Took apart computer #2, then rebuilt it with all new components. It was the quickest I'd ever done an upgrade before. I knew exactly what to do because computer #1 was upgraded not long ago and the components were all the same. Leftovers for lunch. Dentist appointment with Dr. Natasha Lee. Dr. Lee didn't do my cleaning herself this time. All her staff has changed over since my last visit. Now there's an assistant (a hygienist?) named Emily who says she graduated from the School of Dentistry last June. All the new staff is very courteous and on the ball. I went in for just a regular cleaning and was told that I'm doing an excellent job of taking care of my teeth. Neither Patrick nor I like the art that's on the walls now. The one in Room #1 was of two skunks—yuck! Dinner at Nan King Road Bistro with Patrick: steamed dumplings, hong kong noodles, one hot tea for Patrick: $11.66 before a $1.75 tip. At home, Patrick and I watched So Close on DVD, which was recommended by Tina. This film has an even amount of cable fu martial arts action and cliched laughoutloud plot lines. You'll laugh at the disbelief you're asked to suspend, but nonetheless I found it an entertaining film. There are a few scenes with exceptionally well choreographed stunts.
