Abs workout. Cleaned the bathroom sink. Made corn muffins while Patrick had leftover pancakes which we had frozen. Worked from home listening to Natalie Merchant and Alliance Ethnik. Student directory on the web project. Fixed Chris's new laptop which couldn't connect to anything by TCP/IP (dialup, DSL, or LAN). Read A List Apart. Restored interview reply forms for James to review before we make them live again this year. Link checking. Late lunch at home: leftovers from Ha's, some new steamed rice I made. Patrick says his speech-play at class went well. After that he went to Jamie's place to help set up for tomorrow's party. He came home, then went back for more setup. Late dinner at home by myself: spaghetti with garlic tomato sauce. I accidentally broke one of our Nikko low bowls while cleaning up lunch, cleaned up the mess with the vacuum, the dustpan and a brush, and a sponge. Found sigalert.com from a link on Travis's Web site, added it to the pharmacy current students page. Started rereading Timeline by Michael Crichton. I had read this years ago in Seattle, liked it. The movie is out now, so I'm rereading it before I see it in the theater. Updated my bookmarks page to remove some old table code and to insert the weather data that Chris De Lay briefly had on his blog. He took it down I guess because it stopped working for him, so we'll see how long it lasts on mine. I honestly don't know why I bother adding weather to my site, since it's so unpredictable in San Francisco and truly isn't accurate unless you have data for each of the dozens of SF neighborhoods updated every 10 minutes, but maybe Patrick—probably the only other frequent visitor to my bookmarks page—will like it.
