Today on MUNI for the first time I've seen we pull into the West Portal station and the steps on the MUNI car are still down. People who didn't notice they had to jump a 3-foot gap to board the train promptly fell about just as far downward. It was grievous. After work, Patrick and I met at Stonestown Mall for dinner and also because I needed to do research on potential haircuts for me. I sometimes call Stonestown "Asiantown" because there are so many Asians there. It's a great place for researching Chinese male haircuts. Unfortunately, we discovered that nearly all Asian boys and men in the mall had the same early 2000's style of haircut: closely cropped at the sides and about 1.5 to 2 inches long on top, either spiky or brushed forward or very little gel porcupinesque. We bought a gift for Tina and Daniel, considered getting Patrick's watch fixed, and found a Kuhn Rikon potato masher on sale at Williams-Sonoma for $6.
