Last night I dreamt that I had hair down past my ears and that overnight it had turned white streaked with colors like black, dark brown, light yellow and silver. In a different dream, I was in a school for very young children seated at a low round table with a darkish-skinned boy—perhaps Hispanic—and a woman older than me. The boy was reluctant to do his learning exercises, but the woman and I encouraged him to do them so he did. I didn't want to be there but couldn't or didn't leave.—Link checking. Cable management for Debrah. Helped Emmanuel Addo with reinstalling Eudora and his RAS connection. Made changes to the course substitution page for Cindy. Lunch with Joel at Nan King Road Bistro. We talked about his new boyfriend Isaac Mizrahi. Put signs on the computers in the old student lounge saying they were out of commission. (Their hard drives still need to be wiped, though.) Called Mike R because Debrah's phone was still ringing when Joel got calls—it wasn't fixed like Mike R said. He says it will be fixed by tomorrow. Edited Bill Soller's medical article on emergency contraceptive pills. It was originally 3,000 words—much longer than we'd like, so I had to do a lot of trimming and consolidating. It's looking better, but I'm still only about 45% done with it. Patrick had a business meeting today with Jerrett Walker, former fiction editor of Blithe House Quarterly, another GLBT journal of literature on the Web. Dinner at home with Patrick: salad mix with dill, tarragon, mushrooms, tomatoes, aged cheddar, basil, yellow bell pepper, leftover chicken tikki kabob, French vinaigrette. Leftover naan. Patrick bought a new snack cracker today: Annie's Cheddar Bunnies—they're very tasty.
