Web steering meeting. Lunch at desk: leftover stir-fry. Joel told me a very amusing story about how me met some guy through craigslist missed connections. Continued editing Candy's Viagra article. Showed Debrah some stuff with InDesign and how to use the schedule templates I designed for her. Later I chatted briefly with BK on instant messenger. Chatted with Chris about computer requirements and hotel architecture. Rode the N train with James on the way to dinner at Four Season with Patrick: walnut prawns, house special chow mein, garlic chicken, steamed rice, tea. Patrick's fortune: With integrity and consistency, your credits are piling up. My fortune: You are deeply attached to your family and home. Bought yogurt, shaving cream, laundry detergent at Safeway while Patrick visited with Jamie and Kai. After Safeway, I hung out with Jesse, showing him how to create an Amazon wish list. BK, Kelly, and Adrian had gone to La Mediterranee for dinner, and I waited until they returned. Little Brian showed up shortly after they arrived. Chris De Lay messaged me today when I wasn't connected to messenger: "christian_delay (Wed 02/19/03 10:05:42 PM): I saw the strangest thing the other day... a enormous group of japanese tourists dressed entirely in orange. Orange hair, orange glasses, orange shoes, pants, shirts, wristwatches, shoelaces, backpacks. It was weird. It made me wonder if it was a cult..." In the past 2 days, my copies of Opera 7.01 at work and at home have started to show ads, so I've switched back to Internet Explorer 6 as my primary browser, using Opera only occasionally when a feature at which it excels is required.
