Slept in til 1 PM. Late lunch with Brian and Kelly at The Ramp. Patrick and I had never been, but it's a marina-side bar and restaurant in Mission Bay. It's more straight than gay, but there were enough gay people around to make it comfortable. We shopped for shoes for me in the Castro: Rolo, Citizen, and Body Body. I tried on maybe 4 pairs, but none of them were just right enough. Coffee at Starbucks. We stayed long enough for Patrick to order a regular coffee and go to the restroom, and then they started playing "Little Bird" by Annie Lennox, and I decided we had to leave. (It's a great song, but like many gay bar instant classics, it wore out its welcome after you heard it more than 3 times a night for weeks on end.) Dinner at Fuzio: angel hair pasta with tomatoes and basil for me, bacon rigatoni (rigatoni al fuzio) for Patrick. When we got home, Patrick made Chocolate Cherry Walnut bread pudding while I shopped online for shoes and searched the web for software that would catalog all the bpms of our mp3 files while we slept. I found a few links but none that explicitly stated that that would work for hundreds of mp3 files without intervention. (We know ways of doing this already, but they are memory- and time-intensive and also require human intervention.)
