Did some Web work this morning between 1:30 am and I can't remember when. Woke up again around noon. Patrick went to Jumpin Java to work. I had oatmeal and did some house chores and filed paperwork and closed my Cal Fed bank account. It was the hottest day I can remember in a long time, but there was still a breeze here in the middle Sunset. Around 3 pm I had some mandarin oranges. Around 5:15 pm I left to meet Patrick at Jumpin Java and then we went to Brian and Kelly's for dinner at 6:00 pm. We met a friend of theirs named Jesse, who had just moved to San Francisco from Michigan. We all went grocery shopping and then cooked dinner in B & K's kitchen: a tasty Thai banquet of chicken satay, beef with basil stir fry, cucumber and red bell pepper salad, and steamed rice. During dinner some guy named Roger kept calling for Jesse, but somehow no one managed to talk to him. After dinner, Kelly and Jesse played a spy game on the Nintendo N64 while Patrick and I watched and Brian welcomed his friend Krista who had brought along some of her friends for a brief social visit. We were thinking of going along to the music DJ event they were planning to attend, but it was US$12 per person to get in, it was in SoMa, and Patrick had said that he'd heard this DJ's music and it was mediocre—so we didn't go. Instead, we watched Iron Chef (it was my first time) and then later we went to Detour (while Jesse stayed home). The music was sometimes really good and sometimes quite bad and the mixing was mostly awful the whole way through, so we had fun ridiculing the DJ from afar, laughing at his creative junk. We went back to their place to get our stuff, and although we watched the NextBus for the next L-Taraval train, we ended up missing the last train because we failed to also look at the clock—we got to the station at 1:05 am—too late. Brian was too kind in letting us take their silver Golf home by ourselves, since he had just had 2 drinks and Kelly was much too tired to drive us home.
