Installed the panorama frame in the hallway. Installed the bathroom cubby. Installed a power strip under the kitchen cabinets. Watched Gladiator on DVD with Patrick. Dill-battered shrimp fingers and broccoli cheddar soup for dinner. Brian Kusler sent me this beautiful BART rant today: "So complicated. Oy! You have to purchase an AirBART ticket from one of the ticket vending machines that are located near the exits of the airport. The drivers won't take cash, they'll just send you back inside to buy a ticket from the machine, which can be really annoying given the relative infrequency of the AirBART buses. The ticket machine accepts bills. If you're traveling to Oakland airport, there's no AirBART ticket machine in the BART station, so instead, you have to put a $2 BART ticket into the little fare box. Make sure the ticket you put in the box has only $2 of value on it; they won't give you change! I know it's cryptic—it's a fucking wonder that people take BART to Oakland Airport at all!"
