Went downtown: Picked up our legal documents from Harold Lustig, went to Eddie Bauer to exchange a jacket Sam gave us for Christmas, lunch at Tony Roma's, shopped in the Castro, Patrick got a perfect box for free from a nice guy behind the counter at Cliff's Variety for his manuscript submission to the San Francisco Foundation literary award. Patrick makes dinner at home: creamy herbed chicken with mushrooms over thin spaghetti. We talked about who Patrick would choose to play characters in his story. For the mom in Before Las Blancas, he thought Cher or Madonna. For Neil, he thought Jude Law or Guy Pearce. For Evan, we couldn't think of anyone, but Patrick wanted dark hair, preferably black. Patrick thought about it more and came up with Frankie Muniz or Daniel Alan Radcliffe.
