Coffee for breakfast. Leftovers for an early meal (not breakfast and not brunch). Patrick and I returned a movie to Superstar, picked up caulk at Cliff's Hardware, said hi to Jesse at AAB. Patrick and I went to a same-sex marriage rally for queer Asians today. The Gay Asian Pacific Alliance event took place in a park near our home along 19th Avenue in response to a rally held by some Asian churches in April in which lots of anti-gay-marriage people held picket signs along 19th Avenue to show support for their beliefs. Many supportive speeches were given by important city, community, and church leaders, including Mabel Teng and Bevan Dufty. There were perhaps a few hundred people. The speeches were mostly good and worth sticking around for. People we saw who attended: Ray, Hao, Emery, and Ted. Nicholas came over this afternoon to pick up the free scanner I had offered on craigslist.org. Hooray! I'm free of it finally! Patrick and I cleaned then recaulked the shower and taped it up with plastic wrap to let it cure for a few days. Napped. Dinner at home with Patrick: mushroom soy sauce thin pork chops, stir-fried baby bok choy, steamed rice with Japanese seasonings. Fruit smoothie: apricot, nectarine, blueberries, orange juice, milk, sugar. Dusted the apartment, cleaned in the kitchen. For the past couple of months I've been neglecting to record in my journal when I exercise, and it's partly because I'm lazy at writing it down and partly because I've been doing it so often that it's hard to keep track of it. Patrick works on Second Island and makes a new mix. Watched Star Trek: Voyager—"Repentance."
