brakeman, concert @ ball park => crowd. ["Rock the Bells": Rage Against the Machine, Public Enemy, and many, many more played the McCovey Cove parking lot.]
  • To Cala. Bought crumbled feta for tomorrow's lunch.
  • s/w KP. All well in the Far East, though the sub-prime mortgage crisis looms larger there. He was on his way to get a foot massage.
  • Off to bed.

Today's earrings: diamonds, suns

Bedtime reading: American Gods, Neil Gaiman
