Brunch at Flipper's Gourmet Burger, 415-552-8880, 482 Hayes Street. (They also serve breakfast.) We thought we would get mask making supplies at Flax, but they didn't have much of that and suggested Pearl instead. We bought wrapping paper and glue from Flax. We stopped at Scuderia West (69 Duboce Avenue) and I bought a Dainese Intruder tex black 46 motorcycle jacket on sale for $99. The salespeople at Scuderia West are very friendly and helpful. Got masks and posterboard at Pearl. Saw the new shopping center. Patrick convinced me to stop in at H and M even though my previous experiences at the first downtown store were horrible. I found lots of clothes in the kids department that fit me well including polo shirts for $8 each. Home. Snack: a banana, fig newtons. Washed dishes. More fig newtons. Backfilled camping trip journal entries. Dinner at home with Patrick: pizza, salad, root beer. Watched Jet Li's Twin Warriors on DVD. The only spoken language on the DVD was dubbed English which was rather odd since we're used to watching martial arts films with spoken Chinese and reading English subtitles. A handful of moments were awkwardly compiled (though this could well have been the dubbing). We were able to follow the story well enough, and the action sequences are really intricate and clever.
