Worked on Lodestar. Errands in the Castro, said hello to Jesse while crossing the street at 18th and Castro. Lunch with Patrick at Thailand Restaurant. Rented videos from Superstar on Castro. We were planning to do grocery shopping at Safeway, but the power had gone out for various buildings in the area. Gold's Gym and Cafe Flore and that block of Noe was all without power. The power came on for a few minutes but then went out again. Dessert at Pasta Pomodoro: warm chocolate cake—this time with vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, and chocolate sauce. Grocery shopping at Tower Market. Watched Lara Croft: The Cradle of Life on DVD with Patrick. The film was better than I had expected. The DVD extras were well done except we had trouble getting some of the extra features to play.
