Exercise. Breakfast. Did house chores. Nap. Lunch. Laundry. Nap. Patrick went to archaeology class today with Sam. Lunch at Osaka Sushi on Castro. Patrick and I went to Randy Williams' housewarming party, and we both had fun. We med Edina and her 5-year-old son, Max. Brian and Jack, whom we met at Jamie's last party. Tom and Sue were there—we knew them from many of Jamie's parties. Tina. Denise and Phil. Aaron and Jamie. We talked about parents and parenting and Edina's recent drama with her other son Nicky, The Jackass Movie and its amorality and irresponsibility, Randy's office work environment and who got new furniture recently, and the fact that Randy doesn't have a salad spinner. Jamie and Jack made mint juleps—some sort of tradition related to the Kentucky Derby, which was earlier today. As a housewarming gift, we gave Randy a card and a printout of what his phone number spells from phonespell.org. Other presents: Tom and Sue gave orange votive candle holders with a racy zebra (?) print. Brian and Jack gave an elegant glass pitcher and tumbler set (I think). Denise and Phil gave a large glass jar filled with different kinds of Hershey Kisses: creamy chocolate, toffee chocolate, dark chocolate, regular milk chocolate, and 1 or 2 other flavors I can't remember. We like his apartment—very spacious for just one person. There's even a large deck in the back. Patrick tells me today that southern California is not entirely ruled out for relocating.
