Breakfast at desk: oatmeal. More work on Mike L.'s computer. Started setting up Cindy's computer. Prepared two telephone maps for Mike R. for our office move. Lunch at desk: small chow mein from Panda Express. My fortune: A photo cannot capture your charm. Dinner at home with Patrick: orzo with vegetables, basil, and asiago; grilled chicken boobs; Italian country bread. Napped on the couch while Patrick talked to his mom on the phone and listened to Billie Holiday. I folded clothes while Patrick did dishes to MC Solaar. Listened to Alphaville's Forever Young while catching up on news, e-mail, and journal. Patrick and I had a disagreement on whether periods should go inside or outside of the parentheses. (I was right; in general, they go inside only if the parenthetical is a complete sentence, as in this sentence, but it's slightly more complicated than that, and I won't go into the details here.) Chatted online with Chris De Lay—hadn't done that in a long time. Fun! He wants my X10 modules and I'm tired of them so I'm sending him the whole darned box of X10 junk I've collected.
