Usual oatmeal breakfast. Grocery shopping at Mollie Stone's with Patrick. Snack: I got a crumby blueberry muffin and a hannukah cookie and hot water at Creighton's. Brunch at home with Scott, Andy, Ryan, Jason, and Patrick. Patrick made fruit salad, pancakes, bacon. Scott and Andy brought 3 bottles of champagne (!) and two half-gallon cartons of juice for mimosas (thanks!). We talked for a while afterwards about (not in order) China, writing, Orson Scott Card, Philip K. Dick, Ubik, webvan, kozmo, zappos.com, webcams, Seattle, Vancouver, Los Angeles, San Diego, Mountain View, Indian pizza, Microsoft Surface, iPhones, simple iPhone hacks, Webkinz, personification of animals in film, gaming, programming, Firebug, Firefox plug-ins, web development, Apple hardware rumors, home buying. When 2 of the 4 iPhones got pulled out and tapped upon, I decided I needed a photo of them all. Sneeper and Jason helped me figure out why my web server wasn't working. My dynamic IP address had changed. I changed my DNS service to point to the new IP address. Napped. Web server problem confirmed solved after I awoke. Thanks, sneeper and Jason! Patrick's homemade chicken noodle soup. Watched Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon on DVD at home with Patrick.
