Rode Muni to UCSF Parnassus. UCSF shuttle from Parnassus to Laurel Heights. Breakfast from The View Cafe: egg and cheddar on english muffin, fresh cut fruit. Linkchecking, kiosk work. Standup meeting. Lots of listserv management: adding extras to the jobs list, handling edits from Lucia. Lunch at Beautifull! which has recently completely remodeled. Everything looks new: the interior and exterior, a new color scheme, and a new menu. I had three onigiri for $10.21 after tax: tea-smoked salmon, kale and arame, curry tofu. Of the three, the tea-smoked salmon tasted the best. The kale and arame was a little too soggy, tasted very green. The curry tofu was just alright; tasted great but otherwise nothing exciting. Shopped at Wine Impression, bought two bottles of champagne and a gift bag. Content and styling work in Drupal: getting admissions in shape for review. UCSF shuttle from Laurel Heights to Parnassus. Attended Chris C's retirement party in the Lange Room at the library. Met or encountered naika m, alondra m, michael v, lucia, greg couch, brian alldredge. Met Alan C in person for the first time. Among other things, we talked about a restaurant called Spring Deer in Hong Kong, famous for its Peking duck. I gave him a bottle of Charles de Casanove brut in a green jute wine carrier with a John Robshaw notecard (bird). Content and styling work in Drupal. Rode Muni home. Dinner at home with Patrick: sweet corn on the cob, hamburgers with fixins, hot water. Achieved inbox zero at home. Tried new battery-operated heated house slippers by voltheat.com; they work! Did some trip planning.
