House chores. Started computer surgery. One hard drive, a Samsung, definitely checked out defective, so I'm inquiring about a replacement. (It's only 11 months old.) Shopping all afternoon and evening with Mom Ryan and Patrick to find Mom Ryan a new loveseat for her apartment. We went to a bunch of places (Pier 1, Pottery Barn, Sears) striking out every time but we eventually found something that worked at Levitz. Who knew she would love it at Levitz? Breakfast: fruit smoothie, yogurt, bagel and cream cheese. Lunch: leftovers. Dinner: teriyaki chicken and shrimp at Sarku Japan (Tanforan). In the course of our shopping, we had visited the new Tanforan Shopping Center. It was very crowded and Patrick got very upset because someone called me a faggot but I didn't hear it and I only found out from Patrick after we had gotten home. That and the Sarku food wasn't great, but what can you expect from a food court? Even the green tea they served us was made by Lipton. We also got Haagen Dazs at Stonestown along the way. Mine was orange sorbet (with real orange pieces!). Patrick had one scoop of hazelnut something and one scoop of chocolate something. Mom Ryan had one scoop of hazelnut something and one scoop of chocolate-covered almond something. Yum!
