Breakfast at home: oatmeal with diced pink lady apple, cinnamon, unsweetened soy milk. Rode Muni to UCSF Parnassus. Sprint standup by telephone. Stopped by the OSACA. Encryption meeting with Reba in U13. 1-on-1 with Cindy with Joel joining for a few minutes to discuss a website issue. Thank you lunch for commencement volunteers with a great selection of delicious food from La Med. Rode the shuttle from UCSF Parnassus to UCSF Laurel Heights with Kevin and Eric. Followup on various issues with Reba B and Sara T. Followup with Monica about encryption clinics for new residents arriving in July. Followup with some OSACA staff about Office 2013 upgrades. Followup with Eric about apachesolr_exclude_node (belay that request). Followup with Cindy and Joel about unpublishing the catalogs page. Followup with Amanda F about the catalogs page and about finding course content on coursecatalog.ucsf.edu. Began creating content for it.ucsf.edu: tech intro. UCSF shuttle from Laurel Heights to Parnassus. Rode Muni home. Dinner at home with Patrick: delivery from Kingdom of Dumpling: shrimp and chive dumplings, pork and cabbage dumplings, baby bok choy with garlic, chicken chow mein, onion pancake, beer. Birdman: Or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance) (2014) on Netflix DVD with Patrick. I loved this film not simply because the long takes and magical camerawork were impressive but also because they were done with exceptional grace and beauty. I felt as though I were floating through the story as though levitating. The layers of complexity were mind-boggling in a happy, pleasant way (different than the mind-bogglingness offered by, say, Inception).
